| D.G.Arrow 2007-05-17 ch 1, | abuseThat was brilliant! I love HK-47! You captured his personality very well. You just gotta love that homocidal droid! Would love to see more tales of his exploits, there just aren't enough good stories about HK. |
| Auros Sopherai 2007-03-30 ch 1, | abuseWhat a very fun read! Man, I never fully imagined how cruel HK would have been in his environment, but it fits really well. I loved the action and your exciting pace. And I never imagine how long 120 kilometers is! On Earth, I believe, you can't even see beyond about 30 miles because of the curvature. That was one heck of a shot! |
| PadawanMage 2007-02-03 ch 1, | abuseWith almost every other HK fic I've read, the humor outweighs the killing the droid commits. This fic, however, there's almost no humor to speak of and the assasin droid truly shows us what exactly he is and what he's capable of. Good job! |
| Kendoka Girl 2007-02-01 ch 1, | abuseSorry it took me so long to come out of hiding. I've been busy with school. That was a great combination of humor, drama, and action and you melded those themes together very well. My only comment is techical and it looks like that idea was already addressed. Great story telling. :) |
| Trillian4210 2007-01-27 ch 1, | abuseNicely done!! I am really impressed at how well you handled this request. (and jealous too) ;) The violence was well-written and non-repetitive which might seem hard to do when you've got so many meatbags being exterminated, one after the other. But you handled each one well and vividly. And I love how this exchange started the whole thing: "Had HK had lips, he would have smiled a very predatory smile. But instead he simply met Dennik’s glare and said, “Answer: Why, it all begins with your death, of course.” There was a moment of shocked stillness, in which the assassination droid activated his built-in energy shield. “Scrap him,” Jak Dennik ordered abruptly, and then the office erupted in chaos." NICE! I think you nailed HK's mannerisms as well. I loved this line: “Criticism: It would seem to me, meatbag, that if you were imprudent enough to assault an assassination droid, it would be wisest to ensure your first shot struck some vital component. Say, for example, my central chassis. Or, perhaps, my behavioral core.” lol! Really great. Although I must say that the Bao-Dur lover in me is greatly distressed and opposed to the blatant and gratutitous Zabrak violence rendered in this fic and I ask that you kindly abstain from such species choice in the future. Thank you. ;) Excellent writing, my dear. Truly. |
| Inconspicuous Acuity 2007-01-25 ch 1, | abuseFirst of all, I must congratulate you on writing such a great fic. I'll even confess that, the first time I saw the request, my thoughts were: "Quite difficult to find a proper plotline for such a story". You've done a wonderful job on that. Secondly, you portray HK-47 way better than I would ever manage with a hundred years of practice. It was enjoyable to se how he perceives what we would see as color and other such visual details as mere statistics. As for his spoken lines, they were simply brilliant. There's one issue I have, but it isn't your fault. It belongs to the producers of KotOR 2, and to that quote you used for inspiration. A shot on a 120 kilometers distance? On the one hand, planets are geoids, which means any spot on their surface has a certain inclination if related to another. Sleheryon would have to be huge for such a remote location to still remain in sight. On the other hand, any projectile (or laser beam) would have completely lost its intensity/speed ages ago... say, after the second or third kilometer. Finally, I've found some minor typos which you may want to fix: "it’s domination by those" - that should be 'its', the possessive pronoun, not the short form of 'it is'. "Bodies lie everywhere" - everything else is in past tense, so I'm assuming the correct verbal form would have been 'lay'. Before I get any more thorough than this... I'll just add the story to my favorites. Excellent job. ;) |
| faelyn leaf 2007-01-22 ch 1, | abuseI adore HK, and I think this is the very best fic I've read about him. Seriously, this was brilliant! |
| Bald as Malak 2007-01-20 ch 1, | abuseWell, it certainly was a kill-fest! Rendered in a nice style that seems to fit HK. Nice bits of action overall, with some appropriate amounts of gore, arrogance, and derision. The 120 km shot is problematic, unless Sleheyron is a very big planet. On Earth, because of its curvature, we can see 20-30 km away. After that, what is there can not be seen because it's literally around the corner (below the horizon). Just a nitpick. Overall, an enjoyable read. BaM |
| Albur Lily 2007-01-20 ch 1, | abuseOh wow. Just wow. Now, HK-47, delightful as he is, isn't one of those characters I was ever likely to think about much. You've changed my mind completely on this one. I loved it. Everything HK said fitted well with what I've heard him say. The imagery, detail and discourse regarding weapons and the process of assasination was so utterly thrilling I was bouncing quite happily up and down in my seat. I'm so totally fav'ing this. As a whole, I think this works just fine, and I'm not sure it needs any more chapters adding to it, since your ending just rounds it off perfectly. Of course, if you're going to add more chapters I certainly won't complain! LOVE...FUH! |
