 Her-My-Oh-Knee 2009-01-29 . chapter 37Okay, first I'm going to start with, this is a really entertaining story. You've got the characters down, and I'm really enjoying it.
Now I'll move on to the Constructive Critisism.
In chapter 16 (where I started writing this review), I saw a few things. First, a quarter of a million dollars? Richard and Emily are rich, but I seriously doubt that they are that rich. I think if they were they would already have that house on Martha's Vinyard that they are always talking about. Second, it seems like you repeated exactly the interaction between Jess and Rori, while adding in the description of the party. Not a major thing, and to the reader who reads one chapter at a time (unlike me, who can't put it down. Or at least, close it down), it wouldn't be noticed. But I did notice it.
In chapter 17, nothing jumped out at me, that was potentially problematic. Great chapter, short and sweet.
Chapter 18, however, I do/did some things. You mentioned that you dreading the speeches, and while they were well written, I think they were a little bit OoC. Rori's wasn't silly enough, and I think that Jess's...well, it just wasn't Jess. I can't really explain it.
In chapter 19, there wasn't really anything wrong. I do have a problem imagining April as a lesbian, but it doesn't really mean that it couldn't happen.
Chapter 21 and 22 were both great, very enjoyable. Good jobs with them!
In chapter 23, the only thing I noticed is that lorelai's pregnancy excitement seemed to last for only a minutes. I would imagine that they would be much happier.
Chapters 24-25 were also great. Good job!
And chapter 26 explained the whole April thing. Wonderful!
27-28 were wonderful. I enjoyed the whole sercrecy thing. That was pretty awesome.
In 29, however, I was surprised when Luke flat out asked April if she and Lily were having sex. I don't think that would happen, especailly from Luke.
For chapter 30, no, I don't hate you.
31 was great, again. I loved it.
32 made me almost cry. I feel so sad for Rori!
33-36 were also great.
And now, as I have just finished chapter 37, I am crying. It's hard for me to imagine all of my favorite characters dead, or dying. This was truly amazing story, and I'm thrilled that I found it. I have more to say, but I'll come back. Right now I am just happy to have read this story, and sad that it ended. Wonderful job with this story, and you should be proud. Please don't take any of my critisims badly. I want to give a well-rounded critique in all of the stories that I find, and especially the ones I enjoy.
Thank you for creating such a great story, I enjoyed a lot.
