(sorry, I was busy when the announcement scrolled by my flist and then forgot to go back to it. bad me.)

Quote
“She’s been here for weeks and I still don’t know hardly anything about her.”

That struck me as really awkward... were you trying to capture something about Kaitlyn's speech patterns, or would "I hardly know anything about her" do?

Quote
“You are clearly mired in some rank sea of self-deprecation, as well as full of crap.”

I'm SO going to quote that at you next time your in a down mood about your writing. ^_^

I like the conversation here in general, very natural, and the characterization is very good. (And I still like Etienne best.) And Omnes coming back with "I thought it would be entertaining" was just brilliant.

Poor Celina. ;_; The arguement with her mother was great, it's amazing how much of a cold water shock the idea of calling the police can be in a magical girl story, isn't it? And "I'm drinking the rest of this milk"? Brilliant. I seriously laughed out loud.

Dagan and Azura are really cute in conversation.

Quote
“It’s a good thing I get gloves,” Gnome said, peeking at his shiny, dark brown nails.

“But you look so stylish,” Undine teased.

Have I told you how much I love it that you can keep the humor in your writing even when the plot is being all Dark and Angsty and Serious?

Sailorknight kicks so much ass. I still wish there was a way that there wasn't so much going on during your battle scenes, but I can't think of how to do it without, you know, not having everyone there. And I think that'd be hard.

Poor Lysistrata. ;_; Oh, you might want to fix " I am not worried about worried about Fa’Diel. "  I like the way she speaks, the lack of self-pity. Gah, though, I just want to hug her. And Celina. And Kaitlyn, when she's all angsty.

And Etienne, because he's hot. *grin* But not as hot as Sean, of course....

Anyway. Back to bitching out my hosting company. Thanks for making the afternoon more enjoyable.

Del, you are the best Del in the world n_n And yeah, I saw those entries about your hosting company; they sound like whores.  You're right, though, complaining is usually an effective way to get you what you want XD;;;

Oh, nuts, thanks for pointing out those errors--and I think you're right, that bit of dialogue should be fixed to the less awkward phrasing.  I will do this thing now. 

You're also right about the busy action scenes.  That's probably Clarity's main weakness--there are so very many people, and when they fight, it's usually everyone fighting at once.  I suppose the best way for me to resolve this would be to try to individualize the battles--that is to say, to set up circumstances where not everyone is always involved, if possible (unfortunately it often isn't).

Yeah, Lysistrata's had it rough, but it's okay, because she can kill you X3

Thanks for reading and the commentary Cheesy

I'm back! Cheesy

First, I'm happy to see an update -- but I have absolutely no sense of time (literally, none at all), so I'm quite okay with the wait ^^ I also saw in your LJ that you're going to concentrate on Claris for now, and I think that's probably wise. I know what it's like to have too many projects going at once. Just so you know I support you ^_^

I agree with what's been said: Great dialogue, somewhat crowded battle. But the latter is to be expected under the circumstances, because battles aren't usually neat and organized. Making up ways to separate the characters only to get the fights tidier would probably be a non-brilliant idea, unless you can make it seem natural (which you probably can, but it might not be what you want to spend your creativity on). The amount of characters isn't so much a weakness as a feature Smiley

Celina's conversation with her mother rocked.
“You go out in that?”
“Yes. To fight evil.”

Hee... Grin

One teeny little inquiry...
"I worked harder, going out tot rain by myself"
I'm guessing "tot rain" is a typo, but it's the awesomest typo I've seen all day XD Tot rain! Well, that's my sense of humour <_<

I liked how you developed Lysistrata more as a person, than just the 'psychotic bitch'.  Thumbs up.

Oh, and you spelled tragic wrong in the introduction.  [/crawls back into corner]

Thanks XD
Yeah, that was intentional X3  A lame effort at humor, like how I and others will often type oh noes or something instead of oh no n_n

 Yeah, ok, it took me an obscenely long amount of time to get my ass in gear and read this, but I;m so glad I finally did!!! Lyn you continue to ROCK!!!I'm damn glad I waited over a year for that ^_^

  Meanwhile, I'm all for Pathos/Peri (disfunctional-evil-but-not-really couples are great) and Dagan is adorable. Tho' I am now moved to say all of his lines soutloud with an Irish accent. Because I'm a freak like that. Speaking of accents, Kaitlyn's suddenly got this Southern Belle thing going on. Or maybe she always had it going on and I just didn't notice, but either way it's really very cute.

  Oh, and um, the description of Lysistrat's brother's death? Ew. I mean that with all possible love and admiration, but still. Ew. *lol*


Also, this bit of dialogue made me laugh out loud (remembering, of course, that I'm syaing all of Dagan's lines outloud in a bad Irish accent as I read):

Wait—she’s going to heal them?” Gnome said.

“Yes,” Undine replied.

“What the bloody hell?”

“I know, man.  I know,” Lumina said
.

 And I really must remember to use this the next time one of my friend's sits on me as they are wont to do.

Just to let you know: I have waited sooo long for this!!! I was so happy when it was updated!  Your style is unique because it combines humor with drama and makes for something that looks like an anime in my mind! Love your work!  Grin
