ah, this makes me sad for their loss. and i wonder how they're going to address that in the next season. i'd only started watching in this past one, and was astounded at how they showed what happened.

intriguing to consider all the different ways they have of coping with it all. each of them expecting a degree of isolation from each other as if she acted as a bridge between them? :)

I'm sad too. I liked Kate. And I'm incredibly curious about how they will go on in the next season. Also because I love to stay unspoiled, but when you are trying to plot a spec script.. not so good. ;)

I'm glad you are watching NCIS. It's a really good show, with incredible character and yes, sometime they do/show things that you don't expected from them.

And about the story, it started with the idea of Ducky, but then the other where there and they were all linked, a different sense of memory for each of them and so I ended up writing it this way. And yes, she was in some way a bridge. I believe that each one of them is a bridge between some part of the other characters. I don't know if I'm explaining myself clearly.

i'm totally unspoiled for it...unusual for me. i read every sg1 spoiler i can get my hands on. *veg*

it does get a bit graphic with the violence for me...but i'm pretty good at covering my eyes at the right moment.

and yes, you explained that perfectly. :)

I like to be surprised, but I have a very deductive mind and usually I get the whole plot easily enough without having additional hints. This is why I try to stay away from all spoilers.

Oh, very nice--I love all the different points of view, but I think that Abby's is my favorite. I can really see her as you've painted her, taking out her frustration in any way she can. Although I think that this my be my favorite bit of writing: "Maybe it wasn't too late, maybe it could still be straightened. He could take it out, and press it, and the wrinkles would disappear, and… "

I was unsure for a bit, but I'm glad that you wrote it in a way that I could figure out which bits belonged to each character by the end, and you never really even needed to use their names. And the end of Ducky's POV--very nice.

Great job. Write more! :)

Thank you kindly, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And this part "Maybe it wasn't too late, maybe it could still be straightened. He could take it out, and press it, and the wrinkles would disappear, and..."

is one of my favorite as well :)

I'll try to write more, maybe for the next challenge or when the new episodes will air. :)

Excellent. I agree, the section on Abby is just fantastic. Perfect.

[raven_lore]

Wow! Thank you! I'm happy you liked it.

I like how you're not wordy with these, but still manage to deliver four very descriptive perspectives. Very nice.

Thank you. Not saying whom I'm writing about is one of the thing I love to do. I'm glad it worked for you.
