You just include a mention of Dostoievsky here? Are you for real? Can you get any better?
Author's Response: Is that a compliment or a complaint? Just wanted to throw in one of those references. |

Excellent from start to finish. I'm glad you killed off Steven and used him as a plot point for Conner instead of a full on big bad type. Given the villains we've seen before, using another college student seemed a bit anticlimatic. I also thoroughly enjoy how you write Conner's "adopted" family. Laurence's pride in Conner's ability and heart was very touching as was Colleen's worry about the life Conner was leading. I love when I can completely agree with both sides of an argument. I also like that the entire family is so darn perceptive. Laurence picked up on who Angel was in the hospital immediately. Colleen can easily tell if her kids are lying, even Erin can tell when she's being played. Your way of awakening Angelus was perfect!! We all too often forget that Angel battles with his dark side every minute of every day and the fact that he slipped for one split second and let his guard down was inspired writing. It's also nice to know that just seeing his child happy was all it took. I'd swear you were a parent yourself b/c you have the family dynamic down perfectly.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks for the review. Steven was originally going to be a throw away villain, but some reviews and e-mails showed he was kind of a popular villain. Then he became a possible big bad. But, as you noted, he wasn’t quite heavy enough to be a big bad. I too agreed with both Connor’s adoptive parents. They should be worried but they should also be proud their son has such a big heart. Connor’s prefect family is, for lack of a better word, cool. They love each other and know each other, so when someone’s acting oddly they (a) notice and (b) always give that family member the benefit of the doubt. I thought some would find the way Angelus woke up anticlimactic, but it plays upon the same theme that the Shanshu meaning from “Running on Faith” does. Family and children, the things we take for granted, are the source of our meaning, our future, and our pure happiness. Slipping off to sleep while his son is so happy is all it takes for Angel to let his guard down. I always wondered why Connor’s very birth didn’t give Angel that one moment of true happiness. Thanks for your comment about my having the family dynamic down pretty well. I actually do not have any kids, just great parents and a great sister. Thanks again! |

I liked the wrap-up to it all (with Steven Radinsky, etc.). Also, it left me feeling pretty sorry for Connor (the fact that he had to kill again). I'm glad that you aren't just cutting off Connor's "parents"..... And also, I loved the ending. I cannot WAIT to see the next part--things always seem to get a lot more interesting when Angelus comes around. The whole thing was great..... Please add more soon!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I wanted to keep Steven around as a returning villain, but he's more or less a noe trick pony. Besides, I kind of have a different idea about an evil mastermind. Connor's faux parents will be in the picture for the forseeable future. I'm hoping to have some fun with Angelus. |
