Wow, this is indeed a first- I'm pretty sure this is the first Hyperdolls
fic I've ever seen posted to the list, and I *know* it's the first time
I've ever seen a tale based on that noixious piece of spam called "the
Nigerian Scam."
Heh. I'd been wanting to do a Hyperdolls fic for a while, without
ever quite coming up with a workable idea. Then, quite separately,
the idea of a fic based on the Nigerian scam came to me, taking
the idea of all these multimillion dollar fortunes locked away
semi-seriously. I was quite pleased with how this combination
worked.
You seem to have captured to personalities of the Dolls quite well, and the
story was pretty funny- although it seemed to lack a real ending- I don't
know, I kept expecting something more than just a small brawl- I'm not sure
I can quite describe what I mean, though, so... eh, it *was* darn funny.
And any Hyperdolls fic is good fic, as far as I'm concerned.
I can always use a better ending, so if you ever DO find you can
describe what you mean, or get any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear
them.
I'm glad you thought it funny, and that the characters are IC.
Just one thing- maybe you should post some kind of link or explanantion of
the Nigerian Scam in an afterword, on in the description on your site- I'm
not sure how many people know what it is.
I agree, I should have done that. I actually HAD such a link at an early
stage, then deleted it for some reason. At any rate, here is the link
which I had, and which I will put back in:
