I re-read Irene Dutch's entire Firestorm series this weekend--I remember reading it in parts when she first posted it. It was just as good in the re-reading! I like how she weaves in tidbits about Lee in some of the stories to explain how Lee feels about Clark in Firestorm. My heart breaks for Lee in Broccoli Dancing. And Sam and Astrid's first meeting is amazing, and how you handled Jon and Marty's reactions to Sam and Astrid. Marty's story is so compelling, and so is Vicky's. It's nice how you started Vicky off living in a black and white world, and by Gale Force Winds, there is so much gray around her, that she doesn't know what to do! Anyway, thank you for a wonderful weekend of reading!
