I definitely like it. Recently, I've been a little fed up with all those silly stories, that I don't read more than 1 chapter. Good that at least you still write.

L M A O !!

You're *usually* alright in the head? Huh, I'm disappointed, I was starting to feel like I was talking to an equal, but if you're "usually" sane, then I guess we're very different. (Heehee... that was a joke, you curious people reading this review— I'm not *very* crazy.)

Anyway... I enjoyed this story a lot. I can just picture young Arty getting mad and frustrated at the sheet of paper... lol! He definitely is not normal... at all.

So yeah, it was very good =) You really are becoming a better writer, Holly. Congratulations!

Oh wow, this was really well-written.
I enjoyed it a lot. Your characterisation was extremely accurate.
And everything was just very Artemis. Good stuff ^_^
Yay!

Wow. I usually don't read quality stuff like this on and this really deserves an Orion award. It's planned out, it's a steady dose of characterization, and it's... perfect.

Nice. This is a very good way to emphasize his need for perfection, his need to excel. It emphasizes that he's a child genius, too. In less that 400 words, you managed to sum up Artemis in a way that would have someone who has never read the books feeling like they have know Arty his whole life, and thaat's hard to do. Congrats!

That was... odd. But it was really well written, and once again, you rock at drabbles!!

Very interesting, my dear. I liked how clear this snapshot of Artemis' childhood was. A little bit flowery with the descriptions, but I think it worked for this fic. "An accurate dissection of the ivory sheet." What a beautiful line.

I love how Arty is pleasantly OCD, but too young to think of this as a problem, so there's none of the angst. Insanity runs in the family, maybe? Great concept, anyway.

Now for some concrit. I thought some sentences felt out of place. "This was a rather strange sight. Why? Because it was normal." "However, as some may know, Artemis Fowl was not normal, nor will he ever be." They are stated too plainly, or were too obvious, or something, and they definitely don't fit in with the rest of the wonderfully phrased sentences in the rest of this fic.

Something you might want to consider is tying it in with something or things that older!Arty does in canon. Show, or even just imply, the effects. Give a new perspective on canon events we thought we understood. Maybe show how/why he has changed from the young boy who drew the line. Of course, I've got no idea how to do this (probably because I haven't read any of the books in ages). It's simply a friendly suggestion, because I've been intrigued by this fic. =)

Sincerely,
FH (which stands for Fairy Hotter, as in Fairy Hotter and the Deathly Onions, the seventh and final recently released book in the Fairy Hotter series)

Aww that was cute... in an angsty kind of way. Arty likes lines. I'll remember to give him an art set for his b-day. (Wink) The new chapter on my fac is out. No one is reading (frown).
