My attitude to Kennedy has gone through quantum shifts since she first appeared.
In one of the 'verses I write in she's only appeared in one fic, and in that 'verse she never met Willow, who died about the time of Wrecked in S6 in that one. In another she and Willow have an affair which breaks up Will and Tara; that I call the PrezKenn 'verse, as Kennedy becomes the first Lesbian to become POTUS. In another they face a challenge to their marriage from an entirely unexpected source.
There was a time when I never thought I'd ever successfully write Tara, but it was seeing different perspectives on Kennedy in fanfic that I began to see different sides to Tara.

I always appreciate respectful takes of Kennedy as much as I love Tara (it shouldn't be a contest); and the idea that exploring one character helped you write another seems magical to me.
"That was magical, baby." Kenn felt fit to burst.
You write beautiful angst but not many people can write tales that are charming, funny and sexy and you BRING IT. Rare and precious.
