I loved it.

This line:

there is a woman on his ship whose skin he can taste in his dreams.

broke my heart.

I can't wait to read more fic from you!

Thanks! It's always a trip to post one's first fic in a fandom.

BTW, I know you ship Max/Liz but what are your feelings on Zan? I don't know how far you've gotten in your explorations of Rosfic but there is a whole subset of Zan fics that are often quite interesting considering that he's kind of an open slate having only been on air for about 30 seconds.

Who have you been reading for Roswell fic?

Haven't really read much Zan fic because I know so little about him. I am absically a M&M and M/L girl :)

Well, to be really lazy, I'm just going to link you to someone else's Dreamer recs that are good ( ... )

Damn. Wonderful.

Thank you!

Off to bed, caught some wireless signal of a neighbor, read this, and say "Sigh." So glad I could play hookey and see this movie. Wonderful capture of the end moment between these two.

Thanks, sweetie! Sweet dreams.

Oh, wow. Really, really wow. You've got Mal down so perfectly here: Because he is a “hero” without enough words or the right words . That's Mal in a nutshell, really.

Great work!

(And posting when I've had no sleep apparently means I use the word "really" alot. Heh.)

femmenerd October 4 2005, 07:08:46 UTC

Hee. Thank you! It's definitely interesting wrapping my brain around "Mal voice" considering I usually write such "talky" men (er, Spike, anyone?).

Gah! I really am turning into such the shipper whore.

That's lovely :) Come on over and post it at mal_inara :) I think folks over there'd appreciate it! Well done. Elegant, tight and v. in character :)

femmenerd October 4 2005, 07:09:23 UTC

Thank you!

And I did! I did!
