I am so eager to see the rest of this story. It makes me think of a pre-1984 type era. The connections are definitely there- with the no longer indifferent government drone starting to ask questions, a prole type part of the population, a desire for answers and life, and even the coral.

Oh, and I've only read through some of your stories so far, but I recognize Mr. Tigi from your story on Fiction Press. Do you plan on using him as a character with actual emotional and relational ties to the characters or will he be more of a plot propellor? Or will I just have to wait and see?

I can't wait to see the full connection between the characters in the story. I really enjoyed Riku's fairy tale bit. That was well done. This story is promising so much in the chapters yet to come, and I trust you to make it worth the ride. I look forward to reading more.

this story is nothing short of amazing. the writing is stunning and I can't wait to read more =]

This.Is.ol!

Amazing first chapter X3 Lawlz, I love the carnivorous hamster XD.

Man, I can not get over how much I love your writing style!!

Let me just say, I hate sweetness. Hate it. Cuddly-What-Ever does not float my boat, but instead sinks it Titanic-Style. What I like, what I /need/ is vicious. Your writing is so deliciously sour, biting, callous (you know, like vinegar chips or a war-head sucker?) that is it /perfect/. And interesting and vivid and creative. Like a dead butterfly or a rotting pumpkin.

You brush smoozes of romance without making me hurl chunks, you suck me into your plots, and not only is the content of your stories super fab but so is the writing style and technique that goes into it. A lot of other FF.writers use their "technique" as a cord-mesh hammock for their fat flabby little novelettes to lean on and ooze through/cut into. So that the stories are left with bad suburban sunburns and little diamond shaped imprints all over their "bodies" (of text). But the plots that you create could stand alone, and the word-crafting only adds more flavor. (There are no burns in your neighborhood, only golden brown tans.)

This review not only bursts the reserve of ill for "Killing Giants", but the rest of your sick collection. (Too lazy to go praise them all, so I'm cramming all the love into a single synopsis.)

(/Although/ the only precious moment you almost fell into was the Marigold One, with the "orange juice and apples crap". Axel and Roxas were so due for another lightning strike. Still totally my fave story anyway.)

ROCK ON! BOOM! BOOM! POW!

Very good chapter. I actually printed this chapter out the night before I traveled by car to Massachusetts so I could read it then. However, after I printed it out, I couldn't resist using it as a bedtime story. So in the car, there was the unfortunate surprise of "Crap! Only three pages left." :P

You have me hooked. Thank Heaven that Riku seems to be getting a brain. XD Olette's part in this is a compelling subplot (or not a subplot? Now it seems that she's just helping the main plot to develop). I'm very curious to hear about Kairi--she seems like an enigma wrapped in a mirage. That will be so much fun to sort out. XD

Now onto the next chapter.
Expecting more great things! Lovely chapter, great work!

Your style is interesting. Riku's psychological meandering is frustrating, but I'll keep reading. You have no idea how much I love the thought of Sora, perky thing, saluting animatedly to a man in an office window from atop a tall building.

And, as the reader, I don't yet quite understand what has Riku's knickers in a knot. Things don't seem so complicated from here - he has his first (?) job where he has to write essays. He has to think in such a way that forces his brain to think in such a way that it twists itself inside-out. He's alone, he has no friends, he has no life, and a hamster that hates him.

Logical solution: let Sora be the housekeeper and wife. :P

The bit about "meant to be" was amusing. :3 Especially since it's been so many years since they last saw each other.

I don't know if I've ever reviewed this before, and if I haven't, I'm sorry.

I can't begin to say how happy I am that this story is still out there, on the internet, and that it probably has more chapters than when I last checked.

Unlike any other fanfic I've ever read - except maybe Suburbia, which made me bawl - this has stayed with me. "They're building a wall", I think it was? I've never forgotten that.

As soon as I can, I'm going to read and re-read this. Thank you.

No, YOU are ** awesome! I thought your humor fics were fantastic, but this ** is pure ** genious.
YOU ARE A LITERARY GOD.

*hands you a slab of chocolate cake*
I'll review more later when I've properly read the thing.
Neat idea.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful, funny, memorable, imaginative and thoughtful stories I have ever read (not just including fanfiction) and one of my most favourite. You write so fluidly, and everything you describe about this alternate universe in which Sora and Riku exist in comes to my mind so perfectly.

I have been waiting for AGES for you to write the next chapter, and I hope this (hopefull not boring) review encourages you to do so. ASJKLDHASLKJF';L THIS STORY IS SO AWESOMEMLY AWESOME! Even if you don't think it is, because It! Is! So! Freaking! Awesome! That! I! Must! Punctuate! Every! Word! With! An! Exclamation! Mark! I love that it is different from any other story on this site. You are a very talented writer!

This story and its concept make me think about so much of the world we live in, and the characters in the story are written with so much individuality. :) JUST PLEASE WRITE MORE!! D= I COMMAND YOU. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS STORY! :3

Please, please, please continue this. I cannot tell you what this has meant. I printed out a copy because my personal computer is broken, and it is SO marked up with underlines and hearts and comments that my friend could hardly read it.

I love love love Riku's little story. Did you make it up?

Oh, I Really Love Your Stories. But I Couldn't Help But To Notice You Haven't Updated Anything In Months And It Makes Me Sad. You Write Really Well. And I Very Much Enjoyed This Story Even Though It Has Yet To Be Completed. Hopefully You Get Back To Writing.

This has to be one of the most beautiful stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
I do hope you plan to continue it.
Thank you for writing.

...Wow. Just Plain Wow. I loved how you made Riku's idea turn against him, and also explain the fault of curiosity. It's a bit odd to try and take in all this information at once, but that's what makes it interesting!

"The wall is not a means of defense, but a means of distraction, and its usefulness will truly prove itself when it comes crashing to the ground."

I just love that sentence, although I'm not really sure what it means. A means of distraction as to distract the party on the other side, or the ones in it from the destruction to come. And the usefulness proving itself when it falls down? To the horror of the people inside?

The meaning to that sentence is like a two-edged weapon to me, which just makes me all the more excited ^^ I hope to see your next chapter!

-The New Reader >=3

i am speechless at your brilliance. seriously, this is one of the greatest stories, and you are one of the greatest writers. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this so far. Put me out of the misery of waiting and update!
