OMG! This is so great. I love the twist on the everyone thinks we're dating thing.

Luke! I love Luke, and his preference for lecturing people he beats up, and his aversion to the media and portmanteaus.

Jan and Ororo's lunches are great, and the aliens were cleverly done.

All in all, YAY!

Thank you! This was my first time writing the MA verse, and they are so much fun to write - especially Jan, Ororo and Luke. The aliens were fun, too! Inventing alien species is one of my favorite parts of writing sci-fi-ish fanfiction. :-)

This is generally kind of awesome and hilarious. And Luke! And sekrit!shipping! And the blue-ish, colour-changing aliens made my day. They are awesome and, like you, I find the "design an alien today!" part of SF to be really fabulous.

A fun read. :D

Designing aliens is so much fun! I'm glad you liked the Wik - they evolved out of the question, 'how could communicating with aliens be mistaken for a game of Twister?' and it went from there.

Thanks for the comment - I'm glad you enjoyed!

Ah, I love this so much! I was reading it at work and snickering like a loon. XD I adore misunderstandings like this, and your sense of humour is brilliant.

her voice dropped and Ororo leaned in closer, almost afraid to hear what dirty secret Jan was about to spill. "They were playing Twister."

Ororo coughed on her sip of water, surprised and confused. "Is that a euphemism?"

Ha! That was also my first thought. XD

"Although what portmanteau could be worse than Thorm?" Jan asked under her breath.

That also had me lolling heartily. I don't even want to think about portmanteau's for the boys. They're just so... ergh.

You captured the sweet/quirky MA universe really well. Thank you so much for writing this for me! :D

[garrideb]

I'm very happy you liked this! Thank you for the awesome prompt - I hadn't written any MA:A before, and didn't realize what I was missing. They were a lot of fun to write!

I think Stony would be an okay portmanteau, but there are certainly a lot of wince-worthy ones. Sticking with the slash symbol is safer ;-)

I loved it! (I'm a bit late, but still)

I love the twist at the end, how they were really dating.
And Ororo and Jan were perfect. I loved how Ororo was teasing Jan, and how she responded. Really nice!

And the Aliens were so much fun. I loved the color-changing thingy, and the lights in the disco.

The whole fic was really funny and nice. Thank you! :)

Eep, sorry for the super-late reply! Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed. It was a lot of fun to write Jan & Ororo's banter, and of course designing a new alien race was a blast. It was fun to write, so I'm happy you had fun reading. ;-)
