I made it to the Recommended list? That's got to be worth at least 10 reviews!! ;D ;D Yep, this is the first venture of our own herumor, posted a few weeks back ... now if his embarrassingly slow beta could call in a RL sick day now and then (what better way to get a beta day? ;D) he might be able to get more posted ... Read and review!! ;D Wow, beta AND advertisement services?? You're spoiling me, you know And as I said before, you should get a sick day or two...and sleep them away. You work too hard ;D

I’m so fic-greedy, didn’t read properly and searched FFnet for the update. ;D And as I said before, you should get a sick day or two...and sleep them away. You work too hard ;D Yes, just tell them that after betaing my fic you couldn’t drive because you were blinded by the ever the same stupid mistakes and deteriorating English. ;D

Herumor-- did you set up your account to allow 'anonymous' reviews? You're missing out otherwise, because it will limit your reviewers to those who are members, and then only if they've logged in. Never let an opportunity go by for a review! ;D

I wish you knew how funny that sounds (and yes, as both ironic and giggly) after my latest drive home -- 80 more minutes of me trying to make my tongue and brain handle Deutsch! I can't even ask to buy a silly newspaper, and your English is better than 90% of the natives here! So I suspect I'd better come up with a better excuse for a sick day... (why is it that "I'm sick of work!" is never appropriate, when it's so often TRUE?)

So I suspect I'd better come up with a better excuse for a sick day... You can always start talking loudly about how much you liked "Falling Down", grinning and muttering to yourself... ;D (why is it that "I'm sick of work!" is never appropriate, when it's so often TRUE?) Sadly, it is true, but it was used so often that it's no good anymore . That was a very enjoyable read. Hope you will continue with this story because is sure isn't finished.

Never let an opportunity go by for a review! ;D Nope, anonymous reviews are allowed, got a few already...FFN must be on the throwing a temper tantrum again...

Thanks! ;D Chapters 2-6 are written and being edited. Chapters 2 and 3 are mostly done (no pressure, Shy! ;D) and ready to post, and they'll be up together.

Just when I complained that there aren’t any new writers: Someone coming from Supernatural AND writing M/L... What About Now by Paper Roses and Candy Kisses. (After Freak Nation and some virus plans it seems)

Definitely don't mean to rain on the excitement of a potentially new M/L writer, but that story is labeled in its central figures as a M & A. I figure its better to put forth a slight warning lest our delicate M/L sensibilities are unexpectedly barraged by a non-Logan love scene. However, if I'm proven wrong I will happily read and review.

(After Freak Nation and some virus plans it seems) This story does not appear to be M/L. I might be wrong, my impression was based on A. calling their relationship a ‘pretence’, Logan searching for a virus and this sentence: “Max knew she didn’t love A. like that, she loved him as a friend, as a brother, but not as anything more. That love was reserved for someone else.”I know some here don’t like reading anything after S1, which is why I mentioned the story being after ‘Freak Nation’ and having the virus. Of course I can’t read the author’s mind or predict which way the story is going to turn and apologize if I lured somebody into reading something upsetting.

No worries, I don't think anybody has read anything offensive. And I'm glad you're out there scoping out the new talent for us. I can also see why you would think its M/L... of course in my opinion I can't understand why everyone isn't M/L :-)

Speaking of Max & alec fics - a friend of my sister copies and pastes Max and Logan little gems from M/a fics, mixes them up and makes little stories. I've read a few and there is some funny stuff. And some sweet stuff. They were all in their early teens back in 2000 and now they're all in college. They have a little M/L fic 'club' and try to meet once a month. This group had a web site 'back in the day' but the broken world or nuns with pens kept spamming them so they went private. No, I can't access their site.

I can also see why you would think its M/L... of course in my opinion I can't understand why everyone isn't M/L :-) At first I got the same impression, that it was M/A, specially after they are written as living together for a long time, a year I think. But all three main characters state in their inner monologue that; Max sees A as a friend and companion, but doesn't love him. A sees her in the same light, and tells her straight out that she's in love with Logan. Logan is searching for the cure desperately, and suspects that M&A relationship is not what it seems and is not given up hope. Also there's a sentence that gave peace of mind So it seems that we have M&A sharing an apartment for convenience's sake, they're not together either romantically or sexually, Max loves Logan and Logan loves Max. ;D On the other hand, the writer IS a fan and writes mainly for Supernatural, so that would explain the fascination with pretty boy J... but I digress. Overall, the story has a very real L/M feel, and with any luck we'll have a new complete story for the archives...although I'm not sure we do have a new M/L writer in the fandom...time will tell.
