And this is late at any rate, but it needed to be said.
Lost and Found was absolutely incredible. Dramatic and involving, with strong action, and wonderful, compelling characters, the X-Men and the firstgens alike. I couldn't bear to stop reading once, not even to run to the kitchen for something to drink. I had to read the whole thing, then and there. I couldn't bear to tear myself away, even for a moment. The tension as the ending drew near was almost palpable; and the suspense, waiting to read the ending, was nail-biting. This was just... It was... There is no single word to sum up how great I thought this was.
You are all such amazingly talented, brilliant writers, who should really be told that as often as possible. You just... You all have a gift for making me truly care about these characters and what happens to them, at least for the duration of the story. This RPG has produced some exceptional writing in the past. And this was certainly up there. Strong action, well-plotted, dramatic, emotionally-compelling, and involving. I started reading this RPG a little before Asgard, and I still can't find a way to describe how much I love what you're doing here. I love this game. It's better than canon, frankly.
So, thank you for your talent. This is an incredibly fun game to watch, and I hope it is at least as much fun for the people doing it.

On a sidenote, I love the new kids like mad...Kyle, Catseye, Forge, Sharon, Danielle and particularly the purple cat!
Heeheehee!

Besides, ever since the mall went boom I secretly hope that Kyle will get a rematch with Toad and beat him up like whoa. And Sabretooth too, but maybe it's healthier to put that away for later.

Date: 2005-02-10 11:40 pm (UTC)I was lucky enough to have six willing, eager, and super-enthusiastic plot-partners on this one. They made every bit of this an absolute joy to do, so that would be why it turned out so well in the end. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :) Feedback, whee!

Date: 2005-02-11 12:18 am (UTC)Absolutely and totally appropriate. -g- Feedback is love.
And I agree with you 150%. Everybody who worked on Lost and Found earned mad kudos.

Date: 2005-02-11 05:46 pm (UTC)Why I follow the game...

y_character:OMG, he's got lung cancer! LOL! um, er*shakes head* 'So, you wanna do something to night?'
This is the only game I follow, because reading the logs for this game, even with the alternating viewpoints, is like reading good fanfiction. It doesn't really read like a game, more like a sprawling, multi-viewpointed novel. Or possibly a long-running television show.
Reading this over, it doesn't seem to have explained anything at all, actually.
Re: Why I follow the game...
Date: 2005-02-11 11:07 pm (UTC)And seriously, the shocker for me as a player wasn't so much that people read the game, it was that my character's relationship is an OTP for some readers. That positively blew my mind.

*ponders*

Think it's time for the boy to visit the Mansion, don't you?

It's a tribute to your talents as a writer! Soon, you shall go to a convention and have an army of crazed fans at your heels, demanding to know the fate of their OTP! Perhaps you should start running. ;)
Re: Why I follow the game...
Date: 2005-02-11 11:39 pm (UTC)Yes, I'm running away as fast as I can.

poor bastardlucky, lucky player andtorturepersuade them to attend. Then we could make them hold a panel!Also, there should be action figures! I don't know how we'd get action figures, but dude!
"This is my Cable figure! If you squeeze him, his brains come out his nose!"
"Hey, I've got Mad Moira. Wanna do swaps? But Moira was discontinued when her accessory coffee was deemed a bio-hazard after it ate through the packaging and started in on the floor, so I think you should throw in your Jamie figure."
"Man, the Jamie figure sucks. I whacked it on the table, and all that happened was the head fell off."
Cable's figure needs a cool name. I'm pretty sure Cranium Crusher is taken, and Nosebleed Nate just doesn't sound right.
