 Koryu 2004-12-28 . chapter 1 not bad. It was really pretty. You had a few typos, and i think you should have either put it in Sano's POV, or third person POV, those are the 2 that you should use for this type of story. This was good, though. I liked it. |
 Latavia 2004-12-23 . chapter 1Wow...that was so cute!
Um...hm, where to start?
I really enjoyed the dialogue, or lack of. Often authors rely heavily upon dialogue to keep a story moving, but you were able to write a gorgeous story with only three sentences spoken aloud. ^^
The 2nd person took a bit of getting used to, but for a story like this I think it was really well worth doing. Third person might have been a bit too impersonal, and first person might have made Sanosuke seem out of character, since many of the things you wrote about wouldn't be quite along the lines of his thinking. It was a bit weird at first (the 2nd person style) but in the end it made the story all that much better.
I also appreciated how although detailed, the story didn't get stuck telling us how exactly /how/ the sunlight fell, etc. So although it wasn't descriptionless by far, the description was balanced, not overwhelming.
I suppose the last thing I really want to rant about is how tranquil the whole story seemed. I read it while sitting in a room with my cousin and two siblings, with the tv blaring basketball stats, and arguing going on, and I /still/ came away with a really tranquil feeling. I dont know if that was your intent, but if it was, you most certainly reached it! ^^
Anyways, congratulations! It was an /awesome/ fic, as to be expected from you! ^^
Lots of hugs!
