aw.. that was so sad. *wipes tears* Stupid JJ. Poor Em

[calleigh_j]

Thank you. And yeah: Stupid JJ. Poor Em pretty much sums it up for me!

[calleigh_j]

Thank you - sad was definitely the aim.

[calleigh_j]

Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it.

[calleigh_j]

Thanks, and the AU version is definitely a possibility.

Oooh yeah!!! I am so happy to see some CM fic from you, even angst fic (well ok, ESPECIALLY angst fic, because I love angst fic)

This is very good. I have to say that my favorite is the 3rd part. Because I can SEE Garcia. I will be honest and say that I think you write Emily better than JJ. (You know, from the whole 2 fics I've read of yours) but somehow you just "got" Emily's voice. And while this is very good, it feels like maybe you don't quite have JJ's character down. Then again, especiallys ince she went all straight on us, its been harder to nail her down.

I do think its very in character. The furtive hiding, Emily not thinking she's worthy, JJ conflicted. Its really excellent.

*bounce* yeah!! I want to see more of these two! And i swear I will get to your fic, as soon as I finish In Plain Sight season 1 because omg that show is AMAZING

I always see Garcia as being on Emily's side because no matter how much she may be JJ's best friend, she can see that JJ is clearly being a giant idiot about everything.

And I completely agree - I find it so much easier to write Emily than JJ, at least in part because, as you say, it can be pretty difficult to understand JJ's motivation. Because if she was in a relationship with Emily for parts of season three, than also being in a relationship with Will makes her not a very nice person, and seems quite OOC! Plus, I'm just more interested in Emily than JJ.

I forgive you because everyone should watch IPS before they do anything else. Mary McCormack + awesome leather jackets = my favouritest thing ever in the world.

Oh good, I do love your writing, but you asked for constructive feedback, so there it is :)

And is it sad that the only thing I find hotter than Mary in a dress is Mary in black slacks, a white wife beater, covered in sweat, blood and dirt, her hair all messy, shooting it out with the bad guys? Because yeah....*Iz ded*

[calleigh_j]

Constructive feedback is wonderful - I want it to be good, but I want to know how I can make it better too.

I know, right? I honestly cannot think of anyone who could play the part like she does.
