if you need a beta, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm here. *friends you*
Thanks for the offer! I'm not sure how that would work out; you don't like Stephen, while I'm very sympathetic to him (I'm not letting them kill him off in my story), and I think you have far more sympathy for Helen than I do. But I will probably at least ask you questions! I saw the eps on BBC America, and I gather there were cuts for lengths. I'd hoped to get the boxed set of both seasons for Christmas, but that didn't happen. Now I have a whole host of questions, including, but not limited to:

- I've seen two different fic writers refer to Stephen quitting. Nick fires him out on the motorway; Stephen then goes back to the ARC, but I don't recall seeing Stephen quit. I assumed that Stephen figures he's fired but can't stop arguing, and at many places (especially government jobs) a firing isn't official until it's on paper. So I've been figuring that Stephen was only sort-of fired, leaving each of the characters free to consider him fired or not fired as they chose. Do you know more than this, or am I wrong?

- I've seen lots of original characters, especially at [livejournal.com profile] primeval_denial, but I don't know them all that well; I generally avoid NC-17 stories and some R, I'm not much of a slasher and even less into het, and so I don't feel I could use other people's OCs even if they're willing to let me. I wouldn't do a good job. Do we know the names of any military or medical personnel after Tom Ryan dies? I know Lester has a secretary(? assistant? Leek's replacement??) named Lorraine (whose last name is on IMDb, so I can look it up). That's the extent of my poor knowledge, outside of the regulars! Do you know any other minor characters still in the ARC?

I have others, too, but I really need to be doing work this afternoon. Back to the grindstone.
