Hi CW,

Nice to see you're still writing. I've just read ch 1 of this story and I like it so far. Hope to read the rest, and knowing your style, I'm looking forward to it.

One point... AFAIK the Titans' Robin is Dick Grayson. Still, you're entitled to give your own spin.

Wow, this story was amazing. I had never considered the Teen Titans sectionn as a viable source of fanfiction, but you certainly have made it so. From the details of every conflict and happening, to the understanding of each character's reasoning and personality, this tale has been excellent.

I believe I shall now begin to read your sequel. I look forward to future chapters

Oh my dear god, I loved this beginning. Although I'm of the personal opinion that Tim Drake isn't the Robin in the animated series, I'm sure it won't stop me from enjoying this fic.

Amazing beginning - I'm sure it only gets better. Great work. ^_^

Actually, replace all instances of "Adaptation" in my chapter 40 review with "Avatar". Oops.

I got into Teen Titans awhile ago, and knew from the strength of your Kim Possible fics that if I was going to read any TT fanfiction, I had to read yours. I'm not disappointed. Once again, you have excellent characterization, insomnia-inducing plots, and a great sense of humor right next to a sharp edginess running throughout the whole story. One thing I noticed particularly in Adaptation is that your action sequences are written such that they're very easy to visualize and tend to have a great pace.

One thing I did want to ask about, though, was your treatment of Raven. In Adaptation, she seemed consistently outright hostile to her team mates, particularly in the first half or so. In the tv series, by the end of season one she had managed to accept Cyborg and Beastboy as actual friends (including taking tofu breakfast from BB) in Nevermore, she was willing to share with Starfire and head to the mall in Switched, and understand Cyborg's overwhelmingly emotional attachment to the car and help him rebuild it from the ground up. Granted, she was reluctant and initially isolated in all these instances, but she was willing to come around after awhile--a strong introvert, perhaps, rather than a near-misanthrope. So, if there's a question in here, I guess it's this: are we reading Raven's character differently, or are you borrowing more from the comics (which I've not read) for Raven's character, or is there something else going on? I do like what you've done with her character, though, how you've emphasized the need for psychic isolation and absolute control to combat her father's influence--it makes it that much more impressive when she does manage to come out of her shell for something important, or slip up and get truly angry.

Anyway, thanks for the great story. :)

epic and spectacular.

Wonder work! I loved every chapter. This is very well written and thought out. Love it!

Epic.

I've never seen Teen Titans, but this is still probably one of my favorite stories on

There better be a sequel :)

one word: WO0TNESS!

Is there going to be a sequel?

Hi.
"Avatar" is the only story of your's that I've read, and I've never reviewed before but I have read it all.
Your writing is really good and I think that you handle the characterization excellently. Some writer's on completely fail to match the characters they're writing, if that makes sense. You've done an excellent job and I like the ways in which you incorporated elements from the comic books.
However, I have to say I hope you're not done with this story. I understand that you have committed a ton of time to this, writing several hundred thousand words, and that you have to end it sooner or later, but I think if you stop now you will be letting a lot of people down and not doing the majority of the story justice. The last three chapters or so, as well as the epilogues, are unusually short compared to the others. And I think that people dislike an ambiguous ending even more than they dislike a bad one.
Then again, it just dawned on me that the second epilogue screams "sequel". If that is the case, excellent; if not, I'm unhappy.
About the only advice I would give you would be to stop writing fanfiction. I really enjoyed reading this, but I think your talent merits publishing actual books. If for some reason you're worried about you're ability to create original characters, settings, etc., you shouldn't be. It's obvious you're capable of developing a story over the long haul, and compared to that, the creativity part is easy. Imagination and perspiration and all that.
Anyway, I honestly hope you develop this story further (unless you bail in favor of actual publishing, which I would regret for this story but applaud for your success).

Thank you,
Zac

Brilliant, in a way that is all kinds of evil. Love it.

I bow to the master.

And I say that with all sincerity. Holy Jesus /christ/, this is leaps and bounds above almost everything else I have read on this website, with few exceptions. Your characterizations are amazing, and I even fell in love with Tek, which doesn't happen often, as I find most OC inserts to be somewhat insufferable in some way. But I loved her. Really. Even though you were totally mean to her.

Wow. I could just go on and on about this. Loved Streetbeat, loved the way you kind of did little "arcs" within the story, LOVED the crap you threw at the Titans. And just when I thought they had enough crap, you threw even MORE on their heads. Which made me feel very sorry for them. But then you gave them a break (Loved the Beach Blanket Blitz parts). And as soon as you thought it was going to be okay, BAM! You put them through the wringer again!

