Disclaimer: Recognizable Characters from the Big Bang Theory aren’t mine, just borrowing them for a little while, I’ll put them back, honest!

I tried something very different.  This is a future fic in the form of a book review of Sheldon and Penny's

This is nice. I really liked the book review format too.

HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER. THIS WAS SWEET AND 3-DIMENSIONAL AND THE ENDING WAS THE BEAUTIFUL SAD NOTE THAT FLAVORS EVERY LIFE STORY.

I get the feeling that you read a lot of books and seriously enjoy them.

This fic got to me in sooooo many ways. I love the political undertones [and if you ever want a rigorous chat about politics I'm always up for one], the in-depth book review format, the slightly dispassionate but really moving narration, the future children, the whole PBG angle, how Sheldon ended up working with Leslie....

ALL OF IT!! I LOVE IT LIKE I LOVE OXYGEN!

I sincerely hope you keep writing fantastic fics like this and continue sharing them with us, because I just love this to death.

KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

AND OMG THERE IS A PRICE ON THE BOOK AND YOU FACTORED IN INFLATION! MF-ING INFLATION!! *DIES*

so tell me, how do you really feel? I am glad you liked it, I wish I could take complete credit, but for the heading I just found an online book review and copied the format. I was trying to figure out how to make this a big story.

This story was a way to make the point that Penny and Sheldon are better together... that in the way the writers may not have imagined, these characters as fleshed out by Kaley and Jim, are only limited by thier own fears.

It was your awesome idea to apply the format so brilliantly! ^_^

This really makes that point very well. I was talking to fujiidom about this and she said: "I want to make a banner and have all the L/P people read this and convert them all and take over the world." I totally agree with her! It illustrates the reasons that they would be so wonderful together excellently.

Thanks, it came to me last night and got fleshed out this morning, I didn't have to report to work till late... Instead of getting my weekly Sunday chores done, I wrote...

Aww. This was seriously, really good. I smiled and even laughed out loud while reading it. (“I apologize, I was rude, I am very proud of you” and he meant it.) The political implications were very interesting. A very original idea or a future fic, and I enjoyed it immensely. :)

Without going too deep into the politics, as it is out of place here, I'm an amateur political junkie. Since they have established with the Hillary 2008 T-shirt that Penny is most likely a Democrat, that made choosing her party easy.

Then I tied in a little real life inspiration from the late Sonny Bono, former singer who as a restaurant owner in Palm Springs, CA got upset with the city government and ran for Mayor and won. He then ran for Congress.

I thought it was particularly shocking that I actually knew who Bobby Jindal was, because politics is not one of my interests. Prolly the only reason I know him is because I saw in the news about him being the first Asian-American governor elected to Louisiana. That could so be a Jeopardy question.

This was FANTASTIC. Such a wonderful reinvention of such a simple thing. IF THIS ISN'T HOW EVERYTHING ENDS UP HAPPENING I WANT MY MONEY BACK! ..Or something! Truly beautiful.

The pre-Penny Sheldon Cooper, he argues, was an acerbic and difficult colleague often at odds with the University over trivia, his brilliance overshadowed by his temperament.

This is exactly why they're the truly perfect love story. Aces. ♥

I agree, it is very easy for me to see them grow old together... the specifics are unimportant...
