Wonderful! I'd been looking forward to reading this, as Victoria has been drawing my attention quite frequently of late. Iknow that she can easily be summerised as a bitch, but I actually consider her the most realistically human character of the show, I'm glad that your essay reflects this POV.

I always feel so sad for Fraser at the end of VS because as much as he cannot under any circumstance get on that train, in my heart I feel he should have...

*whispers* My Turnbull essay was due yesterday, but I got my dates mixed up and it turns out I have more to say about him than I thought I would... Hopefully no one will notice/mind and I can get it posted by tonight...

I just watched "Victoria's Secret" for the first time, and really appreciate coming across your essay! I agree that Victoria is one of the few people who really humanizes Fraser -- we see a lot of the Super Mountie but it's very rare to see him so emotionally vulnerable.

You mentioned fic: do you have any recommendations for any featuring her? Your references to her and Fraser leading a life of crime (especially him catching that train, what an AU that would make!) are, as they say, intriguing and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. :)

Thank you again for writing this essay; I'm sure I'll refer to it more than a few times as I start to explore DS fandom. I wish I had more comments but I'll have to leave you with a simple "...WOW."
