I like how you've got Ilya and then later NCIS. It took me a minute before I shouted "Ducky!" and my housemate thought I was mad, but it's awesome once you realise :D

Wonderful.

*boggles* this is awesome! Can I please save off a copy off the Jack and Gibbs? Pretty please? that sooooo needs to be an icon! Oh my gods! Jack knowing Abby, duh!

This is all awesome. Thank you - and I love that you included the notes about your process of making the images, really cool.

This was wonderful! I love when you do Alternate!Jack things. His timeline is such an adventure, I'm glad your exploring.

Oh, and hstfsjkadah AUDREY HEPBURN AND JOHN BARROWMAN WOULD BE SO HOT IF HE WERE STRAIGHT AND SHE WERE ALIVE!!!

Absolutely great, especially the pics. Real masterpieces. I love it!

you completely rock! You crossed all my favorite fandoms in one story! I especilly loved the MUNCLE, Hellblazer, and NCIS crossovers (no mention of Ducky/Illya in that drabble?).

First, this was wonderful. I laughed out loud at times.

Second, EVERY time I hear Kashmir I think of Jack and the Doctor.

Brilliant!

Brilliant, but, ummm... (#9)

I love your work, as always - it's simply fabulous, being funny, touching, heartbreaking, thought-provoking and sexy by turns - sometimes even in the same story! These snippets were made of awesome, and so were the manips; hope to see more in this vein in the future! :D

That said, I did want to mention a nit-pick with #9. Speaking a bit of German, I was a bit surprised by this one, so I did some quick checking. The Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner#Jelly_doughnut_urban_legend has a pretty good summation of why and how this is actually an urban legend, not actually a grammatical error... Sorry!! (Runs and hides)

Oh my gosh, this was unbelievable! I can SO see Jack and Illya together!

Ianto. Ianto would shag Billie Piper. Oh, my life, YES. Sam, you angel. The only way that POSSIBLY could have been better is if Ianto added David Tennant to the list. Oh, sweet glory. ♥

I don't know if you've ever heard of the late great DJ John Peel? Many of his stories used to start "And anyway, I was having a chat with Fidel Castro..." or "and anyway, I was standing at the back when they brought Jack Ruby in...".
This reminds me of him!!!!

Great stuff! I particularly like the Elizabeth photo and the NCIA one. :D

[tardis-stowaway.livejournal.com]

I just followed a link to this. Wow! Glimpses into Jack's history during his waiting years on Earth would be cool enough on their own, but the pictures make this fantastically creative and fun. Excellent photoshop work! Picking favorites is hard, but I think I might like the Nixon one best. I would completely believe that Kissinger was an alien! The final one was subtle but really powerful.

My only complaint: no unexpected naked Jack! Oh well. This illustrated story is still brilliant.

[elanor12.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I absolutely loved this. On both the art and the writing.
The picture of Nixon is really well done.
The last one is kind of powerful with the text.

LOVE!

Win. Unmitigated win. So. Much. Fun.

[seagullsong.livejournal.com]

I love this to little bits and pieces. <3

Every time I see the description, however, I read it as "Jack goes down on history" and do a comical double take. XD Thanks ever so.

[yamx]

*is blown away* This is masterful. So many glimpses at Jack's (very long) life, and they run the whole gamut from funny to gut-wrenching. Amazing work. Great manips, too.

[asherescher.livejournal.com]

Wow, nice. And John Constantine!

[bulldogheavan.livejournal.com]

[electrictoes.livejournal.com]

Absolutely fantastic.

[pearlseed.livejournal.com]

Whoever you are, whatever made you imagine to do this shockingly fabulous essay--I must say thank you and it's such small words for the gift you have shared here. You don't know me from Adam's off ox, so thank you for your time in reading this and I hope with all my heart and part of my gizzard that you had as much fun making this truly unique compilation as I had reading and looking. Wow.

[tiger-flame.livejournal.com]

Oh... wow... Just... wow...

[bugeyedmonster.livejournal.com]

Ha! These were fun. I'd love to see Gibbs reaction to the love note. Hee!

There's something sad about the Rasputin one. And the Emma Goldman one.

As for Jack's pimp coat; remember Leisure Suits?

[bugeyedmonster.livejournal.com]

Oh, did I add beautiful manips? Very nicely done.
