Scrapbooking, lol! The cruise ship events are hysterical. And Cabo San Awesome was perfect for Sam.

I really felt for Laura visiting the memorial of her family, and I love this observation of hers: It's got to feel very freeing:

Bill knew nothing of this. He just saw her, tasted the liquor on her tongue, and that was normal to him. Her normal.

Oh, and everything is better if Ellen does it ;).

[wishflsinfl]

The idea of Laura and Gaius teaching a scrapbooking class is so ridiculous. I can't even.

Thank you for pulling out all of the little bits that are working for you. It's great to see what's jumping out and grabbing readers.

[icedteainthebag]

If only the real Galactica were as fun as this cruise! Oh man. ;D

Glad that line worked for you. It was tough to try and infuse this crackfest with real struggles about alcoholism and other things. I didn't want them to seem out of place.

I'm not the only one here who found the illustrious Captain Tigh way, way hot.

There's just too much to love here. The "how I met your grandma" crack, Sam's sand-filled asscrack, and the scrapbook of Option 3 win...and then the gut punches of her folks, her feelings about her drinking...then Saul with his very own way of summing up things...so good. So very, very good!

[wishflsinfl]

Your comments always leave me grinning. :D

[icedteainthebag]

So many cracks...

It is truly a magical blend of stupid and lovely. The scene at the descanto was so beautiful. wishflsinfl wrote it and it's one of my favorite parts of the story. Except I didn't know what descanto meant so I thought it was going to be a funny scene when she first told me about it.

His scrapbooking reminded me of the young boy - who doesn't want to show that he's actually really excited about the project, but wants to hide that fact from the other kids... oh. wait.

XD

That said, I KNEW angst was coming - and it keeps on hitting. And my mood is horribly swingy, so I'm swinging like a pendulum through this fic. ><"

[icedteainthebag]

I'm sorry, kind of, that we're making you swing back and forth emotionally here. We try and have some funny parts even when there are sad parts--moments of comic relief. We owe you that much! Glad you're still enjoying it :)

[wishflsinfl]

Oh yes, you nailed it about the scrapbooking scene.:D

This fic has a lot of ups and downs, which seem to be more extreme when you read straight through. It's been wild to read all of your comments in a row like this.

[whatever_lj]

And I always scoff at scrapbookers.... Never again.

[wishflsinfl]

If Bill and Ellen do it, it's hard not to see the appeal.

[icedteainthebag]

Try it with the hubby. Might spark something.

[marzipanilla]

All the chapters are up but I will comment on each and continue to ridiculously speculate about the future!~ and random things..

Well, it wasn't All Along the Watchtower but at least they actually sang the damn thing instead of half-drunk muttered it in a hallway. Go possible cylon people?

Laura and Bill's complete inability to stay on one wavelength is great.

[icedteainthebag]

EVERYBODY IS SO FRAKKED UP. But at least they knew the words to the song and were pretty good musicians.

[wishflsinfl]

continue to ridiculously speculate about the future!

This makes me so happy. <3
