So, it's the first day of school and I'm halfway asleep. Looking around I see most of the class struggling to stay awake and we're only two hours in. Our teacher, Birgitte yaps on and on and on.... So, how do I stay awake.....?

Six squillion years ago, when I was back at school, I had a teacher so boring that the only way I could stay awake was to argue with him... You could try that, I guess... ;D

You could try that, I guess... ;D I could but this particular teacher does have a rumor for smelling of alchohol on workdays...no kidding either. Those poor people who had her as a consultant during group project were butchered´at the evaluation. Somehow stuff she did approve of before were suddenly wrong and she was being totally unfair. It is being brought up at the next meeting with the head of school but I'd rather no get on her bad side now, really.

You wanted something to read that was funny, didn't you? I don't do humourous versions of 'Janet & John', I'm afraid, so you'll just have to cope... ;D
The Dragon stories are short. I won't be held responsible for you suddenly bursting out in wild laughter in the middle of class, though ;D

Then read the second one, dummy. It's better. Mainly because I have a better handle on Dragon the second time around...

No-one is going to try to make you read ALL of it, Peter. Just take a look at some of it, and see if you like it or not. No-one is going to twist your arm and force you to keep reading if you hate it

Peter... Just read what interests you, and at whatever pace suits you best. I assure you, we won't mind if you don't read everything. As a rule, Elliot and I try to keep our stories accessible as much as possible. X-Force is probably the hardest to keep up with, because there's so much there to explain and we draw from a lot of X-history. But we do try to keep things streamlined and easy to read. Our other work is easier to get into as a general rule, I think, simply because we draw on less established history. I don't think you'll need to have read anything to get into Elsa or any of Elliot's other stuff. As for my work... Night Spider is probably the easiest to jump into, just because it stars original characters I created that are set in an original universe. (Except for Meta Man, who Elliot let me use. ) I've just started NS over fresh, so you'd be getting in on the ground floor anyway. I'm also planning to start Scorpion in the near future, which is set in the MU but doesn't rely on much established stuff. Hope that helps.
