Hee... I really liked this, so adorable. I'm guessing they're really young if they don't know what a brother or sister is, and hah "people who look alike" pretty much sums it up (but don't forget the fighting! oh boy fighting)..
I really should be sleeping and preparing for school for Tuesday, but I don't wanna *petulant child rant*
"Krit turned around. Syl was laying sideways on her bunk, the one next to his. Zane had offered to trade with him once. Krit didn’t want to. "
- Now, I know people tend to pair up Syl and Krit because of the S1 finale, which I've always thought was cute. So, I can't help noticing here that maybe there was some kind a bond or other something between Krit and Syl even at the early stages. Seems, like Krit couldn't bring himself to losing Syl as his bunkmate.. Wonder why Zane offered from the beginnerz... Hmm. Maybe I'm reading into it too much =).
I like that even knowing that they might not be real siblings did not deter them from any less sibling-y feelings of one another. Nope, it was like it was no big deal at all. But hey, they're kids so what's there to think about at that stage? They're brothers and sisters...
Now do another Kirt piece, I dear ya! Kidding, but honestly I loved this, had me smiling like Krit at the end. Thank you =).
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you liked it! :) (Sorry it took me a few days to answer! Your other review made my day, and this one did too!)
Lol, they're young enough that they don't know about brother/sister battles yet, lol. *tries to imagine the transgenic version of, "Still...not...touching you!"* :D
And you caught my Krit/Syl hint! *is very happy, lol* I've always liked that pairing, and I couldn't resist including a subtle nod for it. They just seem to go together. Zack says, "Krit and Syl," like they never split up after the escape. Zane, in my mind, was trying to be a nice big brother, figuring he'd save Krit from having to bunk next to a *girl*. Imagine his surprise when Krit said no, lol. ;)
I do have an idea for a longer fic with Krit and Syl, but I've never really tried to write it. I can't guarantee anything, but I will have to see where inspiration leads. :)

EEH!!!! You made a Krit one, you're super-duper-woman, thank you!!! I loved this, I always thought of Krit but I didn't want to bug you about it and now it's finally here!
I'm a bit in a hurry so I'll give a better review next time I'm through! Hope you had a great holiday!!!
Author's Response: Couldn't resist answering this one, lol. I really am so glad that you liked it! *blushes deeply* Thank you for inspiring it! And I hope you had a great holiday too. :)

Hmm, this was awesome awesome awesome... You really put some thought to it, huh?
Freedom was beautiful.
I feel like I could quote everything there but I think the end summed it all up...Beautiful. Just beautiful, LM =).
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad that you liked it!
I really had fun writing it. :)
Krit's drabble should be up in a day or two. :)
Date: 08 Dec 2009 01:40 PM Title: Asha - Invisible
this is really good please update soon !!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! :) I'm planning to post the next part soon.
Take care and God bless!
-Laughter

He is crazy... But at the same time the most sanest people out of the Familiars.. Nice potrayal. The guy is definitely not of the norm (of the Familiar kind or any kind really) so this was refreshing to read.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! :) I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I've always liked CJ. I wish we'd gotten to see more of him.
Date: 20 Nov 2009 12:35 PM Title: Alec - Gone
You know something's up if Alec's drinking something other than beer.
I don't really know what to say... I just read The Max POV so... I don't know if it's such a good idea to stop by Logan's place, I admit at first I was feeling a bit hopeful and thought Yes, what if.. then quickly a second thought was much less hopeful like Uh-Oh, but what if..
I don't like feeling sorry for Alec, it happens way too much for the cost of Max's fear for wishing something more than Logan. Like there is nothing better than Logan (the do-gooder). Especially someone like Alec (the srew-up).
Now, these thoughts are bothering me (and it's all.your.fault!) so be a heart and send the next part out... Considering:
"I wound up writing six more drabbles after the original challenge was over, lol. They are all already complete." -And you mention this now?!.. Meanie.
Author's Response: I don't like feeling sorry for Alec either! These drabbles, for the most part, have just insisted on being angst. But well...Max's, Logan's, Alec's are all connected (depending on how you look at them)...so, technically, it does end happily, lol. *blushes* If you look Alec's as a prequel, and Logan's as being the final part, Max finally came to her senses, and decided not to let Alec go. :)
I'm planning to post the next drabble tomorrow. It's from Ben's POV. It's another angst-filled one, as are the next few after that, but there *are* a couple cheerful ones, really, lol! (Including one with Krit, inspired by your comments about him. :) )
Date: 04 Nov 2009 01:32 PM Title: Biggs - Soldier
Also, I forgot, in case you'd continue or something, Krit (from Season 1 finale) considering Max is his biological sister but I guess biological or not doesn't really matter here to some but I have always wondered... OK, mainly because Krit is played by Jessica A's brother.. Which I always thougt was cool.
Or... Do Normal, which would be a nice POV to read, just cus I can't help but like him :).
And oh, yeah M/A all the way here, and thx for a great bunch of mini stories, they're really great to read each and every time :).
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm definitely continuing after the vote is finished. Drabbles are addictive, lol.
