Reactions and Reviews

It is screamingly, hysterically funny. It's one of the few stories I've printed out.[1]

I read "Therapy" by Amperage and "Camping" by Amperage & Livengoo -- they were kind of, um, melodramatic, but I found myself enthralled nevertheless.[2]

[Y]ou've read Camping!? *hugs you* I only just read Camping this year, not so much because i thought it would be really good, but because it's THE old-school classic fic. wasn't it weird how it started off like badfic, but got progressively better as it went along? it was like Amp and Liven figured out that they could actually write well as they went along. just because they were writing fanfic didn't mean it had to be crap.[3]

The pitfalls (and rain) keep finding Mulder and Scully with unfortunate but very amusing frequency in this entertaining story. Amperage and Livengoo's back and forth ping-pong writing helps keep this story fast paced, and the way they both write Mulder and Scully brings the best out of the characters, showing how much they care for each other even in the midst of the other's frustrating traits and ill-timed humor.[4]
