This is so deeply moving I'm actually sniffling a little. And I don't cry that easily. That means you're very good. (no sarcasm, no sarcasm, no sarcasm, if it sounded that way)^^

-tears up- so sad! really beautiful

omg wow... that was AWSOME.

I like the idea of it as a play... Your writing in this piece is really good--I like the adjectives. --Silver

First off, I believe this was a nice spin off of Shakespeare's famous line. (At least, I imagine that's where you pulled this from.) It is a nice interpretation, and the assessment of the players actually being actors--that is, literally acting in their lives--was a smart move. I think the choice of writing this fic in the second person was also particularly effective. It made it seem a bit more personal, if not self-criticizing.

The overall style for the writing was very...enigmatic. You were sparse with your words and descriptions, but I find that just helped emphasize the inner turmoil and the paradox of Roxas' and Axel's relationship. Your prose flows like poetry; it felt like you went a for sensation rather than...laying it out in front of us. And I think this really worked out very well.

Amazing job. You have restored my faith in . Hope to see more from you!

This is fantastic. I love the set up of it in acts and just...wow. I usually like happy fluffy stuff but this is wonderful. Great piece!

I usually dislke second-person POV's, and oneshots for that matter. Yet, your story is one of the few I like very much. It's written wonderfully. In a way that's desciptive yet leaves much to be thought on, which only adds to the power of it. And your story really does have a power. I can almost guarantee that any person who reads this will have to reread it at least once,not because they don't understand, but because they simply can't get enough. Amazing, inspiring, thoughtful, talented. Great job.
-A.T.S.

oh this is just such a sad story... but i like it because i like depressing things because they make me think and i like to think and be depressed and i'm sorta tired right now so sorry for the whole run on sentence thing and no caps because i am tired and lazy and anyway good job...?

this was beautiful. i like it lots.

This is several shades of awesome :)

I really love the concept of the Nobodies just being actors. It suits them so well because that's all they're really doing when you get down to it. The division of sections by using "Acts" is brilliant too.

I want to pick a favorite act...but it's hard! I think it might be Act I or maybe Act 1..I don't know! They're all too good! I really love that they're short and sweet, but get a powerful meaning across.

Each italic quote at the beginning is a nice touch; it sets the stage (unintended pun, lol) for the rest of the secton.

I do quite love the comparsion between the castle being the canvas, and Roxas is a unwanted stain. It makes me think of Namine and how she's the artist who put everything together, and how she told Roxas he wasn't meant to exist anyway--much like the stain.

I'm attempting to give a well-rounded critique here...but I honestly can't find anything wrong!

Oh yes, and I also like how Axel and Roxas can't work without each other. Once Axel was gone, it was like the audience decided Roxas wasn't a good enough actor on his own, so he was put out of work. Very nice. But sad :(

Definitely a favorite :) I'll have to read more of your stuff!

Ooh.
I was starting to lose my faith that there was still really good AkuRoku being written. xD;
I like the originality.
Time to favorite!
:D
