| ChocolateEclar 2008-03-12 ch 30, | abuseGreat job with this. You really captured Spike and Faye, and it had just the right pace for their relationship. :) |
| Rashaka 2008-02-05 ch 7, | abuseLoving this fic! Small colloquialism error in this chapter, though: "Only one person can sing that badly: Spike when he's three sails to the wind." Actually, the phrase is "three sheets to the wind" or "three sheets in the wind." A sheet, in nautical terms, is a length of rope connected to the bottom of a sail. When loose or "in the wind" (instead of locked or tied like they're supposed to be while moving) they have no tension on the sail and this allows the bottom of the sail to flop/sway around violently and irregularly, the way a drunken person might. The analogy doesn't make sense if you use "sails" instead of "sheets". Ideally you want your sails, whether one, thee, or more, to always be in the wind, because without wind you have no movement. However-- and this is linguistically interesting-- if you have your sail edge or bow directly facing into the wind, as "sails to the wind" would imply, you lose forward movement completely and stall in place. This is called "locked in irons", and would probably never used to imply drunkedness. Just some trivia for today! I'm going to enjoy this fic, it's pretty entertaining so far... |
| bobalina 2007-06-27 ch 30, anon. | abuseAah, Faye turns into a straight dealer. Pah. This is great! Keep writing! Toodles, bobalina |
| Conner 2007-04-16 ch 30, anon. | abuseGoddamn, you have to be one hell of a writer to get a twenty six year old man to enjoy a sappy romance as much as I enjoyed that. I went through a pack of Marlboros just to read it because I couldn't stop angsting about when they'd finally kiss. I laughed, I cried, I read the whole thing in one all-night sitting. In the end, my only complaint was the condition of my lungs. Nice job. |
| kio 2007-01-24 ch 30, anon. | abusei'm astounded this piece of brilliance has only 39 reviews. this is one of the best cowboy bebop fics in the history of cowboy bebop fics. the creme de la creme. wonderful in-character s x f goodness and snappy, beautifully articulate dialogue. |
| maudite 2006-12-09 ch 30, | abuseWow. Just... wow. That was amazing and wonderful and superlative. You write action a lot better than you think you do (and a hell of a lot better than I do), and the pacing was just right and oh my god an actual *plot*! It's hard to find good Bebop fics. Thanks for this one. |
| Bob5 2006-11-20 ch 25, | abuseI just need to let you know that the fact this ** masterpiece of a Bebop fic only has 37 (well, now 38) reviews is an insult to you and the fandom as a whole. This is just... what is wrong with people? More people should read this. Okay, I have major writer's block at the moment and I came to read this as a source of inspiration. Admittedly I'm now just left with a lingering sense of inadequacy but I really enjoyed the story all over again. This is my favourite chapter. You're amazing. Please update Clockwork Hearts soon! |
| Ficker 2006-09-16 ch 30, | abuseOh my God! I love the way you write! This story is just perfect and I have to thank you for the great moments I've had reading it. I discovered "Karma" the other day and I must say I love it! Your writing skills are amazing... I'd love to reach your level one day, believe me... The way you describe the facts, the emotions, everything... It makes me think you really have a future on this... The story goes straight to my favourites, and, of course, I'll keep reading your stories as they come up. Congrats! |
| Purple Pirate Lex 2006-09-15 ch 24, | abuseHey there! I just finished reading all chapters of this fanfic, and I must say that I am very impressed! Yes, I did read the entire story, but I decided to submit my review on this chapter, Dinner, simply because it was my absolute favorite! It embodies the essence of Spike, and yet it shows us the fun, goofy, adoreable, loveable, unpredictable Spike that we've never seen. It's not every day an author can add such an uncharacteristic scene for a character and still have it completely embody the real, true character. This chapter was very amusing to me. I laughed. It was great! There's really nothing bad I have to say about the entire story, except only for the fact that there's so much profanity used in the author's narratice instead of only the characters. (Don't worry, I wrote the same thing about three more authors; it's just a little peeve of mine.) Other than that, I love everything! I was greatful for the second to last chapter, though. after all those teasers... the suspense was killing me! Anywho, I just wanted to give you my kudos. ^_^ I'm new to the site, so my fic won't be posted until Sunday. But then perhaps you could look me up! It's a good story, but not half as exciting as yours. Heh. Thanks for writing such a great fic! |
| ni9htdreame12 2006-09-15 ch 24, anon. | abuseaww how cute... so far this is my fave chapter! |
| Kyoko Kasshu Minamino 2006-09-13 ch 30, | abuseTHIS IS SO GREAT. I mean really. This is one of the hands-down best Bebop fics on this site. It's passionate, clever, and interesting. I love that I found this. You portray a relationship between Faye and Spike so perfectly it's like I'm watching the show. I wish it would never end. ;o; Keep writing! Kyoko |
| Kyoko Kasshu Minamino 2006-09-12 ch 26, | abuseDAMN I LOVE THIS. All of it. From Chapter one on. YOU ROCK. :O |
| Moonwhisper 2006-09-06 ch 30, | abuseThis was an absolutely incredible piece of work. The plot was, the angst, the drama, everything. I loved it! This is the first CB fic I've read in ages, mostly because everything around for a while was trite, gushing drivel that was an absolute waste of my time. This is definatley a gem, and I look forward to reading more of your work! |
| Bobbie 2006-09-04 ch 29, | abuse' That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen a woman do when she comes." Absolutely f--king classic. I could hear him saying this. |
| Bobbie 2006-09-04 ch 25, | abuse"Just... hold that thought. I mean, really." I never thought after seeing the series that I could visualize SxF being a genuine couple--you know, minus the super-angsty S&M you see everywhere else. I attempted, and still, I don't think I got it right. Lines like these make me envy you. Really. |
