Reviewed By: Kasmi Kassim On: August 24, 2004 23:41 CDT Comment/Review: Hi. I am a fanfic author who happened to stumble upon your fic. Your writing is quite impressive, and I believe you have great potential. However, I just wanted to give you some friendly advice. I see that you wrote this from an American perspective. Most Americans believe what their government or media (or both) tell(s) them - that some countries are bad, their leaders are evil, etc. etc. But going from that perspective to engrain politics in a fanfic, however fictional, can create resentment from readers who see things in a different perspective. The fact that you used North Korea and Saddam and whatnot has potential to severely offend a reader who is not taught in an American way. You see, truth can be quite relative. I hope I did not offend with this review. Your writing, as I said, is very good and pleasant to read. However, please reconsider your audience and appropriateness of sensitive topic choices when writing in the future. Best regards, Kasmi Kassim
