Everybody wants to be someone's here, someone's gonna show up never fear

Nov 21, 2003 11:52

Okay, I know there are a number of SportsNight fans who stop by here from time to time, so if anyone wants to whip this into shape, I think I may have something. Though of course, most of you are Dan/Casey and I... well, read the thing and tell me what you think. I know there are some problems with movement, meh. But I didn't want all dialogue ( Read more... )

drafts, fic: sports night

This is a fine story. Yes. I like it a lot. :-D

musesfool November 21 2003, 09:32:48 UTC

Thank you!

Am I the only one who feels ashamed? snacky November 21 2003, 09:19:21 UTC

You know, I didn't watch much of SN, but enough so that I liked this little bit very much.

Turn off the CD, though. ;-)

All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy musesfool November 21 2003, 09:32:28 UTC

Thank you.

*g*

I did.

I suppose it could have been worse. It could have been Unsatisfied.

Good lord. After three days of Unsatisfied, you'd not be able to stand!

(Once I made a tape that just had The Last playing over and over again in an endless loop. And my coworker and I listened to it for days on end. *g*)

Yeah, that might have ended badly for Danny. *snerk*

Ack.

Switching bands, I once did a few days of nothing but "And I Fell Back Alone" by World Party, which just... you can tell from the fic that came out of it I was in a mope.

He walked over to her, shut the lights. Her face was washed in the dim glow of streetlights and a silvery hint of the moon.

I love this! (The whole thing, actually, not just the line) I'm all for writers who let the story be told thru the little things, and you always do that so well. This is great--thanks! It's a good way to spend my lunchbreak.

musesfool November 21 2003, 11:49:59 UTC

Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it.

Pretty spiffy, thinks me. Nice Dana, and Dan in boxers! Woo! I'd love to see more Danny-stories sometime...

musesfool November 21 2003, 11:51:14 UTC

Thanks!

Nice Dana,

Cool! She... I'm not always sure I get Dana.

and Dan in boxers!

Mmm... Dan in boxers...

I'd love to see more Danny-stories sometime...

I wish I had more Danny-stories to tell.

This packed a remarkable punch for its length (and for any length for that matter). I have a weak spot for stories that give insight on Dana's view of the Dan/Casey relationship, and this pushed all the right buttons in all the right ways. This line:

“You’re Casey’s. You always have been.”

says so so much and the "...you two have subtext." is, well, awesome.

I'm always sad to see a story end, so I almost read the last lines of anything with a negative bias, but here the end was my favorite, with Danny's, "Is it obvious?" and Dana's response.

I adored this and the fact that the title is courtesy of The Replacements only makes me love it more.

Thank you.

Yeah, I often wonder what Dan and Dana would do without Casey between them. Would they be friends? Work friends? Something more or less?

the "...you two have subtext." is, well, awesome.

In the context of SN, it doesn't even feel meta, you know? There are some stories and some fandoms where saying that would feel like authorial intrusion, but to me, that sounds like somthing Dana (or Natalie or Jeremy *g*) would actually *say*.

but here the end was my favorite, with Danny's, "Is it obvious?" and Dana's response.

Again, thank you for the lovely compliments.

the fact that the title is courtesy of The Replacements only makes me love it more.

I liked this title better than the generic "Subtext", which was my first thought. *g*
