Hey, guys, A!A here... I don't know where to begin D:
I thought this was a really great, funny prompt. My intent wasn't to 'compete' with the prompt or try to make mine 'funnier,' so I felt comfortable taking this a little in my own direction. To clarify, this is crack. I went heavy on the black humor with this one, which possibly wasn't the ideal way to go about filling this particular prompt.
From my standpoint, the cannon Courier already walks a fine line in the Mojave with being loved and being hated--either from direct actions or the fact that she is too 'perfect'--and I felt that a more flamboyant Courier would irritate that opinion. I see the Mojave as a rough place with rough people, most of whom are trying to grab power. Enter this bangin' Courier, and I expect the reaction wouldn't be complete acceptance. The lay people might worship her (like my female NCR soliders, who although initially resented her perfection came to idolize it), though I would expect that any respect from the powerful people of the Mojave would be undercurrented with fear and resentment--which is what I tried to showcase in AWG.
At this point, I would feel more comfortable with a little input from OP and commenters on what direction I should continue. I could go on as I see fit, but please feel free to tell me if I should tone it down, make it a lighter fic, go in a different direction, ect. I don't mind the input, as this is someone's prompt, and I admit to taking a liberal interpretation to something that was meant to be light and funny.
