Fandom: Life On Mars
Rating: G
Summary: One night, two pairs of eyes.
Word Count: ~1,900
Notes: Gen. For the Life On Mars Ficathon 2008. Prompt was Gene, the way it wasn't, happiness; I'm not entirely sure this was quite what was meant by the way it wasn't, and originally I was going to do something more obvious along the lines

Really enjoyed this one - superb character voices and switching pov, with clever meta-ish leanings. Tremendously original and brilliantly executed - yay for you!

Aww, thank you very much! :D

FNNNNG

Okay, yes, with the argue-banter, and the two narrators and allll the win, and Gene's sense of self-importance/grandeur/awesomeness, and Sam with his not quite fitting in/not wanting not to fit in -ness, and, okay, Maddie, you win.

I love how this was written. It definitely adds a fun touch to the night, the different points of view, the comments on the dialogue. Nice job!

[strangeumbrella]

I'm really glad this kind of writing worked and made sense, so thank you. :D

Oh, I liked this! I love the switching POV sparking snarky little arguments...awesome!

I like the give and take between them, and the whole flow of events in the pub. Really well done, thank you!

I love this so much. Oh, Maddie. You may not write every week (more pity me), but everything you write is so damn great. I adore the way you wrote this. I have a real kink for unreliable narration and different points of view. And it was hilarious too. Chris' brilliant one liner and the way the two perspectives converge. Fantastic.

asldkj, it really means a lot to me that you liked this, thank you so much. :DDD I've always loved unreliable narration stories but never tried to write one before, so I'm glad it worked!
