Awesome amusing anecdote there from Jake. I hope he gets his money. Seriously, I was smiling all the way through this :)

[sunnyd_lite]

So glad I could make you smile. Jake's a fun one! Thanks for reading and commenting!

[soundingsea]

Two slayers - double your fun! I like poor hapless Jake and his con attempts (and his happy memory of dancing with the slayers).

I've a soft spot for grifters, at least in fiction! Thank you for your assistance, for reading and commenting on the final version! *grin* So glad you enjoyed it!

Love the way that you've built up and fleshed out Jake as a character, and how this was such a story-for-life experience for him -- as well as a useful story to try to drum up backers. *g*

The original has that angsty, languid feel, which is perfect for the mood and experience she's creating. So your remix with its complete difference in tone and mood (great humor) while the frame of the plot is wonderful. To me, with the way the two stories are the same, but totally different in perspective is a wonderful reminder of how differently the same experience can be felt.

ahh how a writer adore detailed feedback, and thanks for the assurance that this completely different take on that night was worth the read! *hugs*

Hee.

[sunnyd_lite]

I made you giggle! Go me! Thanks for reading and commenting!! PS great Faith Icon

[roguewords]

Hee! I've had this icon as long as I've been on lj... so long I've even forgotten who gave it to me. :D

*grins* This was a very awesome remix of Desert Saints! I loved that original fic so much, so I had to stop by and see what you'd done with it for the remix... and the complete turnaround in tone and the viewpoint was completely refreshing. I love your take on Jake - it was priceless listening to his story as he ran his little scam. :) Great job!

[sunnyd_lite]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you found that this added something fresh to the original story. I enjoyed the original but Jake ran away with my muse and scams were had!

I appreicate you taking the time to swing by and comment!
