Very good and it makes you want to know what happens next good cliff hanger!

The plot thickens! I'm quite glad that things are actually happening now-- the information about Todd's life is much appreciated, and I quite enjoyed the chatspeak. It was very realistic, and emphasize Void's creepy strangeness.
I do find it odd that she's researching in a chatroom, though. None of that info can be counted as truth-- it seems to belie her professionalism. It doesn't fit in, and thus doesn't work. Can she meet Void some other way?

I like the end of the chapter! It implies that the plot is starting to appear, and that things aren't as they seem as much anymore. It has the creepiness that I'd look for in a Sweeney Todd story, for sure!
I don't quite get what the assignment is, though. Her research seems to consist of nothing but the plot of the play-- not too top secret, surely. My only idea is that her boss might be trying to get her killed-- but that's anticlimactic, surely. Anywho, it's pointless to try to sympathize with a character's dilemma when the dilemma in question makes no sense.

Woo! A fic about Sweeney Todd! How great is that? I love that your character is clueless about the legend and reluctant to take it on-- it'll be interesting to see her react later on. And, of course, it's wonderful that your fanfiction is not from the point of view of a victim-- that would be ever so cliche, I'm sure.
You have some syntax errors, though. You overuse ellipses, and have spelled a lot of words wrong. This makes your story just like the other billion written today-- because on fictionpress, you only stand out if you revise REALLY well. And really, why would most people bother with a story that doesn't stand out?
Eager to read more, though!

I don't want to sound like a prude but I have to say something. When it comes down to the wire this is not an original story. It's a story about and for Sweeney Todd. That makes it a fanfiction. You're creating a plot and characters involving the story of the play/movie itself.

I cannot doubt that you must've spent a great deal of time working on this story and making it as best as you could. I'm not condemning your work I'm merely suggesting you move it. If you've been on this site long enough you know of its sister site . I'm sure if this were moved there it would be read and receive positive reviews without grief.

IA really like this so far. Your introduction to the charectors was well written and, as a Todd lover, I can't wait to see what happens next!
