This was wonderful! Combining that angst/humor takes a lot of talent - keep up the great work.

I really liked this story; I think you got the Captain and Trip perfectly in character. It was a lot of fun to read!

oh thats great... so funny! I like how T'Pol, THE T'Pol, made a monkey face! LOL So freakin' funny!

I loved it! Aw, I mean, it was one of the sweetest little short stories I've ever read. Archer's antics, the potatoes, the smile, yep, it was all good. Not enough of these little side stories I think, ones that are done well anyway. Yep, well done :)

I love this fic! It's brilliant! I didn't spot any mistakes either which makes it all the better.

If you haven't already, you should write more fics! I'm about to check your profile to see what other trekky fics you've written.

Cinn.

Ha ha! That was so great! Thank you !

I would think you'd have a problem with the whole series, as it paints Vulcans to be very aggressive and militant. They lie and spy on the Andorians. That's not like the Vulcans I know, either. They're more like Romulan-lite.

This story was written purely for fun, but I'd hate to think that your idea of the Vulcans doesn't allow them any diversity. They definitely have emotion, they just express it differently.

I thought of this story because of T'Pol being so completely Vulcan, and the idea of her father being this crazy old man, who adores human culture and likes the idea of expressing emotion. He's a Vulcan, but he thinks their tenets are a bunch of bunk. It's a fun twist on the Vulcan philosophy, and if the Vulcans were real, I'm sure there would be a Solvek or two among them.

such a cute story!

First:

Superninja- I (possibly mistakenly) have the feeling that your post here was in response to my review, so, you're welcome for reviewing your story.

Second:

Superninja and Ayla (again, I'm working under the assumption (possibly mistakenly) that part of your post referred to my previous one)- I thought the point of fanfiction was the creation of stories or exploration of the heart/mind/soul of established characters... part of that, I thought, would be keeping the characters in character. (This would mean not only individual characters, but races, on the whole, would adhere to the cultural characteristics previously established.) The "Anything goes!" philosophy (sp?) had honestly never occured to me. When I read the story, it seemed to me that it was mischaracterization of every single Vulcan in the story. That was the one, over-riding feeling that I got from the story, so that's what I said in my review.

Third:

Ayla (still working on previously stated assumption)- I read your post three days ago and waited to respond because I thought it would be give me a little objectivity. Not sure it did, but, here we go anyway- I never tried to "dismantle or dismiss your (Superninja or anyone elses) ideas ... without consideration." I read the story several times and my opinion (mischaracterization) did not change. That was my honest opinion and that's what I put in my review. That opinion was soley about the story/writing. I *never* made comment about the author personally (such as you did in reference to my being 'narrow minded'). I read few stories, only the ones that sound interesting in the 'blurbs' on the title screen... so far that's a scant handful. I intended to review more of them, but time constraints made me delay. Thank goodness I did delay and read what you had to say first. I will certainly not inflict my honest opinion in this forum again. Should I ever feel tempted to add a review, I'll simply add another 'that was great' 'that was cool' 'politically correct/praise only wanted' comment that seems to be the only kind accepted. Thank you for so clearly demonstrating to me that my honest opinion is not valid in these reviews.

Should either of you want to respond, I made sure to list my Email address so it could be done off the review page.

The very idea and principles that fanfiction stands for are how we, the audience and fans interpet the story. To some of us, every Vulcan may be secretly a miserable human, to others, Vulcans are Vulcans. I rather liked your concept of how there's more then one end of the spectrum. :) And I was rather displeased that some people are so narrow minded that they would try to dismantle and dismiss your ideas so quickly and without any consideration. Pay no heed to them, and continue to do an excellent job in sharing your views on the 'Enterprise' universe.

OOOH! I do love this story! I so think that T'Pol is like that, that she's just dying to laugh sometimes. :-)

T'Pol's father is so! cool! You write these characters well, keep up the good work!

Very creative. You have a good writing style.
