Reviews for When New York City's Tears Dry
Queen of Spiritual chapter 1 . 1/29/2010
Wow... I remember when that happened with the WTC. I myself was in college at the time too, but out where I live and they also canceled classes too as I remember, so my teacher told me to go home for the day, which I did. Brings back memories, doesn't it?

I love the story! It's now been almost 4 years since 911, but I remember everything so clearly. I live in a suburb of Chicago and I remember worrying about a plane crashing into the sears tower. I am so greatful that none did.

I just finished reading the hole thing and I really love it I hope it turns out just as well in real life. I once heard a saying that said most things will change and some will stay the same. This story is the true meaning of that phrase. GREAT JOB

I loved this fic! It was so sad and sweet, and what the BSC girls and your other characters were thinking, the whole world was thinking as well. I liked this enought to a) put it in my favorites and b)have it inspire a fic of my own (("Ground Zero" in the Futurama section)) GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Gijinka Renamon chapter 5 . 5/17/2002
This is very touching. I'm also very pissed at the ways the Taliban oppressed women.

GGGRRRRR!

I WILL KILL THEM!

Yami Gijinka Renamon: Woah! Calm down girl! I mean we're all girls here, but that doesn't mean you have to beat someone up!

Me:(takes a deep breath) You're right. Anyway, good job!

I knwo this is a long review but Please read this through. I couldn't read this story for awhile because it hurt to badly. I needed to move on. But you know, with a tragedy you can't stay away.

God bless the USA. God bless all justice loving people. GOd bless all those innocent. God please help the misguided see the light.

I love how you address the tragedy in terms of characters. I know it can help sometimes, and I think your story helped some others who need to get through The tragedy.

The entire nation, the entire world, lost on September 11th. The entire nation was together in the WTC and the Pentagon.

But the entire nation is also indebted to the innocent afghanis who died. I know that collateral damage is inevitable in war and that we did our best, but we are still indebted to the innocent Afghanis. Add at least 100 more to the list of people whose lives the terrorists are responsible for.

I know at least someone is going to review back and say, princessskywalkerorgana, innocent lives are innocent lives. My answer is, I know that. All we can do is do our best to avoid collateral damage, and pay back the debt by rebuilding afghanistan.

Terrorism is never the answer. No religion condones terrorism. Osama Bin Laden! Mohammed Atta! you also flew a plane through the Quran. You maligned the name of a pure religion.

You are destroying Kashmir, America, Palestine, Israel, (Forgive me if I forgott nations which I am sure I did) and most of all you are destroying Islam!

Great! I'm glad you added a new chapter! I really like this story, and it shows that the NYC tragedy really touched you personally too. I can relate, because I was actually in NYC last spring and it seems to real because I was JUST there!
Ashley chapter 3 . 1/29/2002

that was really, really good!
YellowRoseOfTexas chapter 1 . 12/2/2001
'Tis very good! Even though I still don't completely know who Mona is. At first, I thought she was a future BSC member I didn't know about, but now I realize that she is from "The Fab Five" (whatever that is... anyway, I still like her.)

You notice I'm always sounding confused when I write reviews and such. Not that your story was confusing. Not at all. It flowed very well and I thought it had a very powerful message about people helping people. Especially the part where all the girls join the many New Yorkers who were giving blood that day. Even Kristy, who mentions blood as something that grosses her out in her earlier BSC books. (That would have been an interesting thing to mention, btw. Perhaps you still can throw it in. Its always neat to refer back to the old books. Sort of reminds you who your reading about.) But, anyway, I totally enjoyed reading this. I could never write a story like this... so I admire you for it and I admire your work. Excellent writing! Great story!

S'okay... The reactions are good. However, at the time this is set, they didn't know half of what is in this story... Still, not bad.
synergy018 chapter 1 . 10/12/2001
Good story...just a few quick things you may not be aware of...the Pentagon is located in Arlington, Virginia, not Washington, DC. The United States Naval Academy is in Annapolis, Maryland and is about 30 minutes northeast of DC. I really don't think that Janine would be the type to attend Navy, but she seems like the type to be attending MIT or something. Keep writing! I'm working on my first fan fic and hope that you'll review it when it comes out. Great story plot!
megan chapter 1 . 10/12/2001
