Oh, Kate.

Exquisite work, my darling, as always! I am so floored!

katernater August 19 2009, 03:07:04 UTC

Thank you! It had been a while since I'd written the two of them, so I had to go back and watch a couple of episodes to refamiliarize myself with their brand of, ah, "signature interaction."

I think you did a perfect job, lovey! Didn't we write a scene a lot like this? :D I think you did a brilliant job!

I forgot just how hard it is to write Cuddy. I supposed I had just gotten into the routine of writing for curmudgeons, functional vampires and crazy island-dwellers who bake hams as romantic overtures.

Aw, bless. Thank you for reading!

When are we talking, girlie? I have much to tell!

katernater August 19 2009, 03:18:30 UTC

Give me a ring anytime tomorrow! From the little tidbits I read on your journal, it sounds like you've got quite the story to tell.

Fantastic! Your sense of setting and character voice are spot on - really a fun read.

katernater August 19 2009, 07:53:56 UTC

Thank you for the comment! It was a great deal of fun to write, so I'm glad that some of that transferred.

Oh wow, this is fantastic! Really great writing, wonderful characterizations..

first off: i TOTALLY remember those rooms from college and they sucked. thanks for stirring up that memory ;]

this was really great :] i can really see college cuddy being this anal :] and i love that HE didn't know HER name - it's always refreshing when he's not omniscient. it's also an interesting spin on them meeting. nicely done.

Thank you very much for reading!

I'm drawn to their university years. Maybe because I just finished mine and I'm trying to hang on to that nostalgia. Plus, like Chase has said, they're "just to nasty to one another not to have been...nasty."
