Oh please please please write more of this. There has been Ray!torture before, but most of it was unawesome. After Pencils and all that, I TRUST YOU TO DO THIS. And this is brilliant.
I will juggle, make lemon cake, act out scenes from Hamlet, wear a funny hat and dance about in my underpants for you if you continue this. <33333!
I was reading my mom's friend's list because I was bored and I know she reads good authors (my mom is julia_here) and I noticed this because it is Due South fic. At first I skipped over it because "torture" is not the sort of thing that I automatically associate with a good read.
But then I went back and clicked on the link and OH I AM GLAD I DID.
Everyone is perfectly written. I haven't watched an episode of Due South in about three weeks and I have trouble hearing character voices in my head without a lot of effort normally, but I could hear everyone in this story- even Dief's little whines that you didn't explicitly write.
It's not just canon characters that it worked with: the scrap-metal thief and the medical staff had distinct voices too.
What I'm saying is, you're awesome, and once I finish this comment I'm going to click on the due south tag and see if there's more to read.
My first reaction was: eeee! Where's the rest of it? ::searches for invisible "Part 2" link:: ::lifts up story to look underneath:: ::looks behind monitor::
.....::pants frantically::
and then I read the tag & followed the tag back to see that these are all WIP fragments. I guess you wanna know if you should finish this?
YES, PLEASE!!!!
You haven't given Dief his gloating time. He definitely deserves his gloating time....
I love your DS character voices. The characters sound and feel genuinely like themselves, from Ray and Fraser to Frannie and Dewey. The plot and flow of the story are very compelling, and the hurt/comfort aspects of the story are very well done.
I don't know whether I should beg harder for you to finish this story or your time travel DS story.... ah, choices!
Thanks for letting us have a taste....as Dief would say, a lick of frosting is not as good as the whole doughnut, but it's definitely much better than nothing....
Yes, sorry, "Is this anything?" is an occasional feature where I post something unfinished to find out if people like it. I just posted about a half-dozen of them, and people want to see more of everything. Gratifying, but doesn't give me any help in terms of figuring out which one to work on!
I feel like cursing you out. But I'll contain myself and simply say: how DARE you post a (long) unfinished story without labeling it clearly as a WIP?! YOU know what "Is This Anything?" means, but you can't possibly think someone just looking for good Fraser/RayK fics to read will know that. How could we? How could I?
RUDE RUDE RUDE. Thoughtless, inconsiderate, and unfair! Warn people.
Oh, and just to be clear, I liked the story, what there was of it, but I am definitely not liking you at this point.
is this something? Yes, yes it really is. More, please. Pretty please? I think if I had to pick, I'd probably rather read a 'McKay whumping' than a 'Ray Torture' fic, but that's before I read this, and now I need to know what the hell's going on. Your DS voices are always perfect, and this has me intrigued.

You mean which one to work on first! ;-)
I take it they all appeal to you equally, and you don't have a favorite calling its siren song to you?
In that case, my advice is to work first on the one that seems like it'll be easiest to finish, so that you can stick it in the "done" box....
(at least you know whichever one you choose will be well-received!)
