Re: Meeting of the Minds
I'm actually in the process of writing a quick, humorous, short.

Re: Meeting of the Minds
A little late to the party, but I wanted to throw in my own praise for this very humorous what-if. I was a little worried that the potshots would be somewhat one-sided against LMI, but while it's clear there is a preference for Eli and Oskar it's not so overwhelming as to seem spiteful. And there's one line in particular that actually made me burst out into laughter:
"We don't discuss politics here," Oskar said evenly. "Wolfchild won't let us."
I guess it's never too early in the morning to get a good laugh. Thanks for the tale, PeteMork.

Why, thank you! It was great fun to write. Especially while in the midst of the great LTROI - LMI debate raging on the forum at the time.SpartanAltego wrote:A little late to the party, but I wanted to throw in my own praise for this very humorous what-if.

Great fun! I'm glad I'm only reading it now. A bit late, but there is just so much good stuff on the forum!

[Bump] Just in case any of our new inspired writers missed this simple convergence of 'Let the Right One In' and "Let me in"
