Wow.
This was so worth the angst-filled wait. All the excerpts from his draft, their respective p.o.v's about their conflict....just incredible.
Carolanne showing up gave me brief flashbacks to AV, but no matter; this chap is ridic in its own right. My shippy heart has melted in the rain right along soggy sexy Bill.

I know! I'd planned for Carolanne to come by and be bitchy and it sort of morphed into a bigger scene. I guess she's in my head, like she was in Bill's!

My shippy heart has melted in the rain right along soggy sexy Bill.

That's the idea. :D He's a sly one, our sad dog man!

It has occurred to me before but I've forgotten to mention: I have loved every reference to Bill being dog-like. Especially when you called his penis a warm puppy. That was awesome. But "doggedly-following"!Bill, hound dog Bill, etc. & etc., all so great.

It was really nice to read parts of Bill's book :) (nagging seems to work after all :P)

Feeling as though she had no self control at all, Laura read it before attending Mass.

Before leaving her apartment that evening, she checked her tablet, but there wasn't a chapter. She craved more and felt irrationally piqued.

OMG, you capture the feelings of a fic reader so perfectly! LOL! Reading just before going out and craving more are feelings I experience almost every day and I saw it all through Laura's eyes in this chapter :D Well done!

Aaaaaand an ending that makes me scream YESSSSSSSSSS :D

Eagerly awaiting the next one! :D :D :D

The funny part was, I felt sort of invasive writing it, as though I was putting up someone else's book. Then I'm like, er, getting a bit over-involved, bugs?

Aaaaaand an ending that makes me scream YESSSSSSSSSS :D

I considered leaving poor Laura in the rain as the ending, but even I couldn't be that cruel. :D

Can I get the next chapter as a birthday gift? *puppy eyes* Or maybe some AV? Today (the 13th) is my bday :)

Hah, that's what you get for not getting a LJ so we get the alert!

I hope to post soon. This chapter got away from me so I had to cut it into two parts, which means the next chapter is well started.

Heh. I like his e-mail address xD

It took me a moment to realize there wasn't a reason for Carolanne not to be alive in this universe. I found her just brushing her way into his home really irritating, and she came to talk about Lee.. Mama's boy.

Woo! Laura! Get him out of those wet clothes.

Oh, and the image of the baby being blessed that.. that made me pause a mo'.

Just so long as no one tries to write him there!

I had to think about it too--would she be dead?

Lee's a total Mamma's boy and of course she'd come to fight his battles. pfft!

Oh, and the image of the baby being blessed that.. that made me pause a mo'.

Lots of depressing bits in the chapter. Had to give you all some hope there with Bill needing to be warmed up!

I started reading this story in september and since them these are my mornings (time difference): I wake up, take a shower, and meanwhile the kids are eating breakfast and i getting ready for work... let´s see if there is a new chapter from that totally FANTASTIC Bug´s story, OH! ANOTHER!GREAT!!! (or maybe nooo still nothing, sad sad face)
I love "Turn the Page" I really do. I don´t wait so eager for a new chapter since...OH since Stars in their Courses I guess. Laura´s character is one of the BEST things you wrote EVER and how you use and write LOVE AND BULLETS... you´re so good and I´m a Bug´s FAN now,so PLEASE, PLEASE keep writing, PLEASE

I feel your pain! I'm bummed when I don't get a chapter done too! :D

I'm glad to hear Laura is working for you. It's quite a bit different than the person Laura morphed into very quickly in the series, so I suppose it's sort of a pre-mini, and can seem a bit unfamiliar. Hopefully she'll get into Airlock Laura soon! :D

I love this Laura. So very very much! I think this may be my favourite chapter so far! (Considering the hotness of a certain MA rated chapter that's saying something!)

I was so happy that Laura wasn't dismissing Bill and running off to date another Cylon model! And the extracts from the book! God damn I wanna read the whole book!

*happy sigh*

I love this story. I want to see Mary and Eddie playing these characters.

Hah, a standard I have to keep trying to reach! I see your tactic here!

Great, another call to write the whole second book! In my spare time! But yes, she's done with running through the Cylon lineup.

I want to see Mary and Eddie playing these characters.

Oh, I'd love to see them work together again, even if it was just a community theater reading of Love Letters.
