About Containment
When it rains it pours. Or, sometimes ideas have friends.
I am prone to getting stuck, unable to express what happens next or unable to get past a plot problem. Think on such a problem for more than a day or so and it's easy to get discouraged. It's good to have something *else* to write, something with different rules and expectations.
So when I looked through the old idea box, and I pulled out the high school mind controller, the Rip Torn buddy-cop / alien U.S. Marshalls idea came out with it.
Let's see where it goes.

Re: Containment
*hides from the UFO's and the "men"-in-black* It seems like a promising start. It'll be interesting to see what kind of alien the crotchety old timer is and how the new recruit inevitably screws something up. Or not. Maybe there will be some subversion of my expectations! You never know until the author writes it, after all. Anyway, thanks for writing because it assuages any guilt I might have over not doing the same (and I enjoyed it).

Re: Containment
*snicker* Well, at least the song choice function's working appropriately... Because that's All You Need, right? It certainly is an interesting plight Radi has going there. Not one you see very often. I'm looking forward to seeing how s/he intersects with the characters from the previous chapter.
