Awesome

Very good, especially for a first try and with a cell phone. Drables are fics that are only 100 words, although some people aren't exact in their word count. This has a bit too many words too be a drabble (it's 566 words). I'd describe it as a short one-shot (meaning it stands alone). I really enjoyed this and hope you write more. :)

Even though I'm sure you used a word counter when I read your comment I had a lovely vision of you counting each word by hand. You sound like the tootsie pop owl, "One...two...thu-reee..."

I mean that in a completely good way. Thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for the drabblecation!

Now this was worth making an LJ account over.

That's rather brilliant. Totally worth making an LJ account (for us, anyway). Hope to see more from you.

This is wonderfully funny and clever and dead-on for them. Great job!

Now, about that drabble thing: I should warn you, I am a drabble purist, so I think if it's more or less than 100 words, it's not a drabble. Personally, I would say that what you have is a "ficlet," but the terms of those are mose loosely defined (personally, I go for less than 2,000 words on those).

Whatever you call it, it's a damned good time. Nice work!

Thank you very much! I enjoy your writing as well. Before I read your page I thought I was the only one who realized that Jack and Cutter are totally gay for each other. Connie is such a beard.

I had no idea the drabbling rules were so specific! I don't think I'll try a real one - communicating in less than 250 words isn't a real strong point of mine - but I will try to re-tag this story appropriately.

Connie is a total beard, but she loves them anyway. Because they buy her lots of drinks and occasional $30 steaks.

The rules aren't really super-strict. I prefer them super-strict, but I don't usually lose my mind over it (I will, occasionally, but the stories that set it off are usually also terrible, and yours is not).
