rate_review Reviews

I am not someone who reviews much fan fiction but I read a lot of it.
You sound like you are down about how long it has taken to up date this story and the loss of readers .
I have been reading this story from the begining and even if I would like more frequent up dates I will wait until you get them up and not complain.
It is hard to find a good story and when you find one that is good you can't give up on it unless the author gives up on writing and lets the readers know.
I feel you do a good job of character development even with characters that we already know and your plots seem to be well thought out
you are doing a good job, so keep it up. I would be sad to loose you.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see another chapter! I am so caught up in your story! I've been checking nearly every day for the past coupla months, just hoping for an update! (And less often before that. LOL) I'm not surprised to see that you've won awards for this story, as it's quite well written and very entertaining. Whether or not you do an update, I'm glad to see you back and hope life settles down some for you! (I can relate to the hectic-ness. Not fun :P) I am curious to see if Inuyasha meets the missing Prince, though I seem to recall you saying he wouldn't be in this story. (?)

Looking forward to more!

UPDATED!!!!! wow, I thought you were never going to come back to this even though I check once every few weeks! Glad to hear you're back and will keep writing :)
I really enjoyed reading this story so thanks! Sorry I don't have time to say anything more, but again, I'm super glad to see you're updating again.

Fear not! You haven't lost all of your readers! Although I did decide to take your advice and switch websites in light of MM's recent problems. I was pleased to see that you're updating your story equally on all sites at the same time, so that one reader doesn't get a head start over somebody else. Sorry to hear about your mesh of issues over the last six months, but I'm really glad you're back to this story! I'm not worried about Inuyasha getting exiled. One, he now at least knows the truth behind Kagome's kiss with Naraku, and so therefore he is no longer fighting his feelings for her...that's good in and of itself. Two, Kagome was clearly aware enough of what was happening to know why Inuyasha fled, and so there won't be any manipulation of abandonment issues. Three, Kagome knows...and in fact did know from the beginning...that she was tripped by that wire, and her and Sango are plotting something of their own. Presumably Sango knew that Naraku wanted to get rid of Inuyasha, and since it's not personal - since Naraku didn't kill him but merely chased him out of town, because he was 'in the way' - then we know Naraku's main goal is probably just taking over the city. Since Sango already knows this and told Kagome, who agreed to play along for Inuyasha's sake, it seems to me that Inuyasha could have been in greater danger than merely being exiled had Naraku's scheming not gone according to plan. The flaw in Naraku's plan, of course, is that he thinks with Inuyasha out of the way he will be able to do whatever it is he's trying to do without any further resistance. I'm sure when everything's said and done, if Inuyasha hasn't already decided to sneak back in for fear of doing so putting Kagome at risk, then Kagome will head out into the wilds herself to look for him after Naraku's been taken care of. And I know it's been a while, but wasn't there somebody else who had left never to come back? Another prince? Someone Sango had alluded to but never explained in detail? Is Inuyasha going to meet up with Miroku? Was he also drummed out of town by Naraku? I guess I'll need to go back and refresh my memory on some of the details, but I remember enough to know that I love this story! Keep up the great work!

This reader cheered when I saw an update, so I'm not lost due to long update times... 'Course I'm not the quickest to update my work, so I never complain about others. It's a hobby for heaven's sake!! Or an obsession, depending on how you look at it.

On to my review:
Wow! Things look bleak. I keep holding on to Sango and Kagome's chat and hoping they know whet the heck they're doing because she just let her greatest asset take a long walk and he might not be coming back. Mind you, since we need some butt kicking as well as some good smexing, I know you'll find a way to make it work out and for Naraku to get his bottom spanked something fierce.

Looking forward to seeing where you take this and also for things to get better in your personal life.

Noooooo!!! I had hoped this chapter wouldn't end on an angsty note (because I love your Kags and Inu playful and getting along), but it did! And now I'm just hoping that this will get resolved NEXT chapter because it breaks my heart that they're being pulled apart.

Other than that, I have no complaints about this latest update. It was, as always, superbly paced and well-written. I'll be patiently awaiting the next installment! (I have to say, too, on a side note, that I also will be a little sad when this story eventually winds to an end...I've been reading it for so long, I just don't want to stop! That and I feel it's one of the few really good, and refreshingly original Inu/Kags stories left out there. Soo...if your muse decides to take of on a tangent with this story, I will not complain. At all.)

YAY! This was your best chapter yet. I love the angsty goodness. I know that angst is a wonderful Plot device. xD Keep Writing; It's wonderful stuff!

"... there's gotta be a little rain sometimes..." Heh. Nice chapter. I can't believe she'd let Naraku carry her off like that, but Kagura's words were good. Okay, she was in on the plan to break them up, but she still hit them square on. If they don't commit and make it clear to all, they'll get advances from all sides. Love it!

Grumble –
As always, your prose leaves me wishing it wasn’t the end of the chapter. Lots of emotion, but I didn’t feel overloaded with every movement or thought. It felt natural and not like I was drowning in every poor emotion in their heads. I really like the depth that you gave Kagura as well. Naraku – well, still not a fan of his, but I think that was intentional. I can’t wait to read more and will be anxiously looking for an update. Also, great song recommendation with the Dralion. The entire soundtrack is quite powerful. I also really like the Alegria and Saltimbanco ones.
