"Love's No Secret" Reviews/Comments [ 13 ] | Reviewed By: sayuriran [MediaMiner Member] On: February 16, 2006 21:55 CST Rating(s):Overall Rating: 8 of 10 Comment/Review: I enjoyed the fiction, I really did. I just have one major problem that made it hard for me to keep reading. Isabella is a man. Referring to him as a she disturbs me, but hey, whatever works for you. It just really kind of bothered me because I have a personal peeve about things like that. ( You should have seen me when I saw Ziosite turned into a female on Sailor Moon dubbed episodes! ) Overall, good fic! A beta could clear up the little mistakes, so no worries there!

I enjoyed this, agreeing it would make a fine enough one-shot piece, but planning chapters is also fine and I'll look forward to them. This is my favorite ParaKiss pairing, and you did them justice, which I thank you for. It's been difficult finding ParaKiss fanfiction, especially George/Isabella, so I'm very glad my first find was one as nice as this. Please keep up the good work, and also think about looking into a proof/beta-reader just for a second opinion. They are God-sents for any writer.

Really it wouldn't even need the last two if you screwed around with the first one (please don't) I CAN'T wait for the next chapters! It's to bad this relationship is doomed to end... although it could start up again when they're in london*shrug* Anyway, keep up the good work! P.s. I laughed so much when I read those nitpicky posts that were pointing out EVERY SINGLE GRAMATICAL ERROR (most of which didn't even matterXD)

Anyways, I love this fic and I LOOOVEEEEE paradise kiss. And I was kind of wondering why you kept calling isabella a she even though he's a he. Oh well I guess it's your opinion to what you want to call him. I still consider him a he. yeah and please update!!! you left me hanging at the end

It's very emotional and it's so....... Isabella...... I will point out a few nitpicky flaws, so that your fic can become even better: "She said clutching the dress close to her chest." She said, clutching the dress close to her chest." "She stared at her and George's reflection" This is a little awkward. Maybe "She stared at the reflection of herself and George" would be a little more clear. "She hugged herself tightly, feeling comfortable in the dress that he'd made her with his own hands. A dress that was made for no one else, just her" This also is a little unclear and repetitive, although it is technically grammatically correct. Maybe "She hugged herself tightly, feeling comfortable in the dress George had made with his own hands. The dress made for no one else in the world." That would be a little more clear and less wordy without taking away any of the meaning and emphasis.

How precious! The pairing isn't something I would've thought of, but you made it work well, I think. Great Job, even if you left it there!

Like the reviewer before me, there was some grammar and spelling mistakes (though I disagree with a couple of the correction offered), but overall I thought it wasn't bad at all from a technical standpoint. It's definitely nothing a good beta reader couldn't double-check for you, and nothing that I felt detracted from the story.
With that out of the way, the critique:
I thought this was a lovely beginning for a story. I think you portrayed George spot-on, and the insight in Isabella's feelings for him was very bittersweet. The analogy she used in comparing George to the rose was beautiful, and to have it reappear at the end of the chapter was a wonderful image to leave us with.
The emotion was strong and well told, from George's reaction to the realization of her feelings to Isabella's critical eye when looking at her male face in the mirror after taking off her makeup.
I'm eagerly awaiting an update to see how you proceed; you've done a wonderful job so far. ^_^
