Nice job!
Norwegianne chapter 10 . 4/23/2004
Wonderful story.
It's slash, but not really... if you get my point. They're so in character that it seems like they should be bisexual on the show as well, because they *are* like you've written them, on the show. Great writing. I'm holding out for more.

amazing story. I don't normally like Sam/Josh things (I'm a Viggo Mortensen/Orlando Bloom girl) but I loved it :-)
Will there be more?
VampireSpider chapter 10 . 1/8/2004
Great chapter, I love the way things are going. I love how Josh/Sam takes a secondary seat to the politics and I am in awe of your knowledge. keep going this is good.
Congratulations on the Jed nomination, by the way.

sleeping with the president...that's the stuff nightmares are made of.
VampireSpider chapter 9 . 9/7/2003
Hurry, hurry, hurry! This is one of the best slash fics out there, and I don't like being without it ;-)
Starr Light1 chapter 9 . 7/26/2003
you seem to keep the charcters in well character as much as possible considering the whole gay thing, and its a really good story that really fits cannon because while it deals with more personal issues it is still really about the west wing staff of the white house and their jobs running the country, not just about sam and josh having a relationship
Rose Williams chapter 9 . 7/13/2003
Yay, more, yay! I love it. Sam and Josh is good. Josh POV is good and it's light hearted without being fluff. Wonderful. And I'm haivng fun with the quotes from the series again. :-)

First off, this is a fantastic story, and I hope you can get back to it soon! (Although I understand about RL...) You have a very, very plausible plot with all of the characters sounding like themselves and acting like themselves, yet you have somehow managed to get past the "angst requirement" so much Slash seems to entail, something I truly appreciate. I also think you made an excellent decision, bringing the guys on as an established relationship, and that the plot development you chose for "the outing" was a good call. Overall, I am really enjoying this story, and I can't wait to see more!

Before I go though, I just have to congratulate you on your "Josh" voice. It's dead-on, right-on, true-to-my-idea-of-the-character. It's a great achievement, and I find the fact that you have accomplished this as a British writer extremely amazing. Speaking as an American living in the UK, I am horribly sensitive to both American and European characters suddenly speaking and acting as if they have had a "continent transplant." In the case of your writing, however, not only do you have geography, politics, and a terrific grasp of popular American culture down-things you can't get just from watching American TV and movies, stuff you actually have to go out and *research*-you also have an American who does not park in "car parks," did not "go to University" or "to hospital," is not "keen" on things or "fancy" things, references baseball, and just generally Sounds Like Himself! In fact, I've found only one case of "Britishism" in your story-the use of the work, "cheek," in a context most Americans don't use-and I am just astounded! You are obviously not only a good writer, but a dedicated, serious one as well, who treats your subject matter with the respect it deserves. I am in awe-truly in awe!

Keep up the good work! More SOON!

OO, new chapter. And the partner history thing was great. I imagine you'll be bringing in the nameless girlfriend who walked in on Josh and Dan (interesting that he can remember the guy's name, but not hers). Anyway, great chapter, and anxious for more. Personally, I'm hoping you deal with some of the Leo and Josh issues you've got going there...Leo seems a little uncomfortable with some things, beyond the whole friend of his father thing. But whatever you do, I'm sure I'll be happy.

I must have missed a couple of updates in the 'I'm not reading fanfic becuase of spoilers' stage. The repetition of actual lines becomes a bit full on at times, but I like the way it is all put together.

I'm really glad I found it again because it's a very enjoyable read and I would like tosee more soon as is possible.
Katherine Grace chapter 8 . 3/18/2003
*smile* Oh, very good.
