Aw!! HELO!! ZAK!!! Sniff. What a nice emotional moment. A nice spin on such a humorous prompt!

Loved this little detail too:
A pretty brunette pilot came out of one of the stalls; made horrified eyes at Kara’s work-in-progress. Whatever. At least her flight helmet would fit better now.

Why so fast? O_O Speed Commenter!

Seriously, though. Thank you for the kind words! I just felt like writing all of a sudden. I always did like to wait until the last minute to cram ;)

callmeonetrack July 31 2009, 03:03:42 UTC

Er..should I go away and come back later?

AHM IN UR LJ, STALKING YOU!

Actually, I'm tracking all the battle entries/comments since I'm the mod. Am writing another prompt right now myself too!

mintenergy July 31 2009, 03:09:18 UTC

LOL, of course not.

I was just done working out my LJ illiteracy to get the links right/get the kinks out and so your reply seemed really fast to me. Because I am sssllloooowwww.

Look at you churning out fic. How do you folks do it!?

Oooh this is so nice and emotional. I loved this beautiful little piece. :)

I hope you write more! :D

mintenergy July 31 2009, 02:57:38 UTC

Aw, yay. So sweet to hear. Thank you! I actually wrote a one shot the other day. Apparently I've decided I want to write fan fic again. I think my fanficanator just got worn out for awhile and has finally recovered :)

I love your icon BTW She's ridiculously beautiful in that moment.

eugis July 31 2009, 03:05:30 UTC

has finally recovered :)
AWESOME! I hope your fanficanator brings us more Pilots. :D

She is. ♥ Though it's so sad what happens after that... :(

mintenergy July 31 2009, 03:14:29 UTC

Thanks you! And yes, always pilots ♥ 4 EVAH :) I don't know how to write anything else since I never have.

She is. ♥ Though it's so sad what happens after that... :(

Oh, you mean the part where she goes to heaven and meets Zak and waits for Lee?

Or the part where she becomes some tribal prophetess and waits for Lee?

Or the part where she goes back in time while Lee waits for her?

LOL, I cling to my fanfic delusions so well these days!

Guh this is so sweeeeet. It kinda makes me cry a little bit but in the good way.

I gave him what he wanted.

It killed him

That little bit right there just about killed my soul.

Hello friend! So glad you thought it was okay. And sorry to be a little depressing for you there, I really need to work on writing lighter stuff at some point...

Thanks for leaving this, always love to hear your reaction. :)

rayruz July 31 2009, 13:49:43 UTC

Oh don't worry! It's okay! I like getting my heart trampled on from time to time. Comes with the Whedon fan territory.

mintenergy July 31 2009, 13:55:03 UTC

LOL, that's right. I forgot about your tough Whedon shell. I think after the BSG finale, I might be developing one of my own. A kind of "hurts so good/ depress me more" mentality LOL

OMG, you and I are seriously SOULMATES because I was writing almost the exact same story. No joke. Except that I only have about a paragraph of it because I coudln't stay awake last night to keep going.

Seriously, I love you and I love this!! I love Kara and Helo's friendship. It's awesome and you can tell that they are sooooo close. You captured it perfectly.

Thank you.
cheers.

mintenergy July 31 2009, 13:53:34 UTC

No kidding? You're still going to write it though, right? It would be great to see the contrasts/similarities. I hope I didn't kill your fic muse on you!

Aw, yay. You're awesome ♥ I think it's worth writing fic just to bring you back to my journal ;)

I love their friendship, too! There's something about platonic male/female friendships that just feeds my soul. In real life and out.

So glad you approved, my friend!

amaliak July 31 2009, 18:24:45 UTC

no joke. I'm in the middle of doing my traffic school right now (*cries*) but I will totally try to finish the story. Yey re-mix! haha.

YOU feed my soul.
*hug*

cheers.

Aw, this is lovely. I'm certainly glad you wrote your own prompt! Somebody had to, and you've done a marvelous job. I loved the idea of Kara growing her heart out in mourning (or penance). And you did a great job capturing the Helo/Kara interaction, especially with moments like this:
“I don’t understand, Kara.”

“I know,” she said simply.
That's just so Kara. Great work.

mintenergy July 31 2009, 14:01:13 UTC

Thank you so much. This was a very different experience... to write with no idea where it was going from line to line. I didn't have a clue why she was cutting her hair until she started talking to Helo. It's kind of fun to write like that and I'm really glad you approve of the idea.

I also enjoy hearing Kara's characterization is okay from you; it makes my day.

Thanks again :)
