Comments: Oh my gosh, this is one of THE Pokemon fanfics I truly like. I mean, I absolutely loved it so far! The whole thing with Faris and James, that was SOOO CUTE!!! I also liked the part where Faris lets Mewtwo go for the 2nd time. That was awesome. I love this story. It's romantic and it's gut-wrenching and has a lot of adventure. And, I'm wondering, do Misty and Ash get together in this, or are you not having them become a couple? I dun know. I hope you get the other chapters up soon. I absolutely want to know what happens to them next... ^_^
I'm glad you like it so much! It makes me happy to know that we've really done a great job creating this alternate world. We haven't really planned anything in particular for Misty and Ash; we'll probably hint at it, but they'll be long gone before anything like that could properly develop. (Yes, they eventually leave. This is Faris-tachi's story, after all ^_^) Right now, we're working on episode 7, but put bluntly, that episode seems to be cursed.... However, we promise that we WILL finish the series, no matter how long it takes.

Favorite TAG Character: It's a toss up between Faris (I luv the sarcasm!) and Starr (I can relate to her.. ^.^)
Comments: This has to be the best fanfiction I've ever read. All of the other Pokemon fanfiction that I've read is all battling, which is all right, but has very little or no detail. You guys have written a piece of fanfiction that has more than just battling. The plot is great, and the characters are nicely written.  The site itself is easy to get around, which is another important factor. I love the fact that you've written profiles for your characters- it lets the reader know more about the characters before reading.  Keep up the good work!

Favorite TaG Character: Faris Greyweirs (Sami)
THANK YOU! (*glomp*) You're the first person to say Faris is their fave chara... I was starting to get depressed because I put a lot of effort into creating her as a great character, and yet she still plays second string to Starr when it comes to people's favorites... not that I resent Seiya-chan or anything, it just makes me a little jealous. Faris is a lot more than just "me" personified into a fictional character, although she does contain several elements of my personality. I could never become what she is.
Comments: Hi. I just finished chapter 6 (Yay!) Then, I went and read the ending theme for episodes 6-11. I re-read it. I went back through episodes five and six again. Noting all the refences to, not only Utena, but Evangelion. Noting references to Sephiroth. Now I'm worried.
I would be too, personally...
*Gets down on hands and knees* PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS INTO A TRAGEDY!!!!!! So many of my favorite stories and shows recently have turned into tragedies. PLEASE, I NEED SOMETHING WITH A HAPPY ENDING!!!!!!! Why people spend so much time making characters people will love and sympathize with, and then just tear them down...
Well, I really can't say anything for sure, because if I say anything, it'll give the whole ending away ^^;; However, if it helps, I WILL tell you that Starry and I already have the entire layout of the end (and TaG in general ^^; At first, we were writing whatever, just letting it go as it pleased... then we got serious) planned out. Does that help? ^^;

Favorite TaG Character: Raichu
Comments: Okay, this is what I think of your story.
I really like the fact that you don't have one plot spread out in the story.  That is not the way I like it, I like the fact that each chapter has a plot or two.
The characters:  Well, Raichu is my fav.  Don't ask me why, I just like pokémon that joke around.  Batts is okay though there's something about him that just does not get my attention.
Faris- Not what I call the best character in the world.  She seems a little cold-hearted, but I would expect that after what she went through.  Okay, you said as much detail, but this is as far as I can get....
Starr- My second fav. character.  She's that happy-go-lucky person.  She's almost like me.  Maybe just her mind.  I sort of think of weird stuff.  I wouldn't be suprised myself if I started to blurt out stuff that nobody else would understand.  I've got that same twisted mind.  Though, she is uncommon in some ways, like she gets really hyper when she eats candy, well I don't have to eat candy to get on a sugar rush; I create it myself.  I just somehow become really hyper (and at the weirdest times; at night) and start sprinting around the house.  While I'm doing so, I'm probably downloading a clip on the computer and I get so bored the sugar rush turns on... The whole story together is very interesting, fascinating, and original.  ^___^    Well that is pretty much all I can say, except I can't wait until the next chapter!
Doumo, doumo ^_^ I worked really hard on TaG. In my opinion, from here on it's just going to get better. You know, at first Starry and I weren't that serious about TaG... it was just a story about a couple of competent people replacing J&J. (Originally, they were supposed to be kicked out completely, instead of joining up with S&F.) We weren't planning on all this angst and destruction and basically really psycho stuff.... For sure, James and Faris becoming a couple WASN'T an original idea. (Way back when, I hated him... ^^ Now I've grown to forgive his clueless ways and adore him... hell, with Miki Shin'ichirou voicing him, who couldn't? ^_~) As for Faris, if you don't like her, I dunno what to say... I tried my best to make her a great character... someone who's cruel at first, but then grows up to be a gentler person...

