Desiree1717 chapter 5 . 11/10/2011 I love your fight scenes. Having the characters make mistakes makes it so much more believable. Keep up the good work! |
steelneena chapter 5 . 11/1/2011 This is the best post legacy fic that I have ever read - the focus that I'm sure you will be paying to Tron lends a great deal to that - please, I hope that you update! |
Lomelindi chapter 5 . 10/8/2011 Oh god, what enjoyable, hilarious, and yet extremely well-written insanity! I did wonder what happened if Tron or CLU ended up in the real world, but I never considered what it'd be like together. XD I love your characterization of all the characters -Quorra's adorable curiosity, CLU being a jackass as usual, Alan's complete confusion and his scary-godfather-mode, Kevin amazed at how old he is and missing coffee, and Sam just being silly and lovable. I seriously can't gush over this story enough. I totally understand if RL is an issue though, because I've gone through that many times and I never appreciated being yelled at by reviewers to update more either. *hug* Take care! Thanks for sharing this awesome, awesome story with the rest ofu s! |
DefectIllusions chapter 5 . 10/6/2011 Wonderful more please! |
FloatingPizza chapter 5 . 8/24/2011 Really really liking this! Best TRON fic I've seen so far! You've got an awesome style and a knack for writing really detailed, vivid action without cutting down the pace any! Faving! |
Prototron MJ Tornada chapter 5 . 7/9/2011 You. Update. This. Is. Awesome. Story. |
Cyberbutterfly chapter 5 . 7/4/2011 Okay... Just have to set the record... Bruce's eyes are HAZEL... Which is a mix of brown and green... That's what makes his eyes so hard to peg- because Hazel eyes will shift colours depending on lighting and mood. They can even (on RARE occasions) seem blue... But that's definitely due to lighting. (Know this from zooming in on my 'Scarecrow and Mrs. King DVD'... Know about Hazel eyes shifting because mine are the same colour and do the same thing) Okay... Now onto the review! I LOVE this story... I love how you've kept the characters completely canon with where they left off from the movie, as well as how the programs are reacting to the real world. Tron was just HEARTBREAKING in this one... I just wanted to run into the story and give him a big hug... However I also realize, in his current state, I'd probably get De-Rezzed for my efforts. Likewise, Alan was well written... He feels very true to what Alan always represented... And, of course, Quorra was just fantastic in the short 'screen time' she got. Now... I feel I must say something more... YOUR. COMPLETELY. EVIL. That 'teaser' was off the HOOK, and made my jaw drop- and you HAVE to keep writing (and write fast) because I need to know what's going to happen to cause that- and I need to know NOW! (PS... I get that real life makes people busy... So no actual pressure is intended... But I am a fan, and I'm demanding :D) |
sharinganavenger chapter 5 . 7/4/2011 YES. IT'S AN UPDATE. ...:) So much joy. I was wondering about fics being dead the other day, and this was pretty near the top of my "please let it update" list. And then it did. :D And the world was excellent. Unspecific joy aside... I fracking love your Quorra. Seriously. I'm pretty sure your depiction of her is the best I have seen anywhere, in any fic, ever (and I've searched the interwebs...). I love her reaction to Marv—curious and interested, but not giggly or cooing. "eyes follwing with laser precision and her hands twitched occasionally as if he was a football she wanted to tackle." XD Best description ever. But all throughout the chapter. Her immediate aggressive defense response to Tronzler's rumble, her excitement—not stupidity, or even complete naivete, but excitement and interest—in the user world. Honestly. You catch a balance between aggressive combatant and curious program that is so damn hard to depict, and you do it beautifully. I cannot explain how happy that makes me. :D Alan's perspective was fun. It very much seemed like whatever Sam or Flynn had tried to explain before, he'd just pushed aside into a corner of his brain labeled 'deal with later', which left him hilariously uninformed. His "?" reaction to the freakout about Tronzler was great, as was his later "yay, we're both confused... oh wait" at Quorra. Flynn similarly, though with a different emphasis. His sensory focus/excitement at being back in the user world was tons of fun, but the emotional reactions were amazing. His pain/edge-of-bitterness at the closeness Alan and Sam have which he really doesn't. And oh gods, Tronzler. It... I don't like Flynn. He screws up, and he pisses me off, and IMO, by the end of Legacy, he's still screwing up nearly as bad, just in slightly different ways. But his interaction with Tron here... -_- Gods. That just hurt to read. Tron's avoidance, nonresponsiveness, guilt and shame manifesting in traits far too close to Rinzler's behavior towards Clu. Painful, but especially from Flynn's perspective, where it's not clear if he's behaving that way because of choice or because the reprogramming's still there. And really, that it seems to be Tron doing it almost makes it worse-out of shame for what he was as Rinzler, he's hiding/limiting/willingly-destroying himself until what's left is... Rinzlerlike. D: Oh, Tron... *shakes head* So much facepalm when Alan interrupted; at least he was starting to open up, if not in a positive direction. Alan's confusion/freakout bit was good. I like that the program/person thing doesn't always come so easily, and the way you did it was excellent—he's not cruel or stupid, but hitting a block with all the crazy he's expected to believe, just trying to cling to some normalcy before it gets shot down. The Sam/Quorra dynamic is pretty good; I'm not really a fan of that pairing (I see them as siblings), but if you're leading into that, I certainly can't complain about your methods in doing it. :D This story is fracking awesome. Please continue when you can. |
