To Bed

Jun 12, 2003 23:53

700-ish words. Much closer to the wire this week. I blame summer (the bastard!). Big thanks to skripka and sffan for quick beta-ing and title advice and general moral support. I'm a big dork. And they don't seem to care that much. Or they're nice about it anyway. I'm really very grateful.

( Fics with dialogue are shorter than they appear! )

Nice dialogue, hils. And even though I betaed, I still enjoyed reading it again.

Aw, thanks. You're so nice. Truly. I feel all lucky.

Oh. That was good. I liked the Zoe bit at the end. And I liked the banter. Wash cracks me up.

thewalnut June 13 2003, 09:25:18 UTC

Thanks puff! Wash cracks me up too.

Did you know that I completely associate you with Julia Stiles now?

No, I did not know that. That's funny. I was just considering an icon overhaul.

Hils! A perfect little story :) I love dialogue between the crew and this was spot on - all the interactions. Loved drunken gushy Kaylee and that last bit between Zoe and Mal was icing on this oh so tasty cake.

Thanks mays. Once I know you like it, I can breathe properly again.

Hee. This is just cute -- I love fics like this that just take a look at a snapshot of dialogue. Very nice.

thewalnut June 13 2003, 09:26:56 UTC

Thank you Jim! I'm glad you liked it...

Nice one hils. Love the image of them all sitting around drinking and just hanging out together. Loved the Wash dialogue and Mal telling Simon and Kaylee to go to bed.

Zoe's voice was great and I love the thought of her being the last one to bed.

oooh, thanks free. I was all kinds of worried about Zoe's voice and actually cut one of her lines 'cause it didn't seem like her. She chooses her words so carefully, you know?
