I loved this story. Very well written and thought out. Keep writing great stories! Cheers! }:O

I don't know who the one person was who didn't like this story, but they obviously have no taste. I thought it was wonderful. This is the first story I have read that you have written, so I'm going to check out the others since I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for making my afternoon enjoyable.

Great fic. I especially like your take on Ronon for this one.

Well done! Kinda neat to see the bonding between McKay and Ronon happening so quickly and naturally...nice alternate!

aw! i really liked it! i loved the conversations between Rodney and Ronon. And of course the ending with McKay Sheppard.

Keep it up!

I know it's an old story, but I want to stick my tongue out at that bad reviewer. *asshole* K, I feel better. I really liked your take on the ep, I just re-watched it recently, and honestly, I could totally see this following the episode. Great job, my friend!

Howdy!

I know that I've read and enjoyed this story before, but it seems that I neglected to send feedback. So sorry! My mama raised me to say 'Thank you' when I receive a gift, and your stories are certainly that. Anyway, after seeing a reference to this story on the SGAHC list, I went back and reread it. Rereading this story was like watching one of the better SGA episodes, where you don't mind the familiarity but instead welcome it.

You did a great job in explaining John's behavior, and kept him in character by not having him get all girly when he decided to make nice with Rodney.

Better yet, you heaped more abuse onto Rodney. Hanging from a tree, although fun to watch, wasn't nearly enough. Thanks for making up for TPTB's oversight and starving, exhausting, and shooting poor Rodney.

Write more stories with Ronon! I love your Ronon stories. He's my favorite and not enough people write about him. I like your McKay and Sheppard too so write stories with all of them! I think your the best Ronon writer out there!

I really loved this story, it's really good. :)

Oh, & don't listen to Anonymous, because she/he hads obviously seen what, ONE episode of Atlantis? I thought the characters were exactly like the characters on TV. Okay, that last sentence sounds really wierd, but you know what mean. Anyway, great job. :)

This was really excellant, I've read all your stories and they're great. Is there any change of a sequal? Please? Maybe a little Rodney/Ronan slash. *Looks hopeful* Please?

Since fanficnet advises that you will be rewarded by a well-rounded critique, I'll comment on the one and only thing that stood out as something requiring revision. One other reviewer already commented on it, that Rodney's response to John's comment regarding his people skills was not quite worded to make sense, an understandable error that I've often made myself.

Apart from that, this story is utterly fantastic. I've been sitting here a while reading SGA fic and this is the first one I've come across that riveted me from start to finish. I thought it was masterfully written, with excellent insight into the characters. You got across their emotional issues with exactly the right amount of exposition and no melodrama. I believed I was reading about the same people who are on the television show. :) The dialogue is excellent and feels true to character, as well. You didn't skimp on the angst, nor did you overdo it. I was touched by the ending. All around, one of the best SGA fics I've read in the past couple of years.

As for your anonymous reviewer, I would suspect it's just your average troll or a fellow fanfic writer who's maybe a little envious of your talent. Anonymous' review reveals just how incapable he/she is of catching the nuances of character. Even if there WERE couches in the corridors, just having the character plop down on a couch would have been far less satisfying than the way you wrote it. Your way shows a feel for the characters and for their needs in a way that Anonymous doesn't appear to understand.

I hope you will keep writing and not allow deliberately unkind reviews to get you down. We need more outstanding stories like this in SGA fanfic. Thanks.

I'm such a slacker! I downloaded the whole fic from your website (to have a hard copy) and then forgot to come back and tell you how much I loved the way this fic ended. Rodney may not be the most astute people person but sometimes he's 100% on the money! *cough* about Chaya, for instance *cough* John really did need a little kick in the head as a wake up call - and yeah, who better to deliver it? Another great story!

I think that person who left you the annoymous review is full of crap. Couches in the hallway? I can't remember seeing couches. I really can't understand why someone leaves a message like that unless it is to make themselves feel big and important and mighty, but they just blow it by getting their facts all wrong, being obnoxiously mean and not sighing their name. Don't listen to ass-wipes like that. They are like any bully that attempts to make someone else look bad just to hide how stupid they are.

Now that I said that I will say that I liked your story a lot. I love Ronon! I think you should write more Ronon stories! Your Ronon is the closest I've seen to TV Ronon so write some more of him. I loved it.

Excellent story - just begging for a sequel!

hm yes I read that review... It infuriated me. Nitpickers! They should go find a good childcare facility... gr...

Nothing is more important to me that a good plot, excellent characterization, a dash of humour and excellent writing. The odd punctuation etc doesn't bother me too much as long it doesn't make it hard to read. I think you do a fine job in all areas and would ignore stupid comments to the contrary! I will never understand why people are so spineless that they have to be anonymous to say such hurtful things. It's just like when a bunch of idiots ripped the logo off the back of my new car. You can't confront them and they make you WILD! I am very impressed with the attempt you made to address the review.

Ahh lovely ending chapter. I love it all. Thanks so much for sharing and congratulations. Can't wait for your next story...(Ok, so I'm a fan..)
