The Scriptorium

I'm so sorry to take so long to respond ClaireClaire! I've been having computer problems at work (there was actual wiring required to fix it). Just as I finally settled down to read it (I was half way through) I was forced to work! It shouldn't be allowed on my birthday! Once I was finally home I was on the phone with my family until one—as you know we can talk! Today has been nuts trying to catch up from all the time lost.

Hey, Birthday Girl! :-D No worries. I thought things might be crazy at work, or you might be having computer problems, or you might be busy with family. I hadn't realized it would be all three. *g* Sorry you were forced to work on your birthday. Same goes for the stress that was involved in playing catch up. If I'd known all that, I would have encouraged you to hold off on the feedback. My main concern was that you see the fic (or, at least, know about it) on your special day. :-)

I love it! It's my favourite!

Really? I was actually going to apologize because I was thinking it didn't measure up to some of the others! *g* Well, I'm thrilled that you're happy with your story! :-D

I love the crown icons! Too pretty!

Ah, thanks! I'm glad you like them! :-) I probably shouldn't say it, but they literally took five minutes to make. They were the easiest part of the whole story. *g*

You used the Queen! Heeeeeee!

Well, as soon as you pointed out that the Queen could be used as an action figure, I knew she would be appearing in the next Action Figure story. *VBG*

And the Union Flag! (See you taught me something.)

I have to confess that I wasn't entirely sure about that and actually had to look it up. I mean, I knew that the "Union Jack" wasn't the official name of the flag, but I've always had trouble remembering "Union Flag" for some reason.

Oh my god! The way Mayweather is looking at the flag! His expression is so...like what the fuck, dude? I know I've said this before, but I do not know how you get action figures to be so expressive!

As the photographer/writer, I really shouldn't say this, but that's my favourite picture from the story. It turned out so much better than I had ever imagined, and I crack up whenever I Iook at it.

THE FACT THAT ARCHER NEVER NOTICED THE FLAG!!! Seriously I do not have words for how perfect that is.

I'm glad that amused you. It seemed so Archer somehow. *g*

McKay squirmed uncomfortably. “That’s…not entirely true.” Yes, it is! It so is! You just know that McKay has had a to-do list since he was two and at the top of the list is: ESCAPE FROM CANADA!

Oh, thank Herne! I was afraid that might offend you, but I just couldn't resist. And I think McKay probably did have that on the top of his to-do list by the age of two, so it's not as if it's really that big a stretch...or any stretch at all, really. *g*

Tell me the sculpture McKay and John made is of some abstract math concept!

Uh, sure! Yes, it's some abstract math concept. That's why I hadn't noticed the theme until you pointed it out. ;-)

Oh my god! The rotating gif! That is the best thing ever!

It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. For one thing, the image quality went to hell for some reason. I was also hoping I could incorporate more crazy shots. However, it serves its purpose and you like it. That's what counts. :-)

“The Queen! The Queen! The Queen! The Queen! TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!TheQueen!”

Poor Reed!

Yeah, I should probably feel guilty about that, but Reed is a character that was made to be tortured. *g*

On to Part II, which is ever better!

Oh, awesome! I'm glad it didn't disappoint! :-D
