Hot, very hot and sweet. Thanks!

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
A intereesting look into a couple that isn't really liked or understood.
-- Michele - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 11:27:49 -0500

2A Certain Distance by RoseKira
Interesting take on the Torres-Chakotay friendship, and some novel wanderings as we learn just what is behind that relationship. I enjoyed this a lot!
-- Djinn - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 22:08:46 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
In the Glory Days universe the course of true love ne'er did run smooth. And this is just one more example of it as Seven and Chakotay appear to be imploding under the weight of their own inability to communicate. I look forward to seeing what happens to them.
-- Djinn - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 22:09:04 -0500

8She Blinded Me by Cait N.
This shouldn't be a funny story, but it sure is. I'd like to see more of these two!
-- Djinn - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 22:09:26 -0500

13Star Light, Star Bright by Anne in Chicago
A very sweet story, a very nice peek at the P/K relationship,
-- Djinn - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 10:37:31 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
No one who has ever faced the prospect of separation from a partner can fail to be moved by this well-written C/7 story. I like the way the characters' surface conversation masks so many deeper tensions. And it's good to see an admirable, likable, yet human Chakotay again -- the character he was initially in canon.
-- Kelly Chambliss - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 15:23:22 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
This story fits in well the the canon "Killing Game." I like Harry's tough determination and the Doc's exasperated sharpness.
-- Kelly Chambliss - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 15:27:02 -0500

7SEVEN'S REJECTS by T'Lin
C/EMH -- now *that's* a pairing that never occurred to me. But T'Lin makes it work here, partly by not loading the pair with a lot of emotional baggage.) I like the way she lets the doc play with the shape-shifting possibilities of being a hologram. And of course, the J/7 lover in me is pleased to see what Seven did *not* reject.
-- Kelly Chambliss - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 15:32:12 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
It is one thing to insert a 'missing' fictional scene into an existing episode when dealing with a canon pairing, but this piece deftly inserts a scene revolving around a non-canon pairing. Skillfully done without disrupting the flow of the canon episode, kudos. It definitely gives a twist to the later scene where Harry encounters Lt. Bobby Davis in the corridor.
-- Whoa Nellie - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 18:50:08 -0500

2A Certain Distance by RoseKira
An interesting peek into the 'might-have-been' relationship of Chakotay and Torres. This work wonderfully captured the voices of the characters from B'Elanna's point of view.
-- Whoa Nellie - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 18:51:10 -0500

2A Certain Distance by RoseKira
This is an interesting look at B'Elanna's background and her relationship with Chakotay.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:01:15 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
The Harry in this fic struck me as being so three-dimensional and so much more interesting and capable than the one TPTB gave us. I enjoyed the conversation between Harry and the Doctor greatly as they run the gamut of emotions as they tend to Voyager's 'fallen.' Nice episode addition.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:03:51 -0500

8She Blinded Me by Cait N.
Poor Harry! He's really going to need that dermal regenerator! This was fun.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:08:28 -0500

9Talk Dirty to Me by cinder
I like Harry taking the upper hand in this fic. Nice job.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:10:46 -0500

13Star Light, Star Bright by Anne in Chicago
This is a sweet and tender moment between Harry and Tom. I liked it.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:12:29 -0500

12Twist of Fate Love and Copulation by Whoa Nellie
A provocative addition to this interesting VOY universe.
-- Seema - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 00:16:38 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
The theme of this story--the 'heart'--is one of a couple discovering that sometimes love just isn't enough. That common experiences and shared expectations are essential. Also emphasized is the importance of pursuing one's own dreams, even though this may eventually force a choice to be made. Sometimes the only thing that can be done for someone you love is to let them go. Seema does a beautiful job of capturing the essence of all this in her story.
-- Rocky - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 09:23:56 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
One of the problems with C/7 is that it was sprung so abruptly that it was hard to see the attraction. This story shows us why these two people wound up together, and shows them fighting to stay together despite the different pulls they both feel. It's sad, yet so very believable.
-- Penny Proctor - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 19:07:40 -0500

2A Certain Distance by RoseKira
"A Certain Distance" is an interesting look both at a pairing (Chakotay/Torres), and a milieu (their time as Marquis) we rarely see in fan fiction. This story had more than one twist I never saw coming and I liked Torres’s motivations in choosing this particular listener to talk to. I thought that particular development said volumes. Rose Kira did a lovely job with Torres’s voice and I appreciated the portrait she rendered of Chakotay, strong, a hero, but with strong feelings as well. I loved the last line about wishing the past were so easy. A lovely and nicely angsty story that really stayed with me.

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
I loved the picture of the Boston area created in the very first passages. The "heart of the matter" of Seema's tale though lies in the relationship between Chakotay and Seven, and once again I am impressed at how convincingly and sympathetically Seema brings them to life. I found in particular her depiction of Seven, her changes and her still awkwardness in human interaction very poignant. (It was impossible for me not to laugh out loud at Seven's insistence she drive the flitter, a reference no doubt to Chakotay's predilection for wrecking shuttles.)
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:17:29 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
Chilling.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:23:31 -0500

5LOVER MAN - PART I by RFK
Interesting tale of Tom early in the voyage.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:24:00 -0500

6Reflections of a Bride by RFK
This story of B'Elanna Torres on her wedding day had more than one interesting twist I didn't expect.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:24:20 -0500

7SEVEN'S REJECTS by T'Lin
This had a cute premise.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:24:39 -0500

8She Blinded Me by Cait N.
LOL. I would never get between this B'Elanna and her man. Cait certainly paints a vivid picture in "She Blinded Me" of B'Elanna in a certain mood and Harry's reaction to it. The response of the Emergency Medical Hologram to it all was too funny. And it ended with lines to make you laugh and wince more than a bit in sympathy.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:25:02 -0500

13Star Light, Star Bright by Anne in Chicago
I liked the whimsy and feeling in "Star Light, Star Bright" as well as the image of there being a star for all the loved ones the Voyager crew left behind.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:25:49 -0500

9Talk Dirty to Me by cinder
This had some cute banter.
-- Rabble Rouser - Tue, 01 Apr 2003 06:26:18 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
A very good story. Loving and bittersweet scene.
-- Winnie - Thu, 03 Apr 2003 22:53:35 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
This is my favorite story in the Glory Days series. Chakotay's cluelessness is endearing; the little details of his unconscious realization that something is wrong are subtle and wonderful. I loved the way Seema told the whole story of what was going on with Seven of Nine without ever saying any of it explicitly. The incident with the jewelry is a great example of this masterpiece of show-don't-tell. All the little moments of Seven's nervousness and unusual behavior add up to a wonderful story.
-- Jemima - Thu, 03 Apr 2003 23:43:15 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
This description of a couple drifting apart and unwilling to recognize the fact is starkly realistic. I can see this insecure Seven staying with Chakotay out of fear of being alone.
-- Ventura33 - Fri, 04 Apr 2003 18:51:28 -0500

4Killing Game Missing Scene by anneinchicago
Creepy! Creee-e-eepy! But very well done!
-- Ventura33 - Fri, 04 Apr 2003 18:52:09 -0500

7SEVEN'S REJECTS by T'Lin
Heehee! Great title, and what a pairing!
-- Ventura33 - Fri, 04 Apr 2003 18:53:12 -0500

3The Heart of the Matter by Seema
Like the rest of the Glory Days stories, this is a peek at post-Endgame Seven becoming more and more human as she progresses from Chakotay's girlfriend to a professor and an independent woman. Seema writes wonderful subtext into her stories, and this is no exception. The hints of what's to come for this pair are there, but not set in neon lights. Great job, Seema.
