M Is For More


from Amanda Sichter



What a fine Christmas this has been (okay, it's been raining for about a week straight and I fear getting very wet while watching New Year fireworks but I'm still keeping up that boundless optimism). Anyway, seeing Y2K may be coming and we'll get it first, I thought I'd try and do a little more feedback.

M Liu (better known as Ascian): Loved Alliance - Gambit and Penance and all the reasons why he and Rogue don't work all in one little fic. And I very muched like the Beast/Cecilia/Marrow/Gambit one whose name currently escapes me. Very nice writing in all (and great taste in quotes!).

Madrigal Swan: Stage One: Infection was brilliant. I hope we get Stage Two: Afflication at some point. I'd like to see more of Seek and Destroy.

Maelstrom: Way cool stuff - you do great DC. Advice, Wrath and Don the Suit are all wonderful. And I know I have some more of your stuff tucked away in my Read file but I can't find it because it's under someone else's name but just assume praise is sent for all stories. And Tintin! I love Tintin. I grew up on Tintin. Killing Tintin will be a very bad thing if you do it. But maybe then you could turn your attention to Asterix (yes, okay, I'm a child at heart ).

Maggiecat: Payment was a *very bad thing* in that it made me laugh until I hurt. Loved it. And Alpha (nice Beast) and the Case of the Murdered Marty Sue (heck, I don't read GenX and still loved it). More please.

Magik!: The Night Shadow was just amazingly fabulous Gambit poem.

Mandy Lever: The Second Chances Arc. I read them, I love them. If GenX was actually written this way - this intelligent, sensitive, caring way - I'd read the comic. Instead I have to sit here and pine for you to put out the next story.

Matt Nute: The lot. Everything. Got it all there in my Read file. Loved it all. Funny, smart, touching, all different universes. Keep churning them out because I'll keep on adoring them.

Matthew Hemler (better known as Twiller): Quake2log.txt was wonderful and funny and actually made sense to me (whom wouldn't have a clue how to play Quake - whoops have I just confessed my computer illiteracy - I don't have time people!).

Mel: Well, aside from the fact that I now hate you for writing Desperate Times, Ramen Noodles because the only idea I have ever managed to squeeze out for a self-insertion fic was joining Beast as a research assistant and *you've done that now* ((insert icy voice)) I'm pretty cool because you did it so well. Anyway, another huge pile of stories I loved - I Saw The News Today, Oh Boy (awesome), Unwound Clocks (beautiful Moira), love the Baldacci-Brown stories, Believing Eyes (great Bobby), and By The Banks of the Danube (gurgled with laughter). Lovely, funny, gentle, intelligent stories all. Round of applause.

Menshevik: Song of the Valkyrior - 222 lines of alliterative verse! That's just - it was just - Wow! Sorry but just typing "222 lines of alliterative verse" rendered me speechless.

Mercutio: Chains, Planes & Strange Villains - loved Pete's reason for capture. Shoot Me - awesomely sad and yet strangely hopeful. Alkaline and Sestina in G Minor both beautiful poems.

Mice: Eskimo Pie was lovely Bobby (and thanks for your wonderful bio of the boy, too). And MSTie Me made me laugh til' I hurt.

Northlight: I've saved virtually everything you've ever sent to this list. Like Matt Nute there are too many to mention. But you have a wonderful talent for writing the short, witty vignette and I officially put up my hand and ask for more at this point.

Oberon: Loved Revanant. Excellent story in its own harsh and nasty way (ah, a man after my own heart )

Got to stop now. Hands hurting. Too many people starting with M. If I (and my 'puter) survive Y2K more feedback in the new year.
