"Absence" Reviews/Comments [ 84 ] | Pages (6): [ « ‹ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] | Reviewed By: Project2501 On: October 04, 2002 18:05 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 9 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 9 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Kirika, you really know how to create an emotional "rollercoaster". Chapter 58 stands as a premier work of fanfiction within itself, though I could not honestly discount a single chapter, paragraph, or sentence throughout the entire work. Absence stands as the greatest sailor moon fan fiction ever imagined, if not the most detailed and expressive anime fanfic ever. I honestly can not wait until you start on your next project!
You truly have a gift in regards to your creativity. Perhaps you should direct your efforts towards a professional career as an author. I am a published author (non-fiction for me, but I do know great work when I read it), and I can clearly see your great talent for writing and expressing yourself. Keep up the great work!
And by the way; yes, the FF.net admins are jerks for tossing your 700+ reviews. Also, props to Bill over at reiandusagi.com for pointing me towards this site, as I was suffering from fanfic withdrawl without regular updates of this amazing tale. | Reviewed By: NovemberBlues On: October 04, 2002 01:11 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 9 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: i give it a 10 because Kirika-san make the storey so thrilling and suspenful and yet she did not forget to add the love and romance into it too.and i actually cry when usagi choode moma over rei... and i don't cry very often...Great fics. hope to read more. | Reviewed By: Nipala On: October 03, 2002 18:22 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Great, kirika. Have been reading this fic since last feb but never commented until now. Shame on me. >. | Reviewed By: Tenkaichi On: October 03, 2002 01:56 CDT Comment/Review: Lol, I'm not even going to use the rating system because this story is more than a "10" Kirika ^_^. This really tops the story, I enjoyed reading the fight scenes (so dramatic!).
98% done, eh? We're happy to know the ending, but we're sad that it's going to end...boooooh. :(
I'll be waiting for that last chapter, ja ne!

I love this fic. It's the GREATEST in the ENTIRE world!
The entire thing has been just one emotional roller coaster. I had no idea if I should be crying of beaming in happiness. I love you fight scenes, I can see it ALL in my mind's eye.
It was total anguish for me to wait for you to update. *shakes fist furiously* Stupid idiotic ff.net. It's lost a great author and a great fic.
I think it would be GREAT if this fic could be illistrated or animated...but I think it would just take away from what it is.
Well I'm going to go and sulk until you update. *grins like a maniac* Or go and read the entire thing again!

I have been following this fic since day one...and I must say, you've set a new standard for Rei and Usagi...wow! And this last chapter rocked! I cant wait to read the ending.... Holy crap, this fic makes me so happy. =) Good Work Kirika. I cant wait until you start on your NOIR fic, that is the perfect series for your style of writing.

Though......I was so right about the death scene with the mushy last words!!! But it's a happy ending!!! I won't even have a go at Mamoru just to show my thanks!! Now even the evil FF.net can't stop you!!! So I'm happy it all ended well, those two idiots got slashed but I think Pluto deserves a mystery admirer wouldn't you agree???

she really needs a vacation. this fic is awesome. | Reviewed By: s16thunderjet On: October 02, 2002 00:15 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: you know... i look really stupid right now... i'm in the library at the university, and i'm crying my eyes out! people are looking at me like i'm some freak... and i think someone's already called the librarian to escort me out of the library and into a mental institution...
i'm one of your faithful fans from fanfiction.net... i would like to say the ff.net has just effectively lost one of the best writers i've ever come across... and arguably the best shoujo-ai fanfic in the world... and if anybody out there disagrees with me... i'm ready to come at them with balled fists!!!
i didn't really see this one coming... honest! i thought you were gonna go right ahead with usagi and mamoru ending up together... and rei's just gonna hang around them forever... but thank you for letting usagi and rei be with each other! it's like... you know... i kind believe in love again... :) i know i'm being silly already... and that this is an extremely long review... but thank you very much!
the fight scenes were incredible! i dunno where you get your ideas and your visuals but they're really great! someone should make a doujinshi out of your story... or maybe someone should animate this or make it a movie!
truly... if i could rate your fanfic higher than those allowed on this site... there wouldn't be enough zeros on the planet! i love your story! and now i'll be asking permission to print it... well, i'll wait for the final two chapters... but could i please print it? and then i'll have it hard bound! :) please? so i could read it even without my pc and people like those from ff.net won't be able to censor me? please?
gah! i've babbled long and hard... sorry about that... great chapter! great story all in all... i'm really axcited about your noir fanfic... hope it's as great as this one... but i know i won't have to worry... anything you write is incredible...
two thumbs up! if i had more then believe me, they'd be up, too! | Reviewed By: SgAltima On: October 02, 2002 00:03 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Goddamn you, Kirika!! I couldn't believe it. "A Moment In Time" ends with Mars facing the grim reaper, and then you fool us for a minute with Cape Boy!!! Did you relish the fact that we would be flying on Cloud 1,204,592 that Rei didn't kick the bucket and then fall all the way to the damn ground with her dying?!?! Damn you for making me cry. :)
I'm a jittery, emotional mess, and it is ALL YOUR FAULT!!! You are my heroine. :) And for the record, I thought you were actually gonna let her die. You are so good... I didn't see the resurrection via ginzuishou coming at ALL... Christ, if there was this much angst in my life, I'd kill myself. *laughing*
I would have paid to read this. I wish I *COULD* spend all my money on Absence in the form of mangas (or dojouinshi (sp?)), videos, and action figures!
As for my opinion, if half the fan fictions in existence came close to the depth and quality of Absence, the world would be a better place. If anyone is having a moment in time, it is you.
Kudos, Kirika. I can't give you enough compliments.

so many tears over a story in my entire life! The
action in each scene was crafted with such
diligence, the powerful imagery became almost
surreal. I was riveted from beginning to end!
Its conclusion was so stunning, I had to go
back and re-read it just to make sure I
understood it right!
I only noticed a wrong choice of words somewhere
near the end... there may have been more errors,
but I was too busy reading to bothered by them.
*Cheeky grin* I'll have to pay closer attention
next time. | Reviewed By: Sailor Nimnard On: October 01, 2002 21:07 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Great chapter!! Nice to see you writing this

This is one of the best shojo-ai fanfics I've ever read, and best of all, it took me nearly 8 hours to get through. *grin*
I loved the action sequences - usually romance is romance and action is action but you've managed to blend the two quite well.
And the relationship wasn't all candy floss and marshmellows. Rei had real issues, Usagi was torn between two people, Mamoru wasn't a bastard...happy sigh. Good characterisation overall, with perhaps the exception of Michiru, but I understand that.
Intruiging plot, as well, you actually managed to make me doubt that Rei and Usagi would get together many, many times.. the Chibi-Usa thing might have been the sole easy fix cliche.
You have a lovely style with your words, especially your subtle wording to show things to come such as Rei's early obsession/insanity. The only glaring problem you seem to have is with apostrophes - you tend to say princesses' instead of princess's, which kind of connotes that Rei has multiple princesses...
I loved the little ficlet you had at the end, and I can't wait for you to continue this story, especially more R/U interaction - they didn't get nearly enough niceness before you baited us with the mounds and mounds of angst - angst is always good, but I have a very strong feeling they've suffered enough. THEY DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!
...
Which, I suppose, says quite alot for how much I respect this story. Thank you very much for writing and sharing. NOW WRITE MORE!
Ahem. What I meant to say is, "Please write more, because I love this story to bits and I need more." Thanks again. | Pages (6): [ « ‹ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] |
