You are brilliant beyond measure, and this was wonderful.

I still want to know what possessed me to do this based on what I was given, but hey, it earned me brilliance, so I win!

Thanks, sweetie. I'm really glad you liked it.

Seconded, in six-part harmony, but...what is this a fanfic of?

I can't decide if I want to find the canon or not. After reading this, it may just disappoint me.

Global Frequency was a comic book series by Warren Ellis; every issue was, effectively, this story. Here is a situation, here are the specialists, here are the specialists versus the situation, lather, rinse, repeat. It was absolutely brilliant, and I highly, highly recommend it.

Best of all, because every issue was different -- a different situation and set of characters, with Miranda and Aleph connecting them -- there was something in it for absolutely everyone. The series has been collected in TPB form. Read it.

Okay, I might actually read this, since the whole idea of GF seems to be random stories like this, and I haven't actually read the comic, so maybe I will read this even though I don't read fanfic.

Have you seen the GF pilot yet? It is so damn cool. Too bad it didn't make it to series.

[cadhla]

Cool beans -- and yeah, that's pretty much what GF is/was. I'm kinda tempted to do a GF ficathon, with the ruling being that you can't center on Miranda or Aleph.

I've downloaded the pilot, but haven't watched it yet.

[spectralbovine]

But don't most stories not center on Miranda or Aleph? I thought they centered on the Hero of the Moment, with Miranda and Aleph providing the key info. I mean, it'd be hard to have a story without them, since they're the ones contacting everyone, right? Unless you want the story of Johnny Monkey on a day when he's not on the Frequency, and all he can think about is all the lives he's not saving, or maybe his city is about to be blown up but someone else is taking care of it and man, he hopes that guy is good cause otherwise he's fucked, huh.

Actually, several of the stories focus on either Miranda or Aleph, fairly heavily. The main Aleph-centric story is one of my favourites.

That was awesome. Gah. I miss GF and now I wanna run to the comic store and get a much needed fix.

[cadhla]

I love that people who love the series enjoyed this. I am a happy geekling now.

[pbristow]

Wow.

Never heard of GF before. Loved this. Gripping.

Wow.

[cadhla]

It's a brilliant series. I'm really tempted to go back and re-do this with proper research, rather than scraps I remembered from my 'Folklore of London' class, but, well. No time just now.

You should really read GF.

Now I must borrow more comics...Have finished what you had of Invincible...will now go back for a re-read to see if I think is what happed is what happend...Or not. Should be interesting nonetheless.

Will read Fables this weekend at my Dad's.

[cadhla]

Since I don't know what you think happened, I'll have to talk to you about it later on!

I thought you'd enjoy those.

Let me know what you think of the Fables.
