*whimper* I am very, very bad at that. Conversation I can do; analysis, not so much this last decade or so (cognitive function damage, yadda yadda, hate hate stabbity hate), though I can sometimes add a bit to what someone else has said.

Well, maybe not so much "detailed" as "specific", if that makes sense?  ...But there should be more at some point, anyway.

Oh, you want *specific* suggestions? The next one should be longer.

So, if you could pick one for me to expand, which one would it be?  (Making no promises, you understand.  Grin )

Would you do one about Alby's cooking skills and disasters thereof?

This isn't so much about what you should write as what you have written...

I hope you realize how utterly non-derivative this is. I mean, yes, technically it's kind of Shadow Unit, but only about as much so as Bujold's first book is about a federation officer and a Klingon on an unsettled planet.

What makes it work so well is the strength of your characters, and the entertainingly but also painfully messed up family dynamic. Which is great. And hysterical.

I'd love to see more about Alby's cooking adventures, and misadventures, too.

I'd also love to see more about her hospital visit re: the flu shot.

As always, I love it and I want to read more. I've been in love with this story since part 1.

Daphne: You can do this. You just have to stand up on it.

Chaz: Can't.

 Daphne: Stand up on it, damn you.

Chaz: On belay?

 Daphne: Belay on.
