how sad if the show is what's turning people off bigbang. i don't even watch it any more! and i didn't think you did either! and we're still, er, banging.... *sigh* jeremy carver has a lot to answer for, if so.
also, this is the loveliest, most thorough comment. (altho it took me a minute to remember when i wrote about someone's food fighting back.... and it wasn't even that long ago. >.< ) i already knew you appreciated the historical settings and all the research *sympathetic fist-bump of research* and the hedgehog jokes are ALL YOUR FAULT. and i've had this window open for HOURS because i don't know how else to respond. except oh thank god not all of my characters come across the same way, because seriously, i worry that i'm just writing the same couple of people over and over, just with different names. (and also, i loved ( ... )

Your food fights back probably without you even noticing. It probably has its own underground Food Resistance Group, where it probably wears berets and smokes a lot and fiddles with homemade radios. I bet it fights back in your BB too! (Which I started reading today \o/ and it's fabulous but no one has been food-attacked yet.) Also, I'm gonna ask Dad for more untranslatable hedgehog jokes to traumatize you with :D And you definitely don't write the same characters over and over again, nope :D And I love Aimee Godwin Rainaut from that short story, just saying, she's one of those characters that grabs you and doesn't let you go and somehow gets under your skin, even though all she did was write a letter.

thanks in advance for the untranslatable hedgehog jokes. this means i now have to find a place for them in next year's bigbang. >.<
i'm now picturing my eggs and cheese and spaghetti having secret food resistance group meetings in the middle of the night. (sadly the spaghetti sauce hasn't been seen in a couple years, but they could really use its help.) there's no resisting food in the parisbang, mostly because there are almost no scenes involving actual eating. which, considering the story is set in PARIS, is kind of an oversight. there's some well-behaved pastry, tho.
aimee as a nine-year-old was in my 2011 nanonovel, and she also made an appearance as an adult living in occupied france, when she tells a couple of german soldiers to get the hell off her property. (they do. she has a hunting rifle and she's not afraid to use it.)

Oh the spaghetti sauce - IT WAS EATEN /o\ Cheese, eggs and spaghetti all secretly know it. The Parisbang might be set in Paris but it also involves a couple of starving artists, so small wonder there. I'm happy to hear they somebody encounters a well-behaved pastry. They can be particularly vicious.
Just read that one, and it was awesome and I was glad to read more about Aimee. A well-dressed beautiful woman with a rifle, heh, that's a pretty fantastic insight. And I like Aimee a lot. I think I didn't mean to read that LJ idol entry, was in a hurry or something, but I read the first few lines and ended up finishing it, then wandered away and as it turns out, Aimee really did get my attention. She certainly was memorable, in a subtle way that creeps up on you.

She totally is superstitious, on some level, even if she doesn't admit it :D She talks about her home being gone, and about crossing bodies of water. I like that weird superstition in her and the fact that she won't admit to it, and I also really like that she's privileged and doesn't really know it but that you know it. See what I mean about you writing cool characters that are all diverse and not just cute? ("Just cute" are Jared's cells. But being cells, they are forgiven.)
