This was a really lovely part. Each character’s feelings are so clearly shown. I really feel sorry for Melissa; she’s a great character and you have to sympathize with her. The nightmare scene with her was very well done; I could imagine it perfectly. And indeed… there is something up with the boys in her family. x3

Omar’s situation is remarkably similar to Reuben’s. This sounds like the makings of a perfect friendship.

This storm’s been keeping everyone at a standstill for a while now. I’m very curious to know what will happen once it lets up. Reuben’s certainly going to have to make a choice of some sort.

[shadow=purple,left,300]Thanks for the review! ^_^ Melissa now seems so far away from the image of the cheerful, optimistic mom who sees Rohane off in the NQ2 game proper. XD

If Rohane came home for some healing now... XD

Comics
A Really Secret Valentine by Peri0neo
I like this - nice clean art and a good idea.

Razzle Dazzle – Episode VII by Khestrel
I didn't find this one as good as the one before (Friend Bob) but I'm not sure why. Love the way you draw your Kougra though

The Bunker by Huba
Mmmmm, apple pie... I like your series idea and I think it's got great potential, well done

Our 7: Heart Attack? by Storygirl
Clever play on words

Refugees by Huntress
Funny I was expecting the punchline to be Shad & Saura all pinkified, but I love the idea of Jhudora making money out of it.

Common Mistakes by Yomaru
It's kind of the same joke as someone else's comic from a couple of months ago where the Shoyru used the mynci as the mallet, but different enough to be different... Um... that didn't make sense, did it? Sorry! I liked the comic, the art was good and it was funny

Who Says Lennies Can't Fly? by Blacebrander and M3rcuri
Predictable but good. I'm not sure why, but I realy love the panel with all the equations in the background. Really good art

Continued Series
Chronicles of the Court Rogue: Jealousy by Nimras
Nim, sorry I didn't get online to review all the parts separately. I really enjoyed the story, and it was nice for it to be set outside Meridell - seeing Jeran out of his comfort zone is always fun ((And Pam cuts off half the post cuz she just realised she'd been reading ahead and the last bit's not out yet... Doh!))

I am beginning to enjoy the little bits of Fratimer�s past that start off each chapter. Though it would be nice if they related to the story that follows. Or maybe they do, and I, as usual, simply miss the connection. ^^;

I encountered wild petpets and grew more as I reached longer distances.

He grew more Petpets? o_0

Ohh, the Fountain Faerie. I like how his sister doesn�t recognize him even though she changes so much herself. Poor Fratimer. His new look is kind of suitable, but I hope things look up for him soon. Although I have a feeling it�s only going to get worse� I can imagine quite a bit of teasing about Grey, too.

Thanks for the review
I meant he grew more as a person/pet xD not growing more petpets lol. That should've been two different thoughts. And the little bits reffer to him/his character. It should all fit together at the end

Legend Seekers: Mysterious Magic – Part Five by Yuka
I was a bit confused with the events in the tunnel. Didn't Pemero want to be back with the Faeries, or was he not aware it was them? Then, did the Faeries give up chasing them, or could they not follow through the tunnel?

Jen's story is quite interestingly going on. I'm not sure who that Faerie is, but I don't think she's good. I wonder what she's going to find. Part of me thinks she's going to find Pemero. But I don't know. Also, where did the tree come from? I thought everything was destroyed when the volcano erupted.

Another Hero’s Journey: Part Six by Kat
One thing that got to me was you say Reuben had only met Olivia several hours ago, yet later you say that he had known Omar for only three days. I know days are made of hours, but that didn't seem right to me the way you said it.

Overall, it was another great part, I think. Some of the earlier paragraphs seemed a bit over-described, but for the most part it was all good. I once more found myself liking Melissa's character; it was all very touching to read her part.

Chronicles of the Court Rogue: Jealousy – Part Seven by Nimras
Another wonderful part, Nimras. Again, not much to say, as I loved it as I have loved the rest. I think, if I may make a prediction, that the new thief might just be...none other than...Elyjah.

I apologize for not having the time to do any other reviews.
This past week has been anything but as planned.

Another Hero's Journey: Part Six
by precious_katuch14

It may be just me, but there seems to be some time inconstancy in this chapter.

