It's sweet to see Fiorenza and Don Candido getting along.

Yay! ysabetwordsmith July 12 2012, 06:18:37 UTC

I'm glad you liked it. They both have prickles, but they're good people.

That was part of the original prompt for Don Candido from marina_bonomi. She wanted someone with a different area of authority who could butt heads with Fiorenza, yet still respect each other in some ways, and be friends even though they're both kind of exasperating at times.

I love character dynamics like that. I love my audience. People give me such awesome ideas.

Awesome!

This one didn't make it to me through back-channels, so I read it for the first time. I am very glad to see the return of the griffins, and to see Fiorenza and Don Candido working together.

Thank you! ysabetwordsmith July 27 2012, 01:27:29 UTC

I'm glad you like it. Fiorenza and Don Candido are fun, whether they're butting heads or cooperating.
