Who knows the canon as fanatically as I do.
I really only got into the fandom last year, and I'd have to admit to skim-reading a lot of the older issues. (My tolerance for Liefeld-art is... somewhat limited.) But I do seem to have this weird love for continuity-heavy stories - sometimes hunting down the backstory and piecing it all together is half the fun even when half of it inevitably contradicts the other half - and there are a lot of bits from the old canon that I really enjoyed. Hence: fic! Most of the feedback I've had on it so far have been from people who only know C&DP - which is fine, but it's gratifying to finally have a few people reading who're getting something out of all the old canon references. :3
Minor point, I notice you commented on the second last last chapter of this fic, you did see the more recent one too, right? Just I've already had one person today who missed it somehow. ^^;

Oh, yes, I caught the last chapter! :) Just commented on this one b/c of the Notes section.
Yeah, Liefeld art is...terrifying. I have likened his depictions of mouths to...well let's just say I think they resemble the back end of the human anatomy. And not the nice curvy part. It's either that or the faces look like monkeys. *shudder* Thank goodness for Fabian Nicieza stepping in to write Deadpool as a memorable and awesome character.
Oh, I love obscure references to canon. I use them a lot at ask_deadpool. *g* And in That One Story Fic I Never Finished But Will Someday I Swear. It's completely old-school, although the second half (if there ever is one) will skip forward to include Cable. (Shameless pimping, even though it's not finished: http://foresthouse.livejournal.com/474286.html :)
Have you seen the mood theme Addy and I made a while ago? It's here:Reply

I think he has about two different ways of drawing mouths, the D: face, and the one you described, and neither of them are fit for polite company. I will never get my head around the idea his art used to be a sales success.

It's kind of weird to remember that he was doing the scripts from very early on in Cable's 90's period. The quality only improved when Liefeld finally left the title though.
Read the fic. Got a bit lost in the intros, but you do write one gloriously and hilariously authentic Deadpool. XD
Nice mood theme too. I think it says a lot for the emotional rollercoaster factor of Cable&Deadpool that you found something to fit so well with everything. (Can't ( ... )

Oh, the "weird" pic! Hee. That's from when Cable's been lobotomized and the Six Pack has been drawn into his subconscious. There are a number of funny teapots on the table. :D
