I'm glad that you liked the exchange between Veronica and Lamb. I watched that short little sequence from the Pilot over and over and over again, 5 or 10 seconds at a time, really trying to nail down what was going on in Veronica's head and such... so yeah, I'm happy that it seemed to translate well :)
It's also nice to hear that her overall thought process was believable. I know what you mean, too, about the show not making her into a 'shrinking violet'. Of course, there's nothing cowardly about reacting that way to being raped, but it made her character very interesting. How, like you said, she could be so strong in the ways she went about coping with it, but at the same time there were some definite fissures in her psyche that eventually came through.
Anyhoo, thank you very much for your comments. I was so nervous about posting this, and to have even one instance of positive feedback is really encouraging. :)
Haha, I didn't mean it that way. I did only post it at 10:00 last night, and wasn't expecting a flood of comments in the first place. You were just the first one to post a comment, so I got all excited when you seemed to like it, hehe :)
And, friend away! Except, just FYI, I don't really post in this journal. It's more my 'fic-posting' LJ. I have another one I use for more R/L stuff... but it's not that interesting anyway so you're really not missing much. Just thought I'd let you know :) Either way, consider yourself friended back if that's cool too :D
Wow! This was really amazing, a little difficult to read (because of the topic and not your writing or anything like that), but truly amazing. I felt like I was literally inside Veronica's head and experiencing her feelings and all the anger and frustration right along with her.
"Dammit!" I scream out loud, the word suddenly too large, too angry to be caged within the walls of my cranium. Abdominal muscles contracting, I curl into a tighter ball, knees almost knocking against my chest. "Fuck!" I scream at my bedroom wall, rattling the sheetrock with my rage. "Fuck!"
I loved that part of the fic (and the following paragraphs) when she just lets go and gives in to her anger about what happened to her at the party and her life after Lilly's murder.
Great fic, excellent writing and characterization!
Thank you so, so much. Your comments mean the world to me.
I don't even know what else to say besides that. I really, really appreciate everything you said. Thank you very much for reading, and I'm so glad that it was worthwhile for you :)
I can't read this now, as I'm at work, but I know that you will have done a wonderful job with such a sensitive topic. I did read the AN that said you set this in June instead of December. I'll admit that frustrated me just a little, only because RT can't take the time to keep his canon events straight, and I don't like anyone feeding his stupidity. Anyway, I look forward to reading this because I love everything you write :)
I know what you mean about the whole chronological setting thing. Not to worry though, because the June vs December thing really isn't important to this fic- I just mentioned it so that one paragraph where she talks about the weather would make sense. It is frustrating though. I don't understand why TV show writers don't make like, a master list of 'FACTS' that they can reference, whether it's about their characters, settings, events, etc. It happens constantly on TV, and it's quite annoying.
