The video system that the Chinese government uses for mass surveillance of its citizens is called Skynet. I am not making this up.

In case anyone else is feeling left out, I did also leave reviews for @JayDee and @InvidiaRed’s stories. It just took me longer to get JayDee’s done, because I fell asleep.

From InBrightestDay on January 10, 2021 Just FYI, I came up with this story idea months before the news of the Russian hack came, so this was not meant as a “ripped from the headlines” kind of story. I’m glad. Tune in next Christmas! Exactly the idea. Hey, I used the term “top rack” for a reason. My wife thought it might be an homage to the trench run in Star Wars. I’ll admit that was one inspiration (along with, God help me, the canyon-flying scene from Iron Eagle II). Boy, they sure have. I love it when stories do this. The “remote polar site” had me thinking about The Thing, and by extension other horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street. Hence, deadly boiler room. Indeed! I hope it will live up to your expectations.

The Umbrella Academy Television Category S through Z Yes I have a story for this one chapter done so far Yes, I am well aware the admin who puts requests has a busy schedule at the moment so she can take her time whenever I am in no rush at all.

From JayDee on January 10, 2021 The End of the World – not the most cheerful and upbeat of part headings, but it does feel appropriate. At least this Harry seems to be faring better in a zombie infested setting than the version in the last zombie story I reviewed! I’m reading Mortuus Orbis too. I really liked that line “The turbulent skies fought the sun.” it’s super poetic. Then… wow. With just a few lines you really build up the suspense of what Harry’s going to find, and then show the nasty aftermath of a hanging. It’s brief but that’s all that’s needed. Figure Harry did the smart thing getting rid of that body too. Its now undeniable that these Inferi have their own magic. Harry is doing his best revealing the nature of this new enemy. Is it suicide or is there a killer amongst them? Should we be looking suspiciously at Argus? Despair induced Suicide. …I probably shouldn’t have laughed at the mental image of Hermione nearly slipping on her own vomit. In my defense, I’m messed up. Wait, no defense… ah well. (Positive Affirmations Jaydee =p) Looking forward to the next part!

From JayDee on January 10, 2021 Sorry for the review delays! Snake dude’s back! Still loving the snake dude! Is this one of the settings where hospitality is really serious business? Sacred Hospitality is the biggest deal A lot of the old gods took it really seriously, so I’m thinking that oath not to abuse guest right is one that’ll be taken seriously.Which is why Logan makes sure to bind Glykon I kinda support him anyway – I mean, 300 pounds of bacon? Yum! This dude is straight up hilarious. Glykon is also being particular with those exact words. he can’t really help what he is. Have you had cherry smoked bacon? its amazing haha. So…Duncan was ‘mother’ to Loki’s kids? While Loki in turn was mother to a horse… there’s a lot of fluid-gender gender fluid getting shot about in the past sounds like. Heck of a fight with the wolf – Biological sex is more of a polite suggestion than hard fact for gods in general.If both partners want children then reality itself will find a way to make it happen.I guess he was outmatched in the ol’ transformation game though! Fenrir can switch forms and even grow larger and stronger in his wolf form but its more of a one trick pony. He’ll never match the sheer versatility or mastery of someone like Duncan whose Megafauna combat forms reflect in magnitudes how primal he truly is in comparison to everyone else. Fenrir did slay Duncan and put him out of commission, All that did was wake an elder incarnation. Itsthe first time Duncan admits to other Incarnations and only because Fenrir calls him out in a rather cruel fashion. Fenrir is well informed he’s inherited Loki’s wit and unfortunately his cruelty. Loki is imprisoned for Baldur’s murder so the only parent left for his aggression is Duncan and we see how that turned out. Kinda curious why the housesitter hightailed it out before they got back -was that arranged? I don’t remember a line that he had to bail. Big Z booty call. …I hope their New Year’s Party went ok! J-man was there to save the day along with Glykon. Duncan will be back by spring time there will be consequences

They got Part 8 up. Just doing the promo with InBrightestDay being busy an’ all :p Plus because it’s a great story that oughta be promoted.

I actually did do a request recently

Your reaction when you recalled Avalanche’s real name was pretty much priceless. I think one of the things that worked in my favor is that the you read the other story pretty recently and there is nothing that in that story that really show that it takes place in 1999. The G.S.P. story is bound to happens before 9/11 since else that event would been a natural comparison to the challenges of New York in the G.S.P. story. This makes the 20 year time jump to this story very subtle. I suspect Anya might have reason to be a bit upset when she realize how easily professor Stevens could have helped her after the first encounter. Like professor Stevens said she has quit being a superhero. Considering how muchthe heroes sleep around it won’t be an issue...he will probably want to join when he learns about Anya. On the other hand the possible G.S.P. sequel that I consider writing might include the professor needing to find her husband that gone missing for longer than usual. Now when she has a baby sitter it might be time to design a new costume so to stay. Thanks for reviewing this and additional thanks for the proofreading effort.
