it really does hit me as more of a character study, and I am All About Characters.
Me too, which may explain a lot about it.
So long as it doesn't get sentimental, it could be nice easy-breezy fun to write.
Don't tell connie, but yes. It kind of is.
If I could make a "not that you asked, but..." suggestion:
Go ahead, please.
Josie is a nice name, as is Jocelyn. Joyce has family associations. Joise bothered me because a)I don't like unusually-spelled names in general, and I can't see Spike using one and b)it's hard to tell how it should be pronounced -- is it Jo-ice, or Jo-eese, or Joyce, or Joy-see?
You make a convincing case. If I ever have reason to update the thing, I'll change the other ones.
I agree that it's an insanely cute and very good fic in general.

Thanks.
Am-Chau, this fic sounds fun. What would I have to do to get a chance to read it?
Susan, link upthread and again here. Hey, one can never type "a href=" too often.
Bookmarked for home reading. Thanks!

What!! You had fun writing? And it was ... EASY??? Have I taught you nothing? One must SUFFER for one's writing, one must SWEAT BLOOD and use said blood for one's ink.
On the other hand, follow your bliss, young grasshopper, write what makes you happy.

I've yet to see anyone actually protest that you've made them cry.
Don't pout, Plei! I suffered for that fic as well. Especially chapter two.

But I still feel GUILTY.
Like I should be paying for the Kleenex. And I still think Triptych was fairly happy, damn it.
Deb, I'm now insanely curious what you'd think of Absolution I and II. Hmm. (Also available at [link] )
