Jesus. I woke up this morning and saw that I had six-ish messages in my LJ inbox and was like, what the fuck? Did someone really feel the need to edit a comment FIVE TIMES?
Then I realized you'd read my fic and left feedback, and I about cried on the spot. Your words are so sweet and meaningful, and it's so good to hear from you, especially since I admire your stories so much.
I was very nervous entering this fandom -- as it's quite established and full of talented writers. There's already a lovely cache/archive of material.
I'm pretty much skeptical of anyone whose work I haven't read before, too, so I understand your hesitation completely. (But do know that I was silently brooding and feeling all rejected!Nora about it...but I promise it was quite cute. I had pouty lips and wounded eyes. I was channeling Lee). Anyway, I'm so glad you took a chance and liked it. I'm overwhelmingly thankful. The thing about fic is, just like all writing, is it can be quite subjective and everybody has their own kinks and tastes and whatnot. But I'm so glad Wire Hanger resonated with you.
I disagree about your assessment of our varying characterizations of Kara. Despite all of its flaws, BSG was an incredibly rich show, the characters quite layered and multidimensional. There are a billion ways to see and interpret them, especially Kara and Lee; and your Kara feels very real and true to me.
raging!Lee. Hee. I'm so glad those bits worked for you. I was unsure how to handle his character, and I feel like in general I have less of a fix on him than I do on Kara. I used to think Kara was more complex, but I'm realizing more and more that she's quite straight forward in a lot of ways. Lee often throws me for a loop, and rewatching BSG has made me see his incredible richness.
Oh, anyway. You've made my week -- really and truly. Your feedback here is just so well-considered. Thank you times ten.
