Wow, that has to be up there with one of the nicest things anyone's ever said about my writing ever. (I got a Holy shit dude!! *glows*) I'm so excited that you thought it felt real to the movie. And I had great fun with the Aussie vernacular - why don't I have more Australian fandoms??

PS - I see your story but I have to work - tonight tonight!

Aussie fandoms, why so crap? I don't think I've followed an Aussie tv serial since... um, probably Seachange. OMG SEACHAGE FIC, MUST FIND SOME IMMEDIATELY. *dashes off*
