Oh, nice! I'd really like to see more along these lines :-)

[starrylizard]

Thank you! I think I'd like to write a longer fic, prob not including this scene, but this was fun to get my feet wet. :)

This is a great premise and I like Morgan Tanner and your description of him as a hunter

[starrylizard]

Thank you! *grin* I think you are possibly the first person to give me solid con. crit. in a comment :)

1. Yep, I was aware of that, but in a rush. Guilty as charged, you can check the wiki link for proof. :P I could hear Ezra (Mag7) saying "technological" in his southern accent and I thought it might pass muster, but "mechanical" is much better. *stashes for later use*

Hmm, I am Australian and since you can't hear the difference I tend to use my own writing preferences. ie. Mr with no period. Believe me, that one is pointed out to me on a regular basis though (should have seen the Last Visible Writer comments I got), I'm simply stubborn. I try not use Australian terminology in place of American, but I stick to my own spelling.

2. Hold please, while we transfer you to the department of redundancy department. *giggles off chair* Point taken

Like it! Mr Tanner, huh? Like it lots. I'd love to see you expand on this. Y'know how I've got a fondness for certain Westerns...

[starrylizard]

Teehee! Yep, I'm developing the fondness for them too. Thank you! :)

Have a merry Christmas, Derry! :)

You posted this! *claps gleefully* This is such a fascinating concept, so I'm really glad to see you dabbling in it. I do hope more will be forthcoming!

Meanwhile, I hope I didn't drop the ball so far as beta-reading, since you said you were revising and rethinking the larger idea for the story. Anyhow, my services remain available to you, should you have need of me for anything in later writing! *tips ballcap* I hope you do, as this is such an interesting period in history and so few people dabble in it.

Love your Morgan Tanner, very interesting fellow, sort of a crusty blend of John Winchester and Vin Tanner, lol. I hope your muses will continue with this!
Cheers ~

[starrylizard]

Thanks, hon and nope, not a beta problem at all. I was just trying to quickly get a bit of it out to a deadline where I hadn't expected to have net access. Glad you like and I'm sure I'll use your services again soon! *grin*

Cheers

Yeah! You used my prompt!

Today I finally settled down and read it in peace... and I really do hope that you're inspired enough to write that longer fic you've been dropping hints about ;P

Loved the atmosphere, and Samuel's excitement, and Tanner's horse with the "unique" brand... so you've dabbled in M7 before? I didn't even think of that show when I offered the prompt, but I know that a lot of people in fandom right now started there... so it's pretty amazing that no one, to the best of my knowledge, wrote about Samuel Colt and his hunter before!

[starrylizard]

Actually, no, I haven't dabbled in M7 before. I recently borrowed the DVDs from derry667 though and I'm enjoying the show a lot... soo, I've started reading a few fics here and there and it was definitely inspiring me to take on the prompt. I can't wait to watch the rest of S2 when I'm back home. :)

I'm glad you liked the little bit I managed to write and hopefully in the new year I can write some more. Thanks for the awesome idea!

Happy New Year!! :)
