I've been enjoying the slash discussion on the FFMB. It was nice to see opinions from other sides. There was a time I wouldn't read anything but Michael/Nikita – I had no idea what I was missing. *g* And I might as well confess, I don't agree with 'Michael would never do that' or 'would never want to do that'. There's more than one way of characterisation.
~
And now, for the thought of the day – I've been reading some of the stories in the archives lately, and a large number of them touch upon Michael's early days in Section. The general fannish opinion about Michael's training and early period in Section is that he was treated brutally by Operations and Madeline (and Jurgen, at times) and that's the reason why he is the 'broken' man he is today.
I don't buy this theory well.
( Cut for the rest. I talk too much. )
