I've just read "Finally she winked one eye at the hare and reminded it, sotto voce, "This is the part where you run away in an auspicious direction, and sow confusion among our enemies--now, shoo!" and I'm totally and officially and auspiciously hooked.

I have to give adabsolutely total credit for this story being finished--she was supportive to the point of sainthood during the last week when I was running up to the deadline, and kept me on an even keel as well as on task when things looked dicey. Her patience is remarkable (especially since she is fully aware of my tendency to write myself into a seventh dimensional corner!)

not to mention ""They just don't make minions like they used to, do they? No initiative, pitiful work ethic, tiny pain threshold."

snerk.

Loved, ""Good point," Methos gave up in the face of superior logic and strategy, resigned to a short and happy stint as MacLeod's mattress. He'd had worse careers in his checkered past. Much worse."

and "The mad peacock would have breathed ammonia if he could have convinced a space traveler to take him to Venus, just to see the sights. He was strange, that way. It saddened her that he didn't get the chance."

and ""Interesting. It's like English, only nearly devoid of any truly meaningful verbs or nouns. You know?" He tapped the phone again, fascinated. "I think we may be listening to the invention of an entirely new form of communication."

Oh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I go on to part two. What on earth have I done to deserve such wonderful stories two years in a row?

I'm really glad you liked it!!! I had fun going into the zone to follow the plot through the rabbit warren. And you did ask for plot *ggg*. It really was supposed to be a nice, straightforward little story--Joe goes fishing, gets snagged, Duncan and Methos help out, with a little rambunctiousness on the side. Then Ceirdwyn showed up and started talking and I started growing subplots like a Chia Pet.
