I like this, good characterisation.

[astrogirl2]

Thank you! They turn out to be kind of fun characters to write. :)

Oh, I LOVED this! :D It felt very much like a classic episode of the series, complete with the extra dollop of complexity to the solution. I love how the situation was deteriorating on Al's end, and how we could tell without your spelling it out. Lovely job with this!

Thanks! I do think in most episodes of the series, what Sam had to do was a little subtler, but, hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. :)

Ah, I agree with the commenter above! I haven't watched this show in ages, but as soon as I started reading, I could hear and see it and them all so clearly. You got their voices down pat. And this was such a fun read!

[astrogirl2]

Thanks! I watched an entire season of the show before writing this, and it was pretty enjoyable research. :)

Punny, witty and terribly fun; feels just like an actual episode of the show!

[astrogirl2]

Thanks! There really should have been an episode about him stopping the zombie apocalypse. :)

[rise_your_dead]

Hee, I'd've loved to have watched that!

Lovely work! You have the voices down perfectly, and you work in the zombie apocalypse seamlessly so that it feels like canon.

[astrogirl2]

Aww, thank you! I think maybe it's really only one step weirder than some of the stuff they did in canon. :)
