This was really great. :)

Barney is so awesome and I believe his story. :)

Thank you! And I believe him, too. Ted is too skeptical. =P

I really really enjoyed this. I can't wait to read the next part. :)

maggiemoore February 27 2009, 20:32:02 UTC

Aw thank you! I'll have to get started on that then... ;D

This is fantastic!

Loved the soul-mate angle with the bar

And I was so thrilled when Barney went in to save Robin!

maggiemoore February 27 2009, 20:31:03 UTC

Me too! XD Thank you so much for your compliments, they're really encouraging!

I love your emsemble dialogue, and the way Ted calls the reader "reader" (bless his pretentiousness).

That's not Jack Harkness is it? :-D

maggiemoore February 27 2009, 20:30:28 UTC

Haha no, it isn't. Though I can see the connection now. XD I knew a Jack once, and he was an ass, so I decided to immortalize him as such: It's the writers ultimate revenge. ;D

And thank you for the wonderful review!

idioticonion February 27 2009, 20:36:12 UTC

I didn't think it was - but the muscles and teeth made me suspicious. Was your Jack a firefighter? Hehe.

I do hope you write more! You have a real flair for characterisation and dialogue. Really, really enjoyed it.

maggiemoore February 27 2009, 21:09:42 UTC

Nope, just a professional jerk. I kinda felt bad about picking on firefighters like that, but I'm sure there's at least one bad apple in that bunch.

Thank you so much! And I hope I write more, too! It's taking all my restraint to keep myself from breaking out 3 more parts right now; I sadly have a 4000 word paper to write instead. >.< But once that's done...

I absolutely adore and agree with your icon, btw. <3
