 Re 2008-01-21 . chapter 6 I read all 6 chapters in one go, and you definitely need to write more.
Don't ever stop writing, it's beautiful, it's inspiring... writing from people like you puts a little life back into my eyes, thank you.
I need to do some painting now.
Thank you. Don't be afraid to email. Re (*forgotten login* :S) |
 The Glass Slipper 2007-09-08 . chapter 6Hi babes,
Okay, this might not be the place to go into too much of this, but I want to tell you... It turns out that I have two of your older stories, and neither of them even compare to this fic. One of them I didn't get past the first chapter because the grammar was questionable, and the scenes were so short and choppy. Here, in "The Human Need", they're always well-developed, and the length is much more appropriate. I honestly wouldn't have thought the person writing those old fics could get to the point of writing something like this, but this story feels so natural that it seems like you've had it in you all along.
I hope that's not too harsh. I was just really struck by the change in quality. You've really improved so much! And, whatever, my old stuff is really, really terrible: grammar-wise, syntax-wise, plot-wise... So I'm not judging, just saying...
Anyway, the story... I love it. You've done a fantastic job developing all the characters and their stories. I'm especially anxious to find out what's going on with Cloud. You've built up that up well, which takes a lot of skill, treading that line between keeping them interested and being secretive almost to the point of alienation. You're not, though, so good job!
And even though the part with Axel had been well foreshadowed, it was still really shocking to read this latest chapter. The way Riku told the story was absolutely perfect. I don't know if many authors could have handled that moment so well. Sometimes Riku's actions may seem a little extreme, but if I've ever heard of a reason for such behaviour, it's got to be that. So very, very sad. D: He needs Cloud~~
AH. There was something else, but I've forgotten. Sorry. Hm, I like the POV, but that wasn't it... Maybe it'll come to me next time. Good luck with story, and all your writing! I can't wait to see where you'll be in a year, or even your next fic. This shows a lot of growth as another.
Oh, did you find a beta? I wouldn't mind, if you need one. I may miss a lot of my own mistakes, and there are probably a couple terrible typos in this review, but I mostly find other people's. Haha. It's so hard to edit your own work, because you know what it's supposed to say and fill that in. D: |
