Thank you so much!

Aww, this brought a smile to my face. :) I want to point out all the things I liked, but then I'd just end up re-posting your story in its entirety.

Aw. Thank you, honey - that's a lovely comment for me to go to bed with.

Now, if the coming week can live up to that ...!

That was just perfect! Thank you! You should do them more often, branch out on the Danny's...next you'll need to do a story about Danny from Studio 60...

;-)

You realise this fic would work just as well if it were my Danny, and Casey? Apart from the bit about the Donna Karan skirt, that is. Oh, well.

I might well have to do a S60 fic too, which will be hard, as I only half-watched it and really didn't like it much. But I expect I can knock out a drabble. (I'm going to give up on sorkinverse soon, though, I think. It's too much like hard work!)

Also: thank you!!

I loved it! So delightful. And so true - in all that traveling, what has she really seen? You've got Danny and his impish charms down perfectly, and CJ's worldweariness.

(One note: covered from head to neck?)

Hooray! It's fun to see you in a different part of Sorkin's canon, as suchthefangirl said, and as you pointed out, nice to see the ways that Sorkin recycles the characters we love and brings them back again.

Head to neck indeed. I've been making a lot of stupid - not even typos, just typing completely the wrong word - recently. I'm blaming the heat, for it is very hot here also. Also, and I have just noticed this myself, I do hope she stopped and put her shoes back on before she walked off.

And thank you! It's ... different, trying to write for Sorkin's other shows. I've produced several tiny things for the comm, including one that paired Amy Gardner with someone called Brad (? Brad? Bram, I think) who I do not even know who he is, just that the actor's IMDB page shows him to be ridiculously handsome.
