sinsandinsanity chapter 21 . 6/22/2015

I got the reference XD Hitchhiker's Guide all the way!

The chapter was fantastic, and Romeo's last appearance was suitably melancholy. As always, the references were terrific. Emotions ran high.

Okay, though, let's just talk about the story as a whole now. PenMagic, you took a HUGE burden on your shoulders when you started this- so many characters to work with, and your first SYOT as well, that's major! It is a feat to finish any SYOT on this website, but one with 76 tributes? That's something to be PROUD of. The biggest critique I can offer Time and Memory Warp is on the lack of character development, but by the end, most of the remaining characters had changed, and with 76 to start off with, any development is a feat. So, well done.

You left the last quote to Shakespeare himself 333 that's poetic beyond BELIEF! XD

Happy writing, Pen!

YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM SJKDFLKDSJF
I THOUGHT FOR THE LONGEST TIME THAT ROMEO WOULD MAKE IT TO THE FINALE AND THEN DIE, OMG I AM FREAKING OUT STILL

Okay, the POVs you chose for this chapter were PERFECT. And having such a big finale was fantastic- terrifying and chaotic but a lot of fun.

Phoenix was extremely sly at the beginning, hiding but then taking out Reid from her concealed position- and as the instigator of the battle, she lasted until the very end which is majorly impressive!
Sebastian's POV was sort of detached, not a lot of emotion but it came up a lot at the very end as he dIED UGH NO BREAK MY HEART WHY DON'T YOU DSKLFJk

They both died, Lorelei and Archie ended up dying almost right after one another, in the same place. By the same hand. ugh, the EMOTIONS LSKDJFKLSDOFIJER
I wasn't really attached to either of them, but man, this scene was powerful.

Apollo had the right idea, putting Aella out of her misery, but the internal technical stuff he was thinking about where to strike her was awkward. Just... he overthought it a bit too much, you know? There wouldn't be that sort of time. The scene was just a little off.

Nikki's pretty much heartless at this point, so her POV was mainly action. Good fight between her and Apollo!

And the finale of the finale (lol)- well done, getting Nikki out of it quickly and then Romeo and Phoenix brought the emotion into the final scene. A great ending note of the Games.
Chaos In Her Wake chapter 52 . 11/3/2013
Ok, I've put off reviewing for far too long, so I'm finishing up today! This review might be really disjointed because it's Top Ten interviews so the characters aren't the ones I'm used to seeing, but oh well. Sorry :/

I'm glad you chose to do interviews, as most authors skip them and miss the chance to remind us of who the tributes want to return home to and why they are how they are. It gave a break from the tension of the Games and showed us instead an entirely different sort of tension- the quietly, hopelessly watching and waiting kind. Nicely done. The POVs chosen were very good as well, and most personalities were clear for 500 words each- congratulations on that, it's difficult! I don't remember most of these people so I won't try to do commentary on every single one :P

Bren Castiel (for one thing, the name Castiel. XD) was a stand out. The reveal of Sierra's betrayal? Fantastic, and Bren's emotions were very clear.

Okay, I burst out laughing at Romeo's dad. The first thing he talks about is smell? Aw, ahaha, it was just amusing :') And the quotes made me squeal of course! XD

Vihn's dad was another emotional one, it had an entirely different feel to it because he was disappointed in his son and not just desperate for him to come home. You don't see that side of it often enough!

Helen Alphaeus was another interesting one, just because the family's culture is so different from the rest and the details were a lot of fun.

Happy writing (even though the story's done)! XD

Wow. I can't believe it's over. This was such an incredible story, and only the second SYOT I've followed that actually finished. Although you had grammar errors occasionally, they overall didn't detract from the amazing story. I like how you ended it with curtain call and Shakespeare, being a complete theatre nerd.
I'm glad Romeo won, he was my favorite after my tributes. You made the characters at the end so deep and just did such a great job.
I don't think you were on my author alert, but I'll definitely add you now. I can't wait to see what you do next, and good luck on NaNoWriMo!

great ending to the story! i'm so happy that i got to be a part of this!

For some reason all my fanfic notifications were moved to spam folders! Terribly sorry, but i'm glad my favorites made it to the end! I gotta hand it to you, when you started getting deep into each tributes personalities i started to care for each one and i was genuinely happy that Romeo won! Really glad that Vihn and Phoenix lasted as long as they did :) looking forward to the epilogue!

