Ack. Gina. I love this, and you for writing it.

[lyssie]

Thank you. She still makes me sad and angsty, and sort of want to fix her, but I'm not sure that's possible. :/

Jeanne! Paulla! Mentions of Kendra!

This is lovely and ouchy. I miss Gina now.
And now I can bask in my great influence. Or something like that. *laughs*

[lyssie]

My ridiculous backstory about how Paulla and Jeanne fell in-together! heh. (I miss Gina, too, even if I'm not sure what they would have done with her)

Your influence stuck at work, where the notes for this were jotted down. =D

Thank you.

This was so beautiful. I love the way you use the blurred history to bring so many factions into one and use them to bring people together- women that I've hoped would have met and would have helped each other. I love the idea that Paulla and Jeanne would have known and helped Gina, and belonged to Demand Peace, and I love how you play it out here very simply but with so much emotion.

I'm glad, too, that in this line of thought she spared them when she blew the Cloud Nine. I love how you have Gina caring for them.

I would really like to talk to you about these characters and this line of thought.

[lyssie]

Thank you =D

I really do think it makes sense for Paulla and Jeanne (especially Jeanne, who always seemed as though she needed a cause to believe in--whether, Paulla, Gaius, God or something else, like maybe Peace With the Cylons) to have been involved there, in some way. And besides, Paulla is comfortable with a gun. (my specious justification, let me show you it. =D)

I don't know that this Gina made that conscious decision. But maybe she did.

[lyssie]

Gina is so twisted and lost, and you're right, I don't think she can ever be unbroken. It's not something anyone can survive and come back to 'all right', so to speak (they will live, but...)

Thank you =D

Wow, this is great. I love the idea that Paulla and Jeanne were with Demand Peace -- that fits perfectly with their story. Gina's emotions are spot-on, too... I felt so sorry for her, and this brings it all back. Wonderful job.

[lyssie]

Thank you =D

As I said above, I thought about that at some point and decided it made perfect sense for part of why they were so organized with Gaiusnapping and all.
