did you suspect it was me/figure it out after that comment I replied to, or was this sufficiently misleading? - Once you responded I knew it was you. But it was fun to know!

I left a comment the day before remix assignments were mailed out.

That is a freaky coincidence. So cool!

In the end, I debated between remixing Hi, Mom as a parallel dialogue between Wilson's mother and her own mom, and remixing Green as, believe it or not, a medieval times AU. But I'd been wanting to write a fic using the Jewish-like (in my head) grandmothers of all the characters for a while by then, and your fic was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Glad I gave you an opportunity, although a medieval times AU would've been so cool!

How then could this woman be so unaccepting , uncompromising, in denial about reality to a sometimes ridiculous degree? How could she seem so prejudiced?

An important question: will email you (the address on your user info page) to discuss.

Adding Judy into the story accomplished a number of things: it gave House and Wilson an ally from within the family, so that even without Evelyn's support they didn't feel so alone (and it probably lessened some of Wilson's anger at his mother); it gave Evelyn someone to confide in and feel insecure about, and hopefully reminded readers that after all, Evelyn was only human too; and of course, it brought the character of Judy to life, which, in my opinion, yay :-) The more strong Yiddish-speaking old women the better, I say.

All great things that really add to the universe and expand the story beyond its previous parameters. Awesome.
