Thanks for the review.

He was a lot like Peter … another wash of memories Sylar didn't want flowed through his brain as his hand fell back to the table. But this time they weren't Nathan's. This comparison of Peter to Monty sticks with me and hits me in the gut and I don't even know why. It's some insight into Sylar's feelings that is unexpected and holds a question.
I love that Sylar can't go through with it. I love his emptiness over his latest kill. This whole piece is so... I'm just really there inside Sylar here, and it is a lonely unhappy place. Thanks!

I have my own mental representations of Monty and Simon, personality-wise. They echo Nathan and Peter, if the age gap was less and instead of having Arthur and Angela for parents they had Heidi and ... well, depends on the verse. Nathan is usually absent though.
Like in Slave Verse you got to see Simon all grown up out on the fishing trip with Peter and Gabriel. Something of Monty's life was discussed there too. Maybe it's a little weird that I have devoted a lot of thought to these fringe characters, but I have.

Monty and Simon would definitely be interesting characters to work with. There's so many ways you could go with them. And I can certainly see them being like Nathan and Peter. I don't think it's weird to think about these characters at all! Like I said there is so much to play with, it makes me want to. :-)
I love getting to write Monica and Ando and Molly and give them more/different attention than they were on the show. Heroes has such a rich universe of personalities to draw from. I guess that's why I am so satisfied to keep mostly to it as far as writing goes. It's also what draws me to Doctor Who.

"Jesus friggin' Christ that was amazing."
I've not said that in a long time.

I've been working real hard lately on becoming a better writer. Thank you! I'm glad it's noticeable. If you read Seeing Stars, you might see the transition. About chapter 4, I started really buckling down and trying to do a better job.
