 PhantomDaae1981 2009-08-10 . chapter 1I liked this a lot. I adored the way you characterized Judas.
I was wary when I realized you were going for the "Judas in Heaven" approach at the end, even though I completely agree with the reasoning behind it; but it usually seems to lessen the tragedy. However, when Judas mentions that it's actually a blending of Heaven and Hell, you really made the approach work in a way that is both rational and also not lessening the tragedy.
The only parts which felt awkward to me were bits of dialogue that were paraphrases of Jesus Christ Superstar. I don't blame you for that, though, because I've struggled with necessary paraphrases of dialogue in my own fanfiction. There's really no way around paraphrasing sometimes.
At any rate, I LOVED your story. It's the best JCS fanfic I've read in a very long time. |
