Hey, well, sometimes you've just got to agree to disagree. Keeps the world interesting. *g*

I don't compare this with Gemma Files at all, by the way. To me they're very different. As for the litmus test on characterization? No, I *can't* "picture the characters in this situation, and true to themselves?" Not in this story. In other things Jen has written? Yeah. Not this one. ::shrug:: To each her own, right?

Anyway... Yes, I'm taking over as reccer this month. You did a fine job! Sorry you had some rough RL times. :-(
