Here it is... the sequel to Bubblegum Collision.
I must warn you. This story is dark. I deliberately did not use the
[Darkfic] flag when I posted it, because I have seen it too often used
as an excuse to go wildly OOC, and I dearly hope that I have stuck to my
characters on this one. Anyway, if you have a strong aversion to dark
fanfiction, you might not want to read this.
Remember, BGC is made for darkness. Give me blood, give me death. It's all
part of the program.
Story: 6. Part one of Bubblegum Collision was, to me, a few linked battles,
with Sylia receiving some support from the team between battles. Perhaps
starting the story JUST before the boomers rebelled could help. Show that the
Knight Sabers have a life besides killing boomers. Also, make sure it is
plain that the Knight Sabers do NOT know who they are up against until they
find out. The setup seemed like they were used to world wide rebellions.
Characterizations: 8 I was disturbed by the way the characters acted
throughout the first part, however this will mostly fall under the
descriptions department. One thing: The Knight Sabers are not the gods of
war in MegaTokyo, and the military can deal with nearly any large scale
problem much more efficiently than they can. They would likely be 'helping the
army out' in a war situation.
Grammar: 8.7 Grammar is well developed. Sentence structure is acceptable.
My only problem is the lack of spacing between paragraphs, which seems to be
an accepted typing format on the FFML.
Descriptions: 5 This is what killed it for me. The way the Knight Sabers
speak seems to be a tab basic for them. Also, if the characters are
experiencing emotions while peaking, make sure you tell us. Simply rewording
what the Knight Sabers say in this fic, as well as adding a bit more color to
the fight scenes could jump it from the current 6-7 rating to an 8 or 9.
Overall: 6.925
With a few revisions this has the potential to make the 8's or 9's easy. I
hope I've been of help to you.
