 hyperpsychomaniac 2005-08-16 . chapter 1Yes, gnomes are freaky :) Lol. That was funny. You wrote it so it took a little while to actually figure out that they were gnomes, but when you do figure it out... hehe. Love it. |

Poor Fiona.:P
Oh well, at least his hate of gnomes meant that Sparx got saved later, I guess.
Nice little fic, I hope we get some more from you! :) |
 Scarabbug 2005-08-15 . chapter 1Yes! A new fic and a new fic writer! Good to see you in our small but selective fandom, Xin.
I like this – funny and dealing with a canon issue in a very humorous way. I like the way you related it, and I didn’t actually realise they were gnomes at first. I took the fic disturbingly seriously until Mark showed up.
Some nitpicks:
Gosh – Mark’s British, yes, but he’s not straight out of an Enid Blyton book. He is a bit, as my friend Feef said, "1950-ish" - they don't make em like that in the UK like anymore.) But not that much. He’d say “God", or "Damn” I think. But not “Gosh.” I don’t think he’s ever said it in canon.
I’m not sure you had to explain exactly that mark was a “blonde haired teenager” – the word “a” suggests Ace doesn’t know him. “The” might be better. In fact you don’t really need to totally explain him in that way.
Your grammar is good. All in all a great introductory fic. It was very entraining. Welcome and have fun writing ^_^ |
 Blue-Inked Frost 2005-08-15 . chapter 1Oh, this is a nice idea, exploring the gnome issue. I think QuickEdit has played merry hell with a few of your spaces between words. Aside from that, it's mostly nicely written, though it could do with one more proofread.
"slits, which down at who he assumed..." I do not think this is written correctly.
Blonde/blond: it's a bit odd, but "blonde" is the female, "blond" is the male; Ace is blond and Kat is blonde.
"These things are minions of Lord Fear. They thought I thought they were harmless, but I knew better," Ace said, quite proudly. "They thought they could attack and destroy me, but now they're leader is in bits. Strange, though, that has never happened before with any of my enemies." Leaving the "they're/their" confusion aside, I think this line is a bit OOC for Ace: that sort of grandiose narrative is more Lord Fear's style than Ace's. Also, Ace uses contractions ("that's never happened").
You could've explained about the history of Ace and gnomes. :P
Nice fic, cute. |
