I'm trying my hand at a new fic. Blast it apart and put it in a trap if you don't like. ^_^ Please let me know how I'm doing! I don't want to have something in there that doesn't make sense! :o)

Chapters 1 and 2.

I think you're off to a really good start. Opening to the guys talking about a disgusting job they just finished is very in tone with the show (and I've used it more than once myself).

I can't blame Venkman for hating the smell of formaldehyde, either--I had to smell that crap back in ninth grade biology, and one of the main reasons I decided to concentrate on the physical sciences in high school is that I wouldn't have to smell that shit again. That and cutting apart frogs and pigs aren't really my thing...

Hitching your story onto one of JMS's absolute best sets expectations quite high, of course. I look forward to seeing where it goes.

I probably sound like a a geekazoid, but I had all the sciencey stuff to use as a kid...microscopes, telescopes, blah blah blah. And yeah, even a preserved frog in formaldehyde. Lawls. Peter really expresses my own distaste for the stuff. Though I always found all the sciences very interesting :)

Thank you for your encouraging words ^_^ It's going to be E/J centric of course, and will get increasingly darker as it goes forward. (I loooove the darker fics like "Highway To Hell".) But I hope to throw action in there. These guys really have to work off those Twinkies!

I love your writing style! Loved your opening and how you opened the story -- your characterization is on point to...but to be honest, you had me at "Canon to me is GB1 and anything by J.Michael Straczynski"....keep at it because I'm waiting with baited breathe!

I love how Slimer still has a small part of this fic even though he's mostly the mascot/pet. Everyone's so in character in this that it actually makes it own natural drama. I think it would be hard for all those conflicting personalities to get along all the time in one house hold...or would it be fire-hold?

I'm liking this. I wonder what's going down and if its bad and if he's in on it. Also curious as to how Janine will figure into a Ragnarok type problem. Keep goin'!

Very good so far. The little argument between Egon and Janine made total sense, and makes things a little more tense as we move to the next event, which is, I would presume, the two of them attending this event Egon has to go to, since everyone else has been ruled out.

Heh. When I first did "Eye of Aretpo" years and years ago, as an RGB story, I used something like that to get Egon and Janine to the dinner where Zoraldo kidnapped them. I may have to summarize it better on the "Eye of Aretpo" thread.

Anyway, still very much looking forward to more.

Chapters 6 and 7 are now GO!


mariah: TY for your reply :D I may sound mean, but honestly that's about all of Slimer I can take :mrgreen: Maybe I'm just sore because of the network essentially "dumbing down" the show by shifting its focus on Slimer 20+ years ago.

TY for the encouragement, ghostdiva and Fritz.

And Fritz: great plot, isn't it? :lol:

I don't think I'd manage one day in that firehouse without needing to slap Peter silly.

I am really liking this, I find myself checking every day for updates. Very few stories have that kind of pull to me. Most all of them are Fritz's, lol.

My plot bunnies hardly ever bite, lawl. This one in fact made it though by chewing enough.

One update a week seems to be a good pace for this story. Maybe once in a blue moon I'll do a few chapters at once, but I figured if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ^_^

Go kick that asshole in the pants and get 'im writing again! :lol:
