well, you better hurry up, I want to read your fanfic NOW!

JK! But I'm looking forward to it!

Sorry no knowledge of any military stuff at all, so I'm useless to you right now! hehe!

There has been some good fanfics out there, that's for sure!

Any particular rec's? I haven't read anything but a couple of drabbles so far...

Yeah well, I meant drabbles too, but there is one in particular that I really like, and it's not a drabble, at least I don't think anyway.

I really love the author, for me all of her fics are just awesome. Though sometimes it's not everyone's taste... You decide for yourself.

here is a link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5988062/1/Half_a_World_Away

Tell me if you like it! ;)

Thanks for the link. Interesting start to the story and more hopeful than when Brennan went away for 6 weeks at the end of S4 and didn't talk to him at all. Let's hope that over a whole year they might try to keep in touch occasionally.

Thanks!

I could suggest fauxmaven; she's my military expert and if she doesn't know the answer, she might know someone who does. You could ask her...

I don't know anything useful, but I had to laugh about you trying not to read fic until yours is done. I (try) to do the same thing, which means I have a shit ton of stuff bookmarked for later!

I can't wait to read yours! =)

LOL, I read the ones by [info]_missmargaret_ and [info]ladychi
, and was like 'that's it'. If I keep reading stuff that amazing, I'm going to get completely discouraged from writing my own.

I have yours open in a Firefox tab ;)

Oh hi. You're being ridiculous. :)

I mean those two? They are amazing. But you are too, my friend. You are too.

Hi there. ILU and your attempts to inflate my ego :P

In all seriousness, thank you sweetie. It means to much for you to say that.

And... right back at you. I've had your fic open and waiting to be read since the second you posted ♥

I know someone else on LJ who might be a good choice. I'm checking to see if I can pass along their name. (She writes more about Marines & Air Force, though, so I'm going to ask if her knowledge extends to Rangers as well.)

Here's the LJ of the gal I was talking about: http://miss-porcupine.livejournal.com/. She's willing to answer your questions if she can.

Living stateside, on a base in a combat zone, on patrol?

bite_or_avoid May 22 2010, 04:22:57 UTC
Yes, yes, and yes :D Would you mind if I compiled a list of questions?

fauxmaven May 22 2010, 13:57:28 UTC
Add to your list of questions an idea of theater of operations, and branch of service if not Army (please not the Navy). Ping me when ready and I'll send you my email addy.
