Things sound different when you’re writing them as opposed to when you’re reading them. Does that make sense?
Total sense. I think, from reading this, that we may have some similarities in our writing styles, in the granularity of detail you rennder the story to in thought before you start typing.
I love this story SO much. I agree with your conclusions about young, new-Captain Jim, about Jim and Bones getting more serious on the Enterprise (I don't have a taste for UST and I do for Academy fic, so my headcanon is that they got together as FWB at the Academy), about so much in this grand and glorious story
( ... )
I've been thinking about why I enjoy stringing them along. It's not really because I like to torture them, though I suppose that's part of it. *g* I think a part of me is really tickled by the idea of Jim Kirk: Interstellar Ladies' Man. I want him to have some sexy interplanetary romps before realizing he wants to spend the rest of his life with Bones.
that was the pattern I followed with both doubled apologies in my story
Huh. See, I love your story. I completely adore the study of Bones's character, and the initial inability to talk things out. I think your Bones came off as a bit more humble, with his very formal "Captain, I was out of line," and I really, really liked that. By the time my Bones got to his "As your chief medical officer..." line, he wasn't apologizing so much as giving Jim his assessment. Though I guess there was another apology tucked away in there.

What?!?!? No! Seriously, I loved that story and I'm so glad you wrote it. Don't knock it. :)

Whereas, similarly tickled, I continue my polyficcish ways (I'm terrible that way, I always look for characters I can write as nonmonogamous).

*nod* That's how i read it. On the surface it's an assessment, but there was a sort of surrender beneath.
i totally agree with the Bones' Bones's etc thing too. Gets a bit annoying. I think almost all of my fics are from McCoy's perspective though, now that i think about it. I definitely find dialogue easier to write than inner thoughts for some reason. this is cool, i wonder what i would come up with if i did this on one of my fics. probably not this much insight. i liked hearing about all the thought that you put into it. thanks!
Hee. I have more insight into some fics than into others. This one just happened to have some sort of history. It's kind of fun to look back on these stories. Sometimes certain things jump out at you that you really hadn't thought about while writing, sometimes you remember things that you'd forgotten. I enjoy doing these commentaries.

Also, I blush in your general direction. :)
