Matt Colonel Offline Everyone at SHADO drinks coffee! Posts: 2391 Location: Coventry, RI A Matter of Responsibility FDK Apr 3rd, 2011 at 12:13am Print Post My take on The Responsibility Seat. The two biggest problems I see were why did Ed take this on himself and what was he thinking that allowed him to become emotionally involved? After reviewing the episode today, I do think that he had become emotionally involved. My story gives possible answers to those two questions. Even Ed Straker can make mistakes, he is human, it makes him a living breathing person. And as Ginny tells it, no one will think less of him because of it. « Last Edit: Apr 3rd, 2011 at 3:23am by Matt » What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

She turned out to be a far cooler woman than the episode showed her, but that's how I remembered her from watching the show as a tween. When I saw the episode as an adult, I was so surprised! I didn't like her at all! She was just so grasping! Not a bad version of events, Matt. It could use a better title. The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

It's now my March Sci-Fi Forever Challenge story. I started this around mid day working on it as time permitted. It was a story that demanded to be written. In life we are all entitlied to one really incredibly stupid screwup. Paul Foster was Ginny's, Jo Frasier was Ed's. But they both managed to walk through the fire unscathed. : What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

I still haven't done mine. Actually, I'm thinking that my monster story is goiing to be dealing a lot with the weather, so it may qualify. But I haven't gotten that far yet, so I can't be sure. : The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

Posts: 2391 Location: Coventry, RI Re: A Matter of Responsibility FDK Reply #8 - Apr 3rd, 2011 at 3:18pm Print Post I think this title works better as well, it ties in well to the subject matter. I'll post my thoughts on the story later once I get them down. Alison once said that we spark off each other, and that is so true. After reading Fallen Heroes I find myself seeing Ed and Ginny in a new light. So by inspiring you to write your take, that in turn has inspired me to allow them some more playfulness. The dynamic just works so well! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

To me, this is one of the functions of fan-fiction - exploring the places that need explanations and expanding. If you only have one solution to a problem - you're not trying. IP Logged
