I haven't written in a long time. I'm more surprised than anything. But just so you know - am rusty. And trust me, I did not go "Oh yay, a movie that was ostensibly made for boys to look at girls in bikinis and the odd surf shot! I shall write fic!" Twas a bunny borne of living on the Northern Beaches for 18 years and having a thing for Michelle

This is really good. Seriously. I only *wish* I could write fics based on movies this well...

[greenovalfruit]

Oh! Thank you! That's such a sweet thing to say, thank you. I needed a confidence boost ;)

[hevvajames]

Oh. Michelle Rodriguez. All wet. Oi vey.

I like it. It's sweet.

[greenovalfruit]

Lol... aaaaaall wet. Seriously, I could just cover my walls with pictures of Michelle all wet. But I'm lazy with print outs (thank got for Lost promo shots, though!)

Thank you!

I haven't watched this movie in forever, but I really liked this fic! It was very well written.

[greenovalfruit]

Thank you!

And omg, Elizabeth Mitchell? Juliet/Ana was a pairing I always lusted after. Damn Michelle - could she not NOT drink for a couple of months, stay on the show? Then maybe Juliet/Ana-Lucia. Om.

This is absolutely lovely! I am a huge fan of Eden/Anne Marie, and so few people write it, I was excited just to see a new story, and that the imagery in this one was gorgeous.

I particularly like this bit:

Eden's hair is slicked back against her skull until it fans out above her shoulders in the water. She has a look on her face like a mermaid, asking for a fisherman's love before diving below to meet the other nymphs and sylphs who miss her presence. She has a look of fear and love and chance. Her dark eyes plead with Anne Marie in only a way the other surfer could recognise. They've known each other so long.

Amazing.

Thank you for writing this story!

Oh thank you so much for that comment! Really made me feel validated. I wasn't sure about the section you mentioned, I worry about getting off track and slipping into blather when I'm trying to express. But that made me feel much better, thank you.

Eden/Anne Marie was just painfully obvious in that movie. I mean, I fully admit to slashing Michelle with the closest appropriate female in all her movies (I liked Anne Marie better for it because of their obvious connection but I would have chosen her over Lena anyway) but they had something. I'm not sure if that was just how it tiurned out, how it was planned or if Michelle had a thing for Kate Bosworth and didn't get to express it as much as she did with Kristanna :P

[escritoireazul]

Yeah, Michelle's characters often have slashy relationships with other female characters. In fact, I think the one which is least overtly slashy is the one I like to write most (Letty/Mia from Fast and the Furious), but I think that's only because the two women don't have a lot of screen time, not like the guys.

I rly need to see that movie. Esp. since Vin Diesel. Omnomnomnom. Michelle and Vin would be hot. But not as hot as Christina and Vin (mmm Riddick)

[nikitangel]

(here via escritoireazul) I really like how this fic focused on sensations - sight, taste, touch, etc. It brings it alive and the reader into the moment.

[greenovalfruit]

Oh! I didn't know she did that! Cool.

Thank you for that feedback. Not only is it nice (score) but I can actually use it for something. Like I said, I haven't written in a while (pretty much just over a year now - ew!) and I need to get back into what works and not what doesn't. You know.

Anyway, thanks!
