The descriptions need to be longer, but are otherwise good. I'd like to see more chapters in the future, because I think you have talent.

I want to see more Heather in distress as the world crumbles around her.

I really wish you'd continue with this because it really is fantastic. Heather has always been my favorite Silent Hill protagonist and you handle her like a master. I've read some parts wishing my Silent Hill 2 job was as good.

We dearest fans of your fic would like love to see the next chapter of your engaging novelization of Silent Hill 3. Please don't let it become a dead fic. The world would be poorer for it.

Do you not plan on continuing this? That's saddening. :(

I think that the way you wrote this was genius; the flaws are minimal (so minimal that I cannot even find them, I get so wrapped up in reading). I hope that you continue to write on this story; Silent Hill 3 is a fan favorite and you're definitely becoming a saint among fans for writing this. :)

One word: Wow.

That's what I was left with when I first started reading this.

You took Heather's character and you did something great with it. This is one of the best introductions for a novelization I've read thus far. You've got Heather's "voice" down to a tee, which gives me hope that you'll definitely be able to keep her in character. The added story leading in to the first part of the game was also pretty clever as well.

I really enjoyed the way you went into Heather's flashback, even though it wasn't mentioned at all in the game. I never thought of the possibility that she had any episodes prior to the game--although it'd make some amount of sense for a girl like her were to be stuck in a hellish realm and not freak out. But either way, it really does add more onto the story.
I'm also happy that you added some Harry scenes as well, because as a novelization it gives the reader (and our look on Heather) a chance to know how her and her "father's" relationship was.

Hopefully you'll also go into when Heather and Harry were attacked by one of the cult members, and Harry was forced to kill them in an act of self-defense. That'd make an interesting flashback, one way or another, and I have no doubts that you'd be able to pull it off well. It would also explain Heather having a sense as well--such as why she doesn't trust strangers (other than the fact when they walk up to her in their boxers).

The use of Klonopin was a good call. Just looked it up on Wikipedia and found that it would be a good reason why Heather fell asleep in a café earlier in the game--some of its side effects are drowsiness...and also anterograde amnesia. Interesting.

Overall, I am loving this, and I'll definitely continue. I look forward to seeing how this turns out, and see it to the end.

Regards,
R. N.

Not the typical novelization and this is what plops you into my C2. Nice voice for Heather, one of the best I've come across in this section. I like also how you incorporated some new material; new flashbacks and memories that weren't in the game or even hinted at by the creators. This is what's missing in many stories here; most are canon rehashes, or OC's in rehashes, or rehashing the same storyline over and over again. Very rarely is something original brought in, but I wasn't disappointed with this tale.

As for any nitpicking...eh, I'm not really in the mood to crit. I did see some things, but nothing that dampened the overall effect.

Nice work :)

Excellent! This was a super exciting read, and I have to admit, adding in the fetch-quests would make the story really awkward, and throw off the flow of the plot. What works in videogames doesn't always translate well into the written word. Either way, I'm looking forward to the next piece. Thank you for writing this, I'm really enjoying it! X3

Yoy have got to complete this. No one has yet created a complete Silent Hill 3, I know I've looked around the internet. I have yet to find one. You've got talent. You could write a complete version, and it would be awesome.

WHOA! I just ran into this and... Damn. This is amazing. The detail is great. It's unlike anything I've read lately. Dude... Marry me? LOL! This is just... Phew I'm done. Continue this ASAP.

I think this blew my mind. This caused me to think of so many things in Silent Hill 3 that I would never have otherwise. Wonderful delving into Heather's warped psyche, and great description. I personally never liked Silent Hill 3 - until I saw this. Oh, and I like the Roman numerals instead of the standard numerics (can't remember, might be Arabic) keeping track of Chapter number. Oh, and the chapter names themselves I envy.
In short, I love this. Rock on. -EternalFlare

Poor Heather.
I'm not entirely sure what Happy Burger is but the name makes me hungry. And many yays for the Alice parallels, that story is almost as wonderfully trippy as this one.
