BSG Ficathon Entry

Rated G
Note: I do believe this is the first BSG genfic I have ever written (I specialize in A/R smut). As such girlfriend struggled mightily with it. I hope it lives up somewhat to Mr. Bond's specifications.

So very Roslin, this, Kim!
*kisses*
Very, very good.

Solid characterization,
“On the contrary, this is exactly where I should be,” Roslin said

sublime tension building,
“Mister Ballard,” Roslin said to her guard. She did not break eye contact with Cain. “Give me your gun, please.” Ballard hesitated and Roslin said, “Do it!”
and intense too
“That is not a good idea, Madame President,” Cain said pleasantly. She drew her weapon and pointed it at Roslin's head.

recognizable situaton and very believable solution to the 'Cain situaton'

Did I already say I love it?
I loved it!

Thank you, Emma. This is a lovely review. :D Glad you liked the tension building. I was certainly tense when I wrote it. LOL

Here I scurry to your LJ,
losing my balance while sliding around corners
(and the bend)
after having heard
there was this new BSG fic of yours that we mysteriously missed the first time around .....

*sits down panting*

Knew it was too good to be true

*pokes in the Kim to see if there really aren't any more BSG ficlets coming forth*

8offers cookies*

How about a House/BSG cross over then?
*innocently hopeful blinkblink*

I hate crossovers. *sigh*

Oh, this was great -- lots of tension and excellent balance of action and words. I love the way you let Fisk redeem himself and let Roslin's courage be the key point. She's such an amazing character and you write her so well!

kimbari December 5 2005, 00:45:52 UTC

Thank you, hon. :) I love Laura so very much.

I thought Fisk was a real standup guy. Seemed like him telling Tigh about the shooting was a cry for help, especially since he recanted. (I think this character may have gotten a little lost in the uproar over the attempted rape.)

This, my dear, was bloody brilliant. You write such a beautiful Laura, and all of the other characters were also perfectly scripted.

This was a great way to spend a study break, lol!

Ugh, how late is THIS?!

Thanks so much, 'buck. I appreciate your feedback. :)

GUH. it's probably my own perverse quirk, but Roslin and Cain pointing guns at each other is frakking HOTT to me. I love this confrontation -- intense, believable, cleanly written. I put this on the femslash masterlist, if you don't mind.

kimbari January 5 2006, 03:07:19 UTC

LOL

I don't mind you putting it on the femslash masterlist, so long as I'm not considered a femslash writer. I have no problem with femslash, it's just not what I write (at least, not at this point in time ;) and I wouldn't want to raise any expections.

Thank you so much for the kind words. :)

And now you get the viewpoint of an outsider...

If you hadn't told me it was not actually BSG screenwriting, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. I've never watched the show, but from the zillions of commercials I've run into over the years for it, because I have the sci-fi network on a lot, it sounds like it could slide right into that world. Which is a good thing to me if you're intending realism!
