Wo-ow. And you wrote that on a random (no puns intended) whim on the fly?

My Sylar is drooling, seriously, he's eating this up. I think he twitched into Zane territory and he's catching a free lecture from the professor.

You had me at 'Chaos has a pattern, however far-fetched or complicated it may be' because right there you've asked or created a question.

Loved the part about leaflets! Dunno why, but nature is a huge part of 'chaos'. Just think of oceans and the moon or something. (Nature! What a cool angle, why didn't I think of that?)

*I* always hated Mo's voice overs. I tune them out and couldn't tell you a word of his monologues I remember. That said, I love that you captured his voice and style in this. It kind of brings me back despite myself! I had a hard time reading it his voice was so strong (that's a good thing, though).

Well ... I spent about thirty minutes reading up on Chaos Theory this morning after my teleconference. Then about thirty minutes in the waiting room of my son's therapist this afternoon reading Mohinder's actual narratives and writing a first draft. Had about an hour of driving around when I could think about it. Then probably two hours revising it after I got home ( ... )

Oh, and thank you so much for your kind words! I really, REALLY appreciate it!

Ah, this is wonderful. It's like I can hear Mohinder saying this! :)

Yay! It is the sort of subject matter he'd go on and on about, for sure.

OMG, that was awesome!! I loved it! I even had to read it twice to understand it, because the first time I was just enjoying the words so much. This sounds perfectly like one of the intros, and your Mo voice is spot on! All your hard work paid off.

I wish I could get you write intros for all my RM episodes!

Glad you liked it!

One of the things I really like about the contests is that they encourage me to try new things.

Well done! And I totally read this with Mohinder's voice in mind. :D
