 Reviewer 2009-01-10 . chapter 1 Oh My Gosh, This is HILARIOUS.
For a spur of the moment character Rika is unbelievably amazing. As a character she is still unbelievably amazing (but being a spur of the moment character puts her on a higher level). Rika despite being absolutely ridiculous is naturally understandable and easy to relate to. Her oblivious and bewilderment is so NOT uncalled for (the foam balls, the badges, and the size of the school [seriously if that is the size of a MIDDLE school {public no less!} the Universities must take up entire Continents, or are Fifty stories high]). She feels real and is a well made character with her own quirks, traits, highlights, and flaws. Her fear of shouting is well written, not only is it stated outright but her actions and thoughts (the sudden shift from Glasses, Pale Chick to Officer Fillmore and Officer Third). Characters with the habit of giving others weird nicknames has been used before, but never with such creatively. ("Stud Muffin had me giggling only because my parents would have grounded me if saw I was using the computer instead of doing homework, otherwise the neighbors wonder what's so funny). It was weird at first referring the canon characters by the new nicknames, but soon it felt natural (partly because they fit so well)
To satisfy your curiosity you NAILED all of the canon characters on the head. At least from what I can tell, besides O'Farrell, and Fillmore they didn't step on stage very often. It was more how their actions were in character and actualy affected by other actions. Most stories even ones on tvs and books just have character act and events happen to move a plot along. Yours happen in response to what happened in a logical domino affect ( Rika's psycho comment, everyone's reactions to the nicknames, [ from the strange looks, Fillmore's outbursts, Danny's surprise at being called by his real name, Anza's red face,], the list just goes on and on).
My suggestion *coughrequestcough* watch some Fillmore episodes (half your favorites the other half the ones you have trouble recalling) and give you Fillmore muse a energy bar and give this stories another chapter or one-shot. (hoping for Rika/O'Farrell pairing) If that doesn't work please give us readers some more Rika in another story. I don't care if it is in an unfamiliar fandom. (I am familiar with KH [die hard fan], Ouran High High School [just the thought of Rika in that make me grin], Class of 30 [not really interested but I know what it is], FusionFall [Like you I'm also addicted, {hey maybe we can play together some time, if your interested say so in your next update on Rika or on your profile and I'll send you a note on DeviantArt])
P.S. I think you and fanfic writer Umiyuri Papaeyra will get along seeing how your both yaoi fans, KH fans, fanfic writers, artists, and if you're anything like Rika the kind of person that leaves others dazed with amusement. Umiyuri Papaeyra is the resident artist of THE Interference: Legends the fandom of the Interference fanfics (yes that's right a fandom of a fanfic [a self-insert fanfic no less, not to mention it smoothly crosses over KH,FMA,CT, without it becoming a crossover fest/trainwreak] It's quite good [over 450 positive reviews to back that clam up]). Umiyuri is quite popular among the Interference fans. Rika reminded me of Umiyuri both leave a plastered grin on my face. You have done what she has, left me gasping for air in a fit of giggles and the sense of having been in the presence of the whirl-storm of an amazing person.
P.S.S if you read all of that, you amazing me (again!) for enduring that rant. |

May I just say that this fic is awesome, O'Farell IS underused (I think I spelt that wrong), and Rika is awesome!
And as for this fic being complete...no comment.
Also, if you DO decide to change the status of this fic (AKA adding more chapters...PLEASE), could you please tell us why Fillmore got really mad when Rika did the whole nickname thing, and maybe Rika could properly meet Ingrid. :) or :D or :( but I think your story is a :D, and that's not even classified...

P.S. Please don't kill me for asking my questions...I'm too young to die! |
