'Tis the Season · Sun Apr 01, 2007 4:43 pm

Reading this, I could almost see those characters. Quark was very in-character, and I could hear O'Brien in the dialogue you wrote. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of Worf's jealous displeasure! Thank you for bringing back familiar and well-loved characters. Now for a Worf rendition of "Tis the Season to Be Jolly." hee.

Hooray for Wash's Warrior Woman! Little peek into their marital bliss was lovely. Thanks.

But he would never admit it, of course. This piece is compelling, because I can imagine Ronan having this fleeting understanding, and then shoving it to the back of his mind and convincing himself he never thought it in the first place. Very nice insight into a character I find intiguing ... and also scorchingly hot. Can he be nekkid in the next drabble? Doesn't have to be an NC-17er or anything. Heck, he can be sitting in his boudoir polishig his gun -- nekkid -- and that would be fine with me.

There's a slinky feeling to the language here, which is perfect for the subject matter and character. I always thought Adami was the real villain here, because she was so patently stupid. Gul Dukat was a great nasty character. I so miss that show. Thanks for bringing back good memories and treating these characters to such fine writing.

Gorgonza Windbreaker? Laughing my booty off, of course.

You are totally brilliant, as usual ... even when you're writing about bulk purchasing.

You Do Approve, Don't You? · Sun Apr 01, 2007 4:17 pm

Love the whole thing from Ron's perspective, interwoven at the beginning with the play-by-play from the match. I don't get Quidditch game mechanics, but this seemed like a really well-done sports scene. I didn't feel lost (and sometimes I do, even when JK writes it).

There's a long stretch of dialogue-only in the middle that could use a little narrative filler. Even a few "he said" and "she said" bits would help break up the monotonous string of dialogue.

The last few sentences, that bring us right back full-circle into Ron's head, were a nice touch. Very enjoyable read, overall!

Moment · Sun Apr 01, 2007 4:08 pm

It's nice to see this moment revisited in fic; Speedle was the only character I really liked on CSI:Miami, and I stopped watching pretty soon after they nixed him. The peek into H's head during this scene is a nice concept. That said, you might want to take another look at the execution of this fic. There are some basic language errors (often dealing with verb tense) that make the piece hard to read. Also, just reading it aloud would reveal errors such as "his mouth search for sign of alive." I feel that this piece could be much bette, with just a little work.

Sweet. I just love the Phoenix. She so bad. I thought the movie was a little abrupt with poor Cyclops' fate, but your succint line "bits of ash" captured the abruptness with a lot more poetry than the movie itself.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I have a weakness for Galadriel/Celebrimbor fics to begin with, and this is one of the best I've read. You've got his passion and deep shame all on display here, just tragic in its beauty. And his wish for redemption all tied up with his love for her. Just gorgeous. Thank you.
