AHHHHHH

I WILL TAKE ALL OF THE BLAME FOR THIS

BECAUSE HOLY SHIT

LIKE THIS IS THEM AND I LOVE THIS AND IT'S THEM. IT'S SO FUCKING THEM.

AND DAN YOU'RE SUCH A SHIT AND A DICK, AND OF COURSE NO ONE IS GOING DOWN, BUT OH YEAH, YOU ARE. AND HE RUNS IN JEANS AND WHAT A DICK.

AND THEN AMY AND I LOVE HER AND SHE HAS TO GET OUT OF THIS STATE, BUT JONAH RUINS IT AND WELL MAYBE NOT, 'CAUSE MAYBE THEY SORT OF LIKE THIS.

LOL AT FOX NEWS.

I AM STUCK ON LIKE PERMANENT CAPS LOCK RIGHT NOW.

HE EYES THE BED.

SHE WEARS GREY AND BROWN.

AHHHHHHHH.

GOOD.

THE DIALOGUE IN THIS STUNNING, JUST SAYING.

UGH I LOVE YOU ♥

Horrible people fucking is my new favorite genre. This was so much fucking fun. The dialogue! I love dialogue! And this show is all banter which is my favorite, so I feel like this fic was kind of weirdly inevitable. But you with the encouragement and the wonderfulness and, just, thank you for the extra kick in the ass that I needed.

Thank you bb!

banterrrrrrrr!! IT'S MY FAVORITE THING. This was awesome, Steph! I think you captured everyone's voices excellently, which is super essential for this show. Faaaantastic. And yay for getting past that writer's block!

[slybrunette]

Banter is the best. If I could just write that all day, every day, I would probably be way more prolific. But yay for getting these voices right; I feel like that's an uphill battle with a show that's only aired five episodes, you know?

Thanks so much bb!

This is really excellent. The tone is perfect and the dialogue is funny and in-character. Thanks so much for sharing!

[slybrunette]

Aw, thank you so much! I'm super glad you thought so :)

Yay, one of our current fandoms matches up again! At least, fic-wise. Which is super exciting, since I love reading any fic from you, but it's that much more fun when I know the characters. Anyway, I feel like this captured a lot of what is awesome about Veep -- the banter, the little references to previous eps sprinkled here and there, the quick pace, the frustrating (yet entertaining) situations. Plus, Gary! Even though he's a minor player here, he's just so... Gary. I love it.

[slybrunette]

Haha, we had to match back up one of these days. But, seriously, thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)

This is excellent, and even more in character for seeing last night's ep! Thank you for writing this <3