There is now one from Krit's POV. (Inspired by your comment. :) )
And there are actually a couple other new ones that aren't angst, lol!
Date: 03 Nov 2009 03:30 PM Title: Logan - Goodbye
Aww.. I can't help but feel really torn, on the one hand it's all "YAY, FINALLY MAX REALISED HER FEELINGS" and on the other it's Aww poor Logan, it's a sad situation but an inevitable one. But still, he can't help hoping.
You're good, you. Very good. Grr....
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
I absolutely think Max and Alec belong together, but I feel sorry for Logan too. No matter what happened, I don't think a Max and Logan's break-up would ever be easy.
Date: 02 Nov 2009 04:12 PM Title: Logan - Goodbye
Aw, I feel bad for Logan. So hopeful, so willing to believe in something more, then the let down. At least no one is staying together without really wanting to. Very good glimpse into Logan, I liked it! ^_^
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :)
I feel bad for Logan too. I think he and Max started hanging onto the idea of their relationship, more than hanging on to each other. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Date: 02 Nov 2009 04:01 AM Title: Biggs - Soldier
I've already reviewed but I wanted to respond to your reply here - so you have a record :P And I can check back on progress eventually :D
Who would I like to see you write drabbles about (or for) next?
Well... Alec and Ben sound great in any case, and I'll not turn up my nose at Asha or CJ, either :) But here's an idea or two -
Normal, Renfro, Robert Berrisford, Peter (Logan's first bodyguard guy) Lauren (Braganza?) Mia, Charlie Smith, Gill Guy/Girl, Zack, Syl, Krit... and these are just the ones I can think of offhand that I'd be curious to learn their thoughts with regards to the things they saw and/or experienced.
Again, thanks for a great series of drabbles! I'm definitely looking forward to more of these when you get around to them :)
Author's Response: Lol! That's more than an idea or two you know, lol. ;)
I can't promise all of them, lol, but I might have some ideas for at least a few of them... *grins*
Date: 01 Nov 2009 12:05 AM Title: Logan - Goodbye
The M/A shipper in me is crowing with delight but the sympathetic goodness I have (I know it's in here somewhere!) wants me to hug Logan and comfort him.
I'm glad she came to her senses... I'm just sorry that this epiphany came at Logan's expense.
Nice work, sweetie!
I'm going to have to add this to my favorites if you plan on updating again after the prompt votes are done! I've had a blast reading everyone's submissions :)
Author's Response: As always, thank you so much! I've so appreciated all of your reviews! *hugs*
I feel kind of sorry for Logan too, though the MA shipper in me is happy, lol. ;)
I'm definitely planning on updating again after the votes. :) Is there any character you'd like to see a drabble for that I haven't done? The extra ones I have so far are Alec, Ben, CJ, and Asha. :)
Date: 30 Oct 2009 06:16 AM Title: Max - Regret
Most people who know me know that my primary DA 'ship is M/A so knowing that Max agreed to stay with Logan probably kills me nearly as much as it appears to be killing Alec.
But realistically speaking (as far as canon goes) I could see it happening. That after everything they'd gone through, Max would choose Logan if he asked - even if her feelings might have begun to change. Guilt (and probably a number of other reasons) might very well keep her there.
It's just sad to see Alec go. But I suppose that even as strong as he is, losing or not being able to attain that which he desires - yet again - might be too crushing this time around.
Wonderful work. It may have been done before, but I think you did it better in one hundred words than others have done in thousands. Kudos.
Author's Response: As always, thank you so much!!!
I could see it happening too. I completely agree with you about Max feeling guilty. I think she blamed herself for Logan being paralyzed, blamed herself for the virus, and then, Logan pretty much put his life on hold for her, searching for a cure. After all of that, if they did find a cure for the virus, and Logan asked her to marry him...I think she'd feel like she *had* to say yes.
Date: 30 Oct 2009 01:04 AM Title: Max - Regret
These are all great! Poor Max in this last one, poor both of them really. I'm not a big M/A fan, but I still like what you did with them here! It's always awesome to see what people can produce in just 100 words, and I'm really enjoying your drabbles.
"Logan had asked her to marry him, and after everything..."
I could totally, completely see Max marrying Logan just because she thinks it's the right thing to do. It's directly in line with her character, sacrifice herself for others.
Great job capturing the characters!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! I can't tell you how much your comments mean. :)
I'm so glad you've enjoyed the drabbles, and that you enjoyed this last one, even if you aren't a big fan of MA. And I'm so happy thar you thought I captured their characters well. :)
Date: 29 Oct 2009 01:26 PM Title: Brin - Memories
Ack, why are all the drabbles so depressing, makes me sad. I don't know if it's more good than bad that she can remember, does it make things more harder or easier to get by then?
Author's Response: These drabbles seem to lend themselves to angst for me for some reason, lol... *blushes* It's kind of funny, considering that most of my DA fics are on the fluffier side. :)
I've had so much fun with the drabbles though, I'm continuing the series after the challenge. I'll see if I can come up with a few cheerful ones, lol. Do you have any character requests? I can't promise anything, but I'll do my best! :)
Date: 28 Oct 2009 10:56 PM Title: Brin - Memories
It must be awful to have all these bittersweet memories and to long for something you can't afford to want or think about. To be confined to existing and not living.
