Oh wow. Effusive praise, fumblingly thrilled writer-type is fumbling and thrilled. Hee! ^.^
Do you have any Scotty centric fic links to share? This was my first foray into writing him (well, I did write a smut filled Spock's Fantasies fic that featured him in one of the scenarios, but it was Spock POV and barely a drabble so IT DOESN'T COUNT!) and I need moar! He's such a great character, ain't he just! :D
Thank you so much for this! You've made my morning :D

I know right? Once you start thinking about it all sorts of delicousness starts happening! latenightarting deserves mountains of chocolate and kittens for opening my eyes to the possibilities
I have a metaphorical hard on for mechanically inclined Kirk too, so this is just... yeah. Yeah. ^.^

You've shamed into updating again. Though I take the cookies and I eat them. I eat them all up!
As for upping the schedule... can you arrange it so that there are more hours in a day? 24 just ain't cutting it!
*dies*
I actually do want cookies now... I wonder if my grocery store is still open?

Early in the fic you use "fookin" and "foine" to imply accent but strictly speaking that's northern English, not Scottish. Maybe near the border but Scotty's supposedly from near Edinburgh and the accent Pegg uses in the film sounds to my ear pretty close to Glaswegian (certainly the colloquialisms are e.g. 'get to fuck' 'blah blah blah by the way' are very closely associated with Glasgow). The 'i' in fine would be very pronounced, also the 'u' in fucking would be pretty short. Try to say it aloud without using a 'u' at all and you should get the right sound. He would totally drop the 'g' though.
Ah. Annoying lecture over. Really sorry, as I say. If you're not british there's no reason why you should know these things.

No worries about nit picking, I encourage it! As long as you're not calling me an idiot for flubbing it so badly, or being a jerk (which you didn't and you aren't) it's con-crit :D
*grin* I am fail at accents - I know this. But, if it's only the foine fookin' you object to, I'm still chalking this up as a WIN. (see icon)
Would fein fackin' be better? Or should I just write them normally? YOU MUST TELL ME!
Also, HA! You've just revealed yourself as a resource! I mean.. Hi! Can I run future attempts at butchering Scottish accents past you? *bigeyes*
Thank you! Both for the heads up and the reading of and enjoying the hotness that is Scotty/Kirk.

Heh. I've only lived in Scotland two years but my whole family are Scottish, so if you have any questions I'd be happy to try and answer them. I'm flattered that you would think that would be helpful.
I only hope you write more.

This was hot as hell, and I just love your Scotty. Not to mention your Jim, who is always a little bit naughty and smart as a whip, a combo I completely adore.

I <3 them so.
