There are no words for how FRICKIN' AWESOME this story is. I love how you've put things from canon so they fit smoothly into... This is sometime 'round or just after the Industrial Revolution, right? I've only read the first two chapters so far (stumbled upon a link at an LJ rant comm about Kingdom Hearts fanfiction), but I adore the story already. I especially like how you did the accents so tastefully. It really lends to the atmosphere of the fic, and helps make it more believable. I haven't really spotted anything that needs working on, but I haven't really been looking.

Your spelling and grammar are certainly up to snuff in this, but the plot seems quite unoriginal-- it seems to me as if it's just a rehash of Kingdom Hearts in a less interesting setting. A Great Depression AU could potentially be engaging (if not my particular cup of tea) but this fic simply seems to be taking the game's plot, tweaking it slightly, and putting it into an uninteresting setting.

Also, I understand you probably tried keeping the characters IC, but with the way you wrote their accents and changed their speaking patterns, it doesn't much sound like them.

Can't read it. I just can't. And after reading some of your reviews, I can see most of your readers are about as intelligent as you are.

Try to write something original, eh? And maybe something that doesn't suck.

I tried reading the first chapter of this, but I didn't make it all the way through. It wasn't terribly interesting, and the characterization isn't all that great. You don't write phonetical accents very well -- I suggest just writing it normally. It gets annoying rather quickly.

The idea of the entire story of Kingdom Hearts happening during the Great Depression is a little... strange. Probably why I didn't get that far in it.

Oh well. I'm sure there are a few other people who think this is okay.

Didn't much do it for me. Sorry!

Cool! Stromboli's here. I always thought that he was a strong villain, and they should have included him in the game. Or at least Pleasure Island. Can you imagine?

Once again, nice work with the names. Particularly Geppetto's. And I'm looking very much forward to Halloween Town and Neverland, especially with the little tidbits you've thrown in here about them. I love the ending of this chapter, too. You know what's coming, but it's still fun to see how you've worked it into your story.

I'm a little confused about Riku's motivation kidnapping 'Pinnochio', but it wasn't exactly well thought out in the game, either. It sort of felt like Nomura just stuck Riku there for the sake of having a point to Monstro. Although I like how the fight turned out, and Riku's encounter with Donald and Goofy. It was neat to picture them furious, instead of just being comedically aggravated. People need to write them more often, seriously. They're not as limiting as one may think.

And the flashback at the beginning of the chapter was awesome. And I thank you for not denoting it like /*Flashback*/ and then having everything written in italics. Because trivial as that may be, it's annoying.

Looking forward to more!

Urgh. Stromboli. *hisses* However much I dislike the character, I LOVE how you were able to work him into the story like that XD Parasite Cage was totally his Heartless, yes it was.

This chapter? Definately worth the wait. And wonderful as always~. I love how everything is so connected, rather than each town just seeming like it's stuck in some sort of seperate bubble. The random appearences of other Disney characters is made of so much win XD *hugs Nemo* The interactions between everyone are wonderfully written, and the fact you can keep them in character so well is an even bigger bonus~!

And Riku's little wish upon a star scene? Absolutley adorable

y halo thar, I is reviewin'.

Wonderful chapter. :D Took forever to do, yeah, but it turned out fantastic! You tie canon and the Depression together very well, and it doesn't read choppily, as if each little chapter is a separate story, the way it so often happens when people write through each world. They're all still very much part of a whole.

Love the Finding Nemo references, love how you tied in some extra Disney canon with Stromboli as the Cage, love how everything is so wonderfully interconnected -- Nemo ties to Pinnocchio ties to Halloweentown AND to Maleficent who ties to Hook, and then Kairi comes back in... it's quite complex, I'd say at least as complex as the game. :D (And by complex, I don't mean Nomura-style wtf-is-going-on-now complex. But you probably figured that out.)

Watching Riku develop and Sora react is just a treat, and it's dealt with here so well. I love the bit with Sora's photo.

Anyway, very nice. Much love for you!

Hehe, I didn't realize Stromboli was the Parasite Cage until Riku suggested he and Sora attack him together.
I still find it amazing how you can parallel the game to a reality, even if it's not the reality now. ^_^
Update soon!

Carmen's Carpet, easy! XD
I really like this story, it's so awesome how you can make it fit in the timeline, but I can still see the parallel in the game.
I'll be looking out for the next chapter, and your new story!

Agrabah!!

...wait, you named him Alphonse? How can you do such a thing?! Aladdin is the coolest Disney guy ever, and you named him *Alphonse*. For shame. XD

I really liked Genie in this one, he was rather more subtle than usual. Which is not to say that William's Genie is bad, but it's a new twist on a classic character, and it's done quite well. Carmen was also pretty good, and a nice interpretation of 'you-know-who' (not Voldemort. The secret character you want everyone to guess).

Again, I like that you deviated from the direct plot of Kingdom Hearts. But I wasn't too keen on the use of practically the same lines from the movie. Come on, Rii, don't be shy - invent your own dialogue! Just because it's the same situation doesn't mean they have to say the same things.

Aside from that, this chapter was awesome. Once again, your knack for adaptation shines through. Although now I'm rather curious about Gene's connections...

Oh yeah, and Sora's "You have a MONKEY?" is pretty much amazing. Exactly what I'd do.

I still like it!
