 GreyLady07 2006-03-29 . chapter 1So...I reviewed this fic before I created an account on and now I don't remember what I said before. Oh, well. I really love the symbolism and and sort of abstract aspects of your fics, I really do. You're such a powerful writer that you put the rest of the AF FF authors to shame. I mean, this ficdom(?) is degenerating in a depressing fashion on for the most part. This fic is an exception, it's so gorgeous in terms of imagery and poignancy. It has a dreamlike quality to it, but the emotions are really sharp. There is the question of who put her up to it. My first guess would be Root, but you never can tell. Anyway, congrats on an amazing job. I'd say it was your best one-shot/drabble, but who cares about a gushing reviewer?

P.S. Are you going to be updating "Inferno" or "Descent"? |
 The Humble Mosquito 2006-03-28 . chapter 1Honour, honour! Yes, yes boys and girls one of my fics inspired this brilliant thing! [/boast]
Great job, Alde!
I've already commented on this twice before, but you asked for a re-review.
(By the way, very secretive -- posting credits, when, technically, I'm not even supposed to know it was you yet.)
The language is great; the structure perfect; yada yada, you're brilliant.
“I’ll kill myself, then.”
“You don’t want to die yet.”
“No—I don’t want to die with his blood on my hands.”
I loved that section, and I wish I'd worded one of the Trouble - Holly interchanges like that in the original.
I'm going to go and boast in all the other fics now. Hope you don't mind... |
