Hey all, I need some help. I just finished putting down what might be the first story-arc of a new ongoing fanfiction I've been working on called "misseDirections".
You know how it starts - the X-Men are captured by Krakoa and Charles puts together an interim team to save them: the Deadly Genesis group. Add in two other characters and you've got my version who then go on to try to save the X-Men. Who, in all honesty, if you call, I'll eat a freakin' shoe filled with nails. I don't wanna say who they are here because...well...it's my big surprise for issue two. But they called themselves X-Men at least once. So yeah. I like the cast.

What I need is some feedback before I send it in to THOI though. It's been a long time since I wrote a story in prose format as opposed to the scripts I've been doing for my comic book. Thus, I'm just looking to get some thoughts on the descriptions, the characters, and the story over all. Basically, I need some people to pre-read them.

It's three issues, grand total of 37 pages I think. So if anyone is interested, let me know either in this thread or PM me. I know that I have Hunter, Tj, and Crutey's e-mail from previous engagements, so if you guys are interested just let me know.

Send away. It may take a week before I get 'er all done and read, but it's been too long since I've read anything of yours. It'd be my pleasure.

I'll read it! My mom proof-reads for a living, so who knows, I might have inherited her talent for it.

I'll offer to do it too...but I'm sure you want someone to read it when it goes up on site rather than just all of us proof reading lol.
 
Still if you want someone you're one of my favourite writers so yes I will.

Everyone, thanks for the responses! I appreciate all the offers for help, it's really awesome. That said, I've either PMed or e-mailed six, Polaris, Laudo (for various reasons) for some feedback. The rest of you....GET TO WAIT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Once I get the feedback, I'll send them off to Xtreme, and hopefully everyone can enjoy them. :D

Thanks again everyone. Even though I've become a bit of a lurker over the past few months, it's really the community here that keeps me coming back. Thanks alot.

It was really good. I never would have guessed the inclusion of some of the characters, and the story is great. You really want to read this story.
