Once upon a time, I wrote a fanfic for this show.  People seemed to dig it, so I wrote another.

I love this. It's beautifully written, and I think you really get Marcy; some of those lines Ican see her saying aloud in my head. The Hank/Marcy ship is made of win, though Hank and Karen will always be 'the two' for me. Hank is captured so well in this too - it really is DD I'm seeing in my head reading this. Great job.

That's such a relief to me, like you wouldn't even believe. When you think about it, we don't know nearly as much about Marcy as we do about Hank, but I love her like crazy and wanted to take a shot at her. Getting anywhere near an "in-character" area is definitely a success in my mind. Like you, despite the many issues I have with Karen, she is Hank's #1 lady, much as I do love Marcy. But it was still fun to step outside that line for a bit to play. ;)

Aw I'm glad. Though seriously - you should worry, it's good. We don't know as much about her, but she's such a strong character - she seems very what you see is what you get, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Playing with that was so good too.

Incidentally, when I'm a published author do you want to do a dust jacket for me??

[leucocrystal]

Awesome, you got it! That is, that I also wanted to play with how up-front Marcy appears to be. She does often seem to be very "what you see is what you get," and yet in the two seasons we've known her she's fallen into sexual and drug experimentation, which definitely suggests some interior issues. I had fun playing around in there for a bit, too.

Hah! Believe me, you could get much better people working for you at that point! I'm flattered that you'd ask, though. ;)

[memories_child]

Yes, it worked really well to me =) And this has made me watch to do a Cali rewatch now.

At that point I'm pretty sure you'd be one of the much better people ;)

I've totally been doing a rewatch lately too! I'm starting with S1 of course, since I have that on DVD, but it's been a lot of fun. I just wish I'd ever caught up on my S2 episode posts, but at this point that's a completely pointless lost cause, lol.

[memories_child]

Yeah I think I'll start with S1 - maybe tonight as my birthday plans have been put on the backburner. Hmm, wintry weather, fire and S1 Cali - sounds like a good night in!

Yeah it'd be great if you had been able to catch up on your S2 posts, but I think you're right that it's a lost cause now!

[leucocrystal]

Oh no, I still hope you're able to have a good birthday! (And Happy (early) Birthday of course to you, dear. ♥)

I may do some kind of wrap-up at some point, I just worry it would get majorly out of control at this point, lol. Who knows?

[memories_child]

Thank you! Hoping we'll have snow so I'll get the day off work tomorrow =D

It might, but I'm sure it'd still be fun to read!

You never know what I'm cooking up on the side. We'll see. ;)
