![]() ![]() ![]() I'm so thrilled that we got another chapter. It's a great story, and I'm glad to see that it's still on your radar. I really liked Q's conversation with Troi. As a counselor, she has a unique perspective that hits uncomfortably close to home for Q, which always reveals interesting truths from him. I also really enjoyed from their conversation the anecdote about how betazoid twins used to be treated due to their two-bodies-one-mind issue. It not only helped further Q's own plans to "escape death while dying," but was fascinating in itself. My only piece of constructive criticism for this otherwise perfect chapter, is that I felt Data's internal monologue went on for too long. While I liked getting his perspective, I felt that as the paragraphs went on, they started to repeat similar sentiments with slightly different wording. If you could condense his thoughts into fewer paragraphs that say the same thing (made a rational decision to risk his life that he does not regret, feels some form of guilt if he lets someone die without trying, finds Q's plan more reasonable than the Captain because of his different thought process), I feel that the reader would benefit from the faster pacing. Everything else, I loved! You're a talent writer with a very good grasp on the Star Trek universe. It's a delightful combo. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I've been wanting to review this, but I've found it difficult to find what to say, because it's like reviewing a Star Trek episode. If they'd decided to make Deja Q into a two-part episode, this should have been the second part because it fits so well and feels so much like an actual episode. Two things I want to comment on in particular: Selar reminding Q of Suzy Q is quite amusing, since they were played by the same actress. Nice little in-joke you slipped in there. And the Q with a small blue box who was always curious and bubbly - that must be a reference to Doctor Who. I always thought they were related… |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is a very well written, thoughtful, intelligent Q struggle with being mortal, human and the culture ,language and trying to communicate what is so drastically differentnfrom us Amazing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love you. Just... I love you. I can't even think of anything else to say except I love you and thank you. Thank you so much. I love you. -GM |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'd forgotten how awesome this story was. |
![]() ![]() Holy cow, an update! :-O I was just thinking about this story the other day, wondering how it would have ended. What a surprise to see a new chapter after a few years of hiatus! lol You just made my day. :-) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Poor boy. And poor AU-Doctor-ish-person, too |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is the best thing I've read in a long time and it hasn't been touched since 2009. First of all I'll be indignant and self-righteous for a little while. Now that that's over, imagine that I made some very good arguments, applied logic perfectly, used a great deal of flattery and persuasion, begged a little, and eventually managed to manipulate you into agreeing to finish this beautiful story. There. That saved a great deal of time, didn't it? I'm glad we've come to such a mutually beneficial agreement. -GM |
![]() ![]() ![]() Awesome Q story. I hope you write more soon! |
![]() ![]() Again, your writing skills surpass that of- no, I shall not lower my opinion of that author, but your writing skills do, at the very least, match those of her skill. |
![]() ![]() You seem to have thought this through extensively, and I know I could not have come up with all the facts or likely facts you have, I also would not have been able to portray the characters in the same expert manner as you do. |
![]() ![]() You are by far the best writer I have encountered, I have so many good things to say that I won't, for the simple reason that it would take me too long. |
![]() ![]() Poor Troy, hævińg tó dëåł with Q. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This needs a conclusion! U have this absolutely wonderful story with awesome ideas and Q. Q is just awesome, I think this is a really believable Q and it would be pity if u didn't at least have a short thing about his death. Hey u could even start at the death scene and then reveal the brilliant plot to save his life then. How could u dangle a string of hope for both Q and me as a reader and not right at least his death! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh nice. I wonder how exactly they're going to save Q. And the lack of sexual content actually makes me more comfortable, it reads very much like a TNG episode to me. |
