Sansets' Women Appreciation Day 6 Challenge

[vsee]

Yes, I do know I am really, really late with this. My plans for the afternoon were canceled, so I am going to hash this out while I still have time.

sansets asked for a response to a female character you've disliked, to find redeeming qualities in them.

Eeeeeee! This is fantastic. I am obsessed with LG at the minute, for obvious reasons, and you have loads of really insightful observations. I've always loved Jill. I think it's because her flirtation with Fraser isn't a means to an end, a way to get her claws into him; she just enjoys a little harmless flirting. And unlike Thatcher of Frannie, she doesn't sacrifice her dignity in order to fawn over him. She's proof that you can like someone without behaving like a lovesick schoolgirl, an idea that's sadly lacking in the other women of dS.

I'd thought a bit about the substitute buddy thing, because Fraser always needs someone else to prod him through the emotional minefields, and this time Ray can't do it. You laid it out beautifully; the way she breaks through his reserve and won't take any nonsense, is firm and practical with him as well as being sympathetic.

I ♥ Martha Fraser too; that little glimpse of her is the only one we get in canon, but I think it encourages some of the more lenient interpretations of her character, because she so clearly still loves and cares for him, even after death. It's an interesting question about why she's there, though - does she have unfinished business, like Bob?

So yeah, fantastic take on LG, and much food for thought. Thank you!

*twirls you* I am almost afraid to say much about what I think about LG in front of you right now. I want to keep you undistracted and on course with your story. I am glad you liked it.
