All Full Of Stars (AKA: My Fic)
Okay, just announcing I, too, am throwing my hat into the ring this year - that's my working title. Fic should be out before US Thanksgiving.

Re: All Full Of Stars (AKA: My Fic)
Phew! As stated below, first fourth is finished, and will complete another fourth today with luck and the rest this weekend. Will send to beta by the end of the week and, with any sort of luck, have the finished version posted here by next Wed.

Re: All Full Of Stars (AKA: My Fic)
I failed at getting a beta for this, so I hand-edited the puppy. Guess it's good to go now.

Typo: "draws" should be "drawers"
Touching and downbeat without being depressing, with good performances by all the characters, and generally feels 100% like the show. I hardly need to point out that it's well-written, though it feels a bit verbose in places, particularly around the start. I enjoyed seeing the Robot Devil again. He shines in this story. The ending is awesome.

I feel happy for reading this.
And now there are no more to read! Onward, judges!

Pleah, I knew I'd miss something
Thanks so much, Chris! I was wondering if I was headed too much in the direction of melodrama, I'm glad it didn't.
I'm pleased you like this one - I've still got about three more fics to read this weekend before tossing in my thoughts on them later.

Nicely written story (And I have to say, I like verbose
) with good solid characterisations, several unique ideas and top notch characterisation, nice emotional moments, with a good smattering of humour throughout. The rest I'll put in...

Re: All Full Of Stars (AKA: My Fic)
Nah, the Robot Devil was fine. It makes me wonder, actually, if there would have been more antagonism between RD and Leela in a longer-running series.
Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.
