@Keroko: there's no way for it to be a total carbon copy. I am certain that you can talk of the central themes and follow the general sum of paths without issue. An anime-like progression will simplify that process. At any rate, would you be able to imagine Deed and Otto to actually talk to the delinquent Teana just like? I mentally see bouts of awkward silence in front of Teana while they stare at the person that gave those two a beating a few years back!
(come to think of it, it makes for decent comedy material as they observe the oddities of Subaru's comrade)

Well, actually Otto and Deed have become much more talkative in SSX.
Anyway, as it stands Sein and Wendi aren't really fit in their roles either. I noted Otto because she is one of the more shy ones among the numbers. Well, her and Nove, but I think we can safely say that Nove would make a really bad Ryou. |

Well, it's most certainly not too late at this point to replace all sein and wendi with otto and deed. I am not sure how their mentality will develop though. Whatever it is, this is already going to make S1 ep 18's lunch showdown pretty much of hell on earth if we add even moar competing 'numbers' sitting at that table staring at Tomoy... Teana. There will be shitstorm by the very end of that episode too given that casting.
EDIT1: I thought about it even more, and here be a radical solution and give Cinque the role of Ryou, then leave wendi be. There's no perfect fit of personality anyways, so why not let the story tell itself and given how that these numbers are under one same roof supposedly, things can get really hectic when the issue of the fight to be the chosen path arises.

Great job as always, it seems like Fate is the responsible of all that mess, and now that Nanoha got RH I bet you have plans of letting her join Fate in the near future. It's good that she's safe now. Also the plot is becoming more interesting. Cuídense y sigan sonriendo |

Still feels a little fillerish to me, but at least you're introducing the core of the baddies (I'm assuming that Packard is one of the "core" members, or at least she'll be enough of a threat on her own) and making me like them less and less the more you write them. I feel a twinge of irony with Eileen praying that Vivio will save them. Foreshadowing, perhaps? Hmmm.

I wonder if we'll see Packard again. It'd be odd if we didn't, but I think you could still get away with it. She's only a corrupt customs official, as of right now. Too bad for the kid; he was almost cool too. Oh well. Definitely still filler here, but I think the customs scene was necessary for Pacer's development. We'll certainly see, won't we? Still really liking the story thread.

It looks like Hayate's managed to prove to them that she really is good. Let's hope she's not just faking it all, that would suck. That new cyborg is an ominous foe, let's see how they take her down. Welcome Back! Quote:

You're going to need more than a stick if you want to gain momentum before Force arrives. Like a racecar perhaps.
I hope you can manage it, I really do, even if it means writing a whole chapter a day until you're done. Quote:

That was part of the argument (from the 'not-going-to-be-a-mother' side)! It all began when someone came in the Studio saying that Nanoha would be 25 years old in Force (who knew bringing up someone's age could create a war?) I could care less if they had a biological child, though. But it would have been interesting if they did...

Cute story indeed, I like the small amount of angst that Nanoha has about Vivio. I don't think that's a good similarity for Yukari to have. My favorite line was the "Liar, liar, hams on wire"

To get a small point of business out of the way- A week or so ago, the subject of being unable to display an umlaut for the gratuitous german that crops up when writing Belkan. Not a problem, really, the accepted solution is to simply add and "e" after the designated vowel. As in, "Stahlkoenigen" Hope this helps other writers of bits of Belkan out there.
[QUOTE=DezoPenguin;2277057]*slowly pokes the plot along with a stick* Spoiler for Stahlkönigin--Chapter 11:
Been watching this for a while, lurking from the shadows. I've commented some on your other fics on FFnet (Geshron). This line ( "Pray," she finally said. "Pray to Her Majesty to keep us all safe." ) does make me feel the law of unintended consequences is about to strike our foes, where a little thread of their plot begins to unravel (but not before necessitating the "Big Dramatic Showdown!!" ) To whit- Eileen's car? I seem to remember that it was left behind? Or did our fiendish fiends think of that detail? Abandoned car leads to police checking the house, asking neighbors, talking to Georg, and getting a funky reaction? Or giving Georg the chance to call for help, since actively refusing to talk to the police would ensure a closer look at the situation from the authorities. It remains to be seen what might crop up on Teana and her partner's end of course, a likely source of a breakthrough. A small possibility could be... Vivio visiting a sick classmate, and finding the house deserted? With neighbors not seeing anyone all day yesterday. (I think Eileen and Billy have been kidnapped for close to 24 hrs. as of the end of chapter 11? ) Your fiends are indeed fiendish- I find myself fearing for the continued safety and well being of Eilleen, Billy, baby to be, and Georg... depends on just how bloodthirsty and ruthless the terrorists are, since it appears they want to use a major orbital weapons system (Einherjar in the sky?) to commit mass mayhem. They never blindfolded their prisoners... Of course disguise magic would do the trick. Packard... is a bitch. I hope she meets a deserving end... Leaving Packard alive is certainly the most convenient option, since trying to arrange an accident for the both of them on his own exposes Pacer to much greater levels of detection. I do hope you'll carry on through to the end, and leave any revisions for new canon (if any) until the first version is done. |
