so great ( ... )

Cable never found the time to delve in depth into certain subjects, failed Mutant Messiahs being high on that list.

Magneto is of course skewing things in his direction and by his experiences, but he has more to say on this subject. There will probably be a Part 2: Teaching Through (Bad) Example and maybe even a Part 3: Surviving as the Next Great Hope, but I need to see more canon Hope first.

Friend away! I enjoy writing fanfic when I feel I can do justice to the voices.

Definitely looking forward to those, but we do need some more canon Hope so we know a bit more of what she's like when she's not just meeting people and reacting to things.

Your theory works, and I can imagine Cable glossing over a lot of history in favor of more practical lessons and skills, but what a wasted opportunity. I may show my nerdy colors in that if I had a time machine, I would immediately begin making notes for the most perfect and earth-shattering history book ever.

Also the most controversial. ;)

Very nice. I love the way you show Hope, being all curious and her reaction to Magneto. Though it was good that Scott let her listen to what he had to say.

Thank you. I wasn't far into thinking out Hope before I realized she was Nancy Drew. A somewhat naive, machine gun-toting Nancy Drew with a bit of a chip on her shoulder, but still Nancy Drew.

But it can't be coincidence that Hope and Magneto's background is so similar. The parallels simply sceam out.

Wow. That was lovely. It was interesting and thoughtful and in-character. I like the way you write Hope, she seems like a natural extension of what we know of her from canon.

crabby_lioness May 8 2010, 02:51:19 UTC

Thank you. Once I noticed that she was a 16-year old girl who's highly trained and has no idea whatsoever what her limits are, it was pretty clear she was basically Nancy Drew.

It was beautiful.
I love it

Thank you.

This was interesting. I was wondering when people would start writing Hope fic, and you did it in such a way that leaves you room for more, without disrupting canon.

Do you have plans for more Hope/Nancy Drew stories? Where would you like to see the actual canon go with Hope?

Thank you. That was fairly easy to do by following the conventions of the Stratmeyer Method, since superhero comics only modify it.

Do you have plans for more Hope/Nancy Drew stories?

Look higher up in the comments.

Where would you like to see the actual canon go with Hope?"The reason why children are so drawn to mystery stories is because they are spending all their time figuring out the Real World." That's from an analysis of the popularity of Stratmeyer's works. Realistically, Hope has a lot of things to figure out about herself, the world, and her place in it ( ... )
