I think 6 weeks is definitely short after a serious relationship that you're really invested in and where you felt like you were in love. Obviously, everyone's different about their tolerance for being alone though. I know one of my friends absolutely can't handle that and moved on pretty quickly after she broke up with a guy she thought she would be marrying. But she's extreme about that. (had a family who put all sorts of pressure on her to marry early and marry "well." They're snobs)

But I also agree with you completely about Sam. I don't see him moving on nearly that soon, and absolutely not with a waitress from the Penny. I actually did find myself wishing they would write a second chapter. I wanted to see if Sam clued in, and I just had the feeling all the rookies were wrong, and he wasn't really dating that chick after all. Something else was going on like he was trying to set her up with Oliver, or was helping her with something, or some other circumstance that was getting misinterpreted.

Good point. It did seem to be a rumor only. Nobody sees him with this waitress.

I would love to see a second chapter from them from Sam's POV, with all the reasons he wouldn't have moved on right away.

And - I'm not always an Andy fan but I can't see her bed-hopping her way across 15. That's really not her style. Now if Traci would just shut up and stop giving her bad advice....

In this case though... I felt like it was just SEX. Nothing more than two friends making eachother feel good for 20 minutes. And obviously it was messed up because all she could think of was Sam and it was so awkward because Nick wasn't even what she wanted and she knew she wasn't really what he wanted either and I think that was the point of it all. That there was no feeling there. So I don't necessarily see it as bed-hopping. It IS, but I don't know. I'd love a 2nd chapter too but I think I'd prefer if my brain focused on the sam and andy side of things and not who else they could be sleeping with. LOL. For my sanity. I can't let myself think too much about these things. LOL.

ETA: AND, I agree about Traci. Suddenly I hated her in that fic. LOL.

I cannot see it happening. Nick and Andy in bed together is just so awkward! I look at them and I don't get a romantic chemistry from them at all.

I agree with LAWoman that the length of time is really dependent on the person. However, I think even people who move on very soon after a relationship are lying to themselves a little bit. I was supposed to get married in college and when that went south, I didn't get into a serious relationship until 5 years later. I dated and had a couple short relationships and an on/off relationship in the interim, but not a truly serious, I want to marry you sort of thing. If you love someone the way Sam and Andy love each other, 6 weeks is not at all long enough.

I must say- I started to read but just couldn't follow through. These ladies are awesome authors but I can't handle the thought of either Sam or Andy being with anyone else .... So I decided to look after my mental health by not reading - at least for now :haha:

Thanks, RookieD, glad you enjoyed!

... Anyone notice how there's an anonymous reviewer posting some pretty vehemently anti-Andy remarks about the content of a lot of the post-S3 stories? As a writer for whom the highest priority is consistent characterization, it's like, "Hmm, I could have her falling all over herself to apologize for stuff that happened years ago and that Sam's pretty much over, or I could keep her in character."

Might just be me, but it does seem like a lot of anger to direct toward fictionalized accounts of an already-fictional character. :whistle

Yep, I'm hearing ya sista! I've had a Sam basher too. It's ...odd. I'd hate to think about how they cope with people in their 'real' lives.

I just posted a one-shot tag to 3.6 (you know, the housewarming one?). It is M -- but, if that's not your thing, there's a little chunk of the party that's totally clean (except for Sam telling Jerry once where to go, lol). Anyways, you'll know when things are heating up so feel free to tune out there!

I just... I have... NO WORDS!!!!... :thud:

That one-shot is truly one of THE best M rated fics I've ever read, ever, in any fandom, with any pairing.

It was hot and sweet and beautiful, I could figure out what emotions I was even feeling. And it was so gloriously IN character that it almost made me cry because I completely believe it as canon and it makes the break-up more heartbreaking. I have nothing but positive adjectives for this and I send you a ridiculous amount of warm fuzzies for THAT being how I kicked off my "RB FanFic Catch Up"... Holy Moly!

Oh wow. Thanks so much snafu, what a LOVELY review!!

It actually needs a bit of a tidy up here and there (re: patterning of a few words) but I had already almost thrown my laptop through the window once yesterday about it. Long story, but let's just say: I went back to do some edits after leaving it for a day... I was on a great roll, threw in a couple of corker moments and what not... Hit save. But. It did not save! I had to go back through and try repeat the process -

The lesson to me in all that: never trust fanfiction site and do all my work/reworks into a word doc!

Anyway, thanks again for your very kind words. I'm really enjoying writing for these two, they're just splendid and great.
