Oh, man, I'd forgotten how much I love this story! And your commentary is delightful.

Thank you! Of course, having posted the commentary I've now thought of the key thing to say, which is what a horrific situation it'd be, what an angsty fic, if the narrator was John who's been pried apart: since it's Rodney's POV, he honestly doesn't have a problem with the sex-for-tech transaction.

I love your commentary on this, lots of good insights.

I confess that when I read this story the first time, I hadn't been on LJ for very long, so the fangirlish characteristicts of LiJa and her friends sailed over my head. Thanks for putting in the work, it was a fun read with you commentary.

I don't think Res made them fangirls deliberately -- see here. But oooh, they are!

Great commentary. You've pulled up lots of interesting thoughts. This is such a fantastic story, and it was so much fun to read along with you. Thanks for doing this.

Your DVD commentary is every bit as delicious as your fic, and brought my attention to several elements and implications I hadn't thought about before. Thanks!
