why did you stop? this was so interesting. so very different from all the other Constantine fics. come on, you can't just leave us hanging. you have to update. you're killing me

I remember reading this years ago when you wrote it at such young age and posted on Astral Light. I loved it and lately got on a Constantine kick again this week. I was really hoping to find this story and lo and behold with enough Google search I did. (I could not remember the title;)This was one of the best Constantine fics I had ever read and if there were every a movie sequel this was the kind of stuff you wrote that I wanted to see. So many of the Constantine fics are ooc slash or ooc with other characters and yours was so IN character. So glad you kept it posted. Loved KR's Constantine and character of Angela Dodson. Maybe you will write another one some day ;) Have great weekend and great job on this

Fantastic fic! Everyone's in character and the story is a great mix of action, suspense and mystery. Although I do have to ask, is the Alicia Bennett investigation an integral part of the plot (other than Daemion influencing the killer)? I guess it's good to see Angela doing detective work, but so far, I haven't seen the importance of it in the context of the story itself. I still think it's brilliant though and you have quite a flair for Constantine fics. I hope you continue this. :)

Five years later, and I'm loving the story. Wish you would continue, but it has been too long to hope for an update. Maybe by some miracle there will be one so I subscribed to it anyway.

More?

I've loved your story so much. I know it's been years since you've updated, so I'm not really holding out hope for you to do so. I just thought it would be nice knowing after all this time, people still do appreciate your work.

Uh, any plans on updating this?

Wow, this is amazing!

:)

Written really well and totally in character,

You have a good talent.

It's nearing three years since you last updated so i won't bore you with pleads about updating but I'll let you know that if you do decide, I'll be ready to eagerly read and review :)

Hope you have a happy new year

x.

wow, i have to say that this is the best constantine fic ive read (and ive read quite a few!)

you've got the detective stuff down pretty well, it feels like im watching csi or some detective thing when im reading this, its really well thought out. im glad that you havent saturated the story with romance in the first few chapters but slowly building it up.

I think i might tear my hair out if you don't update soon! (but dont rush on my account..i love my hair too much)

can't believe you can just leave the story at that. haven't uploaded anything in a while but please- I am BEGGING you to put up chapters. There are too few Constantine/Angela stories of this rating and it'll be soo good to read this fic. It's brilliantly written and the plotline is really good. Please, please, please, please continue!

Ok, here goes. I've never been that good at the whole reviewing thing- at least, not the consistent-ness that good stories deserve- but I'm trying right now. I'm writing you a review because I love your story and hope that perhaps I could make a difference.

What's spurring me right now is only the fact that you're an active writer as of the moment. (I recently conversed with another talented author who unfortunately took leave from the fanfic world and left a story, a Constantine story actually, unfinished. Like many many others. I totally understood, but it's still sad. So I'm glad you still write!) And I checked the reviews this story has gotten and there was a recent one in 2008. (I'm not alone on this!) Oh, right, and because of the story of course.

I'm not someone who likes to jump between fandoms much. Rather, I'm the kind who likes something, and sticks with it until I can't any more. What one would call: having obsessions. So all in all, I really hope that you're not like me. If you are... then darn. Cause I know, I really do, how difficult it is to like something again. Actually- DOING that may not be so hard, but letting yourself do it, maybe. You don't want to drop what you're currently liking to immerse yourself in a different world no matter how much you enjoyed it. ...Or is all of this just me? o_O

Well, with that said- I don't know how I could convinced anyone to like Constantine again. You could easily say to me, "You're about 3 years too late!" and it'd be the truth. SIGH- I don't know why I suddenly liked Constantine so much after watching it for the 3rd time on my brother's new HD dvd of it, but yea... apparently I do. And all I find nowadays to quench my hunger are unfinished stories. Like this one.

So all I can do right now is review your story and hope for the best. Maybe someday. *shrugs* Who knows?

Anyways-! Sorry 'bout that. I babble a lot. I... uhm... where to start! o-o ...Your Constantine... is Constantine. Same goes for Angela. Same goes for all the characters, really. I read your rant about keeping characters true to themselves- in canon- and I say: God bless you. xD How they think, how they talk- it's in a way... unnoticeable. (I'll get back to that!) Despite the fact that this is a fanfic story and you're... a fanfic writer- I just... have to THINK to wrap my head around the fact that someone wrote these characters like this. Not the person who created Constantine, or the film's script writers- no, but a damn talented writer who captured the characters in such a way that it's... flawless. No other word to describe it.

I said "unnoticeable" because they're no glaring errors to the way they act that jars readers back and make them think, "Right, that's just THIS author's take on it". Ah, not that you don't give the characters your own... whatever-the-word-I'm-trying-to-think-of is. Arhg, how do I say this... The fact that you're writing these characters in your own story is proof enough that you can take already concieved characters and make them your own enough to carry on a story-! and have them believably REAL enough that... makes me have no idea what I'm talking about. Ha, no- but I really do mean that- gawd, you have such great characterization on these people that I'm in awe.

I do want to mention, since I'm talking about writing the characters, that I really like your take on the half-breed Chas. Post-death Chas to be more blunt. Because Chas as a half-breed... no one really knows what that's like. From the novelization, all we can pull from it is that Chas acts the same. But since you have more of him than about 3 lines- or any other author who wants to write half-breed Chas- you have to make up... more. Everyone'll have a different take. And I like yours. It makes sense- how he's the Chas everyone likes, but with divine knowledge. There's the air of confidence and mystic. As much as I like the bumbling-clumsy Chas sometimes, being an angel probably ages someone in wisdom more that they'll let on.

I don't even know what I want to say about the plot you have going here. Well, ok, I could mention that I DID read through all 13 chapters straight through, and... I suppose LIKE it enough to review. That should suffice in an explanation of why I love where things are going? There's a real mystery that goes a long with John and Angela's progressing relationship storyline. How much you indulge your readers! You're too kind.

Oh, and I like the layout to your fanfic website, which I thought I'd mention. I went there first cause you mentioned somewhere that you don't censored things. I think that only applies to the one-shot "For I Have Sinned"? (Which was... gosh, an entity in itself. I love your angst and imagery!) Anyways, I started reading this story there first, but it stopped at chapter 11. I got to read 2 more on but alas... it all stops at one point or another. But I hold more hope in you than others.

The Astral-Light forums is basically inactive, and most Constantine film orientated LJ communities are dead. And I know you've moved on to other fandoms, but just maybe. If you happen to watch the film again for some inexplicable reason and decide to revisit some old ghosts and mayhaps... post a new chapter-! Only if you want to, though. I'm just here- despite what I said in the beginning- to tell you that you've written a marvelous story and is truly an amazing writer. I really enjoyed reading what you have of this fic.

I'll be around in the Constantine-verse for some time, cause I just found a plethora of fics that aren't on this site and it'll take... maybe a few more days. Ahaha. Or, there's always rewatching the film with subtitles... hmm... Well, whatever the case- I'd always be thrilled to hear from you if you decide to update.

Great job, and keep up the great work. :3

Wow, I just read this entire story in one sitting! This was phenomenal, the characterizations are very realistic.

However, I did notice the date, will you be continuing this fiction in the future or will be it one of the uncompleted!

Please please say you'll update! Or at least I hope so!

"This night, sleep was an inept bedfellow who just couldn’t get inspiration to come."

This is the best line I've read in a very long time.

:D

I Love it, it wonderful the chracter description and wording is very nice

UPDATE SOON! PLEASE!
