Fic: How to Love a Madman

[hmpf]

I'm doing that 'posting somewhat prematurely' thing again, because I'm still waiting for icudoc to give his final okay on my use of medical vocabularly in this (and also, I'm still marginally unhappy with some details of the poem section), but I'm frustrated with uni stuff right now and finishing a fic and *getting it out there* seemed like a good cure for that frustration. So:

Title: How to Love a Madman
Fandom: Life on Mars
Characters: Sam, Annie
Genre/type: mildly angsty shippy gen. YAFE (Yet Another Formal Experiment).
Length: 652 words
Spoilers: none
Thanks to: beccatoria, for an intense beta. icudoc, for medical vocabulary.
Dedicated to: space_oddity_75, with love and gratefulness.

This will be crossposted to lifein1973 in a couple of days, but I want to sleep on it and reread it a couple of times before I do that.

(Wheeeee! An opportunity to use my 'stay' icon without feeling dirty! *g*)

This is wonderful. Beautiful and as neuralclone said, very moving. It really was worth the wait, and I look forward to seeing it appear in the community! : )

Thanks!

As for the wait... heh. This was the second-fastest bit of writing I've done since 2002... three months is nothing! ;-)

The waiting comment was more to do with the fact that most LoM fic appears without knowing the person was writing it, so when you would mention this piece and its near-completion, I would once again glee at being able to read it soon (especially as I loved 'starving on the jump down' so very much!)...
Having said that, I am also a very slow writer, so hoorah for 'fast' fics! ; )
