Heh. Do I get the feeling that Sylvia deserves every snarky comment? I loved that bit. And the anonymous warning as the guard drops Nikki in her cell.

Sylvia deserves everything dished out to her, that's for sure! THe problem with her is that sometimes she can't take an equal portion of what she gives.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback. I enjoy hearing what people specifically enjoyed.

I agree - I love hearing what people think worked and didn't work. I always enjoy your fic because I don't follow the show yet find your stories very accessible. I'm also thinking of a few femmeslash stories (maybe regency era ones), and so enjoy reading to get ideas on how different people approach stories.

I do the same thing. I've only been writing femmeslash since June, so I enjoy reading other people's work to see how they created their story lines, built up the characters, wrote their sex scenes, etc.

My world has totally opened up since entering the world of fan fic too. I don't think I'll ever watch TV the same ever again. It's like I watch now to see where the underlining relationships are, what subtext is present, who I would like to pair up. For instance: The two agents in Numb3rs--David and Colby--so gay. *g*

Are those their names? They scarcely register except when they're being annoying - but I do notice when they are flung into randomly heterosexually romantic situations. That seems to happen in lots of shows, and I think fan fic is a great mechanism for looking deeper.

Femmeslash seems to get ignored, though, and I can't tell if that's because lesbians, while hot, are threatening to straight women because it is something they could actually, physically explore, or if it's just a reflection of how men tend to have the most well-developed characters in shows and we go with them so we have less to do, or if it's just that we're conditioned to telling stories from a male perspective.

They are randomly thrown into relationships, or dates, that's for sure. The show will sometimes have a great story line, action, drama...wait: David or Colby had a date and are now rolling into work wrinkled and/or extra tired. lol
