[Report This]Date: 05 Jan 2015 04:54 Title: The Truth about Doug
I will leave my review here for the entire batch, Jes. Needless to say as ever I doff my cap to your ENT writing (I look at my stalled work and sigh!) and how you are able to weave all these worlds, these peoples and sometimes timelines. Here seems to be the best description and presentation of a family.
In some ways the crew of the NX-01 were the ideal family. Frontier crew, the first humans...well, I liked it :)

Aw, thank you so much! I guess they speak to me the best. :)

Some of these I got, and others just went over my head. ::Must read more of jespah's stuff in 2015::
The standout for me was the one about Eriecho, but you already know she's my fave. ;-) All were well-written, though and could be understood on their own, except for #1 - didn't get the reference to Wendy at all. My fault, not yours I'm sure. ;-)
Author's Response:
It was more that here was this MU guy (he's the co-Emperor) and everything is harsh there, but even he softens for one person. Jun comes from a lot of places - he's a kid in Reversal and a teenager in Temper and then an adult in some of the HG Wells series. The idea of having a temporally paradoxical person (sort of like John Conner in the Terminator franchise) was irresistible.
Thank you for reading! :)

I do like that last line, it clearly meant with Malcolm's typical humor, I've got to admitted that Doug being soft to his children, might come from his father harshness as shown in your five signs story.
Author's Response:
Yes; Doug is determined to not let that happen to his children.
