The Bad: Uhm….Judge #2 wasn’t as pleased as the other two about this story. “Cohesive? What?.... Not much of a plot to speak of, and it ends abruptly. There was really no point to this at all. It didn't tell me anything new.” No fear though! Judge #3 did find some things that they wished you would work on, “There were very few spelling errors. I have to say it was a little simple. There wasn't very much description, and that's one of the things that made me think it would fit better as a humor story than as a drama. Really, the first time I read it I thought it was more funny than it was dramatic.”
Summary: Rictor comes back from one of him many trips back home to Mexico. As he returns he sees many character changes in his teammates, and must adjust to them.
The good: Oh my goodness! Another comment from Judge #1! “I liked the idea of getting into Wade's head.” Judge #2 wanted to add that, “This was a pretty good, well-linked story that read smoothly apart from a minor, Typhoid-Mary-shaped jolt. I couldn't tell what was going to happen at the end--the story effortlessly carried me along to it. Jimmy, in particular, was well described. The dialogue was just fine, although I enjoyed Wade's narration more. This story achieved it effect of making the reader feel sorry for Wade--not because he was wronged, but because he's so clueless as to how to begin. This is a good piece of work if you'd like a look into the workings of Wade Wilson's mind--never a boring place! The story notwithstanding manages to capture Deadpool's total irreverence with free-flowing ease.”
The bad: Once again we look to Judge #2’s wisdom, “I must dock marks from the overall cogency of the plot for that Typhoid Mary bit, which came out of nowhere and was over just as quickly with no real explanation other than "plot point". The style was readable, if a bit choppy. The title is a bit heavy-handed for a tale about a man who's not into "touchy-feely crap" Just two minor complaints; the first is the usual Red-Monster "Good Guy Bashing". Sure, Jimmy's duller than a dial tone, but "responsible and reliable and faithful and willing to commit" surely doesn't qualify as "mushy crap", as stated by the old lady? I'd like to see the Monster perhaps explore the possibilities of nicer, sturdier guys rather than dismissing them out of hand."
The summary: Deadpool gets his heart broken by a certain Irish redhead on X-Force. This story describes what happens to make him this way.
The good: Judge #2 had to say that it was, “Not bad.”
The bad: Judge#2 also had to say that it was, “a bit hard to follow-- transitions between characters is not clear and lacked punch. Hardly any dialogue; characters' thoughts a bit stilted. Flat; not much variety. Read if you're a diehard Jimmy & Terry fan and have replayed every possible scenario for their relationship in your head--thid could be one of them!”
The Summary: Ten years have passed since Jimmy left X-Force and
got
married. Siryn, is dying from cancer. As her life draws to a
close,
both of these former X-Force members look back at what might
have been.
The good: The story grabbed you by the coquinas. (No, I did not spell that right. No, I don’t care that I didn’t. Yes, you have to know Spanish to understand which word I was looking for.) Anyhow I liked this story. I liked seeing just how far that Magma had fallen.

The summary: Magneto goes to Forrester’s funeral. The police come too, the New Mutants must stop them from taking Magneto!
And the Winner is...
The good: Judge #1 came out of lurking to say, “This is simply a tale that Marvel (criminally) never gave us. Even if they had, I suspect it would not have been as good as this. Bravo, Alicia” Judge #2 wanted to add that, “The dialogue was just fine, and even the hard- to-write-well Scott and Jean were nicely rendered. A smooth, easy to read style.” Judge #3's only comment was "*sniffle.*" Bad, Alicia! You made poor little Judge #3 cry! Uhm…did we mention this won best drama??
The bad: Bwhahahaha!!! You only got 14.3 out of 15 on your spelling/grammar! My thought on how to solve this, a beta-reader with a degree in English. When you find them please send their e-mail address to me!