meow chapter 5 . 7/4/2011 EEK! I was so excited when I saw this update! Great chapter, as always. Keep'em coming! |
ScribeOfRhapsody chapter 4 . 6/18/2011 I like this a lot! Please update soon! |
Shadow Chaser chapter 4 . 6/10/2011 Quorra's comment regarding Alan-One's directives made me crack up completely. That and also the resolution to Clu's battle with Quorra is very ingenious and so very human/Sam at the same time. The rules are different out here for you three programs - VERY different. You're in the User world now. Looking forward to reading more! -Shadow Chaser |
Jaythe chapter 4 . 6/6/2011 Wow, just wow! I really like what you've done with this story (and I'm actually finding that it has a lot more potential and intrigue than the actual Tron ending). I noticed that you haven't updated for a month. I hope that doesn't mean that you've abandoned this story? In any case, it would be amazingly awesome (and would make me super happy) if you updated this story! I'm crossing my fingers and putting this on story alert! |
BlackBolt chapter 4 . 5/15/2011 what a mess ! i hope tron will recover - perhaps with sams help ? :) and i wonder what they will do with clu :/ please update soon, will you ? *begging* this story is awesome :)) *hugs*, bye, Blackie .. |
irinab chapter 4 . 5/4/2011 okay, you won me over. i read this over at archiveofourown, and was hooked. please finish? pretty please with a lightcycle on top? :) |
Silvara chapter 4 . 4/26/2011 Oh no, it's fine, I was rather referring to the actual chapter I commented on, when the guy (err program) trashed a little around because of pride and prejudice and stuff about his conceptor seeing him in a diminished state. xD Buuut I was a little sad I didn't get to see Alan's first reaction to seeing his own younger face... Bust just a little. This chapter (back in Kansas) is my favorite thus far. The writing quality seems to have soared in this one as long as I am concerned. The metaphors renewed my interest. They were quite fun, welcome, and, on a more personal matter, I could easily relate to them despite not being very used to English idioms. I'm glad most of the imagery was general enough to work for me. (as an example, the often comparisons with animals in English idioms sounds a little awkward confronted to my maternal language's imagery) Anyway, that's to say that this chapter was purely a fun reading time. I love how your have Sam thinking... If you intend to deal with all your chaps that way, I'm well on my way to become addicted. X) Okay, then I’m going to have my own quote time too! So, here are my favs: - First you notes, in a long long time, are the first to actually feel this graciously endearing. - A decade or so after its expiration date, the foam stuttered and spat, but the extinguisher still dutifully emptied its contents For some reason, I find this kind of precision cute. I could almost relate to the fire extinguisher. xD - the muscles in his cheeks beginning to ache as he fought to hold the expression (I like the realist but courteous way you dealt with the topic) - Sam might have thought they were enjoying themselves on some deep, subconscious, masochistic leve. I can totally see what you mean there, what could rival to the fun of bickering with an newfound old friend in crisis time. xD - "I got the memo, all right? But forgive me if I don't think the lawyers will take the word of a man who has been missing for twenty years if I'm sued for negligence" - "Which reminds me, Dad. You got any rope down here?" Alan is sooo fun to scandalize... wD Most of the dialogs were very cool in fact. - Kevin's brow knit in bemusement. "You are basing your assessment of his loyalties off of the color of the ... 'stripey things' that were rendered by the laser?" And that was the cue for all the readers who actually did the same thing to relate very strongly to Sam. xD (Or were I the only one?) - And that one "Alan-one is very fierce! All of his programs must be warriors." hade me pausing in my read to lol maniacally. This quote reminds me of a line in a classic Native American movie or book, something like Pocahontas or The Last fo the Mohican... I couldn't stop lolling at how much fitting it was in your fic's context. X) Your people are so mean with Clu, I think I begin to sympathize with him a little (but I still want Tron to have his revenge a way or another for being corrupted, of course) - Tron now seemed more like a ticking bomb. You've -pardon, Sam's- got such a way to deal with tact. It's hilarious. Plus the fact you manage more than well to make us see things his way via his direct but clear linear thoughts process. I love it. I think I can even begin to like Sam as a character now. Which is no easy feat. I love the whole ending paragraph-s. X) Of course I wanna moore! *bounces up and down* |
