abuseYour story has me in tears. It's good to see how Rodney's death would make people react.

Please continue the story soon.

abuseGlad to know my criticism helped you, even in a small bit. The special thanks makes me happy, so thank you as well. This aside, the chapter was written beautifully and the reactions were well planned especially, I found, Sheppard’s. The last part was devastatingly lovely and the memories that continuously breached the surface of this were just so damn touching.

My favourite, of course, being Rodney and Jeannie in the backyard. I loved how the memory morphed into the establishing scene and shaped most of the chapter. The funeral in the next few chapters will probably make me cry, because anything about character death usually makes me cry, but nonetheless, I can’t wait for it or whatever else you have in mind.

This story is really getting off the ground now. It’s becoming well shaped, especially for the first few beginning chapters. I’m anxious yet excited to see where the ‘guardian’ prospect comes in and how and when Rodney faces it, if ever. It’s a good, suspenseful feeling and its one that every author hopes to entice in their readers.

You have written this marvellously well. The plot is strong and the characterisation is spot on. I do hope that it continues this way yet I doubt that I need to bother with hoping, as I don’t think the effort will change in the slightest. You seem pretty devoted to this and I’m sure that will stick.

See you soon,
Exangeline

abuseLike other reviewers of this chapter, I do agree that the internal thought patterns of each of the characters worked very well to furthur the plot. I am definitely enjoying this now, despite the grieving needed for Rodney's courageous death.

I agree that sometimes I wish Atlantis was mine, too, but I'd probably just ruin the show. Hah.

I think a point of critisism is to have, perhaps in the next chapter or so, a chapter where it really hits them. Past the denial, past the shock, past everything and when the truth hits them well and truely hard. Perhaps Jeannie could arrive on Atlantis for the funeral and they realise that he is, in fact, gone. You don't have to do it, but I think it would help with expressing the severity of the situation.

This aside, your talent is stunning. Suspence is welling inside of me for this story and I do hope you update soon. I hope my review wasn't too stupid or short or lacking in any way.

Keep up the good work.

See you soon,

abuseHmm. Very, VERY interesting so far. I like the characterisation and Rodney's breif thoughts about the need for his mother and the sacrifice of himself for his friends. He does seem to be getting braver.

Character death always tends to make me sad and I would, under normal circumstances, advise you to place it in later chapters of the story, but this certain plot seems to revolve around the fact of it happening straight off. So this aside, you seem to be a very developed writer.

I can't wait to see what else you do with this. You write very well and I do believe this story and your ideas have good potential. Keep it up, and update soon.

Write on,
Exangeline

abuseReally good so far; you've grabbed my attention. Your use of dialog and internal monologues to move the story forward is very good.
