forbiddenstars 2008-07-03 ch 39,	abusesorry no time to login. and sorry for leaving ginormous review, but i felt that for a story this wonderful and unbelieveable, it deserves as long a review as i can write. your characters are amazing. their emotion and development is phenomenal, and your plotline manages to do the impossible and be universally pleasing (anyone who doesn't like this story is blind) and yet totally uncliche. while the religious bit is probably a bit controversial, that does nothing to sway my opinion of this story. its wonderful to read a story where the 'good guys' don't suddenly overcome the 'bad guys' and everyone is happy forever within 4 chapters. (i do hope the 'good guys' win, though) you aren't afraid of tragedy, either. nobunaga's death was a point of brilliance- so sad, so, so so sad, and yet it brought the emotional level of this story to unbelievable heights. yes, i've just done a marathon read and read 39 chapters in one sitting, but i couldn't help it. i was spellbound by this story, mesmerized. I noticed you have not updated for quite a while, and i understand that life issues may have come up. but please, consider the fact that your writing brings so much JOY/HAPPYNESS/ENTERTAINMENT for the rest of us lowly people who can't write for our lives. please. i'm begging you. much love, forbiddenstars
harpy q 2008-07-01 ch 39, anon.	abuseyo yo yo! i read your april/may? livejournal entry. DI is so special as a piece of fantastical/manga-esque fiction to me. i remember reading it in high school! oh the good ol' days. glad to see you're still thinking of continuing it. if you do, i can't wait for it! i especially can't wait to see all the reader responses this story would get. DI love forever! wo!
AmeKumo 2008-07-01 ch 34,	abuseSo, since you are being a very cruel person, I decided to reread the story... And decided to comment on this chapter. It's my favorite one. I love Mischa, and Adrian, and Sasha and Aidan, and their relationships... I don't know why I torture myself so. It's such a wonderfully AMAZING story, though. AND, you know how to spell "definitely", as opposed to letting spell check tell you "definatly" (as most people misspell it) that it's "defiantly", which means something completely different. Claps and hugs and worship to you!
Arielle 2008-06-18 ch 39, anon.	abusePLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THIS STORY IT'S SO AmAzInG!
W. B. Halcombe 2008-05-09 ch 39,	abuseA silent lurker fan I be. I think I reviewed once before, but I forget XD. Anyway, your recent post on your livejournal got me wanting to send in exactly what DI is to me~ This is not a guilt trip unless it works >:3 (jk lol) I found this story by accident, to be totally honest. I was tired, and clicked the link above or bellow the one I was aiming for, and ended up here. I'm really glad I did, I was entranced from the first paragraph. Your writing style was so professional, I loved every second of it. Chapter 37 pt. 2 is the first literary work that's ever truly touched me deep enough to cause me to cry. You are an amazing writer, one of the best I've ever seen. You have a real talent. Because of DI, I checked out your other stories too, and they were just as good. Now, I'm not going to say keep going with DI if you're hitting a wall(though at least give us a summary of what was going to happen, total cliffhanger ;_;), but don't stop writing. You've got a gift, and I'm sure if it's you writing it, people will read it. Do what makes you happiest in terms of finishing DI, but don't stop writing. Don't put your gift to waste~
gothicmadcow 2008-02-29 ch 39,	abuseunless my eyes are playing tricks on me after reading this entire story so far in one sitting, you haven't updated for a year! I cry, right now. This story is absolutely beautiful and don't get me started on the characters and the emotion you flawlessly transmit through your words. honest, I've been practically reading this story for, like, three days straight. You practically sucked me in. I'm not going to nag about updating soon and all that because I'm sure you have your own reasons for not updating, but I hope you do continue this story, or even any of your other stories!
RebeccaLi 2008-02-26 ch 39,	abuseHey! I love your story so much, It is one of the best fiction story I'v read here. ^^ and I can't wait for the next chapter. But I noticed that you haven't updated for a long time and I hope you arn't thinking of NOT finisch it. I wil go so mad If that's so. I really hope you will start updating soon. Do not just leave us haning. (sorry for my bad english)
Daydream Nation 2008-02-23 ch 39,	abuseThe story is fcking beautiful.
Naruola 2008-02-06 ch 1, anon.	abuseI hope I don't get killed for this O_O I love your story- recently I've been a fan of a lot of books and movies that involve the four horsemen. I love your characters and your plot is pretty strong...but I don' think you're the greatest writer in the world. Your dialouge comes across as too dramatic, and I think your characters (particularly Adrian) get a little soppy sometimes. You seem to have a bad habit for run ons too- commas can only do so much. I really like your story, and I have been following it, but I think you could do with some more practice.
moneymakestheworldgoround 2008-01-28 ch 39,	abuseomigawd ... o_O WOAH. and no more! :( u HAVE to update. honestly, this is the best story i've read in a long time. serious. :) i love this. ^_^
moneymakestheworldgoround 2008-01-28 ch 35,	abuse'The zanbato came around again, but this time, I didn’t hurtle it. Instead, I jumped up--and landed on the broad blade, balanced on the flat edge.' that reminds me of a scene in kenshin, where he's fighting against sagara and he jumps on the massive sword too. :D
moneymakestheworldgoround 2008-01-28 ch 36,	abuse...omg ... he dies ...?? does he?? woah ... O_O
moneymakestheworldgoround 2008-01-24 ch 1,	abuseoh. spooky. i like it. ^_^
AmeKumo 2007-12-30 ch 39,	abuseI just read this story, and I agree (with every particle of my being) with LandUnderWave. This story is AMAZING, wonderful, superb, great in the no-words-to-express-how-wonderful-this-story-is way. I read a lot. I should know. I showed it to one of my friends and she calls me in the middle spazzing about who Vincent really is. If you don't reappear soon, I'm going to round up all of your fans and we shall make you write. I can usually tell when something's going to happen, but pretty much everything that happened was just like, "Woah. That's... Unexpected..." I love the characters- they all have their own distinct personalities. I so wish this was published, so I could read it many times and read it wherever I wanted to, so my sister wouldn't yell at me to get off the computer. I hope Mischa and Adrian and Julian and everyone survive... tear
Anon. 2007-12-28 ch 37, anon.	abuseI love this story so much, it's wonderful. I've been reading it over my vacation, with the chapter aved on my computer since there was no wireless at my hotel. It's helped pass the time wonderfully. Please, please continue.