Nice work (again!)
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! :) I've always felt so sorry for Brin. You can see that part of the person she used to be is still there, but she's trapped, both by Manticore, and her own mind.
Date: 28 Oct 2009 10:53 PM Title: Tinga - Cold
The despair in this is tangible. *sigh*
Author's Response: It did wind up being a really sad one. I didn't plan on it that way, but then I remembered the look on Tinga's face when she's conscious in that tank. It's such a heart breaking look...
Date: 28 Oct 2009 10:50 PM Title: One Of Berrisford's Guards - Paranoid
I have thought about that before! I mean, Alec was trained for these missions, but so much of the real world and the way normal people lived their lives was, if not completely alien to him, then at least strange and unfamiliar. I have often wondered if no one caught any slip-ups, or if they were all as easily fooled as Rachel appeared to be. I wondered the exact same thing. Jensen did a such a good job portraying "Simon Lehane" as being so stiff and formal, and just a little bit out of place... I couldn't help thinking that the guards might have noticed something off, but dismissed it. Maybe that was why it seemed so personal for them when they went after Alec outside of Crash.
Nice job. Poor Mike. Hind sight...
Author's Response: I feel like a broken record, but thank you! :)
Date: 28 Oct 2009 10:46 PM Title: Sketchy - Someday
Oh, I love your Sketchy! I can just picture these as his thoughts :)
Poor boy, though; doesn't stand a chance...
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked my take on Sketchy! :) Lol, he really doesn't stand a chance poor guy. Though, maybe someday Alec will be nice and throw a game. ;)
Date: 28 Oct 2009 10:38 PM Title: White - Perfection
I really liked this. The emotions behind these thoughts makes it so intense. White has so much hate, (mostly) stemming from his father's love/feelings for his 'science experiments' rather than his own offspring. The thought that anything concocted in a petri dish could ever rival what he believes to be the true perfection of superior beings is beyond insulting. To be reminded of his father's betrayal every time he saw one of the man's creations... must have been doubly painful. It's not hard to see where most of his animosity sprang from. One can almost feel bad for the Familiar...
Author's Response: As always, thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. :) It's the first time I've ever written White. Something about the way White acts towards the transgenics just makes me think that there's more than fanatical hatred involved. Max remembers Sandeman saying, "My little one, my special little one..." and he says it in such a loving way, it made me wonder if Sandeman ever spoke to Ames like that. I don't think he did. White seems to see himself as perfect...but it still wasn't good enough for his father. And as you said, he's constantly reminded of that.
Date: 27 Oct 2009 02:43 PM Title: Tinga - Cold
Aww, poor Tinga.. That's all there is to say, such a sad outcome she suffered.
Author's Response: I feel sorry for her too. The last picture we see of her when she's conscious in that tank is heartbreaking.
Date: 24 Oct 2009 11:39 AM Title: One Of Berrisford's Guards - Paranoid
Wow, you just picked someone I totally would have cast off as non important, but then this just made me think twice. From what, 100 words only? That's crazy.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! :)
I've always found Berrisford's guards really interesting. The way they went after Alec, it seemed like it was very personal for them. And I've always loved the way Jensen portrayed Simon Lehane...there's such a great edge to how acts, so stiff, and formal, and just a little bit off. I couldn't help thinking that a guard would notice that, but probably dismiss it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Date: 17 Oct 2009 08:55 PM Title: Sandeman - Vengeance
*claps* This is how I viewed Sandeman and painted him in my mind in my own fic/s. A nice little peek into the character's psyche.
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I picture Sandeman as softening as he grew older, vengeance giving way to more noble goals and affection for the children he created...but the damage was already done, which is what I tried to show in my next drabble with White. :)
Date: 16 Oct 2009 04:07 AM Title: Adam (Zack) - Duty
Tremendous little piece.
I love the paradox; he is happy but incomplete living in ignorance of his past, and whole only when connecting to the ill-starred soldier in the world of dreams.
Poor Zack...
Author's Response: Again, thank you! :)
I've always wanted to write something for Zack. I feel very sorry for him too. He always sacrificed his own happiness for his duty, but duty and responsibility seem like such big parts of who he is, it's hard to imagine him without them. I've also always wondered if he was literally designed to be their CO, that the responsibility he felt was genetic as well as self-imposed. Either way, I couldn't help picturing him as being very lost without his memories.
Date: 16 Oct 2009 03:51 AM Title: Biggs - Soldier
I loved the matter-of-fact way (your) Biggs viewed his existence.
The realization that his end wouldn't be the way he'd imagined - the honor of fighting and falling in battle, or in the course of protecting someone or something he cared about or simply in the line of duty - seemed to startle him.
But the acknowledgment of that truth and his fear made my heart bleed. You said so much and with such great impact, in only a few short words.
Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :)
I've always felt so sorry for Biggs. I think what sticks with me the most is the look he gives the men beating him. It's the last time we see Biggs alive on the show, and I tried to put that look into words as much as I could.
