See, I made that statement because of the reasons stated immediately above it - the impossibility of trying to keep a comic fic current, especially when you don't have the budget or the inclination to follow the series that are being covered anyway.

But I only just realized that, having capped the universe's timeline like that, I've got an anchor point that I could, if I felt like it, work backward from. I've established the setting and the don't-correlate-this-too-closely-to-the-comics ground rules sufficiently with Destroys that I could probably get away with going back and showing earlier adventures of Don, Kitty, and company if I had ideas for them - either from the Excalibur period with Ray, or even all the way back to his days as an X-Man (although those would be kind of weird to do, since Don Griffin was in those days probably the only Time Lord ever to harbor a hopeless high school crush :).

Dropping tidbits about some of their earlier adventures in the discussion threads about Destroys made me think of that... I'm not saying I have any such project in the works right now, because I don't, but if one were to come along, I figure I could probably work it out.

(If anybody's interested, anyway. It's not like the world really needs more X-Men fanfic. :)

Well, I, for one, would not be adverse to seeing a bit more of the true origins of the Griffin powersuit.

Given how unequivocally I fail to give a flying fuck about American superhero comics in general, this is a pretty firm statement of interest.

Or a compliment to your skills, if you prefer it that way. ^_^

Blessed be.

Personally, I would love to read the adventure alluded to in Destroys where the Doctor, Kitty, and Logan rescue Don and Rachel from Gallifrey. It sounds like exactly the sort of cross-universe fusion that you excel (no, not you, Excel, get back in your window) at.

At the risk of nit-picking or breaking rule #1, would there be any chance of us seeing HL Gryphon's discussions with Don?

I'm interested. X-men fanfic in a specific set timeline that I might actually understand by people both greater than 15 and native speakers of my language sounds like a good thing to me.

That's the opinion of a fan anyway. Besides, I want to see what happened when Don and Rachael started dating (I just want to see Scotts face turn that special shade of red and purple :)

Most of the fanfic I read is anime based, so I can't say whether or not more X-Men fics are needed, but I can say that good fanfic is always appreciated. And I've yet to read anything from EPU I didn't enjoy.

Besides, I'd love to see/read how Don and Vic became friends. 8) Plus I bet that invisibility coat of his must have made for some great pranks when Ol'one-eye came back. 8)

If you write it, I'll read it, Gryph.

*Looks up at string of replies, then looks to Gryphon, and then speaks in a jokingly sarcastic tone* Gee, I think they want more. Though I haven't read it yet (Been too busy helping my fiance move) I most likely will thoroughly enjoy it and anything else related, knowing what your work is like.
