 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-12 . chapter 15A Great ending to a great fic! I liked the screen time you have gave Maggie's parents and especially the conversation Albert has with Logan. Another good part is how Maggie deals with what her mother got out Warren and how she was greeted at the Xaivers school. I also liked the conversation Hank and Josh had as well as how it lead to Maggie FINALLY discovering her boy friend is a super hero, which is a bit obvious considering his powers and the fact that he is Hanks best friend.
Dave got what he deserves, after all slipping like he did is very painful and he probably had to wait for a long while for help to come. Then there is all he will have to go through trying to pay off his medical bills. He'd had gotten off much lighter if Albert had beaten the crap out of him.
I can't see Hank having a large a fan base but it only makes sense for certain people both human and mutant, for humans it's be some science geeks but he'd have to share them with other scientist super hero's like Doctor Pym or Reed Richards and for mutants it's be mostly those who resemble predatory mammals or apes.
About Josh, his having feline senses makes sense considering his looks, but they must make it a bit difficult to perform certain chemistry experiments due to his sense of smell, and I have to wonder if he has any other feline abilities such as balance or agility. Also I have to say I feel he has to have super human strength since in the Marvel Universe the really tall heroes (Like the Hulk or Sasquatch) are among the strongest Heroes.
You really should do the Hank centric fic you have been planing, preferably with Josh still working as a lab assistant in the first chapter or two. It'd also be a good opportunity for Jubilee to meet Maggie and Josh, Jubilee would probably like Josh simply because he idolizes Hank and tease him in a friendly way about his appearance or at least his being a science geek. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-11 . chapter 14Another Truly Great Chapter! I liked every ones reaction to the news about Maggie, especialy Bobby, and Hank offer. Another good part is Logan's thoughts, words and actions when he returned to the Quick stop. I also liked the scene in Maggie's hospitle room, Maggie's funny disconect from reality and the conflict between Besty and Janice were very well done.
Ororo and Jean are Bobby's good friends so it's natural would look out for him but considering his history i'd think they'd be restrained in there "assistance" until they'd learned enough about the girl to know if she was a few steps up from his previous love interests.
Well i wouldn't quite compaire the founding fathers with the Avengers but they were very amazing and interesting people who drew from a number of very differnt sources to lay the ground work for the USA. What is even more amazing is that they managed to turn thirteen differnt nations that had often quarreled with each other into a single country. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-11 . chapter 13I like how the old couple discovered Maggie and the Conversation between Maggie's parents. Another good part is Maggie's mother's thoughts on why she has been so intrusive with her daughter. I also like how Wolverine reacts to discovering the robbery and how he lets Rouge & Remy know what happened.
The Anti-Mutant prejudice of Brubaker is very realistic as one only has to look at what happened to many Northern Whites who went south during the civil rights era to help Blacks or what happened to Kevin Costner's character in the Movie Dances with Wolves.
As for accent's, yeah they shouldn't drop them any more than Beast should start speaking the vernacular rather than sounding like someone who memorized or swallowed a thesaurus. But i can understand dropping Wolfsbane's accent, i find it's hard to do a proper Scots accent with out over doing it or slipping into a Irish accent.
Also about Maggie and Logan, i just feel that Logan gives off a kinda tough/dangrous guy aura perfect by all the time he has spent in rough company. Also a Muscular guy who gunts and growls is is some one to treat with respect. On the other hand i can see how Maggie could ignore that since she is a good clerk who Logan would have less than no reason to dislike and was a guest at the mansion when she was standing up to him. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-11 . chapter 12Another Very Good Chapter! I like Maggie's coversation with her father and the time she spent with her mother at the begining of the chapter. Another good part is Rouge and Gambit's exchange brought on by there concern for Bobby, you did a good job with there accents. I also like the scene where Maggie gets robbed, it's clear that it was a real robber as if Dave had put him up to it the guy wouldn't have been so jumpy.
I mostly agree with you about Bobby's powers and his being stuck as Ice. As for Jubilee and Maggie, if they were introduced by Hank or Bobby then they would get along pretty well since Jubilee is good friends with them and they share a dislike of there "real" names. However if Jubilee meet her as Betsy's friend then the wouldn't get along at first as Jubilee jealousy of Besty over the older womans figure is made worse by the fact that Betsy looks Asian (Logan has a thing for Asians) and there bad first meeting, Besty probably dislike's Jubilee a little because of the younger girls hostility and disrespect combined with Jubilee's telepathic invisibility (which if Jubilee has any control over it would be quite active arounf Besty) so any conversation between the two would be irritating for Betsy.
