Absolutely fantastic, all of it ;)

Your fic was gorgeous.
Can't wait to download the mix.

Simply excellent, as usual. It saddens me deeply that you killed Peter, haha, but I forgive you. I love your portrayals of Adam and Elle here, Elle being the cutesy psycho that she should be, Adam the charming manipulator, and the two of them together definitely giving off a Bonnie and Clyde vibe. Also got a kick out of the "I have a fish to catch" line, poor Hiro.

The graphics are great as well, and the lyrics you attached to each piece of the fic fit beautifully. I'm really excited to download! Fantastic writing, fantastic graphics, presumably fantastic music (yay Arcade Fire!)--everything a fangirl needs. :) Thanks!

Thank you! ♥ I do seem to have a bit of an addiction to abusing poor old Peter, sorry, but I hope it helped cement the idea of Adam being something of an unstoppable force (and I was kind of trying to remix Angela's original vision of Adam, Tracy, Maury and Knox). I'm so relieved that Adam worked, he's such a difficult character to write! :)

I really enjoyed making the graphics (Sark kissed with a lot of blonde women in Alias so I was sort of spoilt for choice in that regard), so I'm glad you like them! They were the first things I did, actually, I tend to work backwards from the artwork to the music (and the fic, if I write one). I hope you like the music, too - I just started listening to The Dresden Dolls last week and I am so in love with Girl Anachronism right now. :D

[takethesky87]

I totally understand the working backwards thing--I ended up making a fanmix for this fic I'm writing about halfway through the fic, and now I'm sort of referring back to the mix to make the story fit it more. :P And the Dresden Dolls song is wacky, in a very Elle way; I like it!

LOL to the Sark bit as well ... who is it that he's kissing? I don't remember what blonde girl(s) he's kissed, but I admit it's been a while since I've watched Alias. I also got a giggle out of Victor Garber hiding in the shot of Sark/Adam/Anders holding a gun... *g*

I do that too, making fanmixes in the middle of writing - it always feels like a bit of a treat to me; it's much more fun to play around with music and graphics than angst over writing. :) If you don't mind me asking, what kind of fic are you writing? And to be honest, I think Girl Anachronism kicked off the whole thing, the mix and fic. I just discovered that someone's made an Elle vid to it recently, but they used a different version which is even wackier sounding. I like this one more, though, it's very easy to sing along loudly to. ;D

Dude, this was definitely worth the wait. And, lookie! A shiny, pretty mix! There's something about the combination of psycho Elle and manipulator Adam that just works for me and this fic has that dynamic going on in spades. Adam would definitely prey on Elle's neediness and Elle would let him because she's so desperate for affection.

Peter is like your punching bag for fics, isn't he? Poor bastard didn't even put up a fight. And, yes, I may have started hyperventilating between the words "Elle Bishop, 1983 - 2058" and "God, you're so morbid, Adam". I would have cut a bitch if you made me wait this long and just killed Elle at the end. I do not take Elle dying well after Heroes offed her.

[boombangbing]

I'm glad Adam came off okay, I find him ridiculously difficult to write - getting that balance between being a manipulative bastard and being Not Completely Evil is tricky.

Peter is like your punching bag for fics

Yeah, um, sorry, Pete, but you know Adam was just never going to stand for you surviving. I was almost going to kill Elle off at the end, I had a track picked out for it and everything, but hey, it's Christmas and I think the combined force of Elle and Adam would be pretty unstoppable. And I didn't want you to hurt me. Either way, it was going to be a bit of a bait and switch. I'm just evil like that, sorry.

[twistdmentality]

There is no faster way to make your fic suck than by making a character OMGSOEVILTHATHEKICKSPUPPIES. Adam had a nice balanced, I thought. Because while he may be a manipulative bastard, he practiced some self-restraint and even indulged Elle a little.

I was almost going to kill Elle off at the end

You have some very wise reason for not killing Elle. And I certainly would have cut you if you followed through on your initial impulse. I don't do well when favorite characters die off. Especially when they're already dead on the show. Then it's like you're kicking me just for fun.

From your mouth to the Heroes writers ears. I don't think Adam is completely bad, you know; irredeemable, yeah, but he definitely had moments of almost caring about things even after the omg!betrayal by Hiro. He's just basically the most cynical person on Earth.

Then it's like you're kicking me just for fun.

And you know I save that for Peter.
