Wednesday Night-Time Limit

“The time period is ridiculously short, Sam! No assistance for more than five years? Even if it’s nonconsecutive?”

“That’s the only way we could get any Republicans to sign on.”

“Well how much good did that do you?”

Sam smiled and she continued. “We’re talking about an extremely serious life change. You’re not ( Read more... )

Wow! I am SO glad you enjoyed this! It was one of those things that seemed to work in my head, but I wasn't sure how it translated into writing, so I'm really pleased to hear it worked for you. I'm particularly glad you enjoyed the flashbacks and I love that the symbolism and parallels came through. It's always so tough to tell if things like that are going to work.

The time you took setting up the dynamics and the relationship and its complications--good! Because the other way to look at that is that it was just incredibly long and convoluted. I like your interpretation better though :)

The closeness between Andy and Sam: Andy was the first person Sam told when he and Lisa broke up. She just put her arms around him and let him sit silently. The next morning Sam somehow knew he would be okay. YES.--YAY! I really found myself loving their relationship as I was writing it and wishing I could spend even more time fleshing it out.

Andy as Cassandra. As a classics geek, that makes me ohso happy. (Plus, with the hair? I can absolutely make that image work. 'Tis lovely.) Oh I love you for loving this! Classics geeks are hot. ;)

That, and this is where I'm a terrible person, the T/S wins out. Partners, baby.--Are you kidding!? This does not make you a horrible person! They just work so well together, and the only horrible part is that Andy had to be the one to point it out. But I felt like Sam would need that, like he would want her permission. Poor woman, though, I found myself feeling like Andy got put through the ringer a little bit.

YAY! I'm so giddy! I'm just glowing! I'm so flattered when you compliment anything I write--you're kind of my idol. :)
