THY INWARD LOVE PART II: FELT YET UNSPOKEN
by Richard Lawson
*Grammar: 8
*Story: 7 It was a pretty boring story in this particular chapter, but
Richard saved it with his masterful storytelling.
*Characters: 8 The examining of Akane's relationship with Ranma is a
little unconvincing to me.
*Humor: 3 That last few paragraphs took me by suprise.
*Overall: 7.5 Maybe if I read thie whole TIL, I would think it is
excellent like other people say, but this was not that excellent. I think
Akane and Ranma went a little fast in their relationship in this chapter.
The dialougs between Akane and Ranma were good but not great. A little on
the cliched side. But Richard's writing style is very nice. Uh oh, I gave
one of Lawson's work under an 8. People are going to flame me for
expressing my opinion.
DONNER
by Ed Sharpe
*Grammar: 6 I found basic errors, and the author needs to sharpen up on
his dialougs.
*Story: 6 This could have been a good story if the author excuted the
relationship between Skuld's two boyfriends a little better. I would have
liked to see a more emotional goodbye. Although the e-mail was a nice
touch.
*Characters: 7 It mainly focuses on Skuld, and she's portrayed nicely.
Belldandy was portrayed as mindless and Urd was okay done. Donner is
portrayed great.
*Humor: 4
*Lemon: 1 Near the beginning when they talked about sex...
*Overall: 6 First, the structuring is not so good. It seemed choppy.
Also, did Kenji appear in the author's other fics? If he wasn't the author
should discribe Kenji a bit more. I think the author should play with her
choice a little more, wether to go with Donner or stay with Kenji. It was
pretty obvious that she was going to stay, but I wanted her to go back. If
I had known Kenji better and what she meant to Skuld.
A RANMA 1/2 "ELSEWORLDS 2--Lovers No More"
By John Walter Biles
*Grammar: 7 structuring is sorta weak, few typos, and Biles actually put
Conditioner instead of Cabinet.
*Story: 8 Very good story, excellent story. Slow and uninteresting in
the beginning, but very good.
*Characters: 9 Oh man, the character development is soooo great in this.
I love it, you are the man, John Biles.
*Humor: 8 Funny stuff like John Biles can only do.
*Overall: 9 This story reminded me of my Personalities story. I did read
this, actually skimmed this before I wrote Personalites Too. But I didn't
remember what it was about. Now after I sat down and actually read it, it
sorta reminded me of Personalities Too. However, this was much much
better. I feel inferior.
KIMAGURE ORANGE COLLEGE EPOSIDE 4
by Andy Combs and the KOC gang.
*Grammar: 7 those use of camera angles were chessey
*Story: 8 Another great episode from KOC. Kasuga makes a fool of himself
as always.
*Characters: 8 They were well portrayed.
*Overall: 7.5 Okay, this wasn't that great of an epoisde. It had a good
story and stuff, but they took away Kimura as Kyosuke's other love
interest. That probably hurt the plot a little, but there is also that
baseball player. I still don't know the new characters except for Kimura.
And I just didn't like this eposide as much as the other ones.
RANMA 1/2: WICKED GARDEN
by Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne
*Grammar: 9
*Story: 9 Great dark fic... excellent. Reminds me of my favorite anime
move, "Beautiful Dreamer."
*Characters: 9 The Kuno's are not portrayed as idiots, Kodachi is featured
very well as a lunatic, and Tatewaki actually acts like a samouri. The
other characters were weak, but it was not significant. The portrayal of
Kodachi is very well done.
*Drama: 8 None of the jokes were funny, I knew this was going to be a dark
fic, and I read it with the attitute that it was going to be a darkfic.
*Overall: 9 Great twisted story. It makes me appreciate Kodachi a little
more with this fic, a great chilling fanfic.
SUGAR AND SPICE AND...
By Christopher Willmore
*Grammar: 7
*Story: 7 not too terribly exciting story
*Characters: 8
*Overall: 7 You're not going to get a nobel literature prize by writing
about someone cooking in the kitchen unless you are a super writer, but
this served its purpose and it was pretty fun to read.
