*stares at story* I remember you....

I think this is one in the stack on my coffee table. Just never got around to it. But I've read it and am about to let you have it.

First of all, AWESOME structure and all around set up. Love how you preface each section with a "Willie's Rule #..." Very cool, because you know she has a listo, nay a manifesto that she adheres to on the daily; probably recites the m.f. so that she is prepared to swim with the sharks and if need be, devour them altogether. Smart woman, that Wilhemina Slater. Smart and quick. Love her.

Secondly, excellent job of capturing voices! There are those of you on this site who are excellent at this. You've not only captured voices but thoughts as they'd most precisely appear in the character's mind. Firm grip on the characters...and speaking of firm grip...

Daniel Meade, though he 'caught' Willie, he's the one who comes off like putty in her hands. So damn malleable and impressionable he is. I love how she internally read him, calling him a City-College dropout. I cracked up at that one. I'm quite sure Daniel's dad at least got him admitted into an Ivy League school. Surely, he graduated with 'some' semblance of a four-year degree. But regardless the facts, Willie has him numbered. Very cool and again testament to your awesomeness to further 'be' these characters.

Overall, I loved it. Really the plot to me was secondary as I loved just being in her head...and to a certain extent, being in Daniel's head. She really did mind-fuck him....and speaking of fucking, I was a bit saddened that nothing happened. But this way it can still work inside the canon and guess what chica? it leaves room for so many more one-shots you can write, place strategically in those moments when Daniel and Wilhemina clash. But I think at some point, they've got to consummate all this mental-fucking. Maybe they have a moment, when Willie's weak and Daniel's depressed and they, feeling sorry for themselves (or one another...I seriously doubt Willie would allow to dwell in the swallows for too long; pity someone else, sure, but not herself) find *cough* comfort in the form of intense, animalistic fucking on the veranda of her Park Avenue penthouse. LOL.

Another interesting denotation: Daniel, wanting to 'spank' Willie. Obviously, of the two SHE'S the dominant one; him? not so much. So the addage of opposites attract works on many levels: dominate/submissive, older/younger, hell, black/white (lol), etc. But Daniel wanting to lay the smack down on someone whose feet I can easily envision him licking? Hmmm....that's an interesting switch. But at the same time I can see Willie, tired her domineering/Alpha ways, wanting to be 'petted' as it were and told what to do...

Damn, I think I just dirtied up this entire comment box...*visions of 'the extreme naughty'* are dancing around my head now. LOL. But I hope this gives you fodder for future usage! Yes? No? Maybe? *cracks whip* LOL Daniel would like that....*cough* 

But yes, this was great and please, please, please write more. Willie to me is the most enjoyable part of the show now (or at least during season 2). Willie and Amanda and Marc, most definitely. Everyone else was kinda boring. And how hot would it be for Marc to get in on some of the action with Willie and Daniel? *considers* Damn...my slash-fic...sorely needing one. LOL. 

*sprinkles you with confetti and stars* ;)
