Interesting. I've read quite a few of your fics and I like them all a great deal (I'm going to try to secure a copy of your book as well!). As for what you said about your Murdock pup (since that's the Marvel character I'm the most familiar with), I think you get him really well. I'm actually a fairly new Daredevil fan who's managed to plow through the entire history of the comic in the last year, so I should "know" him, and I think he feels very much in character the way you write him. And that's coming from someone who gets a little annoyed when fanfics are too far removed from canon (though a little artistic license is totally fine). I just find him to be such an intriguing character, psychologically, "professionally" (both sides of the law), and in terms of his rather unique "view" of the world. Not to mention his love life... :)
Anyway, have a Happy New Year and good luck with all of your projects!
Thank you--I'm glad you like my fics, and I hope you enjoy my book if you read it. :)

Hee! I was the same way when I discovered Daredevil a few years ago. I watched the movie and loved it, then went out and bought a bunch of TPBs right away. (And now I have a shelf of DD comics and, like, no real knowledge of the rest of Marvel comics canon, lol.)
I think he feels very much in character the way you write him. And that's coming from someone who gets a little annoyed when fanfics are too far removed from canonThanks again. :) The way I see it, so many writers have written their interpretations of Matt (and Foggy, for that matter) in the comics, I think it's fair to create my own fanon as long as I stay true to the essence of the characters. That's kind of my view about writing comics/comics-movieverse fic in general. It's more important to me to get the sense of the characters right/to make them believable

You really do nail Matt's character. I think I want you to write the next Daredevil novel. It's been waaaaaay too long since one was published, and you could do it up in spades. I was speaking to someone about this the other night, and think that the biggest difference between "Predator's Smile" and "The Cutting Edge" (besides a man writing the first and a woman writing the second)is the page time we get with Matt Murdock as a lawyer, being the smart guy he really is, solving the mystery with more than his fists. There would be a good market for a new DD novel, I think. Pitch it, and see if they come to the diamond.
Anyway, have a Happy New Year and good luck with all of your projects!
