Aww, Olive. And strawberries. I hope they do Olive justice. I'm gonna go and try to find a decent download AND I should probably watch the 10th episode, 'cause I never finished with it.. Oh, well.

Anyway, this was lovely. It's like.. Pie Hole! There it is! There's Olive! And that's definitely Ned. Hi. Lovely.

I'm torn between putting the downloading off and finishing with my other to-watch shows (Bones, Merlin and The West Wing) before watching Pushing Daisies, or getting it over with and moving on. Since I don't need to watch them, I figure I might as well save them, like one does with expensive bottles of wine.

Thanks! I keep rereading bits and thinking, man, that is so contrived. Some parts flow well, and I'm satisfied with the dialogue, but the longer paragraphs. . .yeah.

Thank you! I like them a lot, but I don't really seem them working as a couple. Even if they got together, I feel like she'd always be his second choice.

I've never written PD fic before -- it shows, doesn't it -- but the need to do that quirky narrative thing the show does hits me every now and then, so this probably won't be my last.

This is lovely. I think you did an excellent job of capturing the conversational style of the show, and the dynamics between characters. It's easy to see this fitting into an episode. Your Olive is particularly grand, and I do enjoy Chuck and the cojoined twins bit an awful lot.

Oh, Olive! I love her so much, and this is just WONDERFUL.

Your dialogue is so perfect all the voices were so in character - lovely! :)
