FDK A Life Worth Saving

Four legged heros challenge. The first part came to me last night. This will be short but powerful.

I too hated the way the poor kitty was demonized in TCWTL. Angry

I saved Ginny's reputation, can I save the kitty? :Smiley

I know Pam would be eternally in your debt if you manage to redeem the cat!  Grin

Cats are people too. Smiley

Don't mess with kitty, he/she just might mess back! Smiley

You are so bad!!!!  Shocked  Having the cat interrupt them like that! *snicker* 

Great short short, Matt!  It read almost like a follow-up episode to TCWTL and was easy to visualize.  Good work!  Smiley

My own muse has gone off the rails and eschewed writing lately.  Instead I've been heavily into collage art, one of my passions.  I haven't even been sewing and, with Halloween only a week away, that says a lot!  We'll see how the weekend goes and if I can get going on my Paul story. *sigh*  It would be more incentive if it was my Alec or Straker story next.  Foster's just not my fave.  I wonder if the readers will feel cheated if I intersperse his story with bits of Ginny's continuing, just so that I don't get so bored that I quit halfway through?  What do you think?

Ain't I a stinka'  Grin. Yeah, at this point in my story arc, they are still dancing around their feelings, so having Sam be the jealous kitty worked well, UST to the max!

I'll be putting my notes up later, but I was torn about the ending, what it boiled down to is, I wanted the time that Ginny and Sam had together to be precious, so even though the epilogue is sad, we see that Sam touched more than just Ginny's life. It was a bittersweet ending. Cry Wink

Hopefully your muse comes out of hiding and you can get on to Paul's part. I don't think anyone would feel cheated, it blends the stories together, especially if you do the same thing when you start part three. Smiley

Oooo, look at all the new smilies! Smiley
