Ooooooh! Good start. Awesome start! Now it just needs about 10 more chapters! Maybe eleven! Off you pop!

More? Really? Can't this be it? *whine*

Ha ha ha! No.

I love that this actually went somewhere from that email you sent me ages ago.

HORRAY!

[invida]

Actually, except for a few wording tweaks, it's exactly what I sent you.

And I liked it then and I still like it now! :D

[invida]

*smooches*

Now tell me what to do with it!

Yay! This is off to a great start. (Lucky birthday girl, that Amanda.) Love the one-upsman-shipping between V and Sherlock. Let me know if you need beta on future chapters :)

Let me know if you need beta on future chapters

Absolutely! tell me what to do next!

I just discovered this and LOVE it. I can't wait to go read part 2 but thought I would leave you a lovely comment on this one first!

Honestly, it's difficult finding VMars fic that adequately characterises Veronica but I think you've captured the voice of all the characters brilliantly.

Awww. Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

This is amazing! The dialogue is snappy, and the characterisation is on point and is practically faultless. And believe me, I looked. It's almost like a minor miracle to find a story this well-written with two of my favourite things mashed into one, but here we are. And I am gobsmacked.

I think you have completely nailed both sides of the crossover, and you've done a great job with setting up the backstory. Every time I had a question about how they came to be in their current situation, the answer seemed to magically manifest itself and kept sweeping me along for the ride.

It's impossible not to fangirl the writing in this, because you managed to match the feel and attitude of both series without it being clunky or choppy. Coupled with practically flawless SPaG, I conclude that this is probably the best thing that's happened to me all week. Thank you so much for writing this, and I avidly await updates!

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your very kind feedback! You've really made my day. I can only hope that the rest of the story will live up to your initial impression. Thank you again for commenting!
