What a fabulous find! I don't seem to get online much lately (being a Granny/Nanny now) =)

So it was fantastic to find a new story from you... although there *is* always that bit of trepidation in reading anything new from you. (not that you haven't broken my heart in teeeny tiny pieces before or anything) =)

So I am in agreement with all the previous comments on how well you treated all the players, keeping their characterizations spot on and not making anyone out to be anymore villainous than we already are to each other) ((I'm not sure that came out right))

I was totally transported by your alien world building (and appreciated the nearly fatal dining experience... it came quiet current with a conversation I had with my DIL, whose Asian immigrant family made a gourmand error with North American mushrooms and came very near death).

Hmmm, I was going to make this a reasonably brief comment full of praise and gratitude that you are still writing in the SGAverse... but I have blathered on. typical. =P