Some of my favorite moments in comic books are Non-super hero moments, like She-Hulk's getting fired from her Law firm because her being a big party girl and her Super heroing are getting in the way. Spiderman spending time with his wife, eating a doughnut or reading a newspaper in some strange way like clinging to the side of a building or hanging upside down from a webstrand. Also the "normal" person POV like in this fic, Farewell Sunshine or the Comic series Spiderman Loves Mary Jane give a fresh interesting look at well know characters that often shows sides of them that are new or rarely seen.
BTW I have see your devient art page and like your work. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-07 . chapter 11Another Excellent Chapter! I like the scene Maggie shared with Logan at the begining and her semming total lack of fear of him. Another good part is Magie's short coversation with Josh, Geniuses can be so annoying at times. I also really like the scene with Maggie and Hank. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-12-07 . chapter 10Another Uncannily good chapter, As a history buff i throughly aprove of both Maggie's choice of studies and insistance on a fuller view of history. I like how Maggie meets Hank and everyones immediate reaction, although Maggie's full reaction was a bit much. Another ghood part is how you reveal that one of Maggie's brother is a mutant and that he has a relatively extream physical mutation. I also Hanks reaction to finding out he has a fan.
BTW What kind of Mutant powers does Josh have or is he just really big and furry? |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-11-28 . chapter 9Another Great chapter! I really liked Maggie's encounter and conversation with Xavier, one of the best parts was that she didn't know it was him until they were pretty much done talking. Another good part is that Iceman is a expert Icecream maker (makes a lotta sense once you think about it). I also liked how Remy was looking out for his lady, Rouge+Remy is one of the few X-pairings i strongly support. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-11-20 . chapter 8Another terrific Chapter! I like that you have given a little more info on Maggie's siblings and how your foreshadowing that Brubaker will be giveing Maggie trouble becasue she is tolerant of mutants. Another good part is Maggie's distributing the sugary loot she brought and the revalations about Maggie's mother. I also like how through out this fic you have given little reminders that Betsy Braddock is British. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-11-15 . chapter 7Another fabulous chapter! The friendly conversation between Bobby and Alex at the begining was. I really liked how you describe Maggie's seduction of Bobby and his stunded reaction. Another good part is the scene with Maggie and Jenny. I also really like how Jenny gave it to Lorna! |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-28 . chapter 6Another really good chapter! I like how much of a worthless petty tyrant Dave Brubaker is (he really is a characte i love to hate). Another good part is Betsy's teasing of Bobby and his raction to the announcement that Polaris' will be visiting. I also like the scene where Logan and Maggie share a pie, it makes me wonder even more about how Maggie and Jubilee would get along. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-27 . chapter 5Another Fantasic Chapter! I really like how Maggie and Bobby's relationship is progressing. Another good part is Ororo and Jean's little discussion about the weather. I also like how Maggie is interacting and build freindships with the X-ladies (besides Betsy). |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-20 . chapter 4Really good chapter! I liked Gambit's recation to Bobby's hideing Maggie and the advice he gave to Bobby. Another good part was that Iceman keeps his room ice cold most of the time. I also really like Maggie's nick names for various X-men. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-18 . chapter 3Excellent Chapter! I like or rather like to hate Dave Brubaker, he makes a good antagonist for Maggie. Another good part is Maggies conversation with her little brother. I also liked how Bobby kidnapped Maggie. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-18 . chapter 2Great chapter, i really like how no one other than Betsy knows who Maggie is. Another good part is the interaction between Maggie and Bobby, the Iceman deserves to get the girl for once. I also like her recation to his attempt to tell her that he is a mutant. |
 Fionn the Otaku 2007-10-17 . chapter 1Maggie is another great OC i love the perspective she has on the X-men. It's also great to see Poor Bobby with a nice girl, he is one of my favorite X-man characters.
I wonder how Maggie would get along with Jubilee? I mean on the one hand Jubilee is good friends with Iceman but on the other hand I'm pretty sure Jubilee dosen't like Betsy much, partly because of how they first meet what with Psylocke being the Mandarin's servent and all. |
