Is there any decent Connor-Lindsey fic out there? Preferably with a plot.
I haven't seen any, and I'm pretty sure that particular pairing would have caught my attention in a big way.
Someone will just have to write me some.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Huh. Just got some feedback on how I could fix the LFN story I just posted.
I mean, it's better than a mindless LoC, I guess...

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

Eh? What? I feel very stupid, but I can't figure what this stands for.

I keep meaning to send you feedback on that, I haven't seen LFN since...well I'm not sure when, never seen the end but I really loved your story. Now I wish I had kept up with the show.

LoC is letter of comment.
ita, as you might have guessed, there's a substantial amount of "Nikita would NEVER do that" comments, which have all been very polite and usually praise the writing. This e-mail suggested that I could go back and drop in hints about something being wrong with Nikita.
But see, I didn't want to do that. If I'd wanted to, I could have, but that wasn't the point.
Edit: Thanks, Allison. :-)

How would you know? You only wrote the damned thing!
You will notice I had nothing useful to say about it except "Yay!" for which I both do and do not apologise.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I thought--and you realize I'm speaking from your story and not from having ever watched the show--that the point was [story spoiler]
there *wasn't* anything wrong with Nikita. Or at least, this was base-level Nikita, who'd rebelled against Section enough to try to humanize it and get rid of some of its more obviously awful practices, but who'd internalized its dictates enough that doing anything to make Section work right--including killing children--seemed an acceptable sacrifice for the greater good.

Oh, my god, I'm totally hiring Micole to follow me around and explain my stuff.

Dana, I totally believe Nikita doing what she did though, it made sense to me. She tried to change Section into a 'nice' place, recruiting without taking kids like her and taking their lives away, but that was the method that worked. So she got desparate, afraid for her life.
