Reviews For: Why the Dark Lord Must Die

Akedhi 2007-07-11 ch 4,	Interesting. I must say that I'm curious as to what exactly Winding is doing, and if s/he is actually writing down what Tukeli says, or if s/he's writing down something else. (Is s/he actually genderless or what?)
Akedhi 2007-07-11 ch 1,	He has a NYC accent in my head, and I irrationally want to pounce on him, ruffle his hair, and give him hugs until he either blows me up or gives up. ... and that's all, for this chapter. (I am so horrible at giving actual critiques unless something is terrible or I'm specifically confused on one point or another.)
Cherokee Scot 2006-12-19 ch 4,	So, I liked this, but it confused the hell out of me for a minute. I didn't realize at first that Tukeli-... is dictating to Winding. But anyway, yes, still pretty impressed, though perhaps there's a way to clarify in the beginning?
Cherokee Scot 2006-12-19 ch 3,	HA! I absolutely love this. Tukeli-so-on-and-so-forth has this attitude that I admire, that if you act like you're supposed to be doing whatever it is you're doing, you might actually get away with it. lol I love this stuff, very impressed!
Cherokee Scot 2006-12-19 ch 2,	The bad things that happen to this character are believable, and we know they're bad, but his own cynicism and ill-temperedness is enough to lighten it up a little bit, but I'm glad that you don't overdo it, otherwise it would be irritating. I'm intrigued about this Testing's Treasure thing, so I think I'm going to go read some more.
Cherokee Scot 2006-12-18 ch 1,	This is serious, but with enough humor that it's not overbearing. I'm looking forward to reading more of this!
Shadow Gryphon 2006-11-04 ch 5,	That was... amazing. Really, really good narrative, and you've kept the curses. :) The fight was cool, too. Weird about your dad, though... sorry to hear about that.
Shadow Gryphon 2006-06-06 ch 4,	blinks Interesting to see the outside perspective. I still quite like Tukeli, though. It's been a month since you've updated, and I find this quite fascinating. Update again soon, please.
Shadow Gryphon 2006-06-06 ch 3,	Wow. Testing is creepy in a brilliant way, and the whole thing about the bindings and everything just worked so well. This is just great.
Shadow Gryphon 2006-06-06 ch 2,	"And you never, ever really had to deal with anything so horrific as buried salvation." I loved that line. Out of curiosity, how did you develop the slang he uses? It all works nicely, so I was wondering if you invented it or based it off of a period slang?
Shadow Gryphon 2006-06-06 ch 1,	stares That is a beautiful style. And even though it's ridiculously long, I love his name now. Especially because of the bit at the end, I think. Or just because I like Dark Lords and can't find any ones in published fiction that I like.
Cyres and Ty 2006-05-11 ch 4,	And here I thought you’d placed his story on hiatus. I am glad you are back with it. This was a nice little chapter that really put the story in a different light. Good work. I was smiling at some of the descriptions of Tukeli’s insanity and his interactions with Winding. I was slightly confused with Winding’s s/he thing-- but then I know you do odd little quirks like that. Only two very minor things I spotted 1) septagenarian to septuagenarian 2) pacifyingly isn’t a word (but it works so whatever). Keep it up! Cyres
Out of the Orange 2006-05-06 ch 4,	I have no idea what the ** is going on here. In a GOOD way. This is one of those things where the "WTF?" bubble over your head just reels you into the story even more and heightens the fascination. The dance-thing is just awesome. It paints this picture in my mind that's somehow gruesome and chilling, yet oddly tickling at the same time. Ya know? No? Yes? Okay... slinks away
Out of the Orange 2006-05-06 ch 3,	Lovin' it. Methinks you've done some editting, and it looks better than ever. Random: is this in any way connected to OFiPfD? Like, in the same planet or universe or whatever? 'Cuz the fake magicians and stuff...yeah...
Out of the Orange 2006-05-06 ch 2,	M. I wasn't planning on reviewing till I got to the last chapter (I'm a bit strapped for time T_T), I couldn't resist. This line was just too funny: "I’m glad character isn’t inheritable, or I’d be in deep diarrhea right now." So yeah, I really love the snarkyness of Tuluki...GAH, I will never remember his entire name. But anyway, I like him a lot. He's a fun protag, and likeable somehow. His narration doesn't invite pity, exactly, but I find myself feeling horribly sorry for him, anyway. It's funny how you make these lines that on the one hand make you giggle, but the na second later, you feel like you've been- as you so aptly put it- axed in the gut. Like the thing about how it wouldn't matter to his dad much if he died, cuz the old man had other sons and could make more. Incidentally, did you know that this was the first story I heard of you by? I was cruisin' around on Cyres' page when I saw your story, decided to check it out, liked it, and added you t'my Author Alert (so you've been on my AA for quite a long while, even before I started reviewing and stuff...hides guiltily). And then this "New chapter from Quavi" thing popped up in my inbox and it was like, "chapter twelve of somethingortheother" and I'm like, "Whatever. I'll glance over it someday, but 12 chappies is too long for me to wade through the whole thing." Then, of course, I got hooked and- well, you know the rest of the story. :)
