Thank you so much for your detailed review! I'm thrilled (and not a little bit relieved) that you enjoyed it! I was worried that you'd have expected some more hotness, but it having been my first real sex scene, I was maybe a bit too afraid of cliches, and so I tried to make it up to you with world building. I'm so glad this worked for you!
I felt so much for Millie here, because I've been through it all.
Thank you! This means a lot to me! I wanted Millie first and foremost to be real. There's a lot of me in her (write about what you know and all that *g*), though I was careful to make her a decidedly different person, too. I think I fell a bit in love with her, and I have to thank you for your request which made me writing about her in the first place.
I also have an unabashed love for Sinistra, despite her minor significance to the canon, and was thrilled to see her make an appearance - especially to see her make an appearance as a plus-sized woman!
I needed her to be a super-cool role model for Millicent, and I had so much fun creating her that way.
Thank you also for your lovely rec! I had a blast writing for you. :D
