First, a hearty *GLEE* because in its entirety this fic makes me gleeful. And in specifics

[obsession_inc]

::GLEE:: back! I wrote FOUR THOUSAND WORDS in ONE DAY. This is kind of unprecidented. And for Kelly/Harmony for pity's sake!

And thank you, thank you, because I am so happy about this whole thing. It's been the kind of experience that makes me love writing all over again, because I've spent so long trying to plan things that I forget that my best writing comes out of just running full-speed into a story and tripping over things as they come up. The reflections, for example; I had already written the thing about Kelly checking herself out before it hit me that Harmony wouldn't have a reflection (doi!). The continuing "psychic" thing (of COURSE they both think they are and would believe the other is). Kelly's love of her job is something that I've pondered before, having seen it on the show, but it wasn't until I was in the middle of that scene that I realized that Harmony would want something new-- and it wasn't until I had already put together the REVENGE scenario that it occurred to me that there were a few vengeance demon

Congrats on posting this! I wish I were into it, but alas. However, I did want to send kudos.

Holler if you need any help with IM fic. I love to beta.

KELLYYYYY. Okay, so Kelly is pretty much one of my favorite people, ah, characters on tv. In my mind, she is totally my best friend. And then HARMONY and they're both so THEM and LORNE and I want to take your story and put it in my pocket and love it forever and ever. Seriously, Jesus.

Big yay! Somebody read this who isn't Sophia! And liked it! ::falls down in happiness:: Eee, yay, thank you!

Kelly is everybody's imaginary TV best friend, I think; there's just something about that marshmallow coating around the steel center that is PURE AWESOME. I have written her into at least half of my TO fics because she's just too great to ignore.

I now miss Harmony and Lorne so much, I'm scared to find out how much I'd miss everyone else if I peeked into that corner of my fannish heart. But of everybody I always figured they'd still be in Los Angeles, and that Lorne would be able to keep tabs on her because he'd make her hum every time she'd come in so he'd know she wasn't killing humans again, and it would be FABULOUS. Yay, yay, big yay, I'm so glad you liked it!

Oh, that's adorable, even if I don't know anything about The Office. But the squealing happy fashion-mad girls are fabulous.

Awww, thank you! I could ask for no better praise. Yay! Next time I may be persuaded to go with straight Buffyverse stuff, although I do shit voices for most of them. Spike never showed up, although he was scheduled to, because I could not for the life of me figure out how to write dialogue for him. (He may show up mute at some point if I ever do this again, but speaking? No.) Which is why Lorne showed up instead. I miss Lorne.

(If it helps, pretty much everything anyone ever needs to know about Kelly is covered here. She's not particularly deep, she likes clothes, she squeals a lot, she's kind of bossy, and she's freakin' adorable.)

Hee! This is so cute and funny. Those two personalities mesh so well together. And I love how Kelly is just like, "This is kind of weird" and totally unaware of how completely, ridiculously weird. And I love that you included Lorne! Anyway, loved it, even though I was a little worried the whole time that Harmony was going to end up turning Kelly so they could be BFF forever, heh ;)

And now I have an urge to try a midori-and-cranberry!

[sophia_helix]

Butting in to say that I discovered the drink at a Korean BBQ, of all places (where they were calling it a Midori Cosmo), and now I think I might never order anything else. It's a universal crowd-pleaser too -- I ordered it in mixed company and one guy tried to trade his beer for it.

[obsession_inc]

Aww, thank you!

And I love how Kelly is just like, "This is kind of weird" and totally unaware of how completely, ridiculously weird.

The beauty of Kelly is that if anybody can do that, it's her. She just barrels along on her own line of thought and it takes some doing to dislodge her. I love her SO much.

I was a little worried the whole time that Harmony was going to end up turning Kelly so they could be BFF forever, heh ;)

Ha! Well, it's open-ended that way. Who knows. Can you imagine the two of them going on a crazy vampire shopping spree with neither one being able to see herself in a mirror?
