Spi, I don't know how you manage it. Your fics are always so wonderful, and this one is no exception. Great job. -- Q
Oooooooooh what a great story. I really enjoyed it. -- arrietty
Aww. That was really sweet. Just the happy little fic I needed. Thanks! -- and_you_lose
I like it. And a dose of happy fic was just what I was looking for tonight =) -- Ren the Random, aka Helicopter
I must say I enjoyed this fic! :) -- ravenclaw_devi
snicker. excellent -- Natters
Excellent! Great job! (-: -- SG-Fan
So ... is Daniel really smart enough? Good mixture of angst and despair and romance and humour. I like this! :o) -- stusue
Really had me going there for a minute. Good mixture of angst and romance. -- BettyHall223
Excellent. I wish TPTB would write this. -- Ilovesg1
Oh, how much better that was than what actually happened! Good! -- caligate
I like that. It was good. But knowing Daniel he won't take his time. -- Mage of Mist
It's still too short. And I don't care if you want more plot to prop up more fluff, I want more!
>8)
*sigh, goes off to find a nice mary sue to read until spiletta finishes more fic. sigh* -- Anne Rose
Sweet! Oh, and SQUEE-E-E! Great capture! -- 7 League Boots
I liked it!! But noooo, this wasn't a parody!! LOL -- sharp
Author's reply: Dang typos! Fixed.
Sweet! -- pain in the mikta
That...was adorable :D Poor Jack and then yey for Jack! -- Aria
Fantastic!! -- SJAuthor
Sigh. Very, very nice. Didn't give it an A+ simply because it wasn't long enough!! Don't get me wrong, in a way it was the perfect length - resolution was beautiful - I just wanted my fix to last a little longer, that's all!! -- Kelley2
I LOVED this!!!! Just read it again for the second time. Thanks so much! -- Tracy
Sweet i enjoyed it. -- mary
My little shipper heart just melted. -- sakai_yukari
You had me worried for a moment! Angst, Romance, and the promise of more for Sam and Jack! Short and sweet! Loved it! -- nell
cute, and fluffy and sneeze worthy. thanks for brightening up my day. -- admiralkat
This was great! You could dominate the Kill/Squash/Eviscerate/idiot/Pete genre! As a woman currently extricating herself from a long-term abusive marriage- I was in no way offended. If Sam is guilty of anything- it's putting her feelings last, settling for too little, and having Cool-Whip for emotional boundaries. Talk about bending over backwards to be understanding! Hard to believe, but I know a guy who is not so far from the Pete character. Anyway- what a funny story. I loved the whole zombie thing- especially N-Zombie. Well written, great spelling, grammar, and structure...and well-ZOMBIES!!!! -- ChristinaS
Loved this story from beginning to end. Fantastic writing. This was one story I was glad to see Pete get what he deserved. I still don't understand Amanda's support of Pete and Sam's relationship in the show when he was so obviously a stalker. I guess maybe she thought that Sam could never be with Jack so why not get on with her life and just settle. Who knows what she meant, I don't understand it. How anyone would give up Jack O'Neill for Pete is beyond my comprehension. Anyway, loved the story and look forward to more from you. -- BettyHall223
Great story. You did a wonderful job and I truly enjoyed it. Glad he is gone and they are together. -- April
I hadn't read this one at first, because Pete was in it, and I'd just as soon avoid all of that. But I'd just reread you Xanadu, and loved it so much and recced it to a new fan (who wrote back that she loved it, too), so after reading your note, here, I decided to go ahead and read it. And despite all the Pete stuff, I really did love the team and shippiness of what you wrote. So thanks for writing it, and I hope you'll feel it was worth your hard work on it. -- Melissa M
I am so glad to see another work of yours. You do so well with getting the characters right. So many writers come close but I can see and hear them in my head when I read your stories. The only thing I might have suggested would be to use other names for Pete to call Sam instead of just Honey. On the show he called her Babe (which I hate and anyone who has Jack calling her that doesn't know jack!) and I could see him calling her Sammie too, which she only tolerated from her Dad. Anyway, I love your writing and look forward to more. -- kathystr
Wow. This is probably the best fic I have ever read. The interaction between the team is very well writen. You capture their personalities wonderfully. I love the way you deal with Pete. This fic is wonderfully satirical. Keep up the good writing. -- bibbilster
Great zombies! -- Jemima
"If you are seeking accurate and useful information on the subject of domestic violence, I'd like to suggest looking somewhere other than in a sci-fi comedy featuring zombies." Truer words have never been spoken.
For me, this has got to be the best piece of satirical black comedy
I've ever read in the SG fandom and something this particular area of it
has been needing for a long time.
I humbly submit that anyone who has issues with this piece of fic is
taking it far too seriously and desperately needs to lighten up.
Unfortunately, this also leads me to the conclusion that the people in question
must therefore have no sense of humour at all.
In which case, they would probably still manage to miss the entire
point of your fic, if you pointed it out to them with the aid of a compass
and map.
On behalf of those of us who don't take their fic too seriously, I offer you a hearty well done! -- Chezza
This story was great! -- SuperNova13
OMG - This was a great Adventure!Fic! Vampire prairie dogs?? I LOVED THIS FIC!!! -- Kelley2
I had to say that I absolutely loved your taking care of the Pete issue!!! I was ROTFLMAO sometimes. Of course the trouble to team got into was just like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon somewhat. Loved the Zombies and the loss of Pete's marbles...... I greatly enjoyed it! Thanks!!! -- V/R
Outstanding...I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish this. I howled at the many colorful names they came up with for Pete. As for the Sam/Pete situation, I think you handled it well. Since he had not shown his true colors before, a woman does wonder (I speak from my mothers experience..my stepfather was a sweetheart before they got married. That ended the day after the wedding, when he told he to shut up and not express her opinions to him. She went back several times and she felt it was her fault, because he kept pounding it into her. You don't know how you are going to handle such a situation, not matter how strong you think you are, until you find yourself in that situation. Thank you for a wonderful read and some very nice, if painful, ship. -- Ilovesg1
I enjoyed this story a lot. It was fun, exciting, all were in-character except Pete (which you warned us about), and there was lots of nice shippy moments. And I loved that Daniel had lots of murderous thoughts about Pete - that doesn't happen so often in Sam/Jack/Pete fics. Very good. -- Heather
I have to say, you once again wrote an amazing fic. Absolutely adored Xanadu and loving this one. You may not think so but I believe you described Shanahan pretty
accurately. I've had dealings with his type and the type of person he was in Chimera is the direct opposite of the person he was in Threads at the end. He wasn't even consistent with his psych profile of during the ep. No-one can change that way, the Shanahan of Chimera wouldn't leave quietly nor peacefully (basing on personal experience of having a close friend go through it), and I think TPTB changed him in that 180 degree way cause of the outrage they'd sparked in fans by throwing Sam into a
relationship with a future abuser. Ironic to think that Amanda vehemently supported that relationship. Matter of fact, she still supports it.
Anyway, I think you did great, and the end he suffered was pretty fitting. Too bad he didn't suffer more... - is physically stronger than her wannabe abuser Have to agree on that. Shanahan/the actor is not a physically strong person, he completely lacks upper body strength or any kind of muscles, his shoulders for example are the width of a kid's! Sam is a lot more physically stronger than he is, not to mention what kind of minced meat Jack would do out of him... I've noticed many times in several different fics that the authors make him physically strong or write how muscular he is. I don't understand where they get that from, the guy certainly has a prominent feature on his upper body and it definitely aren't muscles.
Anyway, wanted to say I loved the fic and fully agree with your physical description of Shanahan. -- VisualIDentificationZeta
Just one thing to say: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- stargazer
I don't know what other reviews you have received,but you need to know that this is fantastic. It't so funny and campy that I laughed out loud reading it. With all the disclaimers at the beginning no one should be reading it without knowing what to expect. So ignore those who read despite warnings and please write more. -- djeane2000(Donna)
loved the fic and no I didn't take it too seriously. I enjoyed all the S/J moments and loved the intricate detail medically and with the whole Fam thing. Great job. Wanted to ask if you were in the medical field because your detail with the injuries and such seemed pretty knowledgeable. Well now I am off to read some more of your fics have a great day. -- AT Fan
I loved this story. I might have a few issues with some of the plot points, and characterisation points too, but so what? I started reading, didn't want to stop. It had me gripped and LMAO very loudly at the same time. I enjoyed the action/adventure, the whump (Jeez you did a great job on the whole team), the superb writing and the humour. Not to mention the UST and ship! For the most part I thought the characterisations were excellent (Jack in particular), with some exceptions, which your intro makes clear you are well aware of. Worth it for a great story, IMHO. The fact Hammond actually agreed to send Pete Shanahan off world with the team is very unlikely, but it makes cracking good read nonetheless . . . Excellent job . . . It's a damned fine story that I for one am saving to my hard drive and would recommend without hesitation to the more discerning readers I know . . . -- Su
I absolutely loved it and it's one of the best stories I've read in a while (I definitely stayed up *WAY* too late just to finish it because I didn't want to stop reading) . . . I say, keep up the *great* work and I look forward to reading more soon!!! -- SGater926
Read it, what a hoot! Blow off people with no sense of humor--I needed a laugh and you gave me one! LOL -- sharp
This was a great story. I laughed out loud and also cringed at their pain. And Pete - ah sweet revenge for that revolting character. He was truly not worthy of Carter. And best yet how can you go wrong with Zombies. Even with the Zombies, crazied Pete, incredible amount of whumping the voice of the characters rang true. Thanks for the most enjoyable read. -- Zoser
The story was rather long for a Badfic!, and I think it was a little too good for a badfic, even though it had some of the typical markers. -- Seetha
How much time to think up all those names for Pete? It was funny! And everyone (even Teal'c) got whumped! And Jack got the "girl", and Daniel was good snarky! I loved this! Thank you! -- Laura M.
Excellent story. Really enjoyed it. I hate Pete. -- Irma
You did it, girl. Of course I would have like to have more kissyface, but I think that Xanadu had more than its share. I didn't find any typos or misspellings. How did zombie Pete get out of the three story well? That is my only question. Not a really important one, but a question just the same. :-) Congrats on finishing. -- Jadie
I found it funny, very well written and with nice, intense moments of insight into the characters I love... Pete not being one of them, of course *snicker*! --Anny
I liked it! I thought it was campy and fun. Is it the War and Peace of Stargate fanfic? Maybe not, but it's exactly what you labeled it as: comedic adventure fun . . . You obviously worked hard on this fic . . . keep on writing! -brandifer
I read it, I loved it, I shared it with gate fans at work... :) -- Trindajae
Yes, Pete was not Canon, but hey, this is fiction. I felt that the other characters were written VERY well, although the situation was so... bizarre! All in all, a very enjoyable read. And cute ending (the remote control) as well. Thanks! -- Sheree
I dont care what anybody else says that was a great story! brilliant in fact! I look forward to reading more of your stories! -- monstermunch3435
liked it very different but well written You should be proud. -- lill
Ah, I just love this story. As you well know. I'm glad you got a chance to justify another chunk of shelf space in your personal library. And yes, I still think Daniel's babbling about Sanskrit and such is just great, and not too much! I loved how one of the other readers got the "honey" thing, but I'm not sure she knows it was intentionally grating.
Heh, too funny.
Speaking of funny, your long disclaimer at the end is funny in that I
can't believe it's needed. But I do love the last line.
"If you are seeking accurate and useful information on the subject of
domestic violence, I'd like to suggest looking somewhere other than in a
sci-fi comedy featuring zombies."
*snicker* Really, ya think?
