 WamprickNyx 2007-07-18 . chapter 3This story is definitely different from the others I've read about Artemis Fowl. And it is very... emotional is the best word, I think. I see that you haven't updated for a long time, does that mean you finished this one? And if you finished this, will you write something like this again? I really liked the way you wrote after reading all these and please don't stop writing. You have a wonderful talent to write, I believe. |
 luver of jellybeans 2007-06-07 . chapter 3Interesting! Really interesting! I don't think I've seen fics where Artemis helps someone with amnesia...
I read this fic after I read Echer's Room. You recommended it to me when I asked questions about Darcia... It makes more sense now.
Once again, awesome job!
*loj* |
 Dim Aldebaran 2007-03-22 . chapter 3Oh, another perfect chapter. Gr, I love your writing. So graceful and full of juicy complexities. And I'd love you forever if you did continue on with this... there's so few chaptered angst-dramas out there, and certainly none of this caliber. *will probably end up nomming this for a pile more OAs by the end of the year*
Keep it up! |
 Dim Aldebaran 2007-03-14 . chapter 2Another beautiful chapter. :)
As far as concrit is concerned... I honestly don't have much. I personally like the pronoun use, but some (evidently) find it confusing. There's a few typos in here as well - "holder" for example. But neither of them are big issues in my mind. Let's see, though... hm.
The brief bit of dialogue with Darcia doesn't fit right either, in my mind. It remains very dry to me, despite obviously having some sort of emotional content. Maybe do a bit of descrip with that, and put it in italics?
And the bit of dialogue at the end - where the physician figures the height that she fell, where "the Empty One" (good descrip) says how she reduced her fall... it feels very mechanical. Too mechanical. Maybe cut down on the dialogue in the first bit in the last section, since it really isn't necessary, and it distracts from the fic.
That's about all I can do for concrit. :P
Asides from that... Well, the writing was, again, gorgeous. Very emotional, very elegant. I really... can't put it very well. This is one of my fav fics on the site, certainly.
So... seeing that this new chapter was made in 2007, I'm off to nominate this for Best Angst again. Toodles! |
 Smidgie 2007-01-22 . chapter 1I do wish you wouldn't do yourself the dishonour of saying that something so beautiful as this is 'not good'. It is a blessing and a testament to your skill that something of such quality was achieved so easily for you. I loved the abstract nature of it, the contrast between the two characters, and the deep emphasis on the piano. Well done. |
 Harliq and Amsterdam 2007-01-05 . chapter 1abstract and beautiful. I never thought a piano could be described in such an exquisite, intricate way. |
 Dim Aldebaran 2007-01-02 . chapter 1No real concrit, to be honest. I thought this sort of writing was dead around here. It's... very beautiful. Usually I provide long a elaborate critiques on things but this... agh. Don't feel like it. Maybe pester me later if you want one. Suffice to say, this was breathtaking.
At any right, I'll try to be somewhat professional here. I'm going to nominate this fic in Best Short Fic and Best Angst at the Orion Awards.
The Orion Awards are a series of annual awards for outstanding AF fanfiction. As an individual, you can nominate your fav fics, and later vote in the People's Choice Awards - and of course, see how your own fic fares as the judging progresses. However, OA also runs a series of forums, where fandomers can discuss everything from writing techniques to their favorite characters. It's really a lovely forum; very friendly and such. We also publish a bimonthly fanzine, with excellent articles on writing and fandom news, as well as a classified section (where you can match up with a beta reader, for example) and even comics. And of course, the nominated fics represent the best in the fandom; reading them will surely help you grow as a writer, asides from providing some good entertainment.
And... well. Asides from all that advertising stuff, there's not enough writers like you around, and certainly not around OA. Strad's actually a judge there, though she had to withdraw from this year's, and several of her fics have been nominated as well. So... well. Do join. :) |
 midnightwaters 2006-12-31 . chapter 1it may be wierd, but i think it's fine! a bit confusing, but actually pretty good for just an hour and a half's work. i love how u decribed the piano and the songs ad stuff. |