*sniff sniff*
great way to end the Hunger Games! very very happy to see that romeo won, and i'm both happy and shocked that phoenix came in second-probably the furthest that any of my tributes have ever gotten in the games. and the scene with her and romeo-you wrote it so perfectly!
Chaos In Her Wake chapter 51 . 10/14/2013
Aella: In past chapters, Aella wasn't much of a standout character. However, she is strong and her determination showed very well here. I'm sorry I didn't know her so well earlier! For having faded into the background of the Careers earlier, her survival is impressive.

Sebastian: As always, I love these boys! The sparring was a good idea, and you're reminding us of the Games' physicality. The tension between Romeo and Seb is rising now, not enough to be threatening right now but I'm still worried :/

Natane: It was time for her to go. I liked Natane, but as a quieter character she didn't get a lot of page time and it was harder to remember her. :( She was still good, thoug, and her survival was certainly impressive, especially after everything she was put through.

Vihn: I have liked Vihn for a while now, but since he too was a more average character it is a bit of a surprise to see him make it this far! A pleasant surprise, though :) He is holding up stoically to the lressure, but the guilt of killing could take him down before the finale.

Lorelei: This alliance is a really great one as well. However, Archie and Lorelei lean far too heavily on each other for everything. I like Archie better as a character, but his determination that Lorelei wins could be his downfall.

Great top ten! XD it's a good mix.
Happy writing!
Chaos In Her Wake chapter 50 . 10/7/2013
I am going to try and get you a few of the reviews that you deserve now, so here we go!

Starting off with Johanna, one of my absolute favorite characters in the canon series :) Her part was almost clinical in its detachment, but we did see quite a change happen in the world around her so it makes sense. Even then there was still a good amount of her personality showing through! The foreshadowing was fantastic, a huge fight will be amazing! Good luck writing a melee like that! XD

roMEO BABY AHHH
He and Sebastian, despite losing Giyran, have had one of the easier Games thus far. Reid is with them now, and I'm expecting a betrayal soon from him if he's ever well enough :/
As much as I love Romeo I feel like Sebastian has an equally good chance, if not better, at winning because he is more forward and less hesitant about surviving and fighting. :) My boys! Eep!

Good thing Phoenix ran away, not so good that Skyler went after :/ The fight between them was short and a little sudden, but good nonetheless. Skyler's last words were chilling.
Phoenix's fear is very well done and so is the pitiable hope that he holds.

Alexis and Vihn had one of the most formal alliance breaks I had ever seen XD I thought it was going to be simple, just a plotline... but wow, guess not! Poison in the water, Vihn! Augh! I'll miss Alexis, she was one of the remaining tributes that I liked a lot :( But Vihn is cool as well!

Reid isn't much of a personality, but he is a good man and just sort of average. I like that.
Good POV for him, not much going on but the tension level shot through the roof!

Happy writing!
Rikachan101 chapter 51 . 9/30/2013
wow, you really seem to be building everything up for the next chapter. although i am sad to see natane go, i do like how you included at least one death at the hands of the elements. i find that people are forgetting about that nowadays
gamings-reminiscence chapter 50 . 9/24/2013
Go Vihn! Sneaky, but you had to do what you had to do. Phoenix has pretty much become one of my favorite Careers for awhile now, so I'm glad she's still alive _

Sorry it's been so long since I reviewed... I'm at a weird place in life so I've had to handle some stuff. I'll message you later with a full review once I catch up O.o
Rikachan101 chapter 50 . 9/20/2013
i don't really know why, but i found this chapter to be very nice and refreshing, probably one of the best so far. i don't know why, because they were all excellent, but looking at this one...i can tell that shit's getting serious. Pheonix's paranoia, i can totally see that happening. and vihn poisoning alexis was quite sly, but nevertheless a surprise. i'm excited to see more, and equally shocked but happy that phoenix is still alive! keep it up!
Rikachan101 chapter 49 . 9/5/2013
great chapter! horrible deaths, i can tell that nikki's sanity is beginning to crumble (as i'm sure with the other tributes too). excited for the next chapter!
obsessivegirl73 chapter 48 . 8/16/2013
We're really getting close to the end here. Where are you moving to? I have no idea what this arena is/where it's from, would you want to tell me perhaps? ;P I think I might remember most of the tributes from here on out...that's pretty exciting. I liked Katniss' point of view, and I especially liked the detail about the arenas being on islands. That makes a lot of sense. Oh, I laughed at the "Who died and made you leader?" "Well, Seph did.". The careers are really cut down now.
Okay, I can't think of anything else, sooooo good job, looking forward to more! :D
