Kimnd chapter 1 . 10/23/2013 Your writing style is rather dicey, and it's a little unclean. Why is Virgil talking in the first person? Is this a journal? A reflection on events past? Giving the reader some context would show us in even more depth where Virgil really lives in that world, far more than him just telling us ever could be. I don't know if I seem like a dick offering criticism before compliments, but you need to hear the criticism first- I would REALLY, REALLY hat to see such an interesting idea with so much potential pass along as another mediocre fic that nobody cares about despite the fact that they tried something New. And that deserves recognition in and of itself. Have you read "Through a Glass: Darkly"? That's a Static Shock fanfic of novel-like proportions that is some of the darkest, most gripping world building I've seen in any work, much less fanfic (though that's probably because the world the author builds contrasts so much to the world of the show). Before you go read it, it's a Virgil/Richie story but more importantly, there has been sexualized (not for the reader, mind) torture and character death. But seriously, the thing has the best goddamn character examination of Richie and Virgil on a fundamental level of why they have the potential to be great characters, even if they weren't always great in the show. And REAL COMBAT! Real traumatic combat! Hooray! *cough* okay, so what was I saying? Oh, right. That story puts Virgil in a rather similar position to where you are writing Virgil now, so I suggest giving it a read, though if you want to avoid the creepier stuff I suggest pulling out at chapter 13. Things take... not a spike in intensity, but more like a "I can no longer really deny what's coming" kind of slow ascent to the truth. Also if you don't continue this story I'll be sad at the idea you're going to make me waste time thinking about because, let's face it, I'm way better at telling other people how to write than how to do it myself! ALL RIHT THE SLEEP DEPRIVATION MADNESS HAS SET IN GOTTA GO (this isn't even the longest review I've written today) |
