Oh Audra, that was beautiful! I seriously don't think turning it into slash would have made it better, it was brilliant! Also the autistic part? Really spoke to me - I'm quite fascinated by Charlie's genius, ie the kind of genius that thinks so far ahead of us that he's leaving us all behind... and we don't even know it, know what I mean? And I love the way Don reflects back to it. And how beautiful was the part about Don not worrying about Charlie going far into his head because he could always make him laugh *happy sigh* And I also quite enjoyed how Don still feels guilty about The Look and it made me ache to think of Charlie back then...

Anyway, wonderful story, I'm so thrilled you wrote it *bounces*

yay! I'm so glad you liked it! *bg*

I find it so interesting, too! I think people like Charlie pay a price for their genius in other areas of life - either in relationships or social functionality or in their own mental state. It's so cool to think about. It really gives us a lot of material, hmmm?

So... when are you posting? *g* I'm really excited to read yours - my weekend is going to be nuts and I don't want to miss it - do you think it will be before Monday?

Definitely a lot of material, which ironically I didn't even really use in my story, go figure... maybe next time *g*

I have no idea *g* It's at [livejournal.com profile] starwatchers's atm, waiting to be beta'ed. Also, I'd have liked to show it to someone into the show but it's not happening right now apparently. Anyway, I'm waiting for the corrected version and I'll see from here. I'm thinking this weekend, but I don't want to hurry Starwatcher, ya know? *g*

Do you want me to beta for you? (It's okay if you don't *g*) I haven't checked my flist in days :( but beta-ing is entirely different - I can print it out and read it as I'm running around, y'know?

Just let me know. :)

Oh man, okay so I'll admit, I was hoping you would offer but I didn't want you to feel any kind of obligation to say yes so I preferred not to ask directly... yeah sorry, anyway thanks a lot, I'd love it if you could help *g*

Starwatcher does a wonderful beta work for me and what I'd really need is for you to read the fic when it's been beta'ed and tell me if it sounds right... if you think it's good-Numb3rs so to speak and stuff like that.

Also, I'm afraid I'm being a little... verbose sometimes. It sounds right in my head, like, it's the way I want to tell the story and emphasise it, but I'd like to know if it's okay too. Anyway, would it work for you?

Thanks again *g*

Absolutely no problem *g*. Besides - then I get to read it first. :) Send it on whenever you're ready! *bg*

I just sent the story though it's still the unbeta'ed version, which is also my way of warning about the mistakes and stuff lol