Bwahahahaha -- Anne Rose
You're right, that is a fabulous icon - and an equally entertaining story to go with it! I laughed, held my breath, and wished for more...until 0400 this morning!!! (Once I started reading, I couldn't stop.) Realizing that this is purely an AU story (emphasis on the word story), I did not have an issue with the domestic violence aspects or Pete's demise in general. The world is full of wackoes and war can be hell...sad, but true. This was a rousing good read from start to finish and I thank you for sharing! I'll definitely be looking for more of your work. -- colej55
I loved this story!!! Just read the whole lot, and I loved it. I'm not going to go into what others probably have with the comments on abuse, other then to say you handled it well. This story was so good. I loved the zombies. They cracked me up, even if they were a little disturbing. You really do nail these characters on the end, and Jack's perception of heaven really made me laugh, especially his comments about it not involving spooning with Daniel. Utterly hilarious stuff, with some fantastic one liners. This was the first story I read of yours, saw the link posted on lj's sj_everyday, and I will be reading more of your stories! Well done! Very well done!! -- Silver Angel
WOW!!! I LOVED this. I started reading this afternoon and couldn't stop until I was done!!!! It was really funny at times. You nailed the way some of the discussions/dialogue would go with the team. I had really great picture in my mind of how things looked and what they were doing ( great imagery )I love longer stories, this would have made a great film. The Sam/Jack relationship was great and I like it when it is acknowledged that Daniel and Teal'c are aware of it and that they are in Sam and Jack's corner ( so to speak ). Again, I really enjoyed your story!!!! -- Lana (gatewatcher)
That story is awesome. I love it, and I love you! *Hugs* Keep writing more awesome stuff like that. :D -- tokoya
Well that was fun! It was a very fast-paced and entertaining story with lots of shippy goodness mixed in. Excellent. And yeah, all of Pete's badfic cliche's were wrapped all up in one big package there, but hey, if you're gonna do it, do it big. ;)
Interesting that a few people were upset with the domestic violence thing. I thought it was pretty obvious that you weren't trying to tackle domestic violence as a serious issue or even that it necessarily qualified. Hmm.
As long as I've got you here, I'll tell you how much I enjoyed A Four Letter Word for Untimely. I re-read that one again and again. -- surrealphantast
An absolutely fantastic story! Very well done. As for the domestic violence issue, it takes all kinds. I thought you captured it rather well. Very believable. :) -- femaleapophis
Awesome... could the team possibly get more hurt?? lol... Seriously, just when I thought they were through being injured, another scenario came walloping along. I laughed, giggled and had a froliking great time reading this! Thank you for a great piece of writing. -- Shirl
I loved it. It was fantastic... Pete's over-use of 'Honey' made me laugh for some reason. It seemed to really make his character more pathetic. Ooh. Another thing. Loved Jack in this. You really captured his Jack-ness. "M." He rested his cheek against her skin. "The promised land." The line still cracks me up and I've read this story four times over. Anyway, fantastic story. Keep up the good work. -- Kirariara
For a fanfic this long, I'm amazed I got through it. I usually stop reading fics after the first few paragraphs, but this one was just too awesome!
My fav bit was the part about Pete's hand on Sam. How Daniel tried to stop Jack from seeing it was really sweet and funny. As was Jack throwing a rock at Pete to get his hands off her.
This fic was really well paced and interesting. Really well written. Good job!
P.S. PRETTY PLEASE WRITE SOME MORE!
-- Jen
Oh God that was hilariously good. I stayed up past 3am reading it and subsequently got just over 3 hours sleep. Not a smart move but oh so worth it. I've always loved that icon. This fic just makes it all the better. :D I'll be sure to check out your other stuff after work. -- Nikki Darling
Hahahahaha! That was awesomely hilarious. Though if I had to read him saying "honey!" one more time I was going to beat somebody over the head with a statue. Well done!
I can't believe that some reviewers took issue with you over "domestic violence". Did they not read "Badfic!Pete" in the title of the story?! Sheesh. Thanks, a very fun read! -- Katie
Great story! It's honestly one of the best I've read thus far! -- atlantis sg1
*Smiles happily to you and waves quickly*
I just wanted to tell a second to say a short WOW and THANK YOU!!!!!!! Your story is a real treat for me and I really have enjoyed what you've done and please write more soon, it's very nice for me to read along and I love it.
Thank you and happy day, -- Melissa aka Missy
hahahahahahahaha, freaking hilarious! And at least the team was mostly canon. ANd the pete whumping was fun! although I prob should have been doing my arabic homework but whatever...great job!!!!!!! -- lindsay
I love it.
I'd originally deleted it from my mail because the title reminded me a bit too much of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a movie I strongly disliked. (It had it moments, but not enough to watch it again.) After all the contraversy and glowing fb, I opened it up.
I think petey boy's characterization was hysterical. My only quibble was how long Sam was on her feet with an internal bleed with the size bruise described, and no medical care. But it was great, and I'd recommend it to someone else. Cheers
-- Kris
author's response: That's why I chose the spleen. It can bleed a bit, and then stop, and then bleed some more later, all with the patient walking around, however uncomfortably. Also, the direct blow to her ribs would have caused plenty of bruising in its own right, causing it to look much worse, as Sam told Jack twice. I agree that had something other than the spleen started bleeding following the initial kick, nothing that happened from that point on would be plausible. I considered allowing Janet some dialogue on this whole issue, but it didn't fit smoothly, so I relied on Sam's brief comments on the topic. I'll give it further thought.
This was honestly one of the most funniest fics ive ever read. Great job! -- Hulabaloo
Loved this fic! I wouldn't change a thing and the issues you mention in your note at the end never even occurred to me. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for another one. -- Batari
Wow ... I absolutely adored this fic! It was so funny, but with so much action, drama and angst. It was really weird, reading a really dramatic scene where their lives were in danger, only to have some funny lines in the middle; I thought that juxtaposition was inspired. There were also so many great one-liners; I had a few really good belly laughs as I read this fic. My favourite sort of comedy, whether the written or the spoken word, is a serious situation with dry, comedic comments, rather than a funny situation. This fic has plenty of that. And all the great names you had for Pete... I also love fics with Amazing Super Sam, and she certainly was that in this fic.
But I certainly didn't see any domestic violence issues ... I was sorry that Pete had to die but Sam was certainly no victim and stood up for herself as soon as she perceived that there was a problem. I was surprised when I read your AN at the end. And it was a comedy involving zombies, after all.
I'm just sorry I've finished reading it **pout**. I shall certainly be reading this one again! :o) -- Sue
I loved it. It was hystarical and rocked my socks. I think you got the dialog and characters (except for the obviously caracaturized Pete) pretty darn close to right. It had humor, a zombie moose (what is funnier than a decapitated zombie moose?), some Jack/Sam 'ship, and a joke about Jack/Daniel slash. Some passages were a little difficult to understand and required re-reading, but then again some scenes were chaotic. Over all this fan fic was snazztastic. -- Nyssa
really enjoyed this story, and it was well written, also read your bit at the end. can see where someone would be concerned but it is fiction and therefore should be taken as that. not that I am not concerned with what Pete and Sam indicted but come on it was a brilliant story thanks.. -- sg1star
I believe this was a beautifully written piece, and that the note is unneccessary. If one cannot read and understand the title, then one should not read the piece. This was a wonderful interpretations of the SG-1 members, among the best I've read. It is among my favorites listing, with a big smiley face next to it. Do not beat yourself over over dramatic whiners (I'm not a fan of Pete Shannahan myself), it is a fan fic-- not something set in stone, and my god, it was superbly written... -- Denara Jinn
You do Sam and Jack better than everything I think Spi, this one is great with the gentle build but to the inevitable so natural, and warm and real. -- cath
Excellent use of point-of-view, swapping back and forth. This piece made me proud to be a shipper cause it was so well done. -- blvdgirl
It's wonderful. In everyway. You really have alot of talent. *hugs and gives freeze-dried peas* -- QFan
That was really good! I smiled throughout the whole thing... Great job! -- SG-Fan
Wow, this was great. I was acutally writing a Mobeius tag today and it pales in comparison to this. Excellent. "I'm sorry." "I hope you're not." "Nope. Not even a little bit." "Good." Awesome! Well done. Hope to see more like this. -- Samisim
o, this is a good 'un! I must say I really like your style. It's spare, which I find I prefer. Some writers are far too wordy making it difficult to read. This flowed very nicely from one character to the other. My one complaint? I never imagine the scene at the cabin with Daniel and Teal'c present!! -- STC
ya see! this is how it should have ended...but no... now if they had made it a two hour episode...:D -- Skwerels
Sweet! So wonderful, so perfect; I loved it. Great job! -- Keegan Paige
Ridiculously predictable. Well done. ;) -- Windrider
this was great! thanks for sharing. -- ascifigirl
That was very sweet - I enjoyed it tremendously! Thanks for writing!! -- janissima
sweet! the interruption from daniel was just so typical ;) -- Natters
Oh, how sappy, but oh, how good! Well done. -- caligate
I happen to be a "Threads" fic junkie, and this was fantastic! -- waterfall
Is this the perfect ending or what! This has become one of my favorites. Not contrite, very real and adult. You wrote a beautiful story. -- LadyJeep
Makes you wish they had done this in the show, perhaps they might in S10 -- tdadobber
love it! -- voodoolizzy
Excellent! Thanks for writing it. -- LJEvans
I really enjoyed it. Now I need to poke around and see what else you've written. -- Melissa Middleswart
I loved,loved, loved this! Perfect, just perfect for them! I especially liked Jack saying he wasn't one bit sorry Sam had broken up with Pete. That was DEFINITELY Jack! Thanks so much! -- Tracy
LOVED IT! And I would so So SO love to read a sequel! I'm just sayin' ;) *hugs* -- LCTC
Wonderful story. -- Irma
beautiful story well written and the characters are respected congratulations from a french fan. -- nefertiri
See, Stories like this are why I like fanfic, great job! -- O. Rose
Wonderful! Love the fact that you recognize the trip to MN takes HOURS and HOURS instead of just being a little day trip, like most authors! Great characterization -- really wish we'd seen THIS in the ep! Awesome! -- Laura/momm2five
I love it! -- unsigned
Fantastic, really enjoyed it. The perfect ending. I'm off to search for more of your stories. -- trisha
Aw! Sweet! -- Anakin David
I very much enjoyed your story. It was refreshing to read. It was not like a lot of the other stories that have the same type of format. Keep it coming! -- Disneynut
Such great writing and I love the ship. They're just so good together! -- BettyHall223
Very sweet and touching! *shuddery sigh* Can almost see this happen! -- pain in the mikta
Absolutely Fantastic! I loved it...the best Threads yet! -- danr
Beautiful and believable. What else matters? -- Josephine
It was very nice. Truly, I believe its wrong that they ended the series without Sam and Jack getting together. This was a very nice way of doing it and it fit in with the series very well. -- Samantha O'Neill
Such a sweet, romantic story! Just as it should have been. -- Gen Varel
Thank you so much for the perfectly romantic, mushy, kissyface fic! It was funny and so in character. I heard the voices and it was just like watching the show. May SG!'s PTB take a hint from this and give us some S/J in season 10. -- Jade
This... was amazing. Simply freakin' amazing. LOVED this line: "That's a lot of wedding gifts," Jack said. "Bet they have plenty of woks." HAHA! Great! I love all the detail you wrote for the Xanutes and "Xanadu" (awesome movie, btw!) was just a perfect touch. Excellence. Pure, adulterated (yes!) excellence. This got me all hot and bothered! ;) :) :) -- TLWROX
Excellent from start to finish. -- dp
This was a wonderful story. It was so well-written and just so much fun to read! -- melora30
Any kids on the horizon- such as the sequel horizon? Loved the story. I'm glad you kept Sam and Jack in their characters, though the alien influence made it difficult. But I have to ask again- any possibility of a sequel? -- Rose Stetson
This was good! I am glad Daniel found a way to get them married. It was funny in parts! Thank you for this! Good Job! -- scottiedog
This is one of THE best fics I have ever read. And I have read ALOT of fics in the last few years. It was truly worth every hour spent reading it. Thank you very much for writing it and posting it in one part. Keep up the amazing job! -- Virago500
Loved it, loved it, loved it! My only complaint is that Sam and Jack have waaay too much willpower for my taste! :O) -- Tracy
That is an Amazing story! --LuSo
Awesome story!!! Loved it!!!thanks so much for sharing! -- sammie77
I already read this story this morning on your website and I have to say: great work, as usually, hon. 8) Keep up the great work! -- Nimue47
very kewl..best S/J I've read yet! do a sequel!! :) -- A
I loved it! :D Great job! -- Breanne
That was really great! Very romantic and yet full of angst. I loved it. Wonderful!! -- getcarter
Wow. Just wow. I'm speechless. That was so great! I've had a story with a similar premise in mind (and partly on paper) for a while now but yours is SOOOOOO much better. The complexity of your plot is amazing! I'm especially impressed with the touching thing. Who'd have thought that Daniel's touch would have been the catalyst for Sam getting sick. And the way you brought it to light with the girl on the planet? Brilliant! I love how you conveyed all the emotion and desire without the sex. I really appreciate that. It's good to read something where two people can be in love and want each other terribly but still have self-control. The emotion and latent sadness amidst the happiness was really palpable. I love how you resolved it, too. The minute I read that Daniel went to Washington I knew it! Go Danny! I knew he'd find a way around the rules. I've read stories where Sam and Jack have been married while out of the chain of command for a short period of time, but this was creative genius! I never would have thought of that. Great job and keep it up please! God bless and have a great one! -- Sarah
I like it. Course I like happy ending, so I'm easy to please. :) But I think you did well on the chararcterization. Daniel and Jack cracked me up. And it is so nice to read a story that has a real plot. One that is thought out and makes sense. -- Lorcan
I really want to read this but not if it's gonna give me a headache! put it into chps and it will be alot easier to read. -- nogigglingmajor
So awesome! It was a joy to beta. As to being in chapters, I think that would be detremental to the quality. DON'T DO IT! -- Q
This was so incredibly shippy! I loved it! -- gater62
This fic sucks because:
It's too short - you must write more.
