Nice use of the challenge to do a little character exploration. I enjoyed this.

Thank you, Nancy!

An abundance of snow was impeding traffic around here and police warned us to stay at home and not drive unless absolutely necessary. I wondered how much more difficult travelling would have been in M-E. And who would have issued the travel warnings?

You do a great job here of capturing the turn of the moment. Nicely done.

Nice, Meg. You used the kick-off of this drabble challenge in wonderfully unexpected (to me) way. And this is just what I love drabble for: to explore a small moment that changes everything. Well done.

Thanks for the inspiration! Ever since watching the movie I have been wanting to write something Spock/Uhura. Your topic for the drabble was just what I needed.

This is such an interesting portrayal of a complex character at a moment of choice. I was impressed by it when first giving it a beta read, but find it much more compelling now the second time around. So interesting that Kira finds hope and compassion in a madman, and chooses to put aside her own prejudices and pain to help a former enemy, all the while knowing she may be making the wrong choice. She knows her choice is imperfect, but she is ready to support it wholeheartedly and prepared for the worst if wrong. Awesome character portrayal, Vlad.

Very nice to see a bit of McGonnagall's day, even if it was a bad one. I would love to see more fics from her point of view, and I think you caught her character and her concerns, both large and small, far-reaching and short, very well.

Very amusing, Eira! I could definately hear Eddie's crazed happy voice. Hi There!

Yeah, those Sirius Cybernetics guys must have been high when they built those machines--which explains their complaints departments. *grins*

This was really great, Viv. You set up a paradigm comparing the machine with the human and keep it up proviing great structure without letting it drive the narrative at tall. I particularly liked how, at the end, she is still a woman: giving her man an ultimatum he is unaware of and so must ultimately fail.

It's always interesting when a character's lesser nature can be turned to the good, and the good fun of the reader. I will look forward to more.

I really enjoyed this, Neume, not only for the writing but also the concept. Eowyn is referred to as a "Shield-maiden" as if that were an established thing, implying there must be others and I like how you picked up that idea and made a full flesh and blood character out of it. But the heart of the story is in the end; the lovers' conversation works so well you might consider turning it into a double or triple drabble, but then you'd have to change something and that I could not condone.
