 The Quaag 7/26/11 . chapter 3 I enjoyed your story 'Honeythief' very much, and this story is doing pretty well, too. I would LOVE it if you would update very soon, because I've been waiting for a new chapter. I'm looking foreward to where you'll go with this and am practically bouncing in anticipation!

 Delphina Valitrix 1/16/11 . chapter 3Goodness, has it really been this long since I promised to review? Wow, I feel awful. Why didn't you yell at me before?
There really isn't anything for me to nag you about on grammar, seeing as that's never much of a problem with your stories.
I am, however, a teeeensy bit irritated with the way Robin is acting. Seeing as I was a rabid fangirl of the show, probably would still be one if it were still on, and have seen every episode multiple times, I can understand why some people took the fourth season in a very Robin/Raven-shippy kind of way. Starfire always did kind of annoy me, come to think of it...
But anyway, while I can see that Robin would care for Raven to begin with, and that he would care for her even more so now that they're all "mated" and whatnot; I will NOT allow you to portray him as a controlling, manipulative, and misogynistic little whiner, which you may recognize in its purest form as the "Edward Cullen." (Wooow, that was a really long sentence.)
Fret not, dahling, for I am not accusing Robin of being a Cullen, merely that he is showing traits of Cullenitis (freaking out whenever another male LOOKS at Raven) and you might want to keep these in check before his skin starts sparkling.
I will admit that his over-protective tendencies will provide good conflict now that they're working with Rorek, but please, please, pleeease, don't overplay them. I've already nagged you in "Unreliable Narrator" how Malchior and Raven's bickering seemed a little overdone to me, not that I don't love that story, seeing as it is my adopted baby. (I suppose I can't poke you in the ribs about updating that since I myself haven't updated in around 3 months, can I? Hm. That's a shame.)
And now that that little spiel is done with, I am going to explode into a thousand pieces of nerdy happiness over the mere mention of magic British people in this story.
Did you hear that? I just exploded into a thousand pieces of nerdy happiness. I hope you're satisfied.
I am SO happy you put Rorek in here! Magic British people make everything better, which explains my slavish devotion to everything Harry Potter. Now take your magic British person and, to use the phrase you once told me, "run with it like a gazelle across the plains!" (Or was it the field...?) |
 Peace215 too lazy to sign in 1/5/11 . chapter 3 Holy man covers, this is incredible!
I LOVE how you put Rorek in this - I don't read much with him in it, but this blended so well that it didn't click that it was *that* Rorerk from the book; well supposedly anyway.
I cannot wait to see how he and Raven bond - and Robin's reaction. You write the absolute best jealousy scenes ever! Makes me smile to think so much has yet to happen and what could happen. i can't wait to read more!
Great job!
Peace |
