I thought that whole cruel fate story was interesting and a good riff on that whole "We fucked...he changed" bit. But I secretly always wanted one night like Deb's version. And I think that is what fanfic is for(it's helping me work out my whole "Give Kay more to do" thing.Cause *I* just find her majorly interesting, not to slight the magic of FrankenTim. Cause, dude, FrankNtim.)

YES! Precisely it. And of course, I know the storyline was all about the "doomed lovers" thing and it was certainly an interesting way to make damned sure they were actually doomed and all, but shit, couldn't they have at least given them one good night where they wake up together and no one gets fanged or harmed and they both actually get to remember it?
Aww! Schmoop is good food.

Oh Deb. Sniffly. Sneak schmoop attack.
erika, I'm loving Kay. You know, before she did H:LotS, Leo did The Young Riders. She was glorious, her hair knotted back off her face, calico dress from floor to wrist to neck, using that twist to her mouth and the little twang in her voice to good effect. "The little woman" to all outward appearances, small in stature, demure in dress, keeping with the convention of the times (unlike the buxom bleached blonde with the face paint who "replaced" her), but tough as bootleather and hard as nails when need be. She was a different character, of course, but the spine and the glint in the eye were the same as Kay's.
And you've got her, to the life.
Wasn't ML amazing in Young Riders? Bev, that's an uncannily perfect description of the character she played, and how she played it. And yes, she got to wear the hair loose (edit: it was loose the first time I saw her on that show, at least - on horseback, and she'd just been riding hard. Glorious.)
ML skews my Kinsey bigtime. That face... the way the chin comes up. Gah.
Yup. She's tough and tender and and sensational. Besides, gotta love a redhead.
deb, your story gave me the chills. So perfect. I am always a fan of the schmoop.
I missed "The Young Riders" but I know many of her fans remember it fondly.(And that has got to suck, being run off by twinkies twice.)And I am very proud that you think I captured Kay. She's a great character. And, on H:LOTS she looks that good with(next to) no make-up. Like my mom says when she gets to swinging The Hair around "I hate her. Not really."(And really The Hair is what sent her to Caritas, cause I wrote "It's all about The Hair." which of course sounded like "It's all about the coat." And it's good practice for me (in writing and in life) to get inside a character who doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve. Cause Timmy or The Munchkin? In hugely different ways...but if you ask them what time it is, they'll tell you the story of their lives. Which is more like me. Kay would be like "My watch stopped."
