But they put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us.
Generally backwards, if I don't hunt for the tag first.
T, I'm ignorant of virtually all of the Magneto backstory, except for the bit I saw in the movie. But read as a story, with no associations? That's a honkin' good little read. It's very evocative of his personal history.
One thing jiggled me a bit, though, in the first section: the thing about the guards signing ritualistically in and out. I read that three times and no matter what I did, I kept seeing them dancing around timeclocks shaped liked pentagrams. A bit disconcerting, especially since what follows and ends that paragraph (They are unimaginative men, stolid and righteous, not unlike the Nazis of his youth) is so clear and unornamented.
Just my ha'penny.
You guys! Bad fic writers, messing with my metaphors!

I deny everything! I did nothing naughty! In fact, I am the very model of a modern - oh, wait, that's Gilbert & Sullivan.....
Someone so needs to filk that thing, and make it about fic.
Two questions about my fic:
(1) As a title -- what about "Redux"?
(2) It's been a while since I've committed fic -- where should I send it? I can think of the BFA and G_O, but that's all that's coming to mind.
Thankee. I was tossing around "This Year's Girl" in my mind, wanting to convey that sense of "this year's girl returns, with a few new improvements." And my brain finally remembered that it knows words and coughed up "Redux."
Man, finding a title was harder than writing the story!
As for where to send them - I'm completely clueless. I wave my feeble technochallenged little stumps in the air and nice people offer to help me.
Steph - I like Redux too...it fits nicely.
OK - time for you write more fic...pretty please???
Theo, that's
lovely.
I mean, I don't know anything about the X-Men. I really don't. But that's a gorgeous piece of prose.

Aint it though? A definite honey.
