 Prinzessin 5/2/08 . chapter 1Good story, well written. Some grammar nitpicks, but they've already been mentioned. But I do have to agree with the author banter, it really isn't needed and does take away from the story. Am looking forward to more. |
 IndeMaat 4/25/08 . chapter 1Nice. The banter between the Torchwood characters was very good. Sounded just like them. Quite sexy too.
What I liked a lot less about this story is that it kept switching from past to present tense and back every time the paragraph's focus changed from a Torchwood character to Atton, and back. To a certain extent I can understand writing a scene in present tense when the rest of the story is in past tense (or vice versa) if that particular scene is set in a different time or a different location. But don't switch tenses the way a movie director would switch camera angles. Personally I don't care which, but a scene should be in either past tense or present tense throughout.
Another grammar gripe: don't use of as a substitute for have. 've may sound like of (as in: I could've learned better grammar), but that doesn't mean it can be replaced by it.
And one personal gripe: banter between the authors, characters and whoever this Dark is in the authors' notes is distracting from the story. I know I don't have to read it, but just seeing there is such sillyness at the top and bottom of the chapter takes a bit of the fun out of the story.
Good story, though, very entertaining. |
