Fandom: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Rating: Pretty much gen.
Subject: The Big Bang.
Word Count: 314
Warning: Just that it's not beta read and that the last time I actually finished an MFU story was years ago, as well as it being a while since I watched an MFU episode since I no longer have easy assess to a VHS and all my episodes are in that format.

I would like to see you flesh this intriguing little thing out with some visuals or thoughts - some hints of what Waverly thinks of these men, what they're thinking of the situation, stuff like that. Do you plan to work on it at all, or are you done with it?

Those are some interesting suggestions, thanks, I shall have to have a think on how to incorporate that into the fic.

Do you plan to work on it at all, or are you done with it?

The intention was to just improve the writing on what I have. The way it's left at the end is sort of moving towards a slash situation and although I've read plenty of slash especially between Napoleon and Illya, I've never gone so far as to actually write any. That isn't to say I'm necessarily done with it as I've written quite a few sequels to short fics in the past.

It would be an effective teaser if you kept the ending where it was. Nothing wrong with that. People might nag you for a sequel, but that's entirely up to the author and her muse, as far as I'm concernerd. I'd just, personally, like to see some character-revealing details within the conversation, you know, hints of past and future and what they're feeling and thinking about this situation.

Just my thoughts. :-)

Oh I used to nagging, I was nagged for a sequel to an MFU fic about 4 years after I'd finished it once.

That seems to be the general consensus, I'll have to see what I can do.

I agree with LeeT. I'd like to see more. I find the idea very interesting especially because there is a big bang machine in Europe now. Don't know how long ago you wrote this. Neat idea.

I shall have to see what I can do about that. Of course the story is heading towards the slash direction and I've never actually written pure slash before so the idea of doing so is slightly daunting.

It was actually in early September just prior to when the big bang experiment occurred.*G*

Neat idea.

Thanks:)

I've deliberately not read any of the other comments, so if I just repeat what's been said, I apologise!

I'd really like to know more details, such as what was the last gruelling mission that left them both depleted. I'd also like to be able to identify the speakers and sometimes it's not clear who's saying what. I'd also like to be privy to a little more of Waverly's viewpoint - he seems almost to be toying with his agents in a rather impish way that I rather like. There are one or two wee punctuation glitches that you might want to fix.

I didn't realise people would wonder about that, it was really just added to put the agents on edge about Waverly calling them in. I'll have to have a think about what the mission was.

I kind of wish I had better access to the episodes, they're all on videos and I only have DVD players if I don't want to go raking around in cupboards for them and then set them up. I could have sworn amazon was listing the complete region 2 set a while ago but it seems to have disappeared which doesn't look good for a release coming any time soon.

I'd also like to be privy to a little more of Waverly's viewpoint - he seems almost to be toying with his agents in a rather impish way that I rather like.I think Waverly usually does toy with his agents quite a lot. Thank you for your feedback, I shall try to put all of the suggestions into action

I love how you incorporated a current affair into your story.

I definitely agree with Lee. If you wanted to take a stab at pre-slash, you could even add in some details of what Waverly may have seen and heard that led him to the conclusion that there were things the boys "would never consider doing..."

Being a "happy ending" freak, I WOULD like to see the ending carried further, but that is up to you.

Thanks, I usually get ideas from news items or things that's happened to me.

My brain has started working on some sort of sequel. I think though I should get this one sorted out properly first*G*

[aneuhaus]

Let me know if I can be of any help. Somehow, I don't think you need any, though.

[sharon28]

Thanks for the offer:) It looks as if I'm probably going to very busy over the next couple of weeks putting my website back up as it's mostly been deleted. So hopefully, I'll be able to continue the fics after that.
