Yay, missions! My brain has been in mission-reading withdrawal lately, so thank you!

*reads them on and off all day*

(I realize most of these missions were written a long time ago, but I read them all for the first time today, so I'm reacting to all of them at once. Hope you don't mind.)

Oh, I like your agents. They both have strong personalities, and play well off each other. I especially like the effects of chocolate on Eledhwen, and Christianne's random Poe-quoting when losing sanity.

You do a good job of explaining your assassination methods before they come up, so the reader knows exactly what's happening to the Sue and why it's an appropriate end. I especially like the Sherlock Sue's demise involving the related OFU. I tend to forget the OFUs exist; I'll have to work on remedying that.

I especially like the Narnia mission due to all the detail you supplied for the world, as well as getting across the agents' respect for the world and for Aslan. I get the same feeling whenever you're writing scenes in Middle-earth, but I didn't see it so much in the Battlestar Galactica or Sherlock missions. That's unfortunate, as I'm not familiar with the settings of either canon, and I would have liked to see some more of those details in those missions.

Also, I'm curious. Is the line, “I doubt that; there was that one Sue who got dropped into the Victorian-era Sherlock Holmes’s bed,” referring to the badfic I've claimed on the wiki? Or is that just a really common trope in Sherlock Holmes Sue fics that I haven't noticed?
