When I first did this I simply could not get the Sandy/Ryan conversation right. It was originally a lot longer with Sandy talking a lot more. It just felt wrong. It was one of those times that I wanted to write it one way and the characters simply didn't want to cooperate. It was a relief to finally think of doing an inner monologue.

That's funny about the handprint. The first time I read your part it just stood out to me (obviously). When I re-read the story to make sure I got the previous details right, I knew I had to use it somehow.

You're totally going to write another part at some point, right?

I will if you will.

Oh boy, whatever is on those pictures, it can't possibly be good right?

I loved it, anne--the contrast between what Ryan said and what he thought was very well-done, very reminiscent of S1 Ryan...

[anne35]

No, the pictures can't be good, at least not in my mind.

I'm very glad you liked it. There always had to be so much more going on in Ryan's head than what he said, especially those early episodes.

This is so good, I can't wait to see what happens next. Ryan's inner voice makes me so sad.

[anne35]

Thank you very much.

It will be interesting to see who takes it and where they take it. Ryan's inner voice is very sad. I imagine that is how he truly was. He was too intelligent of a character to not have more going on than what he let out.

I loved this, especially Ryan's inner thoughts alongside his actual mono syllabic answers. I am desperate for Sandy to see that outline.

[anne35]

Thank you. I'm relieved to read that so many people liked the idea of his inner voice. I've read it before and since and it does seem to fit Ryan.

I am desperate for Sandy to see that outline.

I must admit I did use it for a cliffhanger, but that wasn't the only reason. I took the coward's way out. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to or could write the conversation that would then have to take place.

Wow, I just found this story. Kudos to all the authors; it's wonderful so far, and so sad, even if we don't yet know the specifics. Great work from all of you.

Thank you. I'm very glad to hear that you're enjoying this.
