I love The Class Menagerie!

I love that comiic - one of my fave ones, as you can see from my avatar.

this I enjoyed, it did run into te problem with is comon with Fan fiction that I find myself trying to fit it within the Main stor's continuity.

i liked the characgter's interplay and you managed to keep everyone from being two dimentional, Even that lug of a lion.

Keep on writing

About the only way I could put it into continuity is if I wrote Brad out of it and rearranged who was where; it wouldn't be that difficult, and it would make it seem more like canon... except that really wasn't what I was shooting for with this story.

Maybe some other one. ;)

As for "keep on writing"... Just try to stop me!

Great story, I liked how it flowed from all the characters and you showed them all in a well balanced and fair manner that helped the story along. Very long story but it was a good read and one I'd recommend reading again and again, it was really that great a story. I liked how you made Biff kind of apologize in his macho way for what he did, I thought that was a nice touch. I liked how it ended too, could show a lot more to come if you so decide to do one. I really enjoyed the story, and found the simple cuddeling to be one of the best parts in my opinion but I liked a lot of other things from it too. A definate favorite in my book and I really liked your style here.

Thanks. Eventually I'll do more, I suspect, but I have some other projects that I need to finish first.

It'll be a looooong while, I'm afraid.

First of all, great job :) The story had a great almost realistic feel to it. I never have read all of Class Menagerie so I can't say how much about the characters you invented or not (though I know enough that the base general personalities are from the comic).

-Still seem to be parts of the otter's background that intrigue me for not ever fully being explained it seems.

-First date going horribly wrong...while not quite in the same manner, I have had it happen, so I sympathize with that hehe.

-Cuddling...It's so rare I read something where the cuddling is so well done and the emotions are so real. Brings back so many memories, right down to the "exploring under the shorts, but reluctantly not doing so" thought.

-"“Do you ever wonder if the catalysts ever want to change too? To know what it’s like to go through a reaction and be changed by it? To know what the reagents know?”
“…” Mikey opened his mouth to begin to reply, but didn’t know what sort of answer was the right one, or what answer he wanted to give.
Otter stood and stared out across the campus, a wistful smile on his muzzle. “I’m tired of being a catalyst… Just once, I’d like to be a reagent.”"

Despite my username, I am an otter and a chemistry major and that just made me laugh and smile quite a bit. I appreciate those lines quite a bit and it's very witty of you :)

Great story :)

Wonderful story! I love the Class Menagerie and especially a good story focused on Mikey. In particular, I loved the fanfic "Something REALLY Unexpected" and the storyline "Duet to Me". A big reason for that is because those two stories helped me accept myself and come out as gay back in April/May of 2004, So seeing another well done fanfic like this, I don't know if ecstatic captures the feeling enough.

I enjoyed the story quite a bit and liked how characters started to change and respond to the new student. Shep's fanfic, "Something REALLY Unexpected," only just started to cover those changes with its few days of story. This one with a few weeks allowed for evolution of the characters. Excellent job.

Mmm, the only nitpick/criticism I'd have right off is the use of bits like "the male looked up" or what not in the story. That phrasing just seems odd to my English major senses. Other than that, wonderful, wonderful job. And you got Vince to do another Mikey pic. Double kudos!

Wow! I realy enjoyed reading this. Good job, dude!

"Oh no I didn't just say that"
That was the one cutest mental picture of Mikey I've ever had, thanks a lot

Love it. I give it a thumbs up. ^_^ Still, it would be great if it would be turned into a graphic novel, don't you think? Anyway, good work; I give it an A+.

Verrry interesting.

Being me, it's no surprise that my favorite part was the rescue scene. "Put my boyfriend down"... that's exactly how I'd like to think I could respond if I were ever tested like that.

Given my shot reflexes, though, I'd probably end up in Hale's place, regardless of how well I started.
