[bsg fic] Elect

Dec 30, 2005 09:41

So! This is the fic that ate my brain - the Muse has not allowed me to work on anything else for the last two months. I wanted to write something short, snarky and bantery; instead, this came out dark and angsty and talkier than a Rohmer film. It's still a little rough but I wanted to get it out before the end of the year - call it my own fic ( Read more... )

That was just great, and very true to the characters. :)

thank you so much! I really wanted their voices to ring true.

Oooo, that was a lot of fun -- you drew out your futurefic with great grounding in the material and lovely characterizations!

indigo419 December 30 2005, 18:35:27 UTC

oh, thank you! Had lots of long, entertaining discussions about the logistics and plausibility of the partition scenario. The characterization was a bit more of a bear to write, especially Kara's voice. glad you enjoyed!

Awe I really liked this one. Thanks.

I like how well you've preserved the character interaction while still allowing them their happy ending. I love the way you allow Starbuck to show that she cares and wants things done right without making her typically girly at all.

oh, I'm glad it worked for you! I wanted to see if there was a way to have a wedding scene that wasn't sappy. I mean, Kara was engaged to Zak before, after all - surely there's still some part of her that believes in love and marriage.

This was surprisingly beautiful; the tug-of-war between feelings and duty and the fight to make Starbuck understand was deliciously played.

Extremely well done - and sweet, despite the angst. I've really enjoyed this one! Thank you!

thrilled you like it, because I love your fic so!

It was an interesting journey inside Lee's head, for me - to the casual observer I think the choice would have seemed obvious, but Lee being Lee he had to do a lot of thinking before making his decision. And it doesn't help that the two people he love can't understand his dilemma; I have a (faintly ridiculous) picture in my head of fish watching a drowning man, and wondering why he struggles.
