abuseOkay, the plot is moving along. We learn a bit more about Rio. Another conversation with Sven.

I'm going to stop reading at this point, though, because quite frankly (constructive criticism coming up), 1) the plot, while it moves fast, doesn't interest me enough to keep me reading, 2) Rio is consistently a Mary Sue character who can evidently beat up big strong men without so much as being scratched--ten chapters is a bit long to ask any reader to keep believing that without any explanation, and 3) the characters are interesting but nothing really unique or endearing. I don't care about them enough to keep reading at this point.

It's not a badly-written story; I just don't find it interesting. My personal opinion. :)

Congratulations on your prolific nature, though--you've got quite a bit posted, and quantity is always to be applauded.

Best of luck in your writing.

abuseThe accents in the dialogue are great, but... Mary Sue alert! Mary Sue alert! We need an explanation relatively soon--suspended disbelief is about to go crashing to the ground!

abuseOkay, Sven clears up some things. Rio overhearing Beelz is a bit of a plot stretch, but we'll let that slide for the moment.

Writing quality's still good.

abuseI really like your dialogue. The chapters move fast and are cleanly written.

At this point, though, I'll a little concerned that Rio might be a Mary Sue. She seems too good to be real--hopefully we get an explanation as to her incredible skills soon?

abuseGreat first chapter. I like your style and, so far, your protagonist. Definitely has personality.

abuseYou made an incredible story with fantastic characters. Tara/Rio is fantastic. I could not stop from reading her story for almost two days. And I loved every inch of this story. Actually, I still love it. ^_^

You made wonderful work with this story. How can I greet you the way you deserves ? Dunno. Especially you living in the United States and me living across an ocean.

abuseI applaud you for being able to write 3rd person p.o.v. this well. I just can’t get the hang of it. I like how you don’t confuse all the characters actions and dialog up.

I’ve finally adapted to Shannon and Rio... It took a while, though- 30 something chapters... I’m happy that Rio’s happy. It’s nice that she enjoys the sex too, as I never assumed her to and it wasn’t actually stated, well maybe it was- I forget things...

Oh, how I wish I had cable. I just looked up Shannon Moore pictures on google and whoa... Reading this makes me want to watch wrestling=)

abuseOi...*shakes head* I am so freakin’ confused about my feelings for Shannon. He just rubs me the wrong way, but he also seems like a normal possessive guy. I must read more... Oh, maybe he rubs me the wrong way because Rio doesn’t seem ecstatic about their relationship... That may be why. *Shrugs*

abuseI don't like Shannon. I can't help it- I think he's just too pushing/demanding of Rio; But I don't want Shannon to die, b/c of Phantom, well maybe- I'm undecided.

Still, I adore this story. I gauge this as remarkable because usually after around 20 chapters of reading, if the story isn’t going fast enough I'll give up reading. And since I keep coming back to this- no matter how sparsely I review, I still find this immensely enjoying. Cheers! Oh, also, I hope you have a great writing break; it is well deserved.

abuseI hate Shannon... Yup, I've made up my mind. How can he be such a dick? To his friends? Hasn't he heard the term 'bros before hos'? Lol! Also, I'm glad Matt's smartened up.