He had only met her several hours ago, and then she started spouting about seeing his brother, about destiny, and all that stuff that Reuben didn’t care about.

He didn’t even want to think about what his mother was probably doing back home, with her elder son now missing for three days, stranded in bad Meridellian weather.

Poor, poor Melissa. I am rather surprised that no one back in town seems to have put two and two together for why he left though. I mean, it seemed a fairly widespread thing before, though I suppose that might be influenced because we were seeing it though Ruben’s eyes.



Legend Seekers: Mysterious Magic - Part Five
by yatomiyuka

At least it seems like Jen is getting somewhere, even if it’s taking her longer than she’d probably like.

As for the dive out of the tunnel down to the ground below, I’d be screaming my head off. Whether in delight or terror I don’t know.



Sword of the Shapeshifter: Part Four
by sarahleeadvent

Poor Kass, I think he’s had a rough time of it.

Tenultra was an adept in the art of doing ‘kitten eyes’, and she employed the talent for all it was worth.

*snickers*

Evil chapter ending, Darigan facing the Three.




The Mirror of Memories: Part Four
by sytra

"I wouldn't want to make you clean yourself," she told me as she scrubbed the top of my head.
Uh, what if I wanted to clean myself?

The stuff of nightmares Sytra, I tell you. The stuff of nightmares.
I hope she doesn’t get caught in too many of her own lies, she’s already tripping herself up.

The Adventures of Trina: The Return of the Staff - Part Three
by ummagine3284

You know that horrible feeling when you’re screaming “don’t do it!” but the person in the story does it anyways? Yeah, that’s this set of characters.

Please take off your backpack when demanded so we all can fit inside.”

I think you mean ‘demand’, since ‘demanded’ is past tense.

My day can’t get any worse, can it?

Famous last words…

[Nimras]

Twist of Fate: Part Three
by mandapanda9188

Ohh… Nice twist with the Fountain Faerie’s kiss of greyness. (Though my love of grey Krawks might not be giving me the right emotional impact there.)

I love how Vachello recognized him immediately, and right away gave him a big hug and love. Awww…

[Nimras]

Catching Up: Part Two
by extreme_fj0rd

Ohh, one of the teams is going to have an extra member then, won’t it? With the seventh Dark Faerie.

And more bumper cars. The constant impact can’t be good on those racers. I love the thing about the earth Faerie complaining about how it cloud racers takes place in the clouds as opposed to a forest!

[Nimras]

A Really Secret Valentine
by peri0neo

Hehehe, the magically vanishing mysterious Valentines Day card. And if you live in a place where you don’t have sidebars… hmmm…


Razzle Dazzle - Episode VII
by khestrel

Whoa, there’s a lot happening in this comic. Lots of text, but a very cute concept. ^^


The Bunker
by hubadawaha

Apple house! Though it is just me, or does the very large Turmac in close proximity to the fruit house spell bad things right from the get go?

Our 7: Heart Attack?
by flowerchick81

Cute pun. Attacked by many hearts.


Refugees
by ssjelitegirl

Jhudora might be onto something there. Though the idea of Shad living in a pink, frilly, heart decorated house… *snerk*


Common Mistakes
by blublah81

Arnold commonly mistakes gals for guys?


Who Says Lennies Can't Fly?
by m3rcuri

*points to Bruce* Tell them that only real birds can fly… Love the catapult. ^^

[sarahleeadvent]

Thanks you very much for the reviews, and for the flattering comments therein!

I may have missed an earlier note about Tenultra’s size, but it surprised me when she turned out to be only the height of Illusen’s ankles.

Actually, when standing on all fours she is about knee-height, but 'by your ankles' somehow sounded a little better in that line. And the acute awareness she has of her own size helped to engender the exaggeration.

Thanks!! I loved writing about Vachello- his innocence always puts a smile on my face

[shadow=purple,left,300]I saw the inconsistency too. XDDDD Sorry 'bout that. I wanted the cave encounter to last a day originally, but I lengthened it and I think I left out a few parts in editing. XD

But thanks for the reviews. ^_^ [/shadow]

I'm glad you all liked it Got the idea from all the MVC restocking I was doing at the time I plan to get some reviews in for the current NT issue... I read a few that I really liked Thanks again!
