June 8th, 2008 http://www.kupopolis.com/Sliver3/pages/view_post.php?post=69186917  It started out wonderful (if you ignore the end-at-the-beginning thing).  I loved all the characters and felt interested in what would happen to them (that in the past has been a problem for Michael).  Half way through I was p... June 8th, 2008 http://www.kupopolis.com/Sliver3/pages/view_post.php?post=691869176916  I liked this one.  I actually liked it a lot in places (more then some stories I gave higher scores to).  But it had some glaring flaws that I felt just lowered the experience.  But if we had an Iron ReWriter contest, thi...

June 8th, 2008 http://www.kupopolis.com/Sliver3/pages/view_post.php?post=69186917691669156914  I'm putting this right in the middle of the list, because I keep changing my mind about this story.  At some points I think it should be in the top 3, at others, I think it should go second to last place.  I've re-read it 3+ t... June 8th, 2008 http://www.kupopolis.com/Sliver3/pages/view_post.php?post=691869176916691569146913  Another well written story.  It was also a very involving and enjoyable read.  My main problem with it was it had such a depressing and pointless ending.  Banks fights an impossible-to-defeat enemy, and then loses along w... June 8th, 2008 http://www.kupopolis.com/Sliver3/pages/view_post.php?post=6918691769166915691469136912  My third favorite story.  Good fun story, not at all what you expect, which makes it interesting.  The pacing, the story line, and twists held my interest and made for a good read.  In fact, the most enjoyable read of the...
