Well, that sucks
CBS went and pulled and axed CHAOS which, doesn't surprise me, but still makes me sad. I am hoping we'll be able to view the rest of the episodes shot either on cbs.com or they will release a dvd set. I bought all the episdoes that aired off amazon so I have that. I kind of went into the show knowing CBS wasn't behind it. No press, little

Seriously, we need, like, a Team Leckie fic-a-thon one of these days.

AND NO, THAT'S COO'. I totally know what it's like, you start writing anything involving those for and the next thing you know, you've cracked a million words because the banter won't stop. What's your word count at anyway? It's a million, isn't it?
“Let us hope your name proves fortuitous,” Lucky said.
“What, do you have a word a day calendar?” Runner asked.
“I am one of the unwashed masses who spends his years at college earning a degree that will allow me to ask, with all the sincerity in my heart, ‘would you like fries with that?’”
THIS IS PERFECTION.
I laughed out loud at Leckie. And I do like how you handled Runner's name business 8D. Was there a reaction scene the moment they learn his name? Or is that to be in ficlet world?

Also, there was in fact a small scene I have not finsihed yet in which Hoosier discusses Runner's real name. Let me share that with you:
“Who names their kid Bud?” The Hoosier asked.
“They didn’t. They named me Wilbur. Bud is a nickname. Most people call me Runner.”
“Wilbur?”
“Yes.”
“Wilbur," Hoosier repeated.
“Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Runner asked.
The Hoosier smiled. “Willlburrr,” he said like the damn animals in Charlotte’s Web.
“Okay, you know what, you get to do that twice a year and once on Christmas, that’s it.”
“Touchy are you?”
“Do you want me to start singing The Ballad of Billy the Kid because I will.”
“Well, shit, Runner, good to see you got a spine to back up that mouth of yours.”
“You can kiss my ass.”
“I don’t think I can bend down that far.”

sgjksgjk I can see this scene perfectly.
And, LOL SHAN. WE NEED TO STOP SHARING BRAINS OK. I did borrow Leckie's tendency to 'the' nicknames (what do we call that even? Itemising? Idek), but applied it to this TBD fic that had too many TP references for the small amount of words it actually was. GIVE ME A MINUTE AND I'LL SHOW YOU

Hoosier is fast becoming my favorite character for deadpan sarcasm to write.
OUR BRAINSHARING IS AWESOME. Also, I don't know what we call, other than a Leckieism? AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT little bit, which my e-mail just told me you posted so I'm going to go read that now.

YES, THIS! All of them are so different in their approach, I have way too much fun trying my hand at any of their POVs.

“Shit- delivery guy- Sam- was it?” The Runner said, hands wrapped tight about Samson’s upper arms.
His words were hard to comprehend over his breathing, his sentence coming out in bits and pieces that Samson had to string together in his head. The Runner glanced back, leaving Samson to stare at the bare arch of his neck and the tendon that ran up the length of it.
“I gotta go,” he said as he released him and slipped past.
Samson turned his head, watching as The Runner half-ran, half-stumbled before he turned, still in motion, and called out-
“Hey! Pretty lucky though. With the face,” The Runner drew a circle in the air with a finger then flashed him a grin before disappearing around the next bend.

And Joey's does talk too much far too much, but what gets me here, is that Samson is still listening.

LOL SO TRUE;;
sjdfk Ugh, what I really want to get to is where Jenny discovers that Joey is friendly with him, or like, Tommy even. And then Joey getting the whole story from Samson and his reaction.
