I just love Winter/Tycho stuff and I love the RS comics. So glad that you mentioned when Winter capped Wedge over Tycho. Wish you had continued on with this one.

Wow, this review is gonna be *so* late, but I think it deserves to be mentioned. Most people fill their reviews with fluff like "I love it!" and "you must continue!" and don't really say anything worthwhile from a reviewing standpoint. So, when I find a good one that deserves to be reviewed, I make an effort to say something worthwhile.
So, here we go. I've never read "Masquerade," but from what I've seen of the occasionally comic excerpts I *have* seen, you did a great job of infusing the character of Winter with a sense of the real. She didn't seem like a character on the page, but more like a real person expressing something they've felt themselves (personal experience goes a long way to motivation! D). On the flip side of the coin, Tycho seemed kind of flat. That could probably be attributed to the fact that none of his motivations are really central to the plot, and I understand completely.

I enjoyed the new take on Winter, the hardline "bitch" image you painted in her internal musings. In other Stakepole books, I didn't get that impression of her. Actually, I didn't get much of an impression about her personality at all. I think your interpretation of her psyche may be a bit out of cannon, a deviation from the star wars universe, but I think it is a well-waranted one. It was definately well done, mature writing.
Contrary to what the others say, I think this is a good stand-alone piece. It depicts a turning point in their relationship (or looks like it), and if you continue with the Tycho/Winter stories, I believe you'd be lowering yourself to all the writers on who just want to play matchmaker. While this fic may be a romance, it actually has *substance* to it. You're a very promising writer, so don't stop any time soon )

Wow. Just...wow.
Perfectly done, detailed, described; the characters rang absolutely true. Wow.

Yay! Winter and Tycho! I think they're one of the better EU couples, next to Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik. I'm glad to see someone else likes Winter and Tycho too! Great story.

I really liked this. There's little enough about the Rogues; at least most of it's good-like this definately was. Very Winter/Tycho interaction. And maked Masquerade a lot deeper at parts.

I love Winter/Tycho stories! (I bet you never would have guessed.) Please write more.

I loved it! It's my favorite comic and a good story.

gag? how can anyone gag at that? winter/tycho rules! I never read the comics, but I thought stackpole's books were def some of the better ones I've read. (2nd only to the great Zahn's). Are you gonna write more tycho/winter stuff? you really should!

Great!
