| Market Square Heroes 2007-12-30 ch 26, | abuseOkay, you have left this long enough!! ..*puppy eyes* please update...possibly?? I'm at your mercy! I even wrote a little plee in a forum for people to come a beg with me for you to carry on! ...or hopefully finish. I know I kinda posted it in the section about " why aren't these stories published?" and your not going to publish this story-fair enough..but it was the only place fitting. Anyway! I know you have heard this time and time and time again but I can assure you that I'm being dead serious. I don't wish to pile on the pressure (ppft yeh well that was kinda unsuccessful) but it would be wonderful :) I know, we all have lives outside the cyber world but ...well, I think the amount of reviews you've recieved says it all basically :) Cherio for now! |

| Anonymous 2007-05-05 ch 27, anon. | abuseThis fanfiction is incredible! The characters fit the time period perfectly, Erik is wonderfully sarcastic and accurately portrayed, Isabel is a fascinatingly complex OC, and Thomas (despite the fact that I don't particularly like him...why, I can't be sure) is an interesting person in his own right, with a very unique personality. I don't know whether your version of Nadir is being faithful to his book persona (The only versions of Phantom I have experienced first hand are the movie and soundtracks from the play), but he's certainly a pleasure to read. Like Tom, I am somewhat frightened of Mr. Sanders: he's just too happy! Though pitiful, it was almost a relief when he showed some negative emotion: I no longer doubt his humanity, though I'm still rather wary of him. He strikes me as being rather unstable for some reason. As for Samantha, she is very cool in general: her crush on Nadir is absolutely adorable. I hope to see them together later on, though I imagine that France might complicate things a bit. Daniel irks me terribly, though I am, again, not able to fully explain my reasons. You are, I think , one of the few gifted writers on Fanfiction who can create a slew of original characters and keep each of them refreshingly human: marvelously blending their faults and virtues AND carefully constructing them to fit the world into which they are cast. I have not seen anything even remotely resembling a Mary Sue in your story. The plot somehow manages to be both drawn out (No romance between Erik and Isabel after twenty seven lengthy chapters!) and fast paced, every scene is significant, and the imagery is phenomenal. Overall, the entire story is perfectly believable, so kudos for making a masterpiece of a fiction. I sincerely hope that you manage to finish it, despite leaving it untouched for approximately seven months. It would be a true shame if something this well written was left incomplete. On a more critical scale, there were occasional cases of repetitive wording and incorrect tense usage in some of your earlier chapters. It wasn't significant enough that I remember anything specific, but it might be worth looking into. I don't recall any spelling errors. I also think there might have been a minor inconsistancy with Isabel: in one of her letters to Daniel, she seemed to love the sea. She later says that she has never developed much fondness for it. Otherwise, flawless. I don't usually review, let alone ask questions, but I am curious on one thing: was the scene in which Erik removed his mask during the storm inspired by the song Foolish Games by Jewel? I would normally assume not, but the lyrics seemed so specifically reminiscent of that part that it got me wondering. Anyway, great job! (Please) Keep up the good work! :-) |
| Metaculpa 2007-04-27 ch 27, anon. | abuseSo good to see you went back to it. I do hope this is a story you plan on finishing. It would be a great shame to use this to add to the great sea of unfinished fan fiction that starts with a wave of enthusiasm and a situation, and ends with an apology, indifference, and boredom, usually halfway through the build-up to a climax. And if you're inclined to fix minor things: " . . .Mr. Bertrand said, his smooth tone in humorous contrast with his relaxed pose." How exactly is a smooth tone a contrast with a relaxed pose? It seems to me the two are natural allies. I see what you mean by hints of humour in the situation, but they're from the contrast between his pose and tone, and the anger he's previously hinted at on the topic under discussion - Daniel. There were other equally minor things I could point out, but it seems cruel. I'd like to thank you again for creating actual characters to balance the strength of Erik. You haven't neglected his spiky fire, and you have not (bless you!) succumbed to the banal requite-fest that most "phans" *spit* descend into. Coming up with strong, original characters to play opposite Erik is almost unheard of. Combine that with not ripping his shirt off and indulging in a big smooch-o-rama within 5 chapters, let alone 27, qualifies you for some kind of sainthood. If I had spare chocolate cookies and cake, I would send them to you. But for God's sake, keep writing, and finish this thing. Or it'll be the spikes under the fingernails again, I'm tellin' you. |
| Kat 2007-04-23 ch 27, anon. | abuseI love the story. I hope that you will write out some more chapters. I can't wait to read more. |
| Abbabble 2007-04-06 ch 27, anon. | abuse::wishes this was a forum so she could bump the story:: Been following this story since '05. Will you update soon? Did the muse abandon you? This has marvellous characterizations, good plot (yet unfinished), and lively writing. Please don't abandon your readers--they're out there, promise! |
| Mominator 2007-04-05 ch 27, anon. | abuseWell, I WAS going to ask (beg, plead, offer my firstborn [but she might object, ESPECIALLY since she's fast approaching 30]) for an update to your wonderful story (after all, it's not fair to Erik and Bella to leave their relationhsip suspended in limbo indefinitely), but I see others before me have done that, so instead I'll send good thoughts and wishes that things are going well for you. And, of course, good vibes, in the hope that they will assist you when it comes to updating. ;D Barb |
