Okay, so I read all of this. I've never seen the walking dead, and I don't know any of the characters, but I was happy that you were writing again, so I thought I'd see what it was about. Suddenly, I was surprised I was at the end. Even without knowing the characters, I enjoyed this immensely. You did a great job!
Oh geez, you are all ten thousand shades of adorable to read this at ALL, seriously. I know you don't watch, so wow, thank you! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the story and that I somehow managed to pull off making the characters interesting enough to keep you going. I appreciate the comment so much:-)
And yeah, it felt good to be writing again, even if I feel way rusty. I'm still on the fence about the bb, although the 24 announcement makes me kind of want to create another epic AU before they come along with new canon and joss absolutely everything, oy.
I could see the characters so clearly in my mind (though they probably didn't look like they did in the show), and one of my favorite pairings includes one of them being the silent gruff type. (It's right up there with the arguing while hiding their feelings. :) ) I was hooked almost right from the first or second paragraph.
I think you should go for it (as you knew I would). I mean, what's the worse that could happen, you wouldn't finish in time? If you're doing the little bang, no one's depending on you but you.
Yeah, the one good thing about my bb situation is that I have art if I want it because of my awesometastic friend dealan311, who's responsible for my entire LJ layout, including the banner I got for the bb I did write. And I adore the au prompt she gave me. Probably you're right that I should just sign up and see what happens.
Wow, it makes me smile so much that you could see the story in your mind. Daryl was my favorite long before I ever turned the show on, because I fell in love with Norman Reedus just looking at .gifs of him on tumblr, but the show only made me a thousand times more in love with him. It's kinda hilarious, because really he is NOT my type at all. But apparently he is now, hee.
You haven't really gotten to the part where Carol is the Carol I now love. On the rewatch it's SO much harder to take what happens with Sophia, because Carol is sort of such a mouse who's been so abused and ugh, I could go on and on with ten million spoilers. Basically, I think nobody should ever watch this show ever, and I'm pretty confident that I said that since the beginning, ARGH. And yes, Rick shoots Sophia while Daryl holds back a screaming Carol. It's way fun times. I'll be super curious to see if you ship Carol and Daryl at all as time goes on. It's sort of very weird and ambiguous, even though I ship it like woah

Well hey, I enjoyed this pretty a lot! How he looks for her first thing when he rides into camp; her guessing about his slammed shut, padlocked door to the past; the bright orange shirt and the snickers bar; and that line about how him smelling of good beer, tobacco, and the comfort of feeling safe, dude. That was super great!
Aw, you read it! That is way sweet; I know it's not your fandom even a little. (Seriously it should never be anybody's fandom. Zero out of ten stars. Do not recommend.) Thanks so much for telling me the parts that you liked:) I swear it is a true story that if there were a zombie apocalypse, I would absolutely want to be Daryl Dixon's girlfriend, not only because he's hot as hell, but also because he never seems to miss when he shoots at zombies. It's very mysterious;)
So I swear there's a real review coming for this when Im less like... lalalalalala. But for now I will just say that I love this fic to pieces. The voices are INCREDIBLY accurate, the language and phraseology is absolutely delicious to read, and you managed to build up a little story with small fragments of various interactions.
DUDE, you already wrote like comments as long as the story in the gdoc. Seriously, you don't need to say more. I never would have even put this up were it not for you! But it makes me so smiley that you can hear their voices and stuff, given that you're the person who talked me through the first run and helped me get over my fear of squishy zombies.
Well. I am just SAYING. That you don't need to do say more stuff.
Wow, I didn't realize how much my brain is sort of breaking about the new 24 season. I mean, it comes in waves or something. It's just . . . Renee's been part of my entire 24 experience. She was there when I started (more or less) and then even on rewatch it was always like . . . well Jack's just waiting for you, bb! UGH, SOMETIMES I REALLY HATE THAT EVEN FICTIONAL LIFE HAS TO BE LIKE THIS. Okay sorry. /emo. Oh, except for this, because reasons:

You do great Daryl. And Carol. For some reason, the "She's tired and I ain't" was the line that really made me believe him.
I can see her killing the snake. I'm glad they ate it, because, poor snake. And the secret birthday party! Yes.
But - OMG, Rick has to shoot Sophia? *Sobs*
Man, THIS SHOW. Why am I even watching it? I should be catching up on Arrested Development before the new eps air.
Ahahaha, 12. Yes. Oh, my.