There's not enough plot - you must write more.
There's not enough romance - you must write more.
You left out Teal'c, or anyone, mentioning undomesticated equines - you must write more.
Kinsey is still alive - you must write more.
CowBoy is still alive - you must write more.
*goes off to sulk*
I'm suffering from separation anxiety I think. And I'm suing you for
bodily injury as I tried, in vain, to scroll down and find more. -- Anne Rose
Very good! Good plot and story with some s/j ship to top it off. ;) -- cori
fantastic story, one of the best i have read in a long time,thank-you for sharing it with us,please let us know when you have other stories coming. -- wynter
very well done. i like the way it uses some of the other series to add depth to it. please write another!l -- yoko's programmer
Just one word-fantastic!! -- Heidi
I just wanted to say I loved this. It may have been plot cliche #23, but it was so much fun! I loved how you drew out the UST and angst...fantastic. Most fun I've had reading a story in a looooong time. Thank you. :) -- Sarae
really good! thanx a lot -- saphira
Really enjoyed it - Thanks -- Zoser
This was absolutely amazing - bloody fantastic - loved the writing throughout and the humour was brilliant, v funny! The romance was extremely well written - so cute and the way you expressed their emotions was great. Loved this fic - fabulous - well done! Can't wait to read more of your stuff - you're a brilliant writer! :) -- Nikki
What a wonderful story! Thanks for making my day! waterfall -- Echo of Sound
Awesome! -- Dee
YYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY S/J shippyness love! I so adored it. You captured their characters amazingly...all the tension, all the soft touches...awww :) -- cute_az_can_be
I love Stargate but have never read any fanfic, that was great. Thanks -- Bandaid
That is an awesome story Spiletta, I love the interaction between the two of them and the way Daniel is supportive. You make one hell of a job of torturing them too. -- Cath
Friggin awesome!!! the best i've read in a long while. -- Heather B
SWEET STORY wish you had a sequel out -- Petey Hanson Assassin
A plus -- JACKIE
I thoroughly enjoyed this, even if it did distract me from doing my dissertation! -- arm
I know I already gave you a review but I forgot something and you cant edit reviews so... I still think it was an awesome story...even though I am dissappointed you left Jacob out seriously Sam becoming sick by HIS hand instead of Daniel's when Jack and Sam were addicted to each other and still on base woulda been sweet -- Lane
This was fun. Thanks. -- julia
Thank you for a brilliant story, I loved it so much, I`m almost sorry to have finished reading. Hope you have some more stories in the pipeline. -- DeniseM
loved it just perfect. you really have the characters acurately portrayed. Unlike some of the cough cough smut fics I believe they would wait for the right time and place to act on their feelings for each other but in the meantime are there for each other in every way possible except that one. -- AT Fan
I love it, Spi. I love the 'almost', the tension, the building up and how everything is more important than 'other things'. Even though I didn't know the characters, I felt I was there (or at least, I wished I was....) -- Intala
great couldn't stop reading thankyou !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved it. Though I was a little suprised by the ending (not THAT part) but how does a marriage off-world solve all of their problems? Why didn't they just run off to Vegas? Oh well, I just hope that TPTB take a page from your book and get this show on the road next season, and a nice off-world wedding would be just the thing... -- Lennie
Fantastic Aplus -unsigned
Thoroughly and exquisitely shippy! Suspense, plotting, imagery-excellent. Team interaction that meshed with the romance-excellent. Sam and Jack in each other's clutches - SQE! Creative resolution after neatly dropped clues about their bond which hardly needed any help anyway. Well crafted story; true character dialogue. Thanks for sharing the excellent read. -- 7 League Boots
I really enjoyed it- thanks for a fun read! -- Vivienne
Oh man, this fic was just *perfection*. Your characterizations, dialogue, style - everything - were flawless. It reads like an episode, except that readers actually get what we want from *your* story ;) In particular, I loved your Jack witticisms...especially the crack about how he'd always known there was something odd about Daniel (when it was revealed that they were "allergic" to him) and the line about Carter having rung his wehast years ago (lol!). You have his sense of humor down pat. Great stuff, all, and I love the way you kept them true to the characters (and not just rushing into bed, or something) straight to the end.
This is a perfect example of what good fic should be like. Congratulations on a great piece of work, and thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable read :) -- silver
This story was absolutely fantastic. It was so fantastic that it made me stay up until 1:30 a.m. reading this because I just couldn't put it down. And, you should know that my bedtimes is usually around 11:30 p.m. Keep up the great work. -- April Penner
This was a wonderful story. Loved it all. The part with Jack, Sam, the yoyo and the shower were hilarious. I had to read it several times over because I kept laughing. Again great story, can't wait for more. -- Irma
I loved this... It was wonderful and shippy and *sigh*. :) -- pixie
Great fic! Loved every second of it! I just wish it didn't have to end so quickly...or at all to be honest *lol* So...er...feel free to write a sequel or two! ...I'm just sayin' ;) *hugs* -- LCTC
Loved it and all its shippy goodness. -- jwhennig
Great story, I wanted to scream each time they got close but pulled back. -- Crusher
Excellent story!!!!! Hilarious, angsty, hot, and sweet all rolled into one great story. Hope there's more where this came from!!!! -- Marq
I just finished reading "Xanadu" and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it!!! I can't wait to read more of your stories. -- Danielle
Absolutely fantastic fic - *exactly* what I needed today!! (And left me feeling so happy that I had to email the link to some friends ;)) Really loved your characterisation and all of the SJ goodness. Thank you so much for writing this and posting it - good SJ is so hard to find these days!! -- Jo. R
Brilliant! Just what i was looking for - some heart-warming Sam/Jack stuff! Loved this fic - please keep writing more SG1! -- valkyrie
have read this story before, can`t remember where, and I thought it was great both times. Thanks alot. -- ronnie
I normally don't like romance fics but this was amazing. You have done a great job with it. -- cait
Very cool. I could read this one again. I saved this to my favorites. The best part is staying true to the character roles and the way you pulled the sexual/romantic tension through out the story. This would be a good episode for shipper fans to end the SG1 S/J arc. Thanks for taking time to share your wonderful imagination and story writing abilities. Enjoyed it tremendously. -- fepbradshaw
WOW! That`s all I can say. Fantastic, great. Very, very good. -- Maguchi
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I think this is a brilliant piece of work and one of my fave stories. I don't think you got the credit due to you because you submitted it in one complete chapter, so I'm making sure I throw in my appreciation - keep on writing please! -- OhFrazzle
wow, this fic it's really sweet and so cute, and the most amazing thing that it's real in some way, because it could really happen to them, at least I hope it does! Anyway great fic, I really hope there's a sequel to this, pretty please!! -- Artemis1987
that was one of the best fanfic stories I have ever read ( & I've read too many!!!) This helps make the wait for on-screen ship more bearable. I'll keep on the lookout for your stories. -- siamjane
WOW! that's the only word that comes to my mind right now, this's story it's so beautiful and so real, I can see it happen in the show, I don't think it would but it could happen. I just love it, they are perfect for each other. It was like they've been dating for years, it all came so natural for them. WOW!! I really love it!! GREAT FIC!!! -- Samira
The sexual tension was intense! Good job on that. The ending left me wanting more details, but the story was interesting and reminded me of a fairy tale. Thank you. -- Gen Varel
I absolutely loved this story. I take that back. I ADORED it. looking foward to your next invention! -- Mary
. . . Speaking of which, I voted for Xanadu, and just thought I'd let you know (again? I *should * have reviewed, when I read it the first time, months and months ago) how much I really enjoyed that fic. Good luck :) -sil
One of the best I have read,I loved it. A balm to my shipper heart. hugs -- mary xx
this is one of the best stories, i've read in a long time. -- Francis
I loved the story, especially of Carter and Jack kissing and getting married. -- Tiffiny
Oh.
My.
God.
A fic consisting of Sam and Jack making out almost every second or
third paragraph...
BRILLIANT!!!!!
and the ANGST! and RESTRAINT! and Brave!Sam...
Did I mention all the smooching??
THIS FIC WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!! -- MajorSam
I have read this story many times and enjoy it just as much or more as I did the first time. Thank you. -- SqueeG-1
This story is so amazingly fluff filled, i couldn't read it in one go. I actually had to stand up and leave, leaving my family wondering why I have this giant smile on my face ^.^
Thank you so much for writing this! -- Janeta
Oddly, this story was next on my journey through your website and what a great trip it was! I laughed, nearly cried, and swooned more than once!!! Thanks for keeping the team and especially the ship alive!!! (Please write more...nice looooong stories like this one.) -- colej55
I enjoyed this fic greatly. In fact, I think it made me discover a penchant for good AMTDI I didn't know I had. :) -- Devi
This is so my new favorite fic. I stayed up past 2 trying to finish it even though I had class this morning (but then I didn't because it SNOWED). Daniel got them a marriage licence!!!!!!!!! "What do you say, Carter?" is now my new favorite part of any fic, tied with my former- one of jezyk's where things change and no one remembers what's going on
(too long to explain) and George watches Sam and Jack go home together and thinks "When did I give permission for that? Oh well, I must have or they wouldn't be together."
