Yay! You posted! I will give actual feedback as a reader tomorrow after I've slept! OMG SAM/WILL FIC!!

Also? Your writing this story in the first place is like the most awesome thing ever. No need to give me credit. Though that pony would be nice ;)

So far, this is AWESOME! Everyone is marvellously in character and the whole thing reads... well, much like an episode would. *loves*

:D Oh, thank you very much! After the craziness to get it written, it is lovely to hear that!

OH MY GOD. Things I love about this fic already:

*From the way Sam was staring at him, Toby figured he may have raised his voice a little at the end, there.

*Leo McGarry was absolutely not going to say the word "bisexual" to the President of the United States. HAHA.

*Danny and the press corps. And Mark and Katie and Steve. No one gives the press corps enough love, and this is fantastic.

*Will was like someone's awkward date who no one really knew yet. In my head, this is totally how CJ, Toby and Josh see Will.

... and on to part 2!

sjdflkjiowef Oh, thank you, Jen. <3 <3 <3 YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW I TOILED OVER THIS. And I'm glad you liked the Leo line and the line about Will as someone's awkward date because those are two of my favorite parts XD

I'm very late to the game, obviously, but I wanted to say a couple of things:

1) Overall, I love this so much and it makes me happy and I can't wait to read Part 2.

2) "If he's not gay he's at least... you know." Leo McGarry was absolutely not going to say the word "bisexual" to the President of the United States.

Um, WTH? Exactly what is wrong with the word "bisexual"? Why is it so awful that a grown man can't bear to utter it to his best friend who is, himself, also a grown man? You realize that acting like the word is bad implies that the thing itself is bad. Am I just missing something, or did you characterize Leo as having an irrational fear of bisexuality?
