| Fayeana 2008-04-04 ch 11, | abuseThank you very much for the review again! Upon reading your comment, I realised that you were completely right. So, I decided to resolve this in another chapter that will be dedicated to the firt movie's trio. I already have a pretty good idea of how I will explain her behavior, but I won't get into details over here :P |
| Cinoman 2008-04-04 ch 11, anon. | abuseHey er yes it was a long while since I did a review, but what the hell :P I must say that I recognize the characters from the movie... except Hanna. Well, she seemed a little bit too excited compared of her way of acting in the movie... but of course, it's after all this and she is happy, but her father is dead too... but seriously, that's a opinion. But, on the bright side, everything is very well written and it fits very much from the initial movie. I sense the continuity in their behavior and what is happening. Same thing for the dialogues that are short but efficient ;) |
| Cinoman 2008-03-24 ch 10, anon. | abuseWell, hello again, I just wanted to be update and make a little review of chapter 9 and 10! I can say that there is a build up and we can sense it, which is good: the two main characters are there, alive and we see a part of their personnalities, which is a good start. I myself has a lot of trouble trying to make my characters very attaching, but even if it can be difficult, it is a very interesting challenge. For now, I think everything builds up smoothly. I still have a lot of trouble with the "time traveling" through the story, but the fans of the movies will be able to catch everything. I'm very curious about what's next: keep going! :) |
| Cinoman 2008-03-10 ch 8, anon. | abuseWell, it is precise enough and very clear on what's happening. Again, it is very well written and sufficient. It is a fast explaination, but it is like the virus :P The explaination you want to communicate is all here :) |
| Cinoman 2008-03-10 ch 7, anon. | abuseHere I am :) Well, I have a few points in mind... Again, maybe I didn't saw some details, so fell free to tell me :) First, I must say that if you didn't tell me what the chapter was about, I wouldn't exactly know where it is in the time line (you know at the end of the chapter, but at the beginning, it is confusing: it lacks some links here and there to point out that it is a time jump in the past). Second, in the chapter, there is 3rd and 1st person at the same time, which is a little confusing to identify completly with the characters. I think that most of the time, once you choose a 1st or 3rd person narrative, you stick with it all the way in a chapter or part in the text, but maybe it's just me... com ing with the review of chapter 8 |
| Cinoman 2008-02-29 ch 6, anon. | abuse(I'm doing a review for chapter 5 and 6) For a second, you got me there with the dream: a hint that your writing got me somewhere :) I think you understood how to take a basic element like the dream to make it interesting, even if it's not a ''real'' part of the story. The atmosphere is being establish here and there. You're going slowly but surely to your objectives and at the right rate I think. Because the genre is made of a lot of common patterns however, if you do little twists here and there, it will become even more interesting. I think that a common genre can be taken and twisted in a way where it can become original by itself: I must admit, I have hopes with your story :) Way to go! By the way, that character is so you ;) |
| Fayeana 2008-02-21 ch 4, | abuseThank you so much for taking the time to read and review :) To explain a bit on the first 3 chapters, what I ultimatly tried to do is sum up what happened in the 28 weeks later movie after the infection broke out once again. I did not want to linger on details too much because I did not want to write the movie all over again :) I might eventually put a bit more details if I see it becomes necessary, but the dark mood and characters will be much more detailed and elaborated in future chapters. Thank you once again! |
| Cinoman 2008-02-21 ch 4, anon. | abuseWell, my best friend is writing in public and I must say...it was time you did it ;) But, I'll say my review in a very objective way, and contructive too, of course. First, you write very well in english, it can be read smoothly. The introduction, compared to the very first part of the story with Emilie, should be, in my opinion, a lot more atmospheric: I think that even if establishing an atmosphere and dark mood takes pages ,in the end, it creates an emotion in words that can be felt without any visuals, just the imagination's. And I think that your Prologue has a lot of potential, but it goes too fast in the action without making me feel all the desolation of the situation and, even with the gore part that is well described, it lacks of the bad mood that can be felt from this world becoming infected. Maybe I'm wrong, but in horror writing, like in movies, establishing the prologue in a moody way can make you see yourself where it's going and even recreate the mood from the movie in your own vision. There's nothing scary like a bad mood after seeing or reading an horror story, the atmosphere is the main core and yes, in a written story, it's hard to establish. Maybe it's because when I write I take too much time ;) but I feel this way about horror stories. But, despite all that, the potential is there and I can't wait to see what you will bring to the story. I'm sure you know it already, but take some time to let us know Emilie and her boyfriend, so we can attach to them... and feel their pain if something happen o_O I hope my review was constructive :) |
