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~

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!

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.

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

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*

abuseFirst things first: My constant thought (well, one of them) has been "Please, (all vaguely relevant deities here), make me something like this writer when I grow up." I'm in writer-love. This has topped even the high I got while reading Pamela Dean's books for the first time.

To put it simply: You are a ** AMAZING author.

That notwithstanding, if you don't show some sign of life sometime in the next six months, I will begin sending you a friendly, bi-weekly message. For a while, they'll stay that way. (insert death threat face here)

After the first few chapters, when you revealed the theme you were working with, I thought 'Wow. The person writing this is really good.' That thought, obviously, escalated. A LOT. I got called away for dinner in the middle of the part where Sasha's about to kill Aiden, and I nearly screamed. Wonderful wonderful wonderful, you make everything so deep and write so many twists I barely saw any of them coming in the least bit. (I guessed that Callisto was Tsacillo, but that was about it.)

You have a fangirl. I've warned you. :D
