Queen Ceilidh 9/14/12 . chapter 5I like your story and can't wait to see what happens when Septimus and Cecilia are found out. Is your story following the movie more or the book more? I have watched the movie and am just starting to read the book. You are an awesome writer! |
Stellrina 9/20/11 . chapter 5Oh, please finish it! It's a wonderful story! 3 |
Wolf of the Badass TARDIS 7/4/11 . chapter 5I love this so far and it's a beautiful. I love his deep thinking and the facts are so accurate and on the dot. This story is special to me and many other readers and I think you need more chapters. Pleaaase continue to write more and I have subscribed and am on alert for more chapters. Thanks for writing and keep up the good work! |
Elenafromthewoods 5/31/11 . chapter 5Hah, no problem, I know how much a review is worth. :) Only happy to provide. Truth to be told, I was also meant to be writing this ginormous essay - instead I wrote a huge review. I guess at least you gain from me not knowing priorities, haha :p First, congratulations on my update, I couldn't believe I got a chapter the day AFTER my review, on a story that has been dormant for years.(sounds like a volcano) GREAT JOB GIRL! Good chapter besides that, I liked the interaction between Una and Septimus, and the ocean part was quite lovely. Of course I'm looking forward to Septimus providing private swimming lessons from now on. *cough cough* One typo that I noticed was 'brother's ' where it should be 'brothers' . get me? Nothing big, just noticed it because I always do that too. Another tip is to read over your sentences and make sure you don't use the same word too often, it gives a lot of diversity if you can use different words. Stable for example could be building. I'm thinking - if we're going to discuss ideas we might do well in getting each other's emails. I'm gonna PM you mine ;) Have a great day! /Elena |

Guest 5/30/11 . chapter 5 Love this! Can't wait to hear what the King and the Princes have to say(: |
Elenafromthewoods 5/29/11 . chapter 4Hi there! I read your plea for reviews, and I must say, I am quite devastated that an author like you does not get more feedback, whilst stories not even worth a tenth of this one are flooded with reviews. This is why I'm gonna honor you with a long, juicy review, which hopefully will inspire you to continue writing! It is a shame would it not be continued, on the other hand, I know how hard it is, considering life and the occasional writers block. Anyway, I really like the concept of this story. You didn't go with the whole 'septimus survived he is the new king' thing, but actually chose something realistic. It is also brave to make this a tragedy, as we all know this won't be a typical fairytale ending. Nothing better than a tragic love story. Now to your OC. It is very easy in this case to create a Mary-Sue character, as I've seen in many other Septimus-OC fics, but you have managed quite well. Although Cecilia is a liiiittle MS, your realistic and careful characterization of her makes up for it. But you might want to be careful with her background. Don't make her the true princess of Stormhold, lost at birth, with powers that no one has ever seen.. bla bla. Her charm is that she is just a peasant girl. Also, I really admire how well you manage to paint her blindness. I know, it's extremely hard, but you do good. The only thing I found a little weird is how she apparently can dodge any of Petitas blows. That's just... 'riight?' It would be more realistic would she actually be unable to defend herself. Just saying. I really like how the plot develops so far, and I hope to see some good conflict showing up, not just Septimus family bitching about his choice of love, but something.. well, you'll come up with something awesome I know. The festival was a great idea. Considering the relationship between them, I'd say you're still good, but might want to be a little careful now. Give them some doubt, something(as in all relationships) that makes them seriously question if this is gonna work. That will make it more realistic and add more dimension I think. Also, one thought I had was that it would be very interesting if they would actually sleep together, seen from Cecilia's perspective. This is only if you want to take it to that rating of course, but it could be worked out very nicely. Well, I hope this was constructive critique and not just me ranting about... But in short, you are having some good stuff going here, don't drop it! I'll be checking on this regularly ;) Have a nice day! /Elena |
ehluvr3 4/23/11 . chapter 1I just re-watche Stardust and decided to look up Septimus stories... and I gotta admit: Yours is amazing! I hope you continue it! |
Deathcomessoon 2/27/11 . chapter 4I have seen the movie a million times, and had always though Septimus was good looking. So I decided to read this not to mention it had a wonderful summery. I'm not sure if you play to continue this story, but I personally would love to read more :) Update soon please. |
AnnieArkham 8/15/10 . chapter 4I like this story :3 Please add more to it. *subscribes* |
music4evah 5/28/10 . chapter 4I must say, this is entertaining. You've had a few typos along the way, but...I'm enjoying it. At first, I do believe that Septimus is being OOC, but...I suppose it could be worse. |
MobMotherScitah 3/14/10 . chapter 4Okay. I lied in the last review of your HP story... I couldn't help it. I don't run across stories like these all the time, so I peaks to see if it was worth waiting on and look, I'm reviewing, which bodes well. Keep writing. I love it. |
Starsurfer 3/13/10 . chapter 1 Hey, I know that you haven't written on this for like a year, but I really really REALLY like it and want to find out what happens! Please please please write/post more. I also think that you did an amazing job at making Cecilia seem blind. You have an amazing writing style and did an awesome job at keeping Septimus in character while at the same time shaping it a bit more. Like I already said, I really like this story a super whole bunch and would love to read more even though it's like a year old... PLEASE! :) |
SelenesLegacy 1/7/10 . chapter 4Please update this! The story is lovely, and Prince Septimus deserve a lovestory :D |
