*** I thought the little girl was Kara's. When Leoben came up with the story about the little girl's path and her surrogate mother with the lovely smile I thought he must be telling the truth. So I assumed they were going to kill Kacey, because of course they couldn't saddle Kara with a kid. Of course, the truth was almost as bad!
I was mostly-hoodwinked too... although I did have a few doubts, most of the time I did think she was Kara's. And yes, the truth was pretty horrible, and for me it's really high on the list of awful things Leoben did to Kara. (I never thought about killing the kid off, though it would make sense... yikes.)
8. It really does. I think I have to agree with daybreak777 and say that BSG fic measures up very well when compared with other fandoms. Maybe because it has an older fanbase?
And now I realize I don't think I've ever read any of your fic. besides that one Racetrack drabble. So I'll have to give Prophecy a try. It would surprise me if 'Prophecy' were to your liking, considering how very K/Leoben shippy it is. I've been making a list recently of most of my fic (stuff I've listed on the LJ comms, the shorter stuff I've written but not cross-posted) and it's here (http://rose-griffes.livejournal.com/48696.html). Hey, I even have a Sam fic, but it's really depressing, so...
But that does make me curious. I'm going to venture a guess that you read a lot more meta about BSG than fic. (You can tell me that I'm way off-base, it'll just make me laugh.) The fact that you have the patience to wade through pages on TWoP and the Skiffy forums are what lead me to make that supposition. And you've already mentioned that you mostly read Kara-related stuff, so you probably don't spend a lot of time reading (fic or meta) about minor characters... and for some reason my brain just loves those less-used characters when writing fic.
My favorite story of my own stuff is Nemesis (http://rose-griffes.livejournal.com/30068.html), which is about Jean Barolay meeting a copy of Leoben on Caprica. But I'll admit, most people wouldn't even remember who Jean is, much less want to read something about her... and that's okay, I really loved writing it and think it's awesome. ;-)
