This was SERIOUSLY COOL!!!!!!

I can't wait for more!

Aww, thanks! That makes my day that much brighter. Ironically, I was re-reading some of your stuff that you posted for the "Five Things" challenge, and it reminded me how much I love your "Power Monkees" 'Verse.

*BLUSH* Thank you! When I got the idea to set "Gifts" in the same universe and have John be one of the kids they raised -- it all just clicked into place. ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) Thank you so much!

Heh, no problem. If I enjoy something someone's wrote, I'll tell them. I'm not ashamed of doing some fangirly-squeeing while I do so. ^^

very cool. Are you planning on continuing this? I always like fics where Atlantis is alive in some manner or another.

scarlet_gryphon January 3 2009, 22:08:06 UTC

Yep. I might even post a link to the story for the 'fic exchange that jennytork and I are doing, if she's okay with that.

jennytork January 29 2009, 17:40:02 UTC

I just saw this! I'm way okay with that!

was Terciel a former incarnation or an ancestor of John?

scarlet_gryphon February 6 2009, 03:09:38 UTC

Mrr? I'd love to know how you got that out of this. Please, tell me. I'm all ears.

kensieg February 6 2009, 03:22:06 UTC

the slenderest of reeds. Terciel has hazel eyes and I thought that he was quite close to Madame X. In Fanon John has hazel eyes & a very strong/close connection to Atlantis. So that is how I added 2 + 2 = possibly 5.

scarlet_gryphon February 6 2009, 03:30:43 UTC

Ah. Hmm... Never really thought of it like that. *shrugs* I suppose that could work. Then again, that would make John the nth-great-grand nephew (I think?) of the Watcher/Kalian/Atlantis and/or (following the "former incarnation" theory, a direct blood-relative of the Watcher/Kalian/Atlantis. Hmm. I'll have to think on that more.

I like this.

But then, I always like seeing what people do with the concepts of sentient-Atlantis or ship-spirits or reincarnation-as-technology. (Considering I wrote one, it'd be surprising if I didn't, right?)

I like the trial at the beginning, and the way you get a sense of Kali's personality, and the way that, once given the opportunity, she carefully decides on a low-key way to introduce herself.

//no one had tried to shoot her yet, so that was always good.//

Yes. Yes, it is. ^_^

scarlet_gryphon February 7 2009, 08:10:46 UTC

Aww, thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Now that I think about it, I suppose it was partially guided by The Brain Ship series by Anne McCaffery. While they (the books) aren't exactly based on the whole spirit-in-a-ship idea, it's pretty darn close.

As for the rest, thanks once more. I'm happy that came across well. I wanted to delve more into her character and expand the drabble that I did.

And yes, not getting shot is always good. ^^
