lanalucy chapter 2 . 9/20/2012 "Because that would be wrong." lol Those words always remind me of the BtVS episode This Year's Girl, and it always makes me giggle. |
handshakesandheartaches chapter 3 . 8/12/2009 you have made me laugh so much in the past 2 hours its not even funny! i love all your stories, and if i ever hear the phrase "training evals" again, ill certainly double over in laughter :o) |
SweetMiyu chapter 3 . 12/22/2006 JAJAJAJA oh god they were CURSED. And your fic to. I spend a hole day trying to read it but EVERYBODY has to phone/talk/sell/complain TO ME, my brother lost his keys( and i am supposed to know were he left then?) my dog broke the phone(after all my friends and family called me)my dad forgot to buy eggs that we needed for the tortilla( and I had to go to the market). ALL this only happened while i was trying to read your fic, not while i was at the gym, or while i was cooking...no ONLY when i was reading your fic. And the worst is i cant hate your because you wrote a wonderful fic. |
Srgt Wilco chapter 1 . 2/11/2006 The story's ok, but I LOVE the summary of Tyrol's situation with Sharon: "How would you feel if your girlfriend shot your boss, got you locked up as a traitor, got herself killed by one of your friends and then an exact replica of her showed up alive and knocked up by somebody else?” |
Jenndifurry chapter 3 . 12/14/2005 LOL this was so great! |
X-SJ chapter 3 . 12/13/2005 this was really good. |
Clarks Blue Eyed Angel chapter 3 . 12/11/2005 OH. MY. GOD! This was so great! The characterizations were spot on, it was hot, and the pacing was amazing! So cruel how you drug out their initial encounter for so long, but also incredibly effective. And you are a genius with the innuendo: “So the scrolls say, but still…” She whispered as she leisurely unwrapped the towel from around his waist. “That’s a side of you I’ve never seen before.” “Never felt the desire to reveal it before.” ...Heh. Awesome. And I loved Adama casually asking about the training evals, and Kara and Lee's reaction. Though it would have been funny if Adama had worded it a tad differently: "So, Starbuck, how are you coming with the training evals?" "Actually, Sir, I'm not coming so well... uh, I mean THEY aren't!" Heh. I loved how this was so hot, all about the sexy, then in the end it was actually so sweet and tender. I loved Lee's shyness in the hall, about how she "might never say it" and then in the end we find out she did and how those words affected him. And then he just says "Me too". Aw! This is one of the best K/L fics I've read, and it's definitely going on my favorites list! Thanks so much for sharing, your stories are always great, I always know to click on one if it's by you. Matter of fact, I'm just gonna add you to my favorite authors list. Thanks! ~Karie |
SG1SamFan chapter 1 . 12/9/2005 Perfect quote to end the chapter. I also loved Kara's "buttons" jab at Lee! LOL. Emily |
adafrog chapter 3 . 12/6/2005 aw...great story. Loved it. Thanks. |
stardust2002 chapter 3 . 12/5/2005 Glad you decided to write more! I love the one-word answers - too cute! It reminds me of Han Solo and Princess Leia in The Empire STrikes Back when she says 'I love you' and he says 'I know'. Priceless. The 'me too' is fantastic as well. Thanks! Keep writing - I love your stuff. |
Nytel chapter 3 . 12/5/2005 Wonderful! You just put the biggest smile on my face. :) |
SciFiScribe chapter 2 . 12/3/2005 Roofie! You are a goddess! I loved this story, and the prequel. What I wouldn't give to go over training evals with Lee Adama... Beautifully crafted. Michelle |
JessicaRN chapter 2 . 12/1/2005 My fav part: "He lowered his hands to her waist then slowly lifted back up, underneath her shirt. His eager hands had just met her bare skin when… “ACTION STATIONS, ACTION STATIONS, SET CONDITION ONE THROUGHOUT THE SHIP.” Gaeta’s voice rang through the P.A. A siren blared and the orange caution light that had been illuminating them was now blinking harshly. Lee pulled back from her and looked at the flashing light. “You gotta be frakking kidding me.” She wrenched his face back to hers as her lips found his neck. “Ignore it.” She mumbled insistently. “There are no Cylon raiders, it’s just a drill.” “INCOMING CYLON RAIDERS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” She pulled back from him hastily as well. “Frakking Gaeta!”" lol what a comedy of errors. I have to say, you did a fabulous job describing the extremes of frustration felt when you want soemthing so badly but the world conspires against you.. man, I've been there, it sucks just as badly as you made it seem.. Excellent job :) - Jess |
Antigone11 chapter 2 . 12/1/2005 "...But it seems I’m too much of an idiot to realize that, so instead of being where I desperately want to be, I’m stuck here with you losers..." I've got to admit I don't get this because Kara is the one that on two separate occassions backed out of their 'training eval sessions' because she was throwing a temper tantrum (i.e. she's the one who TOLD Lee that he needed to speak to the Quorum, then blamed him when he returned). She's been making the choice not to spend time with Lee, not the other way around. I don't know, I guess I just don't buy that she acts like a brat and he should be grateful that she even speaks to him and therefore placates her. Obviously every author is going to put their own spin on their characterizations. I like your writing style. It flows very well and you make it easy to visualize the mise en scene. |
stardust2002 chapter 2 . 12/1/2005 I literally have tears running down my face I am laughing so hard. That was THE best , THE BEST story I have ever read. How do you do it? That was wonderful - just made my pathetically horrific Apollo-like bad day! Thank you so very much. :) I love you. |