And OMG the Xanute made a play about them!!! -- Riane
This is a wonderful story. I found it elsewhere and have read it and reread it a few times--it's my favorite for really extended foreplay!! And when I recommend it to other SG1 friends, they love it, too. Thanks for writing this. -- Melissa M.
Oh God, yes! I love a good "we want each other so bad but we can't have each other" S/J fic. Especially when that sexual tension is ratcheted up a notch or fifty. -- surrealphantast
Really enjoyed this. It was happy and heart-rending in just the right proportions. Thank you. -- Josephine
This is the second time I've read this fic and I loved it just as much the second time around. It's a great story with great tension, passion and longing between Sam and Jack. I will definitely read it again! :o) -- Sue
This is positively the best Sam/Jack fic I've ever read. PERIOD. This fic was AWESOME. I was completely spellbound from beginning to end. The marriage ceremony and the other cultural aspects of Xanadu were incredible (not to mention the Sam/Jack)! In short, I loved it! :) -- the-rushingwind
I loved it! Though I was hoping to read the "good stuff" at the end ;). The whole story was building up to it and then to just skip it over... cruel! lol ;) -- Sunstar
This was the best fanfiction I have EVER read. Ah it's so good...you deserve a Caldecott award! -- Manda
This story was the best story I've ever read in my entire life. I could read it again and again. Amazing job! A++++++++++++ -- Jen "Spacemonkey" A_
This was absolutely one of the most enjoyable Sam/Jack fics I've ever read! -- SJ_Author
ROFLMAO! This story (and its sister) rock my socks off! Great job! How about one for Teal'c and/or Cameron? :P -- Eleanor Rose a.k.a. User 4574
Not really a huge stargate fan, but this was done really, really well!! I think you've converted me. -- sashababy
Re-read it so I could read the sequel and *sigh*. Love it more the second time than I did the first. Your Sam and Jack are just perfect - and Daniel and Teal'c are spot on, too. Wonderful story, just perfect! -- Jo.R/driftingatdusk
That was wonderful. You have a real skill at story telling. -- Shinki
I really loved this sequel. I would really like to do something nasty to Qiao. Thank you. -- DeniseM
I see you've done this before. Excellent story. You should be a member of writers of America. I think they would appreciate your creativity and your detail to characters. This is why I love being a muse. Excellent storyline, exceptional plot and very, very nice ending. That's what it's all about. Need I say more. I'm going to be watching you, fellow muse. Indeed. :D -- HAZMOT
Oh my god! So beautiful! And all those kisses... -- madaboutdanny
This was a wonderful story. Loved the D/V elements in it, particularly the ending. Gotta admit that at the end I was beginning to really feel for Mitchell. -- acer-sigma
That was so much fun to read - an absolute joy! fun, fluffy, and funny - I nearly fell out of my chair at the undomesticated equine reference - well done all around!! -- ilna
what a great read! thankyou :) -- Enajnitram
Absolutely adore this fic and its predecessor. Fantastic writing and characters, though I felt a bit bad for Cameron lol. Hope you keep writing :D -- CrazyLikeaFox
Awesome awesome awesome!! Jealous/Possessive!Daniel is so the best there is and you wrote him out perfectly! ^_^ All the UST was phenomenal, is there a fully NC-17 version somewhere though? I think I remember reading the prequel to this and it was just as fantastic, I'll have to read it again. Thanks for sharing! -- Milena D.
What a fantastic fic - loved every minute. Thanks -- Racheski
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic! You're a really good writer. I hope you write more DV-fanfic like this one. Good job. :D -- Denize
Oh, absolutely PERFECT! I can't tell you how excited I was just to see the title of this story :) I loved all the similarities to the previous story, as well as all the differences!! -- SJAuthor
Seriously. That was one of the most awesome stories ever! Seriously! Seriously! That was freaking awsome! I love you! Seriously! -- Killerbees
Very cute and so funny, too. (Poor Cam - hee!) I love the little Sam/Jack moments and Vala and Daniel were so sweet and lovely... So glad Teal'c got a 'gets the girl' moment, too. I so love Xanadu! -- Jo.R
Lovely. I particularly found Jack's quick protection of her - pointing out that the detector was reading blue, and Sam didn't have to further incriminate herself with words - really in character, especially for that episode. Nice work :) -sil
Nicely done : ) Thanks. -- Offworlder
I liked how you, for the most part, stuck to what happened in that scene. It was very well written. -- Sammantha O'Neill
Very good story. I always wished we could have seen what Sam said to Jack in that episode, it's one of my favorites. -- BettyHall223
I like the way Jack stepped in over Anise--or was it Freya? ;) Well done! -- SJAuthor
Fabulous story Spiletta. I've just finished watching season 8. That fitted in perfectly. I have to say your characterisations are terrific. I could 'hear' them all. Your J.O. is uncanny. cheers -- elem.
I have to agree with elem, you've got this spot on Spi. I think it is you best to date. -- Cath
So..what's the four letter word for untimely? I can't believe Pete didn't say anything. Obviously he would have seen something in the rearview mirror...ah well. Funny story! -- TubaPrincess
oh wow...i'm a real fanfic addicted (with all the sillabs) but hey girl WHAT ARe U TRYING TO DO TO ME? gosh really this is a hell of a fic! GO ON FOR CHRIST SAKE! (L)this! ;** kisses oh wow i'm gonna read again..and again...and again... (; heh! -- Shippy Angel
This was awesome! The whole "must crinkle" thing made me laugh so hard my roommate thought I was having some sort of fit. Hope to see more. -- Flipper: Squirrel of Doom
wow cute story, any chance of a part 2? -- Sg1Trooper
absolutely loved it! -- Karidian
love this really well written. made me tingle -- irishchick
I loved it.I kept thinking wtf lol. -- Mary
This was great. I liked it more than most author's non-parody attempts. Got any more Stargate fanfic I can visit? -- Sandy
That was awfully sweet, and cute, and funny. And I liked it even though I don't really know the characters that well. Great "drabble" Spi! -- Lizzyshoe
That was BRILLIANT! Totally loved it! Well done! :) -- Nikki
LOL! great parody. very funny fic -- Natters
I loved it. So glad to happen on your work. -- Zoser
Good job, and I don't think it reads like a parody to me. -- Jadie
Aww *squees and cheers* Brilliant situation; wonderful dialogue; beautiful S/J interaction; very funny humour. You really have to write a second part for this! Really. You do. At the hotel, maybe. This is going down as a favourite - it's just ace. -- Bekki Beekeeper
you HAVE to update this ASAP! i'm loving it!! and Kerry...gr! how annoying! I love sam and jack in the back seat doing the 'crossword' LOL and donuts!! lol too funny! please update this real soon!! -- prinnie
That was truly very sweet and fluffy. Very nice. :-D -- JazzyMcWier
he Great story. Some brilliant lines in there. -- adafrog
great story -- Araviss
Absolutely wonderful! Very well written. Love how you write Kerry's character, lol. Please do a sequel or continuation. You can't leave it here! -- debcole
Beautiful! -- Jennifer Carter
hey, really enjoyed this - i hope you continue it or write more SG fic!! -- sharim
This isn't a one shot, is it? cuz if it is, then im gonna be vry sad cuz im really likeing this. and donuts is actually spelled doghnuts. lol. -- Darth Tater
Author's response: Actually it's 'doughnuts', but in a crossword puzzle 'donuts' is more likely. ;)
lol...you're too hard on yourself. I love it. Would actually love to read more if it, should you ever continue. *pointed wink* - Silver
Yes, GOD I loved this one ! This is so out of line, but SO how they are. I could really see them in this backseat! Are you planning to continue this ? PLEASE ?! -- kimsmama
Very , very good , well done. -- Dave
LOL! If this wasnt a "parody" it would so suck...but as its a "parody" it rocks! I have read almost every SJ story written out there....ok at least 3/4 :P but my point is this is the best parody I have read! So my question comes down to this *cough* ok not a question....its a...command :P Write a sequel! -- Kayla
I love the mental gymastics they went through. I love this bit of unlikely fluff. We can wish. -- Jadie
Great chapter. -- Sci Fi Fan Gillian
haha...keep it down...great story...pete's prety oblivious...tee hee... -- delicatefade
EEEEEEEEEEEEE! *squeels like a fangirl* YAYAYAYA -- Q
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHAhahahahahaha -- SamandJackForever
God that was good, made me chuckle. Keep writing. -- Arrant Schemata
LMAO! BRILIANT -- Equinox-SGC
Good chap! ROTFLMAO! -- KaylaML
That's the hottest parody I've read in a long long time. -- Kim
TERRIFIC!!!! -- STARBUCK
Just stumbled on to this story - what a gem! Loved the writing (Jack so distracted by her hand touching his thigh...and Sam letting part of her brain crinkle while the rest was kissing...). Priceless! Please write more S&J fan fic - you definitely have a talent for expressing them in words. -- YellowTang
Awesome! Camouflaged back seat kissin' in front of Pete and Kerry- my idea of a good time. This was great. :) :) :) -- TLWROX
Hilarious parody...and very sweet and sappy. A strange combination, but you've managed to do it. Good job. I especially like the "that would be bad" and the crinkling. Poor Pete, driving, not suspecting a thing. I really think I like Kerry (but not for Jack). At least she told it to him like it is. She's pretty smart on the show. I do want to strangle her in this story though. Great work! -- sgater926
it was so cute. You have the characters down pat. I think that you need a sequel for this. Leave it to Kerry to know exactly what is going on and of course Pete is oblivious. -- AT FAN
Hehee...another great one. What I love about this is that even though it's a parody - and even though the characters do things other than they'd be inclined to do on the show - it's still very credible. The speech patterns (and again, Jack's jokes...particularly the "I'll write small" thing - lol!) are perfect, and so it reads very smoothly. Oh, how I *wish* this is how things'd gone!
