There were four people. One person from the program, one writer from an ABC show, one network exec and one person who I'm not sure what his job function is but I totally want to marry him because he said so many nice things.

They're supposed to make their decision no later than the end of the next week. So we shall see.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Problem is, she'd eat Jesse alive on her way to verifying the story.

Enough about my mother.

Kristen!

So glad you feel good. Take a few deep breaths and savour this.

So when do you hear?

eta: never mind about the timing question. Instead, can you tell me if people really wore as much plaid in the 80s as Miami Vice would imply?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This is so exciting!!!!

I don't think they did before it aired. But they sure as hell did afterwards.

Woot! Way to go, Kristen!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Um, hello. DETAILS PLEASE.

I think it went well. Oddly enough, it was kind of fun.

OK, that's awesome.

Now go ogle your new table.

That's a damned shame. Tubbs's style was much more emulation-worthy. And he's not worn plaid yet.

Photos of the table?

Um, hello. DETAILS PLEASE.

I don't know what else to say. Let's see...

We talked about how I got started writing (Buffy), how I heard about the program (Jane), what I was hoping to get out of the program (be a better writer).

They thought my script was wonderful, very well done, and that I got the character's voices spot on. They really liked the the story and thought it was unique and that Kathleen was a character they'd never seen before. We talked a little about where the idea for her came from and why I picked Without a Trace to spec.

They did ask me what was on TV that I hated (hi, Killer Instinct) and what I loved. Which was funny because one of the shows I mentioned turned out to be the show that one of them works on. Go me! Bonus points!

We laughed a lot, which I think is a good sign. All in all, it was really cool and fun.
