 CalliopeMused 2009-06-04 . chapter 1I love your Raven in this! She's sarcastic, cynical, and occasionally bitter without letting the narration drag one bit. The image of Raven in a dress, being forced to go with The Thing, was well-done. (Thank you for not giving a montage on the dresses.) The DC references made me smile, Raven and Gar together had something that almost felt like them in the show (without the powers as reasons for insecurities/interpersonal interaction issues), and all of the scenes fit together into one story (that doesn't always happen with the flash-style pieces).
Great story! |
 TooLameToThinkOfAName 2009-05-12 . chapter 1I found this story incredibly humorous, from Raven's sarcasm to the actions of Gar ending up in Roy's tub (I honestly laughed out loud when I re-read that sentence.)
The realistic style you wrote this in was brilliant, and the references were on target perfectly-you don't see many stories where the author refers to "The Jokers Daughter", huh?
Overall, very well written.
Before when you were writing about the football game for the first time, I noticed that some of the first paragraph was deleted (or another form of technical difficulties.)
I enjoyed this story thoroughly, and I hope that you continue to write stories similar to this. |
 Lady Infamous 2009-02-02 . chapter 1This was by far the best Teen Titans fanfic I've read.
EVER. well...I think...I can't predict the future..
BUT IT WAS REALLY AWESOME.
I loved the references, and Wow, did you really get crowned homecoming princess?
I assume from yuor personality displayed in your writing and all other things, that you were most definitely not the joke princess. These things actually happen in life(I like to believe).
Great story though. |
 AlsoSprachOdin 2008-08-13 . chapter 1Not bad at all, writing was pretty solid, though the story is just not my kind of stuff (romance is way overdone genre),
Liked that you kept things realist (for good reasons, the authors-note informs); Garfield's imperfections, he and Raven doesn't quite hook up in the end, and the way idealism is averted by Raven only looking beautiful when she smiles falsely.
One important thing that could've really made this hard for me to read is Raven's OOC'ness, one of the most obvious instances of OOC is Raven making a rant. That's why it's such a good thing that the setting and characters are really mostly references to DC comics more than the actual characters. But that' all definitions and simply the way I choose to interpret it. Normally I abandon a fic if I read Raven doing something like blushing, because I'm just that tired of Raven getting broken.
I myself find the Raven that is only halfway human far more interesting than the high school archetype she is often reduced to; That smart girl with the antagonistic attitude, often with a troubled family life, hates all things popular and is a social outcast. The one here is more nuanced and balanced than usual.
I can emphasise with her abhorrence for those kinds of rituals and keeping up through-and-through false appearances, and I'd like to ask: If Raven had so much against being a princess, then why did she go along with it? Obviously because it's the premise of the story, but still. |
 cRaZyMaN676 2008-07-20 . chapter 1hmm... so, uh, do they get together? and, btw, its okay if you hate Terra a little. after everything she did in this story, I wouldn't blink if you'd freakin made her get in a fatal car crash. by herself, of course. oh, but I would have been a little 'what the...?' |
 MadeElly 2008-07-20 . chapter 1I just wanted to tell you how much I love this story. I love the way you place the breaks in the story, and I love the feel. It makes me feel all...I dunno, like I'm watching an indie movie or something. xD I think Rachel is a great narrator and everything, character wise, is perfect. I'd say "show and not tell" but that wouldn't work for this story, you know? Like, adding details would just take away from the whole thing and the raw emotion. Less is more. =]
So, yeah. Great job. |
 Juleskat101 2008-07-19 . chapter 1You lack a lot of details and the story goes by too fast. Focus on one moment more, and Star seems a little... out of character if you know what i mean... she needs to be more bubbly and a little more confusing... but otherwise the story was good. |
 Raven-the-black-rose 2008-07-18 . chapter 1And you falme my story?This was terrible.You should take this off fanfiction. |
 Jocelyn Torrent 2008-06-20 . chapter 1Wow, it's strange how much I relate to this story. I was elected homecoming queen this past year and I was pretty sure no one knew my name. And then the relationship between Gar and Raven was completely me and my friend. I don't know, it just kind of tripped me out but I digress. I really enjoyed this story and it was, of course, very realistic.

 samuraigurl1213 2008-03-15 . chapter 1Ah, so that's the weird names who I didn't know who was who. Regardless, I really enjoyed it.
I liked this piece, for several reasons (it was well written, humorous, etc. etc.) but mainly because it was different.
I liked the way you had lots of little snapshots of Homecoming time, because it was different and interesting.
And though it didn't really satisfy the romantic in me, I like how you didn't make Gar and Raven get together, because this was a realistic piece, it didn't seem all cliched and life works out perfectly, just that, there's a chance everything works out perfectly, but you're not going to let us in on it right now.
There was no definitive ending (i.e; the getting together) but that was OK, because, no segment of our life truly has any definitive ending.

 6StringSamurai13 2008-02-08 . chapter 1I'm not usually a fan of AU fics, but this was well done. Great job on writing Raven's internal dialog. Very good characterization. Keep up the good work! |
 Beautiful x lie 2007-12-31 . chapter 1This story was really good! I love the dry humor and the sarcasm that Raven gives, and the whole dick and Kory thing was a good subplot, it was the best oneshot i have ever read. It gave me the feeling that I was reading a full length story. Very good work and I can't wait to hear more from you!! |
 Moondragonheart 2007-11-13 . chapter 1^-^ I love the fic! |
 I Have A Bigger Dong 2007-10-29 . chapter 1 Raven as a homecoming princess? What the fuck have you been inhaling because it obviously did some permanent damage to your brain cells. |
 XxNightfirexX 2007-10-28 . chapter 1Wow. that's a lot of references. i haven't found one. Well, actually I have found them all, but didn't realize it. :D
Love the story!
