Notes: I would like to thank halotolerant for her invaluable medical beta and help with my timeline. Also, may I just say that if you want to know how to stab someone correctly for maximum damage, ask a doctor. *g* I’d also like to thank ashley_pitt who was kind enough to answer some very general questions about hand therapy for me. Of course any remaining mistakes are my own.

I’d also like to thank Zed for the lovely trailer vid and of course przed and callistosh65 for not only hosting this party but for, well, just being bloody brilliant broads in general. *tips hat*

Lastly, I’d like to thank my flistees for their encouragement, their encouraging mockage of my story related angst and ND, Vic and Mikey in particular for bearing the brunt of it. ♥

I remember reading a question on L_D once where my first thought was who would want to survive that little lot?

Try explaining the wide spread love of H/C to a non-fandom person... yeah, apparently we're all sadists. *g*

That's just it, eh? Some of the injuries are so horrific that you have to think that the character would say 'fuck this shit - I'm out of here' (and thereby leave the author with a huge plot problem. *g*)

*g* Yes, they really don't understand that the emphasis is usually more on the comfort and that's why it's so beloved. I reckon everyone, deep down inside, has a need to but hugged and cuddled and taken care of.

But most of us don't plan on getting severely whumped first. *g*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Whumping is most definitely not wanted prior to the taking care of in RL. *g*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

But apparently big strong butch agent types must be... persuaded *cough* that they really need ze hot man lurve a cuddle.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

*g* Or they at least need to have an excuse. "I've got a bad owie - cuddles!"

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

If six bullet wounds is a "bad owie" then I propose that they're silly lads who are doing it wrong... or at least they need to develop a better sense of proportion. *g*

Hmmm... proportion, good challenge word.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, the six bullet wounds to 'scare' a character was completely over the top! I think one would do the job quite nicely, thanks. *g*

It is... as is equilibrium. ;)

Perhaps he takes "not scaring easily" to a bitter extreme. *g*

Ooooh ta! I needed a second one and I don't think I've used that one yet.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

*g* Totally! He takes 'not scaring easily' to new heights of insanity.

You're welcome!
