Thanks, hon. I really wish I'd had time to flesh out that last section (the convo) with something besides the dialogue, but alas (and my own fault really for having accidentally deleted my assignment email so doing this late as it was) it was not to be. And actually, if I think about it, if I *had* worked on it earlier, I probably wouldn't have picked this one. I read at least the first chapter of all of them before deciding, and was leaning toward others until I read this one last and just picked it because it had the obvious possibility of the other person's perspective.

I also would have gone into more detail about the time since the invasion, how they came to be "more intimate", etc. Oh, well. I had fun doing it.

Glad you liked it...even if westerns aren't your thing. ;p

Well, I understand about looking over a posted piece and wishing you had changed something but to my mind, the learnings make us better writers :)

Oh, wow, I'm all flail-y with excitement! This was fantastic! And to think that I almost made this a safe story since I've been working on a prequel and couple of sequels. I'm so glad I didn't or we would have missed out on such a great fic.

It's so fascinating to see how someone else would tell the beginning of the story as opposed to what's been marinating in my brain.

Thank you!

Oh and just FYI, my username doesn't have an underscore in the middle. It's just all run together. : )

First of all, I had somehow deleted my assignment email, and was contacted by Minx as to what was up the day after it was due. As soon as she sent it, I remembered you were my assigned remixee, but I don't know why I deleted the email before ( ... )

I love what you changed and added! You really worked in details about a lot of characters without making it seem like you were trying to. It flowed really nicely!

Thanks - I really appreciated your taking time to read it the other day. (And again today! You rawk, but we already knew that!)