Still, I have to wonder how things would have gone down once they got to the hotel. Jack just goes off to share a room w/ Kerry, and Sam with Pete? That could get...hm...something. Ever thought about a sequel? -- silver
author's comment: yeah, that's rather why it stops where it does! There's just no graceful way to get out of that one.
hahah loved it! Crinkle, crinkle, must crinkle lol great work!--Jess O'Neill-SGC
Hilarious! though a bit unlikely. Fun to read. And I love the Kerry part, I honestly believed her to be some sort of bug. hahaha great parody! -- Miekie
great story -- dave f
It's great. I'm falling of my seat laughing. Keep writing ;) -- Macgirl
I always enjoy humor & ship. I just wished the story would continue!!!!! -- siamjane
Very well written. I would love to find out how the rest of the weekend went! -- nessacon
I thought it was pretty funny... Well written too. Parodys can be really bad if they're not written just right, and you hit the nail on the head with this one. Love it! -- Rocket chick
That was a really sweet, really cute story! And I so can imagine Jack's laugh! Thanks for this story, it put a smile on my face! -- UgzY
I must say that I enjoyed it. One hundred percent. :) I'm supposed to be working/doing schoolwork, but I find it very hard to care at the moment. :) Thanks for a fun, fluffy, non-common-sense fic. :D -- Jessie88
My god that was unimaginabley adorable! *melts* You deserve a cookie. -- hbt123
Ah. Wonderful romance! I have a grin on my face. -- BettyHall223
Great characterizations - fun, thanks! -- tagger
Have I told you you're brilliant today? I love this story. I tell all my other S/J friends to read it. *hugs* -- Lizzy
Absolutley amazing! Great story. -- Lesley
Too funny! Your sense of humor, writing style, and comedic timing are amazing - you're quickly becoming my new favorite fanfic writer!!! Thanks for sharing and keep writing, please. I'd lavish more gushing praise on you, but there's still more to read.... -- Cole J (colej55 on LJ)
Had me grinning like a maniac by the end. Thanks. -- Josephine
This was great ... what a hoot! I'm still chuckling... :o) -- Sue
You get an A minus because I had to highlight the font to hid the background heart but it sounds so much like SG-1, you still get an A. -- Jadie
Hi Spiletta! Let me know honestly how I did with these characters, on or off list. You did brilliantly! There was Jack, there was Daniel, all in my head from your story...This was Jack most definitely: "Heard? Yes. Understood? No." This was SO part of the SG-1 universe...and gave me a giggle :) Nice metaphor here: Carter didn't answer, but the ground did. It jumped a bit and shook itself like a wet dog. *shippery sigh* Lovely! And your first SG1 fic! Great! And the next one will be posted...? -- Aud
That was good. - Sci Fi Fan Gillian
Very nice! I loved it! ~The Twilight Writer
I think this is my favorite line: ...Archeologists had the survival skills of lemmings...Of course, the clever foreshadowing was amusing too. -AnneRose
nice...I like -- Black-mustang3
good - nice characterizations -- mc
Just great, a loverly story well done. -- Dave F
I love the way you leave things unsaid. That can be frustrating if done in the wrong way, but here it's just right, because with Jack a lot of things do go unsaid. Well done! -- Bekki Beekeeper
lol...loved the "heard? yes. Understood? no." line, and also the bit about archaeologists having the survival skills of lemmings. *G* Funny stuff, and very Jack. -- Silver
Liked it a lot. -- Zoser
Short and sweet. Was this really your first Jack pov? Cause it's very good. -- Waiting for Pete
How funny...never thought there could be anything good about leeches. Guess I was wrong. -- Alanesian
very enjoyable, thanks for writing! it's my fave cliche for SJ -- unsigned
That was so wonderful! I loved, loved, loved it! -- gater62
Clap, clap, clap! -- i.m. nell
Really great. Adventure and S/J in equal measures. Very nicely done and wonderfully well-written in character. I really enjoyed it. :) -- Rachel500
fanstastic fic, this is the way season 7 should've gone, no Shanahan and things like that, with 200 being real and not just TPTB making fun of SJ shippers (exactly what happened at JAG with their 200 too). -- VisualIDentificationZeta
I really liked this story! Just enough of the angst, but funny and sweet. Great ending! -- caligate
Oh my god. I never thought in a million years i would SMILE at a story with a stargate/gateroom/dhd wedding! That has to be the best clichefic I've ever read! Way to freakin' go! I actually BELIEVED it. You are my new fic hero. wee! -- gaeley
This was very entertaining! Well written, and I thought you got Jack and Sam perfectly! All the UST, and cute little looks and grins, and everything! And, there was even some action/adventure thrown in! Great job! Thanks! -- megmeyer
Excellent! -- BettyHall223
Very Very nice. -- dp
Wonderful piece of work, great moments and perfect characterizations. Totally enjoyed the ebb and flow of sane and insane ust and the kiss. The wedding was a hoot and a real surprise. Excellently written! -- spacegypsy1
i love this story, so cute! good work -- shweir rule
A wonderful little romp with my favorite couple - disaster can be fun! -- Zoser
WOW! This was absolutely brilliant I loved every second of this fic...well done :) -- mara-anni
FANTASTIC! Quite wonderfully done, and I love how it ends up at "200" :) Thanks so much for not having them just jump into bed together, too! -- SJAuthor
Very simply and nicely said. Thanks. -- spacegypsy1
That was wonderful. Very good. -- Shinki
Very nicely done! -- SJAuthor
Hey, pretty darn good. If you have more to say about this, I'd be happy to read it. - J
This is nice. I think you've well-captured Robin's personality, and you've also shown a softer side of Faith. This could be the start to a fantastic relationship, and you've portrayed it well; it's almost as though Wood brings out the alternative personality in Faith. I love it. Keep writing; you've got some talent here. -- slayerfest
I know nothing about any of these characters or the series, but this was another excellent fic. Why don't you write something you can sell!-- Kim
This Is great, simply great -- Davide
Peachy, Spiletta. Your characterisations are spot on and I really enjoyed this. Thanks. -- elem
I really like it. You explain things very well. Keep going! -- SweetChaos
Awesome Spiletta. You've reminded me how much I miss and like Willow. Your characterization was spot on, esp. with the Willow speak. Andrew was funny. Nice peek in to Kennedy's POV -- Saffron
I think it's great. Well worth the wait. -- Q
Wow! Very well done. I love the way you weaved your story around the dialogue of season 7. The characters were real and things flowed naturally. Nice work and I hope to read more from you soon! -- willowfan
Very nice! I like the brat, I just wish they'd had the time to show more about Kennedy, just like you did. Unfortunatly we know so little about her. 'The Killer in Me' was a nice episode, but what i feel is missing is a 'potential' episode so that we'd get to know them better - Vi, Rona, Shannon and such..(and of course Kennedy) to know where they came from and how they got to Sunnydale - anyway just my humble opinon. But no... Spike and his uninteresting problems got far more screen time. Also like the pictures and such inside the story... that has a nice touch to it. -- Janice
Wow. Just... I've been reading fanfic for a while, very, very few tend to make the impression that *this* did. I'm trying to think of stuff I can say that would make sense but none of it seems adequate. I'll try, anyway, and if this review seems incoherent blame the fact that I'm still soaking in the afterglow. This has got to be one of the most beautifully written, well thought out, amazingly articulated, descriptive stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. The way you managed to tie the various inbetweens into the real action of the show, all from Kennedy's very in-character view, and use real quotes was just fantastic. Kennedy on the show was interesting - in this fanfic she was *real*. Does that make sense or do I just sound crazy? What I'm trying to get across is that you took a fun, but kind of flat character (if the series had continued I think she would have gotten a lot more development) and managed to give her sides - she had quirks, and flaws, and feelings and...
If I had half your talent I would die happy.
I like angst as much as the next person, but the way you wrote the W/K thing - without going through a long arduous I'll-never-be-good-enough-for-Willow/I'll-never-really-be-able-to-love-Kennedy thing was nice. The Dawn/Kennedy "Welcome to the family" thing was great. One thing in this I really admired was your ability to balance light-hearted almost comic relief scenes with serious dramatic events is great. But, as far as I'm concerned the real beauty in this thing lies in the details. That's what keeps a good story from being a great hunk of fiction. You really managed to make this entire thing come to life with everything you managed to slip in there. The little things do add up - very quickly. And here especially it shows.
I'd really, really love to see a follow-up to this. Post-series, or something. But, honestly, I'd gladly read anything you decide to post. If this is it for you, then... well, it will be kind of disapointing, but you still ought to know how much I appreciated such a good read. Elastically Yours, O -- Elastic O
Hey, nice work! I really appreciate how closely you stuck to canon. Your writing was great and everything flowed very well. No weird bumps that I had to stop and re-read to understand. You did a great job of keeping the character's own voices too. Cheers! -- missmadb
wow i love what you did with this fic i wish more people could see kennedy like we do because there was so much more to her then what people saw -- lele angel03
I read this one today and I encourage everyone to do the same. Great fic! It'll make you want to bust out your Season 7 DVD's and watch them with the blanks filled in. -- Aodnait
This story was a very good rehash of the end of the season from Kennedy's point of view. I think you got her thought patterns and actions down pat. I'd love to see some more of your work posted here. Keep up the good work. -- Buckster
Great fic. I love how you took episodes we have seen but made them unique and added to them, scenes between the characters we didn't see. Very good read. Thanks -- Destiny
So...that was long. And pretty good, welcome to the site. -- Dark_Witch
Terrific Story -- Melissa
Great dialogue, especially Buffy's. Even the non-dialogue was full of Buffy-isms. I wish the show went like that. Your Giles was way better than what Joss did with him. Grrr he's a poop head, Giles, not Joss. ;) -- SinisterChic
I like it! Very nice job with the dialog...got the voices down well. I can't wait for the long one. -- Alanesian
I really loved it. :) I thought you captured their characters perfectly. I'm only sorry that it was as short as it was. I would have loved to see more of Spike and Buffy working things out. -- Sylvia
I really loved this. You 'fixed' so much of season 7. More overt Spuffyiness of course, but also no betrayal by Giles and a long awaited much longer scene from when Buffy rescued Spike from the cave. Was that the most builtup and left mostly hanging scene in canon or not? And also no everyone kicking Buffy out of her own house in a shocking backstab from all she loved and/or protected. Thanks much. If you should decide to continue on into the season end and beyond, I would be there and surely love it. -- twotoe
Wow-- it was different, but not too different. I liked it a lot. :) The part where Buffy and Spike got together again was very sweet, and the kiss... was hot! -- Devin
I loved this fix up of season 7! I hope you decide to continue and fix the whole Spike kind of dying part too! Awesome write and you managed to keep all the characters in their realistic character. I vote for a SEQUEL! -- angon
This is the first story of yours I've read. I hope it's far from the last. I really enjoyed the emotional honesty theme. -- Dreylin
ouch! -- Lizzyshoe
hey loved the short little fic. it was very intresting. good job! my pen name is Magickslayer if you want to read any of my fics and i'll be sure to read more of your stories. -- Magickslayer
This is such an interesting premise! I'd love to see more on the adventures of the nearly slayer, and how she copes and interacts with the gang without letting on. -- AmyK
This was a fun story. And it explained a lot. I disliked QL and ENT but I loved this fic. -- J
Exactly. -- Kim
Excellent, love the way your mind works. Also just found out I could get your updates on My Yahoo, cool. -- Lennie
For some reason this one story caught my eye tonight. ROFL Spiletta it is very funny. Not quite the ending I would have thought of but.... ROFL on the taking away Sam's intellect on his final jump! -- monstermoof4me
Just found this Spi, I loved it. At first ir reminded me of that programme where all the dead people meet in the diner to get their assigments, then I twigged on. Loved you Swiss cheese tagline too. -- Cath
Damn that was lovely, very well done! Very nice touch, I've recced to several folks already! -- GF
I never read this one. I didn't like Quantum Leap, but I love your ending. Good job. I love your explanation for ENT. It does explain alot. -- Jadie
*snerk* This is amusing. - sil
Oh now that was positively priceless! You must post this in as many places as you can so more readers can enjoy it as much as I did. So get on that please. ;-) -- M
I am amused. The Belgium reference just made my day. -- Q
I love BadFic! Pete in a I can't hate to see him get his kind of way. I look forward to the next installment. -- Jadie
lol, that was funny. -- Nerca Beyul
Nicely done. I heartily approve. Though since you put the crossover idea in my head... I'm now wondering what the dynamics would be if (in the spirit of BadFic! not serious) for some unknown plot-required reason Scully & Carter switched places during both an X-File & a standard SG-1 mission... The possibilities for Scully to piss off O'Neill and for Mulder to confuse Carter... heheeheheeeeeeeeee.......... -- Trindajae
That was fun! -- Devi
You really are wonderful, this story had me laughing so damn hard!! LOL. Well done!! Yay for Badfic!Pete, he really is a lot of fun, isn't he? ;-) Well done!! Except now I'm picturing him somehow on Voyager, and it's killing me. Oh, the amusement! -- ladysilverangel
"Really?" Jackson scrunched his eyebrows together. "Well that's troubling."
