At least I've got lots of company...

OK, the coffee-books and Ansel Adams like popularity I can buy. I like that you made the photographer a woman and the cop a man. I had assumed it was the other way around.

There is a female cop in the story, but she's a supporting character -- maybe she could headline a sequel?

Re: Storm Chaser

Confused. Romantic couple:
photographer is a woman
cop is a man

Yes?

Re: Storm Chaser

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Yep, you had it right. I was saying that one of the supporting characters is also a cop, but is a female.

Re: Storm Chaser

My Mom was a cop, but she worked in the office (State Supreme Court) rather than out on the streets. If you remember the tv show Night Court, one of her jobs was doing what the short, sarcastic Court Officer did.

Re: Storm Chaser

Ah, an officer of the court. I did some prisoner transports to the court when I was a jail officer, but I was only in that job for about four years before I transferred up to dispatch. Night Court was a favorite of mine, by the way.

Re: Storm Chaser

an officer of the court. Yep.

Night Court was a favorite of mine That was a good show, although Mom always said Barney Miller was the most realistic cop show she'd ever seen. I should put it on my Netflix queue and check it out again. Just watched a disc-worth of the Rockford Files with my Dad. ;-)

Have you ever seen Lit-Gal's Case 1099 on the Docket--Flopping in Public (http://lit-gal.livejournal.com/175082.html); cross-over between Night Court and the Sentinel.

Re: Storm Chaser

She's right, Barney Miller was pretty realistic!

I'm not familiar with Sentinel, but it was sure nice to see my old friends from "Night Court" again!

Re: Storm Chaser

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I hadn't heard of Sentinel before I started reading lit_gal, but I've picked up the DVD for the first season since then. Nothing to write home about, but perhaps later seasons are better.

I hope so. Alas, a new fandom is the last thing in the world I need right now -- although I'm going to watch "Hawaii 5-0" anyway.

Re: Storm Chaser

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I didn't know they had a new Hawaii 5-0 out! Luckily I tend to write mostly to Buffy so I can check out new shows but not get caught up in writing for them.

Defying Gravity, which I may have mentioned before, is the most recent I've picked up. Only one season, but I've watched that season three times in the last month!

Re: Storm Chaser

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Not only was I a fan of the original Hawaii 5-0, but the new version has actors from Moonlight, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica on it -- an a guest starring arc by James Marsters as a villain. So yeah -- I'm there!

Re: Storm Chaser

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that does sound good.

In college we used to play a drinking game to Hawaii 5-0. You drink for every scene of water, so water chases were really heavy for drinking. Other things to drink to as well, but I've forgetten them over the years. Finish off your beer for "Book him, Dano."

Re: Storm Chaser

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

now, that would be an effective drinking game!

Re: Storm Chaser

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was.

Re: Storm Chaser

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh, and you original series Battlestar Gallactica icon totally rocks!

Re: Storm Chaser

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh, the link I just sent suggests male/male sexual activity. Nothing at all graphic, but I'd just thought I'd mention in case that's not your thing.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

It's not my thing, but I'm a Buffy fan -- I see it all the time. :-)

Re: slash

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Notice I didn't think twice about it until AFTER I posted.

Re: slash

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I think fanfic readers are about the most open group there is -- except for when ship wars start!

Re: slash

I go hide then. I can hold a grudge pretty much like anybody else but I'm not good at arguing.
