Loved the new Mathmaticle Improbable! I wonder if they are going to fight ^^ Super Cat Fight!

Mathematically Improbable was awesome, and I really enjoyed Scorpion. That story has a lot of potential for depth.

I'm glad to see that there were some followups to the expositions that you built

Digging the new stories - keep up the great work!

Definitely an enjoyable read. I found Scorpion an interesting character. How much of her past does she still have hiddden inside her, I wonder. Crusader of Courage was fun, though I do worry that the narrator/editor/writer arguments could end up taking over the story. And Mathematically Improbable certainly ended on an interesting note.

Thanks.

Hi all. Good to hear from all of you, and great to hear you're enjoying the stories. As to your specific comments...

Maybe.... 8)

-> I have mixed feelings about Crusader of Courage, it's funny but I fear that the metareading/narrative awareness is stretching a little too much.

Don't worry guys. The main point of all that stuff that was to bring in our new villain, and maybe set up a couple of jokes. The Narrator is still going to play a prominent role, but the Editor and Author probably won't show up much from #74 onwards. Besides, weI wouldn't want the Author/Editor/Narrator arguments drowning out the Jim/Narrator arguments now would we? :wink:

We'll see... 8) I'm not going to explain it here, both because, it may constitute a spoiler and, frankly, because I want to reserve the right to change the rules about how it works at every possible opportunity. :twisted:

Also, apparently I'm a "Literary Rockstar" now. I like the sound of that, but... does this position come with groupies? Does it mean I get to sign my name as "Caveman Ninja Joe, L.R."? Do I at least get a really freakin' sweet guitar out of it? :?

CNJ:

Three enjoyable stories, each with its own "flavor."

"Mathematically Improbable" is my favorite of the bunch -- a straightforward, no-frills "girl-gets-super-powers-and-sets-out-to-have-fun" story. And the second supergirl (who sooner or later seems to find her way into most of our stories) promises to double our pleasure in the next chapter!

"Crusader of Courage" is an enjoyable homage to the hyper-dramatic narration of Golden and Silver Age comics. But I have to agree with Anon and JKIJ that the fourth-wall breaking is getting a little old, or at least too intrusive. A little less of that, and a little more straight action, would be welcome as Omniwoman faces the alien superwoman in #74.

"The Experiment" continues to be a fine, dramatic story. I'm intrigued by the various mysteries you've set up, and curious to find out what Alexis will discover.

Thanks again, and please keep all three of these going!