That is probably the most likely reaction to ever come from Daniel when confronted with Mulder. LMAO!!! -- MF Luder aka Lucy
I think "Badfic Pete Meets the FBI" is hilarious. I love Stargate SG-1 and The X-Files and this cross-over is terrific. I love Badfic Pete. I think you should make this into a series. Seriously. -- wendelah1
Well done, I must say :) I usually stick to the purely SG-1 stories, but this was too cute to pass up! -- SJAuthor
Ok, I have no idea who this Pete is (never watched SG1) but I really love this fic. Poor Scully being on a blind date with such a jerk. Laughing The whole part with Taco Bell had me in stitches. Great fic, Spiletta and I'm looking forward to reading 'BadficPete and the Temple of Doom'. -- Sira
I haven't read any fanfiction this good in months. Seroiusly, well done. *applause* -- riehyanna
Aw nice job =) Reminds me of the show alot =) -- JRose
Pen portrait of a psychopath, Shame about the baby though. --Cath
that was really good i hate how people always portray tess as the bad one keep it up welldone -- harmonyarmenia
Interesting, continue. -- Sarah
That was good. I'd like to read more, but with a different outcome than 4AB -- Victoria
I liked it! Nice to hear Tess's troubled point of view once in a while =) -- JRose
Very good tag. I hadn't ever put the whole Shakespearean twist into the mix. How important Romeo and Juliet has been to their relationship- one of the excuses for the Vegas wedding, her trumped-up reason to break things off, and now Liz's near fatal Romeo jaunt. Very thought provoking- good job. -- ParkerEvanss
Very enjoyable fic. Very enjoyable, VERY well-written fic. Are you considering continuing with this? It could make for really good reading. -- ParkerEvanss
CSI: Middle Earth - Dude, not cool. But funny name. -- Dani
how true. sick and twisted, but true. -- me
Sadly, it was over all too fast. If only it were really this easy to get Captain and First Officer together! -The Away Team.
Your story was...astonishingly wonderful!! I am so very very impressed. The writing, from the more serious moments to the light ones, was fantastic. I congratulate you on a fantastic story. -Kaitz
...I stayed up to 4 am, and yes, read it on a screen. But anyway, I appreciated how carefully you developed the characters...especially Janeway and her struggle to adhere to what she thought was right vs. emotions. Thanks for your work! -Alex
Congratulations on your win in Blue Alert. ...Good story. You did a good job... -KJ
Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed this. Enough that I spent the entire afternoon yesterday reading it when I had a lot of other things I should have been doing. Very, very nice. I must admit 'ancestral gemstones' got me chuckling, but it did seem a bit jarring. You obviously spent a lot of time and effort on this and it shows. I thought you kept the characters pretty well in canon, which is not easy to do, as I know. -Mary S
I have been reading your story for the last two days, as I find time, and have been enjoying it *immensely*!!! I think it is very unlikely that any other story will win my vote in the Blue Alert contest, in fact. Thanks for writing such a terrific story! -Shelley
Thank you! - What a great romp - great sap but not sticky - and what a wonderful touch you have with humor - made me LOL not just from the humor, the references, but because of the subtlety - no heavy hand to get your point across!! You Star Trek expertise obviously goes far beyond Voyager. -Molly
It may be long, but it is really wonderful. I read it for the Blue Alert contest, and it took me a few days, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially loved the interplay between the two clueless groups, which everyone here will have to read in order to understand. -Shelley
Wow. I am at a loss of words, just wow. I spent a lot of hours reading this, unable to tear myself away. Wow. I even skipped uni because I couldn't stop reading, not to mention breakfast and lunch. An amazing story that certainly is among my all-time-favs. Thank you so much for sharing!!! ~Katie *still in awe*
You owe me some hours of sleep! I kept reading it although I was really tired. I just couldn't put it away. THANK YOU for writing it. I really loved it, loved the plot, loved the writing and everything about it. It certainly was a huge amount of work you put into this story. And for that I say THANK YOU AGAIN. I really appreciate it. -AnneJoy
...I loved it! It's beautifully written - and it's going into my 'keeper' water-proof wallet, or as my husband calls it, "Gill's Thrills n Spills Folder" ;)... -Gilly
If nobody's looking at your bulletin board, then I hope that someone's at least reading your excellent fanfiction. Scratch that, excellent *fiction*, period; one would not have to be a Voyager fan to appreciate the depth and complexity of your novel. I say this as someone who was an English major in college and is currently a fulltime journalist...I must confess that I have read "Filling the Void" twice within the last week; the first time, I read it in one marathon sitting that lasted all night. In fact, when my husband got out of bed to get ready for work, he found me in our office clicking away at your story. Anyway, I just want you to know how highly I value the effort you put into the writing of this novel: it really shows in the final product. Also, I have to give you props for the respect you've given to the characters; they are true to themselves, and behave in a realistic manner...keep writing: you're doing a fabulous job. -Squirrelly
Filling In The Void by Spiletta42 is a wonderful tale of two star-crossed lovers and the undying devotion of their comical and good hearted crew. For hours I occupied myself with nothing but this fantastic tale and can truly say that this is one of the best pieces of J/C fanfiction that I have ever read! I will also be entering this review on my website; Visit us to hear more reviews on your favorite works of art at www.fanfictionweekly.com -Arielle Pelot
Spiletta42, I'm usually shy about posting on boards like this because English is not my mother tongue. But I feel very strongly about your fanfic, especially your novel Filling The Void, and I really wanted to thank you for it. It was without exaggeration the best J/C fanfic I've ever read. Your thorough examination of the characters impressed me, and the emotions expressed in it affected me very deeply. Before I had read it, I was ready to end reading fanfic at all, because I had encountered so many bad examples of it. So I'd like to encourage you to write much more of your stories. You are a very talented writer, you have the ability to affect your audience emotionally, and most of all it's great fun to read what you've written. Please go on writing! -A fan from Germany
Taking advise to read this late in the evening, I spent a whole night giggling not being able to put it down. Very entertaining indeed! -LadyBugDate
Okay, I admit it... I haven't read "Freedom of Choice." I got distracted with the "Filling the Void" link. I've only read a small portion of it so far, but DANG. Drink warning next time, please. I nearly ruined this mostly-functional keyboard my boss has seen fit to leave me alone near... - Trindajae
I couldn't stop reading....I was late for work today because I couldn't put it down. -Spring
Very in-depth character study of the lead characters. Extremely well-written with a satisfying conclusion. -mj
I really LOVED Spiletta's "Void." I was laughing so hard at some points that I had tears in my eyes and I forwarded the link to a few friends. Spi, give your muse a hug for me. S/he/it deserves one. -Angie
Excellent story. The characters were true to their tv counter-parts and your style is excellent. One problem though. I found the whole "lets contact the Romulans" a bit hard to believe. If they could simply just open a conduit anytime they wanted for messages, don't you think they would have done it before then. And what about the Midas-Array (however that is spelt). Your story lost part of its credibility there. But otherwise, I thought it was great. -- Mia
Hello, I usually do not write authors of stories, but I couldn't just not say something about this one. I have only recently been reading J/C stories (about 2 months). I have become quite obsessed about it. I have probably read 400 stories so far, need I say I spent way to much time on the internet. I am rambling. The story "Filling the Void" was great, I loved it. It took me four hours to read it, but it held my attention the whole time. I like the way you used the books as part of the background (I've read the books too). The characterizations were right on the mark. I've read several of your stories, and this is the best by far, better than ANY story I have ever read. Anyway, great work, thanks. -- Amye
An amazing story filled with great writing. It has all the components of great literature; it has humor, drama and the kind of love that is meant to span the ages. Fantastic work and one of the best Janeway/Chakotay fics I've ever read. Throw my hat off to you Spiletta and bow in front of your creative genius. -- Aleja
Highly enjoyable, quite believable (even if in an "If only!" kinda way). I loved the ties-in with Christie Golden's Dark Matters trilogy, and how suspicious Riker was about the message from the Romulans. I could believe he'd have a grudge against Janeway for being one of the few women to turn him down. Excellent fic, and one to be read over and over again, as I keep finding new gems. -- Aussie73
That was really good. Now when my teachers ask why my homework is not done, I can say I just read one of the best JetC fanfics :D -- Charlie Brown
To be perfectly honest, I am one of those bad fans who reads stories a lot, but never bothers to review. I have to break tradition for this story, though, as it was without a doubt the best VOY fic I have ever read. I am a J/C fan, but I hate the stories where they break character/jump straight into bed/somehow realize in the space of two or three minutes (or a short-lived near-death experience) that they love each other. This story actually made a relationship plausible, because it
wasn't overly sudden. This story was also hilarious.
I thought that the characters were all very well-developed, as was the plot line. At the end it perhaps got a little bit too far-fetched, but it didn't matter, because by that time the reader was hooked. I could almost pretend that it was canon - it was not nearly as far-fetched as some of the stupid things that TPTB have made the characters do. Also, it was funny without demeaning any of the characters. Frankly, it was just damn good. -- Katelyn
I absolutely loved your story. You were able to remain true to each of the characters personalities which made it a fascinating read for a true Voyager fan. I found it humourous, touching, and insigtful. Thanks for writing a story that captured my imagination as well as a story that is as it should be! -- S. C.
I love this story! I have read it over and over many times this summer. Xanadu is another story that I really enjoy and read many times as well. Are you going to write more Voyager or SG-1? -- Heather
Wow! Its taken me ages to read it! But well worth every late night! lol Absolutely fantastic! :D Thank you! -- Nix
Ah, Married Quarters is one of my all time favorites. I liked your take on it, except for the end, darn it! No, no possibilities!!! Carpe Diem and all that! *sigh* Janeway is quite the stick in the mud sometimes. Anyway I had to laugh at the line about her heart hitting the level 10 force field that is protocol. ;-) -Anne Rose
The first story on your list that I read was Misconception. I have to say that I am so glad I did...I could see this story play out before my eyes. Chakotay and Kathryn were exactly right. It was angsty but not without hope. You have such a wonderful way with a phrase. This one is my favorite. It's so descriptive and it's so appropriate. WOW! I'm still enjoying it....I look forward to reading more of your stories. -Jadie
This was a beautiful rendition of a familiar theme. You have made this plausible and gentle and touching and loving. Thank you -Roses
I love, love love this. Married Quarters is one of my all time favorite so this was certainly a welcomed surprise. More would be nice please- can't you tell I'm greedy. -Dakota
Ah, the Married Quarters story! *g* I enjoyed your take on my story (and thank you, btw, for the courtesy of asking my permission beforehand) -- interesting to see how a similar plot changes in another's hands. A very enjoyable read. -Shayenne
This is so beautifully balanced. She never loses her commitment to being the Captain and all it entails. He, in the end respects that. ....and in the middle...oh my...angsty but lucious, sensual and loving...from both. Thank you -Roses
I really liked both of yours, especially 'Misconception'. Shayenne's story has always been one of my favourites, but I like your version just as well. You gave it just the right amount of angst. -Mary S.
