Reviews For: Let It Loose

disposablehero 2006-09-19 ch 1,	abuseI can't really describe how sad this little ficlet makes me. I know, eventually, that if I keep writing Bebop fic, I'm going to have to get them off the ship and out of bounty hunting-- hunting's just a fill-in job, not a life's work-- and I'm so utterly loathe to do it, because that's like admitting time goes on, and the whole fanfic thing is to stop time, let the beloved series hang in a kind of static snowglobe. You've broken the snowglobe here, and that takes guts-- more than I have, anyway. Dialogue's your strongest point, but I bet you know that already. It's so full of subtext and unspoken information. Very lifelike. I like that you got Jet fixed up, too.
Fwe 2006-04-30 ch 1,	abuseI just thought I'd tell you that I thought that this /very/ good. The characters were IC as far as I could tell, and I think you kept it very believable. The cinnamon rolls bit was great and the conversation they had when they first met seemed like something out of real life. :) There was nothing flashy, no strange pairings, just one-hundred percent believable fanfiction, and I think that is what is important. To tell you the truth, for some strange reason that is quite beyond me to figure out, I thought it was Spike talking at first. O.o Strange, I know, but I did. Anyway, very nice. Keep it up.
bebopnangel 2006-03-27 ch 1,	abuseI really liked this piece! Could really be a part of the series! :)
Blonde-Existentialist 2006-03-27 ch 1,	abuseEw fruitcake. I love you ya know, but I do hate that stuff. Here have one of the oatmeal cookies I just made and be one with those, their much better I promise. Ya know, at the very first(I mean very very) I assumed it was Spike you were writing about because you never really write stories with just Faye and Jet. I then ofcourse paused and thought about it. Facts being: he obviously died in cannon, was never going to get to 45(plus can't be that old from simple addition), wasn't going to settle down and have a shop, no peaceful existance with Faye, and not the kind of person to have a soft spot for sweet warm comforting cinnamon rolls. And Ed's not going to marry a woman(probably) nor is she a man and well, Faye and Ein never got along. Therefore we conclude it to be Jet. At first it was lite and happy and sweet. I was all "oh reunion, how nice". Then thoughts turned to Spike and the atmosphere became much more tense. Overall very good piece and nice accurate maturation and continuation of the characters. Nice :D
In True Meanings 2006-03-22 ch 1,	abuseOh my gosh! I totally love that conversation between Jet and Faye. I can totally picture it as a scene from a movie or an extra scene at the end of the Cowboy Bebop show. This was chapter was well done and I just love reading your stories.
BunnWw 2006-03-21 ch 1,	abuseI loved it, but then again I love all of your stuff. The flow of it was especially great this time though.
gentle gwen 2006-03-21 ch 1,	abuseYeah, you wanna tell me next time you write a story so's I don't have to do the whole "Hrm, let's see what my flesh and blood is up to" thing? Thanks. This is brilliant. It's better than brilliant. It rocks my face off. You're the coolest. Boo-tay!
Kate Spiegel 2006-03-21 ch 1, anon.	abuseI really love this one, it shows that they have moved on really well.
Brigidforest 2006-03-21 ch 1,	abuseThis is going to sound kind of wrong, but just stay with me for a bit. What I like the story is the lack sentimentality toward his death. It's fact. It something that cannot be changed. There's hints of emotion here and there on Faye's face, but they're rejected and both characters opt for the comical, the detached, something (as Jet affirms) very much in the spirit of who Spike was. It doesn't end in an emotional catharsis or resignation. But life just goes on without Spike. He wasn't a point change, because the changes ocurred before him and have continued after him. It's funny, I wasn't sympathetic to either one, but I could still relate immensely. I really, really liked how that worked. It's optimistic. Spike died, yes, people die, but life continues and there's hope in that. But not the sentimental kind of "we can go on" hope, but just that Jet's and Faye's stories continue without Spike, which is something not seen very often in our fandom.
Bobbie 2006-03-21 ch 1,	abuseOh. I always like a well-written story that sticks with Spike's death. It's difficult, but certainly true to character. This is typical ssg, which is, of course, brilliant. ;)
space raider 2006-03-20 ch 1,	abusewow really, really, really nice :) beautiful writing and a great topic. it's rare that i see any fics set so far into the future after the series. the parts you mentioned about Jet selling the Bebop, getting married and visiting Spike really got to me. i love that you brought all of that up. =] Faye was very post-Bebop in-character as well. just how i pictured her being a decade later and so, in short: loved it xoxo!!
phoenix521 2006-03-20 ch 1,	abuseaw, that brought a tear to my eye. it was a really good one-shot. i'll admit, at first i thought the guy was spike, but when i realized it was jet, it just instantly made the story so sweet. i really do love jet and you wrote him quite well. the interactions between him and faye. it was so sad, yet so familiar. the story had a really good feel to it. and the thing about the plot number was quite clever, indeed. it was a comic way for faye to, once again, stick it to spike. good break from leadbelly (and was ledbetter a play off of that?) but truth be told, i'm very relieved that spike is still alive in that story!
