Orual 2007-05-02 ch 7,	abuseI liked the chapter. It had its rough points--I think you may have over-emphasized Evan's character. As it stands, he seems far more like sarcasm than Brook. I think you are moving the plot along well, though. I am curious about this internet chatroom. A few nitpicking matters: "It was un-missable." -- try "unmistakable" instead "...and it lay a blonde mess on top of his head" -- "blond" is the adjective you should use for a man. "Blonde" refers only to women. "Her hair was mid-torso length and red" -- I think you could get more out of this. "Her red hair fell to the middle of her back," or something.
The Endless Stranger 2007-05-01 ch 7,	abuseI thought it was great. A good start anyway. I really dont know where your going with this but it was well written.
Orual 2007-04-23 ch 6,	abuseInteresting point of view changes. I normally hate that sort of thing, but it works very well here. I am beginning to see how this hooks up with previosu chapters. I'm still intrigued and eager to see how these characters live up to their metaphysical counterparts. (I'm not really sure what to call irony, sarcasm, and karma.) I was a little disappointed that this was so short, but I can understand why you want short chapters. Readers who are unsure of continuing are encourages by that. You have a few places where I think you could smooth out the writing a little by eliminating unnecessary words. (In "She couldn’t tell because he had one of the blankest looks on his face she had ever seen on anyone before," for instance, you could remove "on anyone.") I'd be happy to help you out with that sort of thing, if you like. Keep on, anyway. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Orual 2007-04-18 ch 5,	abuseI have to agree with Sarcastic Presence. Ouch. Doesn't help at all that my name is "Anna." I liked this portion and can definately see Karma, though I find it a little strange that you say Ryan had read Romans 8:38-39 millions of times (even given exaggaration) when he isn't a Christian. He could be an eccentric, of course, and read the Bible for literary value, but I have met very few non-Christians who have much familiarity with the Bible. I just think it would be more appropriate if he saw the verse taped somewhere Anna might have put it, like a mirror or something.
Sarcastic Presence 2007-04-17 ch 5, anon.	abuseKarma. Ouch. Ok, so I was wrong--that person in the last chapter wasn't Karma, but I get it anyway, I think. Interesting. Keep going.
The Endless Stranger 2007-04-16 ch 5,	abusethe plot thickens...
Ironic Presence 2007-04-16 ch 4,	abuseOoh, intrigue! Drama. Were Thia and Arik Sarcasm and Irony? Hm... I hinted a scent of sarcasm, but it wasn't quite enough to fill my appetite downcast eyes. But hey, still very good vignette. There's definitely something funny at the way Arik lunged at her. Hm... was that Karma at the bottom? Interesting... it sounded like a mix of jealousy and vengeance. You know, I think I'm starting to get this! It's all clicking! Ha! Ok, I'm done. I'll wait for you to update. Sarcastic Presence
Ironic Presence 2007-04-16 ch 3,	abuseInteresting... this is Irony? Hm... I guess I can get a feel of irony in it. Yeah. I like this one. It is an intriguing look on the thoughts of one in love, and accurate. sigh Yay! Sarcasm next!! >D ^_^
Ironic Presence 2007-04-16 ch 2,	abuseYeah, I tend to do this a lot myself. Interesting thoughts. "Only scratching the surface of someone whose soul is untouchable." I like how you said that. :)
Ironic Presence 2007-04-16 ch 1,	abuseOoh, brain-twister. I liked it. I shall read on!
you'll see 2007-04-08 ch 3,	abuseThey have never met, only talk to each other through e-mail, and she told him she loves him? How did they meet?
you'll see 2007-04-08 ch 1,	abuseI've lost how karma could be mistaken for irony, unless its getting what they deserve. The first line apears to be a definition of irony, then later on it says that irony is actions, so the definiton would have to be of sarcasm. This is really interesting. The resemblance to your pen name is the main reason I clicked the link to read this.
The Endless Stranger 2007-04-08 ch 4,	abusei have to say its a little confusing, but it's certainly very good. keep going I'm sure it will tie together well.
Orual 2007-04-07 ch 4,	abuseNow it begins. Your conversation and the portrayal of emotion were very appropriate. I'm looking forward to the plot and seeing who is unhappy with Arik. I'm not quite sure about the connection with Sarcasm, though. I thought sarcasm would be contained within the chapter, but I didn't catch it, if was there.
Orual 2007-04-07 ch 1,	abuseI'm going to write this as one review since I think I'll have to read all three parts to give you anything substantial. Intial reactions: Part one: Oh, very good start. I love the way you've treated Irony, Sarcasm, and Karma as people rather than concepts. Part two: Interesting thoughts. Especially: "We live passivist lives: living for tomorrow and dismissing today." Very true. Now, I thought these would all be conected, but this doesn't seem to relate to the previous portion. Am I missing something? Part three: Fascinating vignette. I wish there were more, so I'm rather hoping that Sarcasm's life relates. All together, I don't really know what is going on yet with this on a whole, but I think that it will become clearer as you go. So I am content to wait. Good work so far.
