Writing someone into a story is an interesting endeavor. Writing a couple into a story is whole other level. You have to get a feel not just for two characters not of your own making, but for how they relate to each other as well. It took a goodly amount of time before I felt like I "got it" with these two.

Amusingly(to me, at least), I used Roger and Jessica Rabbit as a starting off point for crafting TLink and Stacky. It's not an exact fit, and it was just a starting point, but the resemblance is there. And the underlying dynamic works well for a story that's as random and unrepentantly silly as this one.

Thanks go to for reviewing the first draft and pointing out its deficiencies. I had a "Sheesh, how did I not see that?" moment when I got his feedback. Fixing it in a satisfactory way proved infuriatingly difficult, but it was well worth the effort. This was an exceedingly fun project to do, and I'm quite happy with the result.
