I think that this AU has interesting potential ;)

I think that you have done a wonderful job with this. I really like the tone - it's very Larry. I can't wait for the rest!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it and that Larry is coming through for you!

Part 2 will be quite different....

That was just...wow! I love it! Can't wait for the next part!

*Happy dance* I'm so glad you like it!

Charlie's whispering to me now in Part 2.

Your message just popped up in my inbox again. May just be LJ catching up on message notices....

Glad you liked the story. In case you haven't found it, here's the link to Part 2.

A Twinkie Kind of Day - Part 2

*nods* Okay, I'm interested. *awaits next part*

I'm gratified that you're interested. I wondered how this would go over! Larry spoke and I wrote.

Part 2 is under construction!

The sandwich paragraph made my week, and possibly my month. Seriously, seriously brilliant. It encapsulates everything about what I love about Larry--the kinds of things that leave all stupid with love for him every week.

Larry's sandwich manifesto and his twinkie musings are--even with no sex in sight--oddly hot, and absolutely fulfilling. I want to marry him. I want to watch him eat a twinkie.

And I haven't even gotten to part 2 yet!

*Jumping up and down w. glee*

Miriam, I'm so happy that you like it! You know I wallow (like a pig) in your L/C whenever possible. The Twinkies came to me first, followed by Larry being stuck in white bread and Velveeta.

There is often fic about how Charlie needed Larry during Charlie's teenage years at CalSci, but how much did Larry need Charlie? What if Charlie wasn't there for *him*?

It's painful to see Larry so unhappy, but perhaps the Cosmos will bring resolution after all. Charlie pops up in Part 2, tipping Larry's calcified world off its axis.

It's not hard to make Larry hot, is it? Although Twinkies give it little extra kick. :)

Beta thanks! cat_willow November 26 2005, 22:04:41 UTC

I forgot to mention that I drafted my smart and adorable husband, Ted, as beta.

Ted is *totally* flummoxed by Numb3rs slash ("But they're not gay on TV! They like girls." "Oh, really, dear?"), not to mention his wife writing it ("Why do *you* want to make them gay?!"). The Don/Charlie discussion was esp. funny. ("Ewwwww! There have to be some *serious* psychological issues for people to write *that*!" "We all have our issues, dear.")

But he was a good sport and helped w. grammar to pare down the excessive adjectives. ("Wow, you sure got intimate with the Thesaurus, didn't you?" "Well, Larry does like to use a lot of big words, dear.... Hey, I really need that one!")
