Whitemiko12 chapter 8 . 7/11/2017 So Glad you finally updated! Can't wait to see what happens next! Gem is Raven isn't she? And WALLY! YAY! Great plot twist! At first I thought it was Roy Harper (for reasons) but then Artemis was brought in and that cleared it up! Update soon! |
Annimo chapter 7 . 6/30/2017 I'm so curious to know how this story goes! Congrats! :) |
Guest chapter 7 . 12/16/2016 Hey! Really looking forward to the next update. I bet it's going to be totally awesome (lie the rest of the story so far) |
Whitemiko12 chapter 7 . 9/23/2016 Is the guard Wally West?! It is him! isn't it?! And Gem...is she Raven?! Awesome story by the way! |
Guest chapter 7 . 9/19/2016 Wow this is interesting, i hope you'll update this! I wonder are you really gonna live batman dead? Coz there are a lot ways of resurect him mainly "lazarus pits" and was gem abducted from her homeworld or did she lose her memories? Is this before she banished her father or after she banised her father? Will you show us he powers... Coz her powers are quite powerful like time manipulation... and in here she is well verse in combat. The death of batman would really strike a huge blow to all heroes but the legend of batman must continue. |
a JY fan chapter 7 . 8/15/2016 You have written a compelling story. I commend you for that. The plot is interesting and the character arcs are compelling. Your use of familiar YJ characters in unexpected settings is a good way to spice things up and stay away from over used tropes. I hope you continue to surprise me. However, you did ask for (constructive) criticism, so I am here to give you some. You over use the word apathetic to describe Gem. It gets tiresome to read apathetic over and over again to describe the same character. We get it! Here are some other words to consider using: callous, indifferent, passive, stoic, uninterested, motionless, unemotional. (i'm sure you can find others) Choosing the right word to describe a situation can make all the difference. That being said, if apathetic is the right word, then by al means use it! okay, what I'm about to type next are more suggestions than criticism. These are just my ideas on how you can show Gem's growing connection to her human side (that is if I'm correct in assuming Gem is raven and this is your is to have her contend with her emotions and human half). You have made the point that Gem seemingly does not care how her actions effects others or what others think of her. Many a times you have shown Gem to be unmoving in the face or any emotion. However, as she slowly starts to unravel her emotional barriers you should signal it to the outside world. Maybe have her hand clench or her eye twitch a little. I think movement should be the beginning signs of her humanism. At first, no one else needs to see these movements, they can be hidden from the outside world and revealed through Gem's point of view. Or you can even reveal these moments in a throw- away, stand alone, last minute sentences (sorry I don't know the actual term for these things) ex. [insert a scene where Gem is being yelled at or chastised in some way, maybe a reminder she doesn't fit in anywhere, idk your choice (but in the end she must be left alone)] "And no one was left to hear Gem make a heavy sigh and to see her walk back to her room; once again she was all alone." I don't know why, but private displays of emotions are such a big deal to me if the character is typically shielded. The next step of her development would be to have a hidden observer, like Wally, Robin, or Supergirl, notice the emotional display, the crack in Gem's stoic nature. It could be a private display like the scenario above or the character could notice Gem's fist clench in an argument. The character could notice a grimace that is unobservable to the character or situation (like if Gem was turned away from someone on that was saying something cruel and frowned a little and the hidden character saw the disapproval). Next would be a public display of emotion. It doesn't have to be big, but it should be easily seen by other and Gem must know this. An act of private kindness also hits me right in the feels. Showing that Gem acts one way in private and one way in public could also work. Like she's nice to a little girl because the little girls is: a) someone raven can connect with b) is someone that Gem sees as a mirror to herself c) by being nice to the girl Gem is giving someone else the kindness she never received d) she sees the girl as a that-could-have-been-me-if-my-life-was-better character (also, I don't really see a romance between Gem and another character would fit in the story well. Romance is a complicated emotion and although love is a very human emotion it may be too complex and the primary relationships that Gem establishes should be founded on friendship or mutual respect. Romance between minor or background characters would be better (like spitfire, or even chalant [even though I'm not at all found of Chalant]) These are just my suggestions. Take all, some, or none of them! What ever you do please continue this story! Thank you for your works and consideration, a fan |
