abuseWas just looking through your profile because I felt like looking through peoples profiles started thinking about getting on WOW and bam I see a Warcraft fic so I'm all Hellz yeah. Anyways I really liked this fic but I've never read any serious Warcraft(aside from the novels) ones so I'm not too certain on this pairing but I like what I see and although unlikely It doesn't seem too far out there. Guess I'll have to go on a search for some WC fics later. Would love to see more from you.

abuseBrillant, unbelivably great piece of writing. You captured the sheer chaos and intensity of battle and in the midst of it a tender moment. Gah i just love the list line 'it is a good day to die'. Definitely the best warcraft piece i've ever read.

abuseWow. Just... wow. So amazingly intense. Your descriptions are just breath-taking, and Thrall and Jaina's characterisation is _wonderful_. Thanks for writing.

abuseYou have a way with words that suits the mood of Warcraft incredibly well. You also have my undying gratitude not only for writing about Thrall and Jaina, but also for doing it so well.

Incidentally, I'm not sure if you're aware of this (though logic tells me you probably are) but "it is a good day to die" is the cheat code for immortality in Warcraft II. *I* know this because I was such a wussy twelve-year-old that I never beat WC II without cheats. Seeing the phrase warmed my geeky little cheating heart a little, whether it was intentional or not.

abuseHeheh, it's good to know there are Warcraft fans who can write this well! :-P Azeroth never felt so real to me as it did just now when I read Jaina and Thrall discussing methods of burning corpses to thwart necromancers... chilling.

abuseThis was an arrow through my lungs, painful, bloodly, and precious as every bit of breath taken.

abuseI'm not a Warcraft-fan, nor have I ever been, but I must read everything you write and damn, if you haven't done it again.

I don't know the characters and I hardly know the context, but this is once again a show of your brilliance.

It's blood and pain and angst and harsh, cold death, but it's also sparse words wrapped around emotions so powerful that I feel them in my bones, and it's beautiful.

This is exactly the kind of language I strive to achieve in my original fics but fail to reach; there's a depth so deep in-between the lines that you could hide Kraken in there and not find him again, and if I was the least bit religious, I'd be proclaiming you a divinity.

But I'm not, so I'll leave off with saying that you are still and will most probably always be the most innovative and brilliant author that this site has ever seen.

abuseBeautifully written. I love your writing style, I believe the story benefits from it. Thrall and Jaina have always been a favorite ship for me. I do hope you plan to continue...?

abuseThank you God! (freaks out) Yes, yes, yes, yes! This is what I've wanted! This is what I've... Always... WANTED! (dances)

Guardian, you have no *idea* how happy you've made me. I... I... I haven't felt this damn good since I finished reading "Go Not Gently" and cried/crazed over the ending! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Guardian, thank you. I have and always will hold you as one of the greatest authors on maybe one of the greatest authors in the world. We both know there is a difference between "book" and "story", but that's not much of one, and the point is more than moot- it's gone, dead and gone, and buried with the wind. You have to write, Guardian. You have to.

Man... I have nothing to say. This is beyond even your most beautiful work... (only Go Not Gently tops it, and that only because of the sheer insane *beauty* of it... might I add, did I ever tell you that Go Not Gently is still the best idea you ever had, maybe the best idea anyone's ever had, in all the long history of ?) and I have nothing more to say. It's beautiful, my friend, and fitting.

And, after beginning a story that will end in tragedy ("But That Was In Another Country"), it must be nice to write about one that won't. Even though you have chosen the middle of the worst night in the heroes' lives to talk about, they still win in the end- and they know it. Maybe not in the fic, but in the broader, more "real-world" sense.

And I just said "real-world" and meant it and boy that is really, really strange.

Thank you, Guardian. You have given me a lot of hope for the future now.

Your Eternal, Loving, and Adoring Fan,

abuseIt is cool -- the blessing just made me want to blubber like a little girl. I don't even play Warcraft -- but you captured the moments beautifully.

abuseSomehow the story flows hypnotically... despite the blood and gore of the massacre. VERY lovely! Best bit of prose I've read in awhile.
