Holiday Fic Post #7

[lizinstereo]

This is the last post! Keep an eye out for the final holiday ficlet and my SLS fic. I'm going to write them tomorrow (I hope - that's the last writing day I have).

For americnxidiot - she requested board games/competitiveness and Leslie and Ben. This turned into nerdy LAN network games.

I love this so much. I love how you captured their relationship so perfectly. It was fluffy but not at the same time because it was just something you could see actually happening. I loved her constantly being turned on by his tactics and words, and trying to use it against him. I loved him calling her Knope. I just loved it all. SO cute.

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

This is adorable. And as an avid player of those stupid CIV type games, I identify with both of them completely.

[lizinstereo]

I play CIV too! It's addictive.

Thanks for reading!

oh this was great. especially "“This is dumb. How does winning the space race trump diplomacy, robust trade, and kindness?”

thank you so much! happy festivus :)

[lizinstereo]

You are most welcome. Have a wonderful festivus!

Oh my goodness, you have no idea how much I love this. My husband is a Civilization nut and sometimes I indulge him and play but I always lose because I build peaceful societies and he's a warmonger. The bit about Alexander the Great threatening him is hilarious. I feel like I have heard the same complaint come out of my husband's mouth.

"'You’ll find out when we exchange formal diplomatic relations for the first time.'

Leslie knew that wasn’t a sexy sentence, but she still thought it was sexy anyway."

That was my favorite part. It is so them.

Alexander is the most annoying opponent. Whenever he flounces onto my screen on his horse and introduces himself, I curse. Loudly.

I fight wars when I play, but I tend to go for a cultural or science victory.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

Re-reading since this is practically canon now.
