you just can't show Sylvia one bit of mercy, can you? :p

[outsidethebx]

She's such a fun character to write, I can't help myself. I love everything about her, and she has some classic one-liners. To have the honor of expanding on, IMO, one of the best written characters on the show, is wonderful. (not to mention great fun!)

Nice...old bodybag is ripe for the plucking!!!

You got the dialogue good too..

I found I was grinning all the way through !!!!

Good! As usual, I appreciate your feedback. If I can write something that you find believable and humorous, I count it a success. :)

*giggle* Poor Sylvia! I agree with the great actress bit - it honestly takes talent to make an unlikable / picked on character like Sylvia come alive. That's one of the reasons Bad Girls rocked so much. Between Fenner and Sylvia, there was no shortage of characters to hate.

That said - you should do one of these with Yvonne and Sylvia. xDDDD

I like your icon! :)

*snickers* Thanks. Yours is awesome too - I love that look. ^^

That's so funny that you're suggesting Yvonne. I pointed out a scene to my gf the other day between Nikki and Yvonne, and she wanted me to write Yvonne as well. We'll see. Up until a couple of days of ago, I never considered it, and as is typical for me, I'll have to ponder the idea. I want to do the show justice and make sure my characterization is correct.

I agree with you about the unlikable (but so loved) characters on the series. Even with the prisoners you have Shell, Virginia O'kane, (sometimes) Denny, Snowball, and several others. I think the series declined (a lot) once Helen and Nikki (then Yvonne) were off the show, but the writers never failed to include well written bullies.

Oh that was too funny!! The thought of bodybag having a crush on Helen is too funny... although it would explain alot...hehe :p!! This line is just freakin great "Should I tell her to expect flowers?”!! If only I could of seen bodybag's face... talk about priceless...lol!! Great job!!

*g* I love the dynamic between Sylvia and Nikki, and they're so fun to write. I think I had a grin on my face the entire time I was writing. :)

Thanks for the feedback too. I really like knowing exactly what parts of the fic work for everyone.
