abuseThis was a good chapter, I like the contrast between Steve's present surroundings and Evie's. Vietnam fics are really interesting when done right and so far you've handled it very well. Nice job.

abuseOoh, great chapter; I really enjoyed this one (as I always do, but you know what I mean ;D).

The only couple things I noticed were that Army and Coke should be capitalized (unless you're talking about cocaine, in which case it wouldn't, but I'm pretty sure you meant the drink). I don't know about the militaries in other countries, but here in the U.S. all branches are capitalized. Those were just minor things though, I just thought I'd point it out. :)

Your characterization is great and you handle the topic of Vietnam very well. I see so many people on here post stories that involve Vietnam and they just butcher it or turn it into a joke; I think you're one of the few authors here that does completely the opposite. :)

Also, this line: "There was nothing like getting drafted to make a guy consider his own mortality." LOVED IT.

Great job, I can't wait for an update. :)

Peace,

abuseSpiffy Vietnam fic. :) I like your description of Evie's conflicted emotions and Two-Bit's use of humor to cover his uneasiness about the changing situation. :)

abuseI'm interested to see where you'll take this. I like the more indepth Steve/Evie. We don't see enough of them.

abuseI thought this was an excellent chapter. I loved the way you included three different points of view, and you did it very well -- most authors here try that and fail because they don't realize how confusing they make it.

I noticed in the third to last paragraph when you started talking about the changes, it went back to the sentence preceding that paragraph and then you repeated the beginning of it in the next paragraph. (Sorry if I made that confusing, lol; I just thought I'd point that out.)

But otherwise it was great. I really enjoyed it. :)

abuseSo I read this several days ago, but was unable to review.

I really liked your portrayal of Steve and Evie. GREAT first line. Having them doing something so mundane while discussing something so important made it that much more realistic, and the dialogue was great. Nice touch with the brother, too, and Steve's reaction to him.

I also thought the scene with Two-Bit was well played out - Two-Bit trying to lighten the mood, and then how the conversation turns serious. Again, nice work with the dialogue, and just enough description to give us a picture of what's going on.

abuseI'm really enjoying this so far. Vietnam is such a huge interest of mine that I'm usually quick to read anything involving it, so I'm glad I clicked this, lol. :)

I love the way you write everybody; your characterization is really fantastic. And I love the dialogue, and the details. And btw, For What it's Worth is a great title -- it does fit. And I love Buffalo Springfield, they are just awesome. ^_^

Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading more! :)

Peace,

abuseI really like this story, you're a good writer. The Vietnam thing of course has been done before, but this one seems unique. So depressing, though! haha, well keep it up!

abuseThis is really good! Such good characterization for everyone. I like how made war a reason for Steve's dad being a jerk, and how Steve would feel like a coward if he didn't go. It's a cool different perspective. I like this a lot; you're a good writer. Keep it up!

abuseI like this a lot- it's well written
and I feel like it's really happening.

But there's just one part i cant see him saying:
“Indeed it is. Evie hon, what did those potatoes ever do to you?”

I just can't picture Steve saying "indeed it is",
no matter how hard I try to see him saying it.. I can't.

It was really good though,
and I'm looking forward to reading more :)

Update Soon!
