[Cable & Deadpool] Good Intentions (2/?)

[rallamajoop]

...has it really been five months since I posted part one of this? Oh %&#@.

It's been one of those years ( cons and cosplay, hospital visits, other stories hijacking my brain, more cons, moving house, and I have not even posted about the uni situation online much). Meanwhile, the mental plan for this story just keeps getting bigger, and if I don't

=D Thanks!

Over the past couple weeks or so I've been reading most of your Deadpool/Cable fics, and I am in love with your portrayal of them and their relationship. You have unlimited hugs from me!
Also, the first bit of this part of the fic is exceptionally well done. I've never seen a mock conversation pulled off so effectively! I can't wait to see where you take this arc.

The two of them have really taken over my brain for a big chunk of the last year or so. XD; Glad you've been enjoying the result - there's a lot more fic for this fandom still in my in-progress pile, believe me!

Wow, really? Thanks! It's probably one of those things that works better when you've got a character as insane as Wade to work with.

I can't wait to see where you take this arc.

...me neither, in some respects. For a fic that started with such a gratuitous premise, I've wound up with a huge pile of plot points to juggle over the next few chapters.

The point of view you did the mock conversation in, the way you assembled it, and the seagull/ninja bit actually kind of reminded me of Terry Pratchett's style (the unique voice he gives the narration, the way he doesn't explain too much, allowing the reader to figure it out and engage more with the material, and his wit and random quips).

Yay! I shall eagerly await its arrival on my computer screen.

[rallamajoop]

As a huge Terry Pratchett fan, I will take that as a big compliment. ^_^ And hope it's not a bad thing if I might have wound up consciously or subconsciously picking up a few elements of his style in all those years of reading and rereading Discworld. >.>

Well, one of the sillier ones them should be up tonight, if all goes well. ^^;

I love how bitchy they are to each other! You are really good at keeping them in character. :-) I'm wondering how Wade and Terry will get along in this story too. I can't wait to read more! Also, I loved this part:

“Are you sure we're clear? Because there's this thing on your face that looks a lot like it might be some kind of a smirk.”

“It's just something I do sometimes.”

[rallamajoop]

It was a messy, messy scene to write between the two of them, I'm glad you thought the characterisation still worked throughout. =D

I'm wondering how Wade and Terry will get along in this story too.

Probably not as well as in the regular 'verse, given how they met here, but I've got some scenes planned with them later on. It'd feel wrong not to give them some kind of relationship, even in an AU this wild, y'know?

Also, I loved this part.

*g* My beta-reader did too - it got me a comment to the effect of, "you're going to have to get used to seeing that expression a lot, Wade!"

[rallamajoop]

Thanks! Aha, Wade's just all over the place in this chapter, isn't he? Most of the time spent on this chapter was just trying to untangle all those twisty-turny bits into something that would still get them to the end of the scene. ^^;

I've re-read this three or four times now and am as tickled each time as I was the first. There's something about the banter than just makes me grin. I love them, especially the way you write them!

[rallamajoop]

Thanks muchly! ^_^ The conversation between them took so many revisions before I was happy with it, so it's incredibly gratifying to hear someone really enjoyed the final version. :3
