Okay so I read this, I'm psyched, I just don't think I can appreciate this as much at this time of night as I could in the morning, so I'll do a nice comment then, but I figured you'd want to know that I did get to it. So Yay.

(I could hug/squee jump you for running with the Smith idea, I really could. It was like such a perfect real life moment of time to play with, wasn't it?)

Guh, I'm really glad you got to reading this. I have to say the hardest thing about writing this fic was STAYING IN PRESENT TENSE. I started off writing in present tense for whatever reason, and instead of switching that to past and writing the rest in past I decided to continue in the present. That wasn't fun. So if there are tense errors throughout the story I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes, thank you for pointing out that article about Reynolds and Smith. It definitely helped. :)

I can't wait to read your "nice" comment! lol

It's so amusing how this starts out because I originally thought it was going to be with Mark answering the phone and getting the call, because that's the direction that americanleaguer went with. Instead we get the couple hours later version, which I think is interesting because I can't help but wonder what Greg was feeling. Although since his first line is him shrugging and pinching Mark.. haha, I love your Greg. So simple and laid back ( ... )

Did I mention that I LOVE your Greg? Because when he tells Mark, in a whisper, that he's going to be great out there, and doesn't make any profound sort of romance/sex statements, it feels so right. And I love that he has this real sense of not only what's going on, but that he truely DOES want Mark to succeed out there.. damn, those guys were such great friends ( ... )