And if that wasn't enough, the story doesn't even get a happy ending! Which I am totally torn about, because on one hand, it is so refreshing to see a story with a more realistic sort of ending (I, for one, thought that Star was going to wake up while Robin was in her room. Which is cliche, so I'm glad that didn't happen.) But on the other hand, I just wanted everybody to be happy!

Overall, I adore your story.

Ipso facto, I adore you.

Keep up the BEYOND excellent work! (And write a sequel--please?)

Wow. I wasn't expecting that ending but it makes sense the way you did it. I've read this story multiple times through multiple deletions and it has been one of the best I have ever come across. Your charaterization and show of emotion is by far the best I have seen. Great story and I hope you have a sequal planned because I would love to read more of this.

Ah, what’s-her-name. Sara? Clara? Tara? Yeah, that’s it, Terra. Nice to see she isn’t dead, I guess. I feel really sorry for that apple pie. Apple pie deserves to be treated better than that. It is the king of all pies, apple, and strawberry-rhubarb is it’s queen. Pumpkin pie is the heir apparent, and blueberry is the eldest...and fairest...princess. Mincemeat is the jealous half-brother of apple who shall never legitimately claim the throne. I’m sorry, where was I going with this? Somebody mentioned pie, and it distracted me. What? I’m the one who mentioned pie? How irresponsible of me. On with the show.

Okay, so, baby-Slade is interesting enough, I suppose, but does this mean there are now /two/ Slades running around? One still healing and still creepily watching over a young, angry, and very vulnerable girl; a second vowing vengeance for a death that never came? That’s...twisty.

The Avatar has a new host. Joy. Perhaps he shall return in time to save...err, destroy Christmas. Unlikely, I know, but a boy can dream, can’t he? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Bitch Troq? I hadn’t realized the Avatar was a racist. A powerful entity to be sure, a world-destroyer quite probably, an evil being...possibly. But a racist? For shame, Avatar. Didn’t Mister Rogers teach you better than that?

Bah...I’m sorry. “Epilogue” has drained me of all motivation at the moment, and I can’t really seem to come up with anything remotely helpful or relevant. Oh well, with the hope that springs eternal in the human breast, I shall survive. After all, you still have an ongoing story. It’s not like you’d abandon a story for a year or more. Certainly not forever. And, who knows...the Teen Titans may yet return again, someday, or perhaps the Streetbeat in their place. You’ve certainly littered these last two chapters with enough story seeds to choke a chipmunk, and there are still so many unanswered questions...heck, so many unasked questions...remaining that the story has to pick up again eventually, right? Maybe? It could happen. Couldn’t it? Dang it...I forgot I shut off my hope valve years ago.

Ah, don’t mind me. I’ve just always taken endings very poorly. Even ones that are laced with promises. Especially ones that are laced with promises.

Epilogue...the word makes me sick to my stomach.

The End.

Indeed.

Epilogue? Epilogue!?! Son of a...I really wish I didn’t know what that word meant. With that one word, Nine, that one damnable word, you have succeeded in dropping my mood by several orders of magnitude. Epilogue...hee-ay-zues, it’s high school all over again.

Bah...Tek. Dangit, I’m calling her Jennifer, and there’s nothing you can do about it! So, Jennifer finally lost. That’s too bad. I was starting to really like her character. Now she won’t have one. With any luck scary-Tek will make a cameo somewhere in the (probably quite distant) future, but...guh. Well, what do we have here? Hrmm...nice description, as always. I love the vivid description of her physical appearance in particular, but you also did a great job portraying the struggle going on in her head. The setting was good and the outcome was...acceptable. First thing to go through my head, though, was, “too bad she didn’t stumble upon Robin’s neurotoxin.” Not very nice of me, eh? Still...I think in the end Jennifer would have preferred it that way. Too bad she’s gone now, replaced only by Tek...scary-Tek, at that.

The scene with the remaining Titans proper gathering again, possibly for the last time, was good. It was good to see Raven being up and about, though Kory’s continued lifelessness almost broke my heart again. I loved Beast Boy’s reaction to Raven’s, “It’s not like she can hear us,” but I gotta admit I agree with Raven here. The solution to Vic’s little consciousness/communication problem was good, if a bit too convenient, but at least he can give input now. The last few lines of the scene, encompassing Beast Boy’s question, Vic’s response, and Starfire’s absence, were easily the best of this short chapter.

The little peek in at what is left of Robin was interesting. Loved your description of the room as well as Robin’s self-inflicted restraints. Nice little internal monologue thingy there at the end, too.

On to chapter 40...
