Great work! You write really well. I am curious though, why do you use apostrophes instead of quotation marks? It's not a huge deal, just a little distracting.

I must admit, I am impressed...How creative and original... a pleasure to read.

Dude, that was wicked awesome! The best mystery fanfiction I've ever read. Although, if you ask me, not making it Arty/Holly isn't something to brag about...not to a reader who is addicted to Arty/Holly romance! They have that love-hate thing going that just makes it so fun to read and write. Anyway, great job!

A flying dryad's ass...Ah, I love you, Julius...

Yes! Thank god for you, Lli. I've spent the better part of the last hour trolling through fics and discarding reading urges as I went, but I was holding fast to the AU. Unfortunately, I think I've skimmed through enough Artemis Fowl high school and Hogwarts AUs for my entire life, thanks.

Then I remembered I hadn't checked your profile in AGES. Jackpot!

-cracks up laughing- This is great! I love it! FF should really allow for a thrid catagory. This one would need to be humor. -grins- As usual, a great story. Although, I AM one for the romance, so, while it was good w/o it, it would have been even better WITH it. -grin widens- This is a great story. Congrats on finishing it. A chapter a day. Nice. _

Okay, first are you in the Peace Corp? I'm amazed by how much you seem to travel. Anyway, I believe I'll start maniacally reading this fic since I'm starting to get freetime again and lately have become obsessed again with Film Noir styled stories so yay! Anyway, in this first chapter you do a good job of exposing the parts of what I assume to be the main puzzle, I can see where this is quite a break in style and tone too yet you handle it pretty well. I appreciate the random reference to dryads, as well as what I'm assuming is a reference to Norse legend with Freya's necklace. Ironically, in thanking your Beta you say 'need' instead of what I assume is meant to be 'needed' this made me chuckle a bit. Apart from that I see no other real errors and even then it was in a prologue anyway. I shall read the next portion soon and review as I go! Till next time!

omg omg omg omg i love it besty thing ever

are u going to tcontinue this?

I'll write this review to both author and editor, that I suppose the author deserves more credit.

Yay, another wonderful fic thanks to Lli and ilex-ferox! I love you guys, you're one of the last sources of good stories left in this fandom. Mystery is probably one of the more difficult genres to write in, but you've done an amazing job here- very Colfer-esque.

The choice to start an AU post-EC was a good one. That always seemed like a natural break in the series to me, and opens up so many possibilities.

Characterization was impeccable, and for a mystery requiring quite a bit of explanation, you didn't get dragged down in long monologues.

Great job, and I'll be looking forward to more from you!

Yay!

I'm normally skeptical of this sort of fanfic, but I did like it a lot.

I liked how you maintained the character you'd created for Lili, and you made the story pretty believable.

I should quit doubting when you try something new, because you've yet to disappoint.

Very nice story. I didn't follow half of it, but it was very well-written and in character and I really enjoyed reading the banter. Congrats on writing very little romance, and an adventure story. xD You're brave to go out of your usual genre.

Again, excellent characterizations. Thanks for writing this! :)

Haha, Lord Conan Doyle... Nice nod to Sherlock Holmes there. But why is Dr. Watson a woman? Anyways, nice story. I only half followed the plot, it was sort of confusing, but everyone was so well-written I didn't care. And I loved your characterization of Freya, the second she made that "ducky" comment I could see her perfectly. My favorite part was that final showdown, what with the "He's a family heirloom..." and "It's Short!" "Like her temper!" Just picturing Mulch's teasing while Holly was so furious made me laugh so hard...

Well done ]

Love it! As ever. I'm gonna miss my fix of your stories the next few months, but have a brill time!

Yay! That was a satisfying note to end on. Looking forward to new projects!

Cheers,

Yay! Resolution! Very nice. Will there be more crime-fighting Artemis and Holly? You seem to have set yourself up for that, at least.

Grub Kelp...sigh...you utter twit. I love him.
