I have SO MUCH love for that icon.

Aw, thank you. :)

And, heh, this reminds me of my glory HP fanfic writing days, where I could be writing anything -- seriously, anything -- and somehow at least a dash of Ron/Hermione would inevitably make its way in. Darn those irresistible bickery OTPs!

This is really nice - I can completely believe that getting into Angela's head is intimidating, but you did a great job of it here - it's the perfect mix of scarily observant Angela and irrationally judgmental Angela. There's so much that she picks up on, but at the same time, sometimes (Oscar shows an admirable restraint on the outside, but Angela knows better than to think that displays any actual strength of character. They’re all the same; some are just better at hiding it than others.) she's really just seeing what she wants - because on some level, she really does want them all to be despicable.

Thank you very much! :) It's nice to hear that this was fitting of her character. Writing her is an interesting experience, because she's just so frigid and judgmental and set in her ways.

Thanks again! This was lovely feedback.

This is INSANELY good. Angela is definitely not my favorite character, but this was really insightful, and totally true to form.

My favorite line, I think definitely had to be this:

(At least the snow has an excuse. It doesn’t know any better.)

Great job!

Hee, I really, really love Angela. I know that she's awful, but I can sort of identify with all the frigidity and such.

Wow. Angela just came alive on paper (so to speak). Very, very impressive. Like, scary impressive.

...are you Angela? ;)

Haha! I wasn't the last time I checked, but sometimes I remind myself eerily of her. (If one chooses to disregard my pesky cat allergy, my slight tendency to never go to church, and the fact that I just don't think I would be remotely capable of withstanding the sexiness that is Dwight.)

Thanks for reading! :)
