Colorado Mountains chapter 1 . 11/17/2017 Holy shit, I absolutely love Nick's taste in music! |
Caskett93 chapter 3 . 10/17/2017 I thought it would be a good story but there is too much angst for me. To me Judy is OoC without need for it. She could have said goodbye to Nick and explained things to him. The Judy we knew from the film would not have done something like this, not even after what happened to her because of that killer. And Nick? The ex-conmammal that lived on reading people? Not seeing that Judy needed more of his help? Letting her distance from him? The writing was awesome but the plot didn't take me. Sorry Sara |
imjustlikehumphery chapter 14 . 4/15/2017 Great story sunny, keep it up! To be perfectly honest here I hated how your story started out and how you had Judy just up and leave Nick cause of Starkey but now I see that ya did it for a good reason. Those two not only re-kindled their friendship but found the love that they had for each other after Bellwether. It grew even stronger than that within Bunny Burrow as well. Now they're goin back to their true home. Not sure what's gonna happen with them but like Zootopia's slogan goes "Anyone Can Be Anything". I kinda hope they both can go back to bein in the ZPD though. Despite what happened and how they both left, I hope that Bogo might be just a bit understanding. |
KOakaKO chapter 14 . 4/11/2017 That was powerful. That was incredibly meaningful, and I feel like a better person simply for having read what you wrote. I normally read reviews before I post one, but I haven't here. So this is flying blind, something I don't normally like to do. All I know is that having read these 14 chapters was like something reaching into my chest and grabbing all of the internal filaments and having them all twisted hard. First to one side, where it felt extremely bad - then to the other side, where it felt so much better. I took an entire day to read this. Not because I have to, but because I wanted to. Meaningful words, such as these, need to be read slowly, carefully, put each in their place - rather than being skimmed quickly. Your in-depth descriptions of how Judy and Nick feel, think, agonize, fail, forgive, and love... are somewhat beyond mere words to describe. Simply by reading this, I feel somewhat exhausted and drained of all emotion. But in a good way... There's no point in criticizing little plot points or factoids here and there all over this story. Sure, they are there - but who cares? When something you read has hit you this hard, touched you so deeply, and made you reconsider how your own life may proceed... what is the point of doing that? I've been massively, crushingly depressed for months now - for reasons I won't go into, though much of it is genetically inherent. For me, it's a constant feeling of not deserving any good thing I have in life (hard as that is for me to say), rather than blaming myself for whatever is going on. Obviously I recognize such things and tell myself these feelings are false, but that doesn't actually prevent the real problem. Seems to make it worse, actually... Nevertheless, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated you posting, and writing, this story - and I hope to see something from you in the ZU someday in the future. Thank you. ;) |

Starfang's Secrets chapter 14 . 7/7/2016 A little over detailed in some parts, but I think that added to its charm. Very real, very emotional, and very good. Loved it! |
Cimar of Turalis WildeHopps chapter 14 . 7/3/2016 Alrighty, I took today to blitzread this story, not even pausing for my usual reviews as I couldn't stop reading once I started. This is good. Really good. As in you pick it up and then 6 hours later you set it down and wonder "Where did the time go?" good. I really enjoyed the deep thoughts the characters had, as well as the gradual build up to Nick finally heading out after Judy. Their dialogue was excellent and supported the thoughts they were thinking. Their actions match their thoughts and worries. You set up an excellent premise for the story and why Judy felt like she needed to leave, and formatted the story around that nicely. The only downside I could say about this story, is that with all of that thinking each character does, it does become somewhat repetitive after a while. Roughly, 4 to 11, all stated about the same thing, Judy's angst, then Nick's angst, then their angst together. The build up was nice, but after reading a chapter, I found that as I reread it, I could skip a paragraph or two, and still get the same message as then reading those missed chapters. It is very beautiful prose, and the thoughts are deep and poignant, but could have been compacted much more as well. Maybe that was just because I wanted to get to the fluff though lol. Besides that, the story was excellent. Once you hit chapter 11, you seemed to hit your stride and the story blazed ahead and read quickly. Just the right amount of angst, drama, fluff and plot to keep it entertaining and moving at a decent clip. Those four chapters are what made this story shine. It showed Judy's turnaround back to the bunny everyone knows and love, finally overcoming the obstacles in front of her with the help of Nick. It was beautiful, and I was smiling ear to ear when Judy said, "I want to go home." It almost makes me wish there was an epilogue to this, where it shows what happened to them when they finally did return to Zootopia, as it would be absolutely amazing to see them walking a beat together again. The ending is great as is, but I think that would put it just over the top in amazingness. Overall, an excellent job on this story, and even now, I know this review couldn't do it justice with how much time and love you put into it. Thank you again for another amazing story, and the best of wishes in future writing endeavors! ~Cimar of Turalis WildeHopps |
Cimar of Turalis WildeHopps chapter 2 . 7/3/2016 I blame Bogo for all of Judy's emotional turmoil, as all he had to do was let Judy investigate using the traffic cameras, and they would have caught him long before. So I'm on the Blame Bogo train. XD Anyways, I'm loving the narrative direction you have taken with this story. Still have a lot more to go, but it has become very addicting to read and I feel so badly for both Judy and Nick. I bet the outcome is happy, though it will take a while to get there. :/ |
