 Scarabbug 2009-11-06 . chapter 5It's been a while since I last saw something new posted here. I'm glad to see someone's still alive.
Spelling and grammar are good. Which is a nice change.
Do you know your beta, personally? Because it's a good idea to get betareaders whom you DON'T already know. They're less biased.
Good luck with your writing. |

Why do people love it so much? Maybe it's because we're Ace fans and we love reading a new story set in the fandom. Maybe we just want to see the answer to the eternal question: 'So what happened next?' Anyway, I *do* find your story worth reading. If you don't agree, maybe you could edit it, solicit more constructive criticism, or start a different Ace story, or rewrite it from a different point of view? No story and no author is perfect but I want to read more of your work. I hope this isn't too fandom-evangelistic of me, but if you want to show up at the messageboard or download episodes from the livejournal community, you'll be very welcome. (Also: nice dolls you linked from your profile!)
I think that the way you wrote the children as having different reactions to moving to Conestoga Hills was quite good. I also like the characterization in Zero's line about Pete's heartbreak. I suppose she's the character dating Pete? Saying she expects her boyfriend to be heartbroken at her departure shows an interesting aspect of character. I was also very happy when you described the job offer as Fiona's rather than Simon's; respecting Fiona's career is really lovely to see.
It's also rather realistic to see a character showing interest in working for the Carnival (much like Sam briefly did!). To briefly go into faultfinding, I'll point out that the Carnival didn't even open until a day or two after Mark moved in, so Raven probably couldn't have spent her money there, though getting a job is fine. Overall also, when you write, you could try to specify more things, eg. make it clear whether Raven or Zero is dating Pete, maybe add in a few more details. For example, instead of "I walked down our street...[and] a dog started following me", "I walked down the American street through a row of brown-painted houses that all looked identical to me. A small, weasel-like dog started yipping at me; I looked back to see disgusting lumps it had left behind on the pavement." But too much detail is just as bad as too little, so it's not at all a bad thing that your writing style is relatively sparse.
Anyway, sorry for the long review! Good luck for future writing. |
 ChristinaQ 2009-08-11 . chapter 3 Ahh, keep up the good work! Great way to leave us wanting further. I'd be well freaked out if I was Raven and knew what was in the series. |
 ChristinaQ 2009-08-09 . chapter 1 This story has potential, you should continue it. Please update soon, so I can read more! Quite a different view point. I can't wait to see where this goes... |