A great twist to the story. I could feel Kathryn's pain as she had to pretend to be married to the guy that wished she was married to. How sad. I just don't understand why Paramount or the braintrust of Berman/Braga couldn't give them a happy ending. -Jenn
...it was like reading a story I've written in my head a million times... -MsBeast
::wipes away tears in eyes:: This story is wonderful! I don't really know what else to say besides that I'm adding it to my favorite stories list! -Diosa Alexia
Marvelous! I loved it! Five gold stars and a smiley face sticker for this one. I really like your style. -Doec
I really liked it. :) Thanks. -Deltame
Excellent! Hope you're planning on writing more. -DiddyCriddy
It was cute - although I thought the ending was a little abrupt. -Palaixa
Great, great, great! Yes I know you got the idea from Shayenne's, but it is a very good idea, so who can blame you? -- Quadrantje
Beautiful. I especially love the ending, bittersweet and hopeful... nicely done. -- TheOpportuneMoment
aww come on - so close :( -- Ayjah
a wonderful story -- aleja21
I love it! -- happychica
Read this one in blue alert-- nice story. Interesting idea. Chak needs to hold on to something this is perfect! Good job -KJ
...very nice; I found the prose getting a little purple, particularly the 'splendid posterior' and 'glorious chest', but what the hell! You kept it mostly in check. -Mary S.
Ooooohhh! Wonderful! Just came across this particular J/C website, and your story. Well, thanks! -Ms. Inspired
I love this story, Spi. I think it's my favourite of your stuff. -Shayenne
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. -- Quadrantje
I loved it! It's so passionate, and sweet and tender, all at the same time. Keep up the great writing! -- Kathy (Your #1 Fan)
It's a beautifull fic!!! I cry when I read it. I read almost all your fics... and I think those are great. I'm from Chile (so I not write very well in english, but my reading skills are very good)and I'm a huge fan of Voyager and J/C. reading your fics (and other I found in internet) I learn a lot of the series finale (in my country still are in the 5 season and then return to the 1... so, I haven't see the final episode, yet). Keep writing. -- lesley
Ok, I loved this fic...BTW, what are Janeway's favorite color, book and Beatles tune? -Kim
Bwahahahahaha! I certainly hope they filled Chakotay and Janeway in on the joke. >8) Very funny stuff. - Anne Rose
Cute story. *So* true of Tom, & *so* true of Chakotay! -Shannon O'Donnell
This was a very acceptable alternative to Filling The Void. I never saw the movie [Greencard], but I did see the Taxi version with Latka and Simka. Cute concept, excellent characterization, except -- Would Janeway actually answer questions like this over an open comm while she was on duty? No, my fault, that would have made the story longer and more complex. So, good job, Master! -Mrs McCoy
I like the ending :) -- Marie
Another winner! So beautiful and that's all he sees when he looks at her-- love it! Good luck. - KJ
Very touching -- Marie
I've never seen an ode to a bathtub. :-) Good work. -Jadie
First, I think I'm on record as not liking poetry. However, I did enjoy this...Janeway would have been a lot happier, and more mentally stable if she'd taken them both out of 'storage'. IMHO - Anne Rose
It was great. -- Carly
your poem is great and real -- marie-lise
Normally I don't like dead Chakotay stories, but this one was done so well. Thanks. -Karen
This fic answered well the questions I had about why the Admiral went back. You pulled on my emotions the whole time. It is hard to say good job, but it is a well written fic. I was very sad, but not horribly so. -Jadie
>>I did it. I wrote a dead Chakotay fic. I did not enjoy it. But I did it. -Spiletta42
I'm glad you did it. I'm already on record as saying that I don't mind sad stories. It's not that I like them, necessarily. I certainly wouldn't say that I prefer them. But I appreciate them. Some of us read to escape life. Some to celebrate it -- in all its forms. Life is sad sometimes. So I guess stories should be, too. As far as capturing the poignancy of life, I think you've done an excellent job, Spiletta42. Thanks for posting. -janezy
Whoa! You wrote that since your last email? I loved the crack about not being able to look at blue cheese the same way again, LOL! To say I'm impressed would be an understatement! Thanks, -Gilly :)
LOL, never seen "insecticide" used in smut before! Next time I'll have to come up with an even more impossible answer when you ask for a word! Nicely steamy. -Shayenne
Good one! Very hard choosing who to vote for in this. Love when they get together. Good luck in the contest. -KJ
Hello, I loved the story Ithaca! :) And I liked the comparisation with Odysseus. It's very creative, and it reminds me, somehow, of Chakotay's warrior legend. First an angry warrior and then Odysseus, sounds pretty much like stories Chakotay'll tell. This story does make me wonder about how they found the couple on that planet... Was it (naked) in each other's arms or grinning at each other but fully dressed? I guess I'll leave it up to my imagination... ;) Thanks for the nice story! -- Dominique Janssen
it was good...but more!!! -- mysteriousmage
very nice...the more I read your fics the more I love them... you are a truly gifted writer. -- aleja21
Aw... that's so cute =P I wanna know what happens next! As usual, you capture "them" perfectly. -- Liz
A bit short, and what was that final line he didn't tell her before? -- Quadrantje
Aww! That was short and sweet. Very cute, Spi! -- Lizzyshoe
ooh I like the angry warrior story... those two have such potential. -- aleja21
I love those stereotype stories, thanks! It's just a pity that it is so short... -- Alias
Lovely friendship story. Very caring from both of them. -Brianna
I have often wondered what happened at Lake George. I'm sure people have written about it before, but I really liked reading a fic where the friendship was stressed. Such good emotion in such a short fic. Good job! -Jadie
Very sweet-- so happy you acknowledged they both needed this! nice story -KJ
Prudish wuss! We need details. Do it again. -ScaryMoments75
I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit - this is a great little story, plausible, well-written and fun to read. Can't ask for more than that, so pat yourself on the back cuz it's a good one. -Mary S.
AIIIIEEEEAAAA!!!!!! I've been reading J/C fic all day, and that was JUST what I needed to round off the evening! I can go to bed a happy girl now! -- dante_reaver
It made me feel much better about "Endgame". -- yume
I like this ending for the show. -- aleja21
I thought it was light and very sweet. I had thought about writing something like that, but I'm glad I didn't because your's turned out better. -Katie O'Clare
simple and nice -- Katinka
This was very sweet but far too short. Nicely written but could definitely do with a sequel. -- Rachel
With dreams like this, why would one want to be awake? -Sylvia K
Cute story. -KJ
fabulous!!!!!!!!! like all the fics on this page! -- roxy
I like this story and the fact that after Year Of Hell we get to she her accept the watch and see the results unfold. - Jade
Sweet. I don't know why, but that last paragraph just touched me. Great fic, love it. -- Quadrantje
Oh my gosh. Spi wrote a happy ending. -Sylvia
I love it!! A perfect way of Paris pushing them together and getting Janeway's arrogance taken down a peg of two. -Matt
Good one! Paris could definately sink that 'low'. Just, how could he know that line about 'not waiting for a future that may never happen'? I don't think Chakotay would tell anyone about that. -- Quadrantje
oooooo sneaky Tom I like and I think in the case the end result may very well justify the means. -- aleja21
omg I loved that book, I always wondered what she wrote to him -- Scarlet
That was great! It rang true to "canon" such as it is, and yet it was J/C. Very nice. Thanks! -- AnitaLife
You didn't tell what Chakotay's gift was! Again! And I would have loved to see a bit more of the crew's reaction, but it was awesome anyway. Loved the promise she made to herself and the mistletoe stuff. -- Quadrantje
And again you leave an open spot! You never wrote what Kathryn had gotten for Chakotay. Not that that's a crime, it just gets me curious. I liked the story. -- Quadrantje
I really liked this cute Christmas tale, nicely written and a pleasure to read. -- Rachel
Oh my what a wonderful Christmas. -- aleja21
Ohhh... that was love. <3
Loved Tom thinking it was his doing! And Chakotay and Kathryn were sweeter than belief. Even though it isn't Christmas, it's always nice to here a good mistletoe tale! -- Curly Fry
I just read your story on the Purple Comet site and wanted to let you know that I liked it! Thatīs the way I like seeing Chakotay, doing something ;-) - Emily
LOL Spi! This is really funny. -Jadie
I think I liked it. -Sylvia
I wasn't too fond of the episodes with this holodeck story, but you made it very interesting. Thanks for sharing. -Mriana, Daughter of the Sixth House of Betazed
Great! Kind of almost makes you wish for a sequel... -- misty_fur
Hey Spiletta, I really liked that one. Anything to do with The Captain Proton theme is ok by me. You handled it very well, and I loved that ending. - Joanie
I think it is magnificent. Pure brilliance on your part. It is original for this particular series and amazing. Please keep up the good work. -- Holly
Woohoo! Very in-character. A bit short, but who needs page after page of technobabble and plot twists? Short and sweet, very sweet! -Doec
Cool! I thought you had a real grasp for their characters. - Hermione
Dear God, you do the best J/C fanfic! I love the light tone to it and the affection displayed. And I understand the attraction of tank tops and drinking coffee (she DOES look kickass in a crisis, doesn't she?) and leaning back in the arms of a man. Yep, good fic! :D --Nenya Culariel
u r a nerd who needs a girlfriend -- u-suck
Author's comment: I'm definitely a nerd and I quite possibly suck, but I think I'll pass on the "girlfriend" if it's all the same to you. -- Spiletta42
cool, i really liked it! Chakotay has such a dirty mind hidden beneath his sweet personality. i love j/c fics like this. and i read the other reviews- do not listen to them. You DO NOT write badly at all, and this is a very good story. but just think how dysfunctional a starship would be if the enviornmental controls were always off line! lol :) -- Linwe Ringeril
aw! How cute and 'hot' (2 meanings of hot there, that is...heehe...) was that?! i LOVED it! Shame it wasn't any longer ;) oh well..let's just say it was short and powerful!! :D -- Heleen (aka insanity-on-demand)
Great story.. I love the internal dialogue. -- Ayjah
He-he. So great. -- G.S.1307
This was fantastic! ;D I thoroughly enjoyed, lovely lovely writing... and well, hot! lol Do you write anything longer though? One-shots are great, but I love to lose myself in a thoroughly lengthy fanfiction, I do hope you write some longer pieces... at least consider it maybe? :D Either way, this was fabulous. -- Aleia McKingston
It was great, Short and sweet -Jo
Very interesting...We need more D/7. apurate, ya! -EnsignAbby
Wow! nice story! I love the way you deftly inserted comments and it sounded real!!! -- Talitha
Good story...You wove so many of the different crew members into it, while still preserving the J/C relationship. I think you did a great job. -Brianna
great!!! -Art
Whoooo.... hot! LOL Not so fond of the J/C moments and all that, but eh, whatever floats your boat, right? I liked Seven's reactions to the Doctor being in her body and making love to her. *g* That was cool. And steamy. And... yeah. I'm sure you get the picture. *g* Poor Harren! LOL I loved that! As soon as Kathryn said there was empty space between Seven and Tuvok, I *knew* Seven was going to be screaming! LOL All in all, very good! -Nicole
awesome fic um this maybe a weird question but do you know Olivia Spallitta um anyway great fic. -- Rich Pitoniak
This is just super. Go read it, people. I'll never look at Chell in the same way again, and I loved the relationship between 7 and the Doctor. -- Mandy
And it was so believeable and not gory at all - enjoyed the story - thanks. -- Susie
erm,well.. yes,I think I'll go and take a cold shower now. yes. good idea. cough... thank you - marion
i like your writing styl, it's not exactly original, but its not exactly not original...lol. anywho, just figured that i'd let you know that i like your stories. -- Munki
Some how I think the bridge crew would still know he got some. Hell I'm sure when she comes out with mused hair they'll know. Great piece. -- aleja21
I read it. It's awful. -Cress
Sad, very very sad. -Fingers
This is a pretty good story but it is just not right. Seven really did love him and this story makes it seem like this is a phase not real and it makes her seem like a slut. and beside that Chakotay could have hooked up with the captian long ago. Over all its good but it just doesnt stick to storyline that has been created over the years. -- tater salad
Author's comment: Years or hours? That's okay, it's a difference of opinion that makes a horse race. -- Spiletta42
Very good, and not as depressing as I expected. I haven't seen too many fics that touch on the timeline the Admiral lived through, and this covered the thoughts and feelings of all the parties well. It also reminded me of Renaissance Man when the Doctor said that he would like to spend more free time with Janeway. I can also see why J and C didn't get together after Seven's death. P.S. I am patiently anticipating the C/Sveta fic. Take your time, though. - Jessica
Oy. Well, that was... depressing. LOL Slightly gag-worthy (in the C/7 part. Not even J/C is gag-worthy) and quite upsetting. My fave line, tho: "I loved her, too, Doctor. I loved her too." *g* Of course I'm taking it to mean something completely different then what I'm sure you meant, but whatever. *g* Anyway, very well written. I liked it. Not *like* liked it, but I liked it. *g* -NIC
One of the only f/f stories I have read, and I actually liked it. -Jessica
Being a sexually unsatisfied wife of many years, I can say that your words gave me more pleasure than my entire married sex life has given me. Thank You! It was just what I needed, for it took my breath away. -- (name removed)
Author's comment: I'm not too sure what to say to that last review, except to perhaps suggest marriage counselling? Or maybe hubby would like to read the fic? I hope things get better for you. --Spiletta42
wow, it was so hot i wanted to be in it for real. -- Caiti
*keels over laughing* I love it! I can even stomach the J/C parts of it, 'cuz it's so dang funny! LOL - Nicole
Funny beyond belief!! -- Lena
Spiletta, this one is great! Unfortunately, I read it after I tucked my 3-year old in for the night and have had to use a pillow to muffle my laughter as so to not wake him up. Absolutely hillarious! Loved it! -- Greetings From Dany
very interesting and the ending brought a smile to my face -- aleja21
Were can I find a man like Chakotay (sigh) -- aleja21
This is a lovely sequel sqeee -- aleja21
And its sequel . . .
