Hello there.
Wow...This is...This is brilliant. As I finished each chapter I found myself thinking "Aww man, now I'm just closer to the end." If I saw this in a store somewhere, I'd buy before one could say...well, before one could say anything.
It was confusing, though with the ages, in two ways. One, because I kept forgetting that their growth rate was sped up, so when I read about when they sneak out of the academy and it said they were four, I'd forgotten they'd reached the maturity of an eight-year-old. That's probably entirely my fault, though...Excuse my ADHD, please... Also, by four years is it supposed to be four Irken years or four Earth years?... If you would know how long an Irken year is...I'm not sure how many people actually know, or care, for that matter.
The end, goodbye.

Oh.

Oh, WOW. This was amazing. Probably the best Tallest fic I've read yet, and it's set the bar extremely high. I can't even articulate how much I loved it.

Thank you so much for writing this. Reading it really made my day.

Now, I have to confess, I read the transcript for The Trial, ands I love that episode. I like all the ideas it has, and especially get a kick out of the idea of Zim singlehandedly destroying two previous Tallests.

However, I like this fic more. Much more.

I've read a lot of fics on this site, but there are only a few that stick with me and that I remember, or factor into things when I'm thinking about the fandom as a whole. This is one of those. You had drama in there, you had comedy (I remember laughing especially during chapters 13 and especially 14 - the line "Dirn still didn't see why Purple had felt the need to claw Red's face, or why Red had to beat Purple over the head with the scepter, but..." still makes me chuckle), you had realistic relationships and you had no gratuitous sex or swearing.

Your ideas flowed. The reader was kept up-to-date with what was happening, but not given so many details that the plot became stagnant. I also noticed the use of a few grammatical points I don't usually see around this site - the structuring of continued speech, for example. Now, I'm not going to pretend to be the Queen of Grammar or anything, but I have to say that in the technical aspects, this was excellent.

Well, I think my review has gone on long enough. Overall, a marvellous fic - I'm just appalled (No, I have no idea how to spell that word, despite my English teacher's best efforts) that this only has 10 reviews so far. Personally, this goes on more than my favourites list, it goes on my personal favourites list in my notebook (Yarr, this makes me sound sad/like a freak etc...I'm guessing I should really just shut up now.). Well done indeed!

And by the way, Zim's audience with the Tallest was priceless.

Apologies if this is riddled with typos. I'm using an unfamiliar keyboard and it hates me.

This really is a *fantastic* fic...I love it! The way in which you wrote it was so realistic and heart-warming; it made me want to read more even after I was finished. ^_^ I think you really captured Red and Purple well, as both kids and adults, and you were so inventive with the names. I always like reading fics like that, when the names and circumstances make it feel like it's not fanfiction (if that even makes any sense ).
The PostFanfic Notes were helpful to read as well - even if I already understood something, I still enjoyed reading your thoughts and explanations. I'm glad you decided to finish this; it truly is a work of art (and I'm also surprised it doesn't have more reviews!).

Wow. This is an *incredible* fanfic. Wonderful take on the Tallest's origins. A genetic fluke creating twins. :) I love how they get along (which isn't always very well). Also, I would like to say how well you did their personalities. Now that I think about it, Red really is the calmer one. Purple's more frantic, kinda like a mother with too many insane children. Red's more childish, though, and a lot more laid back about things. Hmm, I'll have to think on that...I feel a plot bunny forming...yay, you've inspired me! :D

*insane happy giggle.* O yay. More Tallfic on a 4 day weekend. Whoot.

Man, this totaly rocks. Very well written. You used new ideas, and good ones at that. I honestly don't know why you don't have more reviews. A story of this callibar should have over 30 at least. To rap it up, I love it

Once again I find the need to stop reading, but I will come back to read more later. ^_^ It's interesting to see how someone sees exactly how the Irken society functions, especially since information like things related to the episode, "The Trial" did not exist when most of this fic was created. Extremely interesting, actually. And for that reason alone I'll try to find more time to read it. ^_^

Well, even though that wasn't at all slashy...Well. O.o Maybe it was. Sortof, but o_o; I liked it! Alot. It was nice, long, and well written. 5 out of 5. I hope you continue to write in the future.

*shmacks you a couple of times* Besides all the MISTAKES and ERRORS that POSERS make, it's rather good.

Once again, go to the website. Though might I piont out that Zim and the Tallest were in Invader training together. Isn't that rich?

Well, since nobody was reviewing and this was SUCH a long fic, I decided to, you know, look around. To tell the truth I coulda shmack you with all the errors you made on Irken society. Sheesh! Am I the only writer that bothered to look up info first before I changed everything? Huh? Huh? Huh?

It's pretty good, though it's so looooooooooong! But then, plenty of people have read my 12 Chapter NBC fic, and I'm not complainging.

Oh, go to http://www.thescarymonkeyshow.com and look around "Irken Guide" in the "Zim Stuff" section. Just a tip.

Considering I have a bad habit of sitting and reading a fic all the way through without reviewing, I figured I might as well review now before I forget--and trust me, stories this good would make me forget to review, because I would be in such a rush to get to the next chapter. I just LOVE how Red and Purple are in this, it makes so much sense. Then again, I'm always open to other versions of their personalites done by other authors...especially after writing so many fics of my own with varying personas for each of them. And their life as Tallest could be seen like that as well...

NOW! Onto chapter three~!
