Damn, that was good. 5/5

Loved it, thanks for sharing

good story

Very nice coda to the movie. You're absolutely right that it ended where it should have ended, though you know Anderson passed because you see her walking with her helmet during the voice over, but this very much covers how I imagine this would have gone.

Thanks for writing.

A very interesting addition to the movie, the missing part at the end between when she gives up the badge and the end when she walks out. As Dredd said Shes a pass.

"Yaayy!" (clap clap clap) "This is the moment I had hoped for!"

That's exactly what I said and did when I got to the last sentence. No exaggeration, I even clapped exactly three times in rapid succession because I was so excited. I love the movie "Dredd" I just watched it for the nth (lost count) time today, and I don't typically re-watch movies. Despite my love for Dredd I always felt the ending was missing the moment where Anderson actually got the badge. I mean, I realize it would have messed up the mood of the film if they actually did it but I still craved seeing Anderson get the badge.

I love that you filled in that moment and I liked how you described what Anderson was thinking when she walked away. In the film it was hard to tell if she was disappointed that she couldn't be a judge or too upset at the way the law works to want to be one anymore (since she had to execute someone who turned out to have a wife and son and since she got yelled at for freeing a victim), so I think it was important that you included that.

Your characterizations were realistic and in-line with what we saw of the pair in the film. I also loved the comparison between Dredd's voice and a bone saw. Also seeing more of Anderson's rookie enthusiasm next to Dredd's grim mannerisms was a nice contrast. I like how you played that up. The bit where Dredd smoothed over Anderson's loss of her primary weapon was cool too, it was all cool. Good work :)

PS Did you write that judge's oath or is it from the comics?

Just the short story I wanted. The movie ended just right, but I wanted a little bit more. You did it, gave me the little bit extra I craved.
You make every word count. And you really add extra life, emotion, and depth to everything you touch. Thanks.

A nice little epilogue to the Dredd film.
Your writing is superb and this scene wouldn't have been out of place in the film.

I agree wholeheartedly that the film captured the essence of Judge Dredd perfectly, and am hoping there will be a sequel, does anyone know if this will happen? the Cursed Earth storyline would have been good to see on film, but after reading a 70's post apocalyptic novel Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny, I realised we will never see this tale on film, as they nicked the plot from this novel (A biker has to take the plague vaccine to Boston from California).

Loved the short story and will eagerly devour anything you write.

Loved it.

Short, sweet, and well written. This is definitely upper quality.

Two sentences in and I was laughing. The description of Dredd's voice was so perfect I could hear it in my head. Then when Anderson said she'd lost her primary weapon and he said, "You kept your head," I had to stop reading and start reviewing. I don't know if you meant to be funny or ironic with that line, but I love it, because it's a perfect acknowledgement that Anderson's primary weapon is her mind.

Totally Perfect. the net needs more Dredd like this.

Here goes. loved this little story. it shows anderson as real green and a little unsure. great start to the arc. and you take dredd and make him more of a human than a just a grunting growling chin:) i like to watch the movie then read this. ok see you on the streets

Awesome

Great one shot! It's written exactly the way I would've imagined the conversation to be like :)
