yay! and it's ok to have the same quote- i will relinquish and give you full credit- you introduced it to the OreO genre  oh yeah! I hope you don't mind I used your chibis (i noticed you're using them). I couldn't find a place to put your name on the work though  |

Yep! Btw did you try the Bunny suit idea for a fanart again?
Oh, and "Amazing Grace" won´t be updated this week end...Maybe later in the week, and the Ghost is more likely to be updated first...But good news, since my friend is here I´ll ask him to scan some of my drawings...so soon I´ll be posting more fanarts on the group...I meant to ask you this about the group: Are you having trouble deleting your images from the albums? Because I can´t...there´s no delete option...

that's weird- i haven't been having any problems. i'll go take the photo modding off and see if that helps. i'm such a dork that any time you update, I'll be happy. Even if i hate to wait for it, it's worth it. Yay! more fan arts! I tried that pic again but still felt all thbbbb over it  I haven't been doing much drawing lately, writing seems to be dominating my creative energy lately |

I see...Which reminds me, Do you have a new chapter for "True Romance" coming soon? Oh, and not meaning to push, but did you take a look at the rest of that untitled fic...I´m making the changes, and as soon as I have most of "Ghost" and "Amazing Grace" on track I´ll beging to really work hard on it, which is why I wanted some early opinion to give me a boost^^

untitled fic? the one I accidentally beta'd? I didn't know there was as econd part to it  The last part I read was the shampoo (to not give away too much). I really like how you had it though- and as you explained, it was a rough draft I love The Ghost but Amazing Grace is my fave- how you are scripting it is like a well written novel (and not a cheesey dime novel either) but rather a well orchestrated meeting of two people- you are the Moirae of fics, intertwining the characters lives artfully and skillfully where the reader gets a feel for the characters and sympathizes with them every step of the way True Romance is being tweaked as we speak. I had a rough spot for a bit but a couple pieces are falling into place. I'm hoping to get something out in the next two weeks. What i hate is i get ideas when it's not ideal to write (e.g. at work) so I have to scribble something down or e-mail it to myself and then once I get home, the flow has passed. But, i'm keeping with it- although this is one of my 'dull (to me) wrap-up-stuff-so-you-can-get-back-to-action' chapters, it's not terrible. |

The "acidentally beta´d" part you sent me stopped on ::::spoiler::::the conversation soon after he arrives, at Catherine´s::::end spoiler::::So I didn´t know what were your opinions on the rest...
Oh, I always blush when you talk about my stuff...But I have to agree with you about "Amazing Grace" it has a more interesting sense of Destiny to it...."The ghost" is purely a literary amusement, because I love Ghost stories, and I wanted to make something in New Orleans...By the way, I couldn´t do it today, but I´ll make a new folder just for my fics related to the Lebeau siblings, and there will be stats for them (like date of birth, height, eye color, mutant powers...Little hint: one of them won´t be a mutant at all...)
Yep, muses can be capricious like that...But you´re more organized than me...I can´t make notes or anything of the likes...I just replay my idea in my mind several times to not forget^^ I´m waiting for the next chapter anyway...

haha- organized is definitely an overstatment. I have probably 10 journals from unused ideas that I have to try and flip through to find bits of Fairy Tale Epic- I've been writing that since I was 15 years old! Ack! I'm sorry I never sent the rest or even a review on that- I'll flip through and see if I can find it in my inbox. I felt bad beta'ing more if I wasn't supposed to Everything I say about your fics I mean- if i didn't like them, I'd be really really quiet- lol. If I'm quiet about a fic it means a) I didn't read it or b) i don't want to be mean and I never have to worry about a or b with you because if you write it, I read it OMG! you're the first to reach past 'Peter Milligan' status!!! lol I don't know if you noticed that. YOu have to reach 50 posts to graduate to Grant Morrison. I'm such a nerd, i put rankings of x-men writers as the status titles  |

Hahah...you´re a little like me when it comes to review fics...And yeah, you´re organized. In my book you are... at least you can keep journals....Every time I tried it I couldn´t make past the second page...I just end up doodling all ove the rest...And eventually using pages to keep spilled cofee or water to reach my books while I try to ind the actual cleaning thingy...
As I said, you didn´t have to beta(since it wasn´t the final text) it but opinions/sugestions are always welcome if you have any(I mean I loved the idea of the studant exchange for example, and might use it, giving you the credit), and if you want to correct my grammar and stuff I don´t mind at all...

Btw...thank God I graduated past Milligan...Had a hard time even at the mention of the man´s name as status title ^^ Good thing you don´t have Hudlin as status title...Just out of curiosity...Which writer would be the higher status?

it goes: Peter Milligan 0-4 posts Chuck Austen 5-49 Grant Morisson Alan Davies 150-199 Scott Lobdell 200-249 Fabian Nicieza 250-299 Chris Claremont 300 and up I admit, it was difficult choosing placing Scott and Fabian- they easily tie as my faves but it is common knowledge Chris Claremont (though a little off these years) is THE SCRIBE of the X-men. I didn't even think to put Hudlin, although he would have to be after milligan for character assassination. I still have a slight soft spot for Austen as he penned the touching Gambit/Storm love/death in Exiles. I don't think many will ever reach 300 posts but if the board takes off, I'll try and find more writers to add to the mix to push the status up to more posts |
