Fic: “I Kissed a Girl”

[sroni]

aadler and I both entered deird1’s buffy-remix, and both found ourselves hung up. I wasn’t really satisfied with my story; he wasn’t finished with his (because it turned out to be longer than he had expected). So, being family, we did a temporary trade-off: I turned out a quick pinch-hit for his assigned author (nothorse), and he did the same for me with mine (

Here on aadler's say-so and I am glad. This feels very true to Dawn and her way of crashing about. Very fine work!

Sorry to take so long to respond! (There's a long explanation, but short version is "crap happened and I thought I responded to things that it turned out I hadn't".)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have to admit that I look for your responses to Aadler's stories and such, and I always enjoy seeing your insights.

Gosh. I am very flattered right now.

But back to this story. I just reread it and it's even better than I remembered. You have a deft, light hand with characterization. Underneath the surface, there's a lot of depth in this story. Pat yourself on the back because you've done very, very well!

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed writing the story. Aadler suggested that we do pinch-hits for each other, and I read over "Practice Makes Perfect" and the first thing that popped into my head was Dawn telling Xander she thinks she's gay and she needs to kiss him to test that theory. It was just a matter of getting them to that point.

I loved the Tara and Dawn section, and I'll admit that I took a lot of inspiration for that exchange from Aadler's story "Each Proud Division".

I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

Loved it! Wonderful Dawn voice. Well done.

Thank you very much. (Apologies for the VERY LONG DELAY. Mostly, I thought I'd responded and hadn't. Very sorry about that.)
