Of course, you DO realize that this is partially because I am completely biased right? :P

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there was a pretty clear split based on how much people love Laura :) Thanks for the prompt!

[identity profile] obsessive-a101.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it also helps that it was my prompt. XD I actually honestly just want to see more interaction between the two and all the possible implications from it, but to be fair, I think any single one of the ones you did have a good chance of being good fics. :)

I'm voting Kara as Zak's wife! It's an AU I always loved, and I really like the complicated layer you're throwing in with the jealousy. But they're all neat!

It seems a couple others were the group favorites, but I'm glad you liked that one! thanks!

Well, you know Kara working for Laura fills me with squee!

But they all look compelling to me. :)

It's going to be the inmate story, working on it now! :) Thanks for voting!

Is this going to STay pg-13? Haha
I voted Laura's aide only in hopes that she might get close to Laura;) lol

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know about PG-13, but if it's not it'll be Kara/Lee I expect :) Thanks for voting!

Looks like the "inmate" won anyway;)

These are all interesting!

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :)

All of these are interesting, but Kara as an inmate and the added layer of complexity that would bring to the relationships sells me completely.

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I've started working on it already :) Thanks for voting!

[identity profile] lorrainemarker.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[identity profile] callmeonetrack.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
They're all really fun! I almost went with Zak's wife because I'm intrigued by how that trio of relationships would shake out if K/Z really had married/Z hadn't died, but the inmate one was too good to resist.

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think that's going to turn out to be Kara/Lee anyway :) Thanks for voting!

[identity profile] hobbit-kate.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
I love all these, especially the second and third one! But I voted for No 3, of course, because, well, you know me ;-)

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh! Zarek may even make an appearance in my writing, possibly for the first time ever! Thanks for voting :)

I only have time to write one, but inmate it is! Thanks for voting :)

[identity profile] rococoms.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I had to vote for Kara as Laura's aide, because, you know, it's me (and I so want to know more about Laura taking her in and their history) but I also loved the one with Kara as a prisoner. Really intriguing concept, and I would love to see either of these continued.

Well done getting so much written- quite a feat!

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Prisoner it is! And thanks - the initial ideas come quickly, it's finding the time to write out the rest that may be a challenge ;)

[identity profile] astreamofstars.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
These are all awesome! I think you could turn any of them into something longer. I voted for Laura's aide, because it's Laura, and also because it's such a different side to Kara than most of the rest of them, and I'd love to see what Kara in that position would do, working on the civilian, political side of things as opposed to the military side. I think that could be fascinating.

Kara as an inmate would be interesting too!

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The inmate AU won out - I'll get started! Thanks for getting the game going :)

[identity profile] wicked-sassy.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, I'm sad I missed the voting! They are all excellent, for sure.

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I was in a dull meeting today, so I already started plotting the inmate AU :)

[identity profile] damao2010.livejournal.com 2012-08-24 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I've only seen these today and I have to say they are just great. I loved the one where Kara is married to Zak and the one where she killed her mother. I wouldn't mind seeing where these stories would lead. Just saying. ;)

[identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com 2012-08-29 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked them! The inmate one is on my to-write list :)

Yay snippets! Love all of these :)

Thanks! :)