This fantasy captivates the true harmony of pleasuring and pleasing each other immensely. It is an emotional, spiritual and very physical connection of souls and genitals. -- unsigned
OMG that was nice and steamy and a great addition to the other stories. -- aleja21
I read your story "Advice from the Lovelorn" and wanted to you let you know how much I liked it. Just the thought of Q having romantic difficulties and coming to Janeway is hilarious!
Nicely done and thanks for sharing with us! Best regards, -Cait
This was great, but I wouldn't have minded if there had been a longer J/C scene at the end. But hey, I guess that's what my imagination is for. -- aleja21
Very nice, now be a good girl and write whats going on with Picard and Crusher! Come on you know you want to, ok maybe its just me that wants you too, but isn't that enough! - Phancy
Very nice story. Q gave me a couple of chuckles. :) - Mriana, Daughter of the Sixth House of Betazed
Always loved Q stories. They're the best. Even if this one doesn't have that much Q-ishness in it, I still like that he just shows up, makes everything work out (at least in Kathryn's mind) and pops out to go "help" someone else. Well done =) -- Yael
hey i really like this fic, short but sweet and i love it when Q gets involved. -- freya
Great fic!! Love Q, its nice how you've managed to keep him in character and a goodie! Only down side - too short!! -- Cookie
I like this story. It has a good premise, realism, plot. The only thing
I think I would change is the transition from Q's lovelife to Kathryn's. I
know it is kinda supposed to, but it seemed to move really fast. I would
imagine that Q wouldn't start out talking about how Q looks at him, but
would start more philosophically, more drawn out. I would put that bit in
right after he asks "Kathy" for advice, something about what kind of
difficulties he is having, what her not looking like that at him entails.
Do you understand what I mean? You did a very good job of capturing the
characters' voices, as usual, but I think they would have more to say.
Nice work. -- Kajee
This is the sort of feedback I especially enjoy.
She called me on the rushed nature of the fic, which reminds me of the
very true saying: There are no great writers, only great
rewriters. I didn't put this fic through a tough beta process, and it
shows. Thanks for the excellent feedback, Kajee!
ok I liked it until the ending was too loose. It is good but a few more sentences would finish it beautifuly. -- Frost
I love that comment from Kathryn, or rather, how Tom feels about that. Very sweet. I wouldn't have minded if it was longer though. -- Quadrantje
I liked this little fic a lot. I like the decision-making process you outlined and the outcome of that process. I think that would be exactly what Kathryn would think and do. I only gave it an A- , because I like longer stories and hope to give you a reason for writing a sequel to this. ;) What happens in the NC-17 part? ;) Hugs, Kayjay
Great, love the twist at the end. Maybe it could have started a bit earlier, like when Q appeared, but I like it this way too. -- Quadrantje
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH That was cute!!!!!!!!!! Made my work morning go by faster to be reading some of your fics. -- Chancie
This was lovely, and I wouldn't mind trading spaces with Janeway and spending that shore leave with Chakotay on a beach. -- aleja21
I liked it, the dialogue is crisp and fits well with the characters on the show. It finishes the episode well. In most of the TV episodes I felt a desire to know what happened next and I felt that there were a lot of missing bits that I would like filled in. Your piece and others you have written fill in the emotional bits well. -Cath
A very sweet little fic! Made me smile :) -Sam
Repetition of "But at what cost?" is unecessary; it doesn't help with emphasis. Otherwise very nice! Keep up the good work! -Squirrelly
It's good; a tad too short. Why is it pg13? it's more like G or PG -Calhoun
Short, sweet, and to the point. This would have made a very nice last scene in canon. It is how the two would have reacted. -Susan C.
I doubt the Chakotay would have been that forgiving of Janeway for using his feelings to the advantage of the ship. To me, true absolution would have to be an out and out conflict where Janeway would have to face up to what she did and why. However, given that cannon normally doesn't follow the lines of reason and true human interaction, this could, in theory, fit in fairly well with the actual ep. -Matt
I think this fic is wonderful... no mushyness and simply well written. I'm not saying that romance is bad or anything like that, but I'm just not so keen on those. So far, more or less all your fics are great, superb! Keep writing -Alex
I like this addition. Too often we are left hanging without a resolution that really ties things up. I really like this ep, but I didn't think to write anything to fix it. I love the way that they both think they need to apologize too. Good work. -Jadie
Lovely! Simple, subtle and so effective. This is a lovely piece, sparing with the prose but lyrical and deft. My favourite passage illustrates this perfectly: "Small liberties were taken..." More is implied than said, but it's powerfully erotic, and like the rest of the story, beautifully effective. Well done! -Mia Cooper
Maybe it was short but it said so much. I can picture the scene and from now on that is my version of Hunters. - Freya
Ooh, I really loved this story-- it was just pure romance, and really well-done, at that. The narrative is serious, but playful, as in this line: "A date. He didn't want to read too much into her word selection. Oh, who was he fooling. He very much wanted to read too much into that choice of word. " I really loved that. Also, when they're dancing, the way they touch each other and talk totally gave me goosebumps. I especially liked the phrase "small liberties were taken." I also loved it when Chakotay called her "My Kathryn". And it has a lovely title and ending to tie it all in together. Finally (and this is kind of silly), I like how you say "Love has no end" instead of "The End". Call it goofy, but I thought it ended the whole thing on the right note. This little fic was pure sweetness. Great job! : ) - Squirrelly
This is another good j/c fic - Dave Freestone
Interesting to say the least. It was sweet but short. Very nice. -Abby M.
*sigh* This is a great story and ep addition. I love the honesty of this part: "A date..." -Jadie
I enjoyed your story very much. I liked the way you handled the situation slowly, rather than a big kiss and all is well. I can see Chakotay saying something like the "As long as I live..." line (if this were not an alternate universe). I also think the end works nicely, the promise of the future without the big dramatic ending. I would have also liked to see the story drawn out more, but with the same touch. An enjoyable story. -Molly
A good story. I especially like the line: "There were times..." -Cait N.
.I LOVED your economy of words in this piece.Saying so much with so few words. Simply elegant. Very well done....and no spelling/grammar errors. I always like that in a story.....thanks for writing this wonderful piece. I truly enjoyed it. -Myla Jane
Big sigh What a beautiful scene! The last one - the date. I can just picture it all thanks to your lovely description. And the last sentence... "When they finally parted, foreheads still touching, they each knew that whatever the future held, they would face it together." ...just wonderful! I love the gentle way Chakotay pushes back her barriers, probably without even knowing that she was thinking about erecting them. And then her decision to ask him to dance was the icing on the cake - she indulged her feelings and threw protocol out the airlock. Thanks for writing this... it made me smile. :-) -Dawn
Now there is a picture painted from the heart. if only things had gone that way. I am a sucker for romance and this has it in plenty. - fiona barnes
"As long as I live, you will never be alone." Yes, that was much better than you have lots of time, or whatever stupid thing he said on the show. Would that shift be the creation of an AU? ;-) -Anne Rose
AWWWWWWWWW!!! *feels all warm and fuzzy and pro-J/C* You do write a good story, Spiletta! :D - Ensign Nenya Gabriel
It's sweet, but it doesn't really seem like something that could happen on the show; too sudden. That 'love has no end', great. That's a good one. But as a stand alone (AU) story, it would be great. -- Quadrantje
One word -- SEQUEL!!!!!!!!! -- Brian
Are you channelling Douglas Adams? This is great! Surreal and quirky and witty in all the right places. Case in point: Once inside, she met a pungent man with a bad toupee who offered, rather confusingly, to rent her a mechanical sheep, unless he could meet her needs personally, of course, in which case there would be no charge. Cute use of the backstory from Mosaic, and nice poke at Enterprise as well. And excellent use of the word 'smegging'. I've always loved that word. The part where Kathryn becomes obsessed with fixing Holly while Chakotay gets homey is just like New Earth ... except the holodoc never popped up there like holo-Rimmer, thank God. I also liked the parallel with Admiral Janeway when Kathryn starts tampering with temporal travel. You've done really well bringing in elements of the show along with insider backstory while being true to the Red Dwarf universe. And a language in smells. So lateral, yet so logical. Great work! [too bad that bit's not mine; it's from the novel]...I've been delighted by your stories before. You have a deft touch and you're the master of the subtle twist. I remember your work long after I've read it. - Mia Cooper
This is a funny story. Although I don't know anything about Red Dwarf or Rob Grant and Doug Naylor so I'm sure I lost out on some jokes. Although I felt it was a bit too much Red Dwarf and not even Voyager, it was still nice. - Jadie
This was one of the strangest J/C fics I have ever read, but it made me laugh so hard I spilled my coffee so I have to vote for it. The cat civilization was great. - Freya
This was a really funny story, very reminiscent of Douglas Adams for me. The only problem was that I wasn't sure what was an original joke from the author and what was a reference to a running gag on Red Dwarf. Regardless, I thought it was really hysterical, with good narration and, from what I can tell, a good merging of the two storylines. I really loved the part about the grey paint chips, and the cats' legend with the "savoury doughnuts". That was pure comedy. : ) - Squirrelly
Ah, loved the cats. Loved the holographic idiot roommate. I was quite happy that Kathryn was not alone. Nice job stranding Chakotay with her. "One thing's for certain. I can't imagine any universe where I wouldn't be in love with you." *sniffle* I love that. -Anne Rose
Bizarre and unlikely, yet wonderfully well written and something I've been hoping for since I began reading fan fiction. The ending was a bit abrupt, however (that means write a sequel!) -Abby
Interesting premise. Good writing. The Doctor's character was great! I could just hear his voice in my head while I was reading this. - Cait
