Happy birthday Michelle

Happy birthday Michelle was created by Woodclaw
Exactly two years ago the first chapter of a great story appeared on this site:
Michelle's Meteor Memento by Njae
.
Personally, I love this story and consider it one of the best character driven stories in recent memory.
Recently Njae's motivation hit rock bottom and - as a friend - I'm inviting all of you out there to cheer for him. He's a great guy and, I'm not ashamed to admit, the real reason for some of my own stories to ever see the light (starting with my Serena continuation).
So, Njae all I can wish for you is to get better and writing soo.
You're the best.

Michelle is if nothing else a great story about the connection of the everyday with the superhuman-which every good comic character i think plays with a little bit. Your not the only author on the site who does that, but your good at it, of creating an office worker with super powers, and letting her remain an office worker..
Its not an epic tale-but thats a compliment. Its never been a story about big smashy super battles, but always seems to find a connection with its main character and her isssues. You want her to be happy, you want her to remain human. As an author i know it can be hard to write stories like that, but it can be rewarding.
It was Brad Bird when he was making the Incredibles said that it was easier to have 10 minutes of superbattles then one scene of a mother stroking her daughters hair. You do that well.
Of course the trick of stories like this is how do you end them. I know endings are hard. Motivation is hard. But i belive in you. your a good writer and i respect you.

You'd think that superspeed would make me more punctual, huh?
Replied by Camille Jones on topic Happy birthday Michelle
I can honestly say this. If it wasn't for Michelle, there would be no Camille/Solaris. I actually draw a lot of inspiration and ideas not only from Michelle but Bad Becky as well - the latter being how her powers worked. There is just something about a superwoman that is not over the top or grandiose that is just so appealing to me and I honestly wanted to emulate that aspect as best as I can.
So, thank you njae for everything.

From the guy who actually inspired the story I think this is worth a lot.

Thanks everybody, it's really touching to see that people celebrate a small anniverary like this. Guess that this means that I really will have to get back to the writing board in order to resume my work on part 12.
