Well, I think I should pick up that habit of mine.

First of all, that interlude that has been lying around here way too long: Obligatory Episode

I'm not entirely sure where I went with this, but as far as I remember, it has been betaed, but never published.

Very enjoyable! by SeaTurtle on 2012-12-03 05:07:00 UTC Reply

I remember TooManySecrets' recruitment some months ago! It's very nice to see him again.

This is a very solid piece in my opinion. The action flows very well and the console / Luxury-related humour got some giggles out of me. The story length is perfect: neither too long or too short and gets its point across with no "stagnent" spots. I also like that tie-in with Huinesoron's Message. It's always nice to see other bits of HQ life being referenced in a spinoff.

I didn't get much of a feel for TooManySecrets' character, though. His role in this short story was pretty much limited to "beleaguered DoSAT techie has to work with Luxury breathing (a bit too close) down his neck", but then again, how else can any self-respecting agent behave around her?

Nitpick aside, excellent work. I look forward to seeing this DoSAT techie again.

He comes from a continuum that has not a single female character (most likely because all the names are randomized and it's simpler with just one gender).

IPvWTF - I giggled like an idiot! by Fish Custard on 2012-12-03 00:50:00 UTC Reply

I liked this piece. I hope to see more of TooManySecrets - I'm sure there's loads of fun that can be had with a hacker dumped into DoSAT. Hehe~ :P

Just kidding!

It's a short little piece, but I enjoyed Luxury's, um, antics. My only concern though, is that TooManySecrets seems a little bit flat. Like, there's a character there, but it isn't shown as much as I would like. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I would like to see more of him.