Comments: I was surprised at how much Faris kept winning, and how much they show it off.  No, I don't think Faris is vain, and the things she says makes sense (especially to Jesse!!) but the way it was written seemed to portray how incredibly beautiful, strong, and well, virtually perfect she is. Not that it didn't emphasize the weak points of her character enough, but it emphasized the strong points too much.
    Also, James is not that stupid!!!!!!! But I think that whole thing revolving around James learning about life gave the story a nice touch. Enough of the bad stuff. I hate writing it, but I know authors appreciate it! I am a lot like Starr, when I read the story I was like, “Oh my god, THAT’S ME!!!” I could not believe how much we relate! ^___^  I especially loooooove getting hyper off candies! I think Starr is a very likable person, and would make a great friend.
    When I watched Utena, I gagged. But your story focuses on duels and the characters and that made it okay. (I just adore Chu Chu!!) I like a lot how you added things from other anime too. Well, I hope you finish the other chapters soon, and I WILL read them. Before I forget, James as a Rose Bride was priceless. I never guessed he was Anthy!!
Hmmm... well, I don't really know what to do in terms of making Faris less... um... perfect. I tried to shape her into an admirable character--someone who's gone through tragedy and has survived to become something great. I guess I was just too arrogant to succeed... But then, I expected from the beginning that Starr would be more popular than Faris, so such comments really shouldn't get to me so badly.
I'm so glad you like Starr! ^_^ I was concerned that she'd get lost in the shuffle. But it's usually the average people who are liked--Wakaba, for example. I love her to pieces. She's so cute. Hee hee, I too share Starr's fondness for sugar. SKITTLES! ^_____^ Yes, I know James has much more of a clue. He isn't dumb, but sometimes it's hard not to exaggerate jokes flying over his head. But we love James anyway.

Opinions: Hey cool, I really love your fan-fic! Usually I don't much like fics that have invented characters- but for some reason I kept reading...And now I've just finished reading the latest chapter. *grin* I started watching SKU a few weeks ago- so it made the latest chapter a lot easier to understand. Although I am a fan of Akio-sama.^_^;;;; *gets out a random iced drink* I started cracking up when Orion was acting like his usual self -_-;;;. SKU is a really good show isn't it? Having the duel songs “playing” in the background is a nice touch. I like “Angelic Creation, Namely Light”, too. Anyway, I really really love your fanfic; and as for improvements- I can't really think of any. Except for maybe writing the chapters sooner- but hey. Genius takes time. Starr's my fave character because she has Raichu. Raichu's my fave pokemon. Then why isn't Raichu my favorite character? Hmm...good question. I guess it's the trainer that makes the personality of a pokemon- if that makes any sense. Well, before I bore you even more I should stop.^~Ja ne! *drives off, waving, from the back of the Akio-car*
Oh, good, we wrote him in character... my biggest worry about this chapter was if we wrote all of the Seitokai in context (*l*)
RAICHU! YAY! And I'm glad I got Orion/Akio in chara when I was writing. I've never seen Utena before, except in a few clips and scripts I read, so I was scared about fouling up. ^_^; Of course, the fact that he's really like that is scary....

Opinions: What can I say.  I like it.  Very well written.  Well-developed characters,  too, and one of few stories written from the “villain’s” point of view.   However, there are a few too many anime references for my taste (I am not an anime fan), and there was a bit too much explanation and listing near the beginning.  Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk.  A very good job, nonetheless.  Have you ever considered professional writing?
Yes ^_^ Actually, I’m writing an original story called Tur’ennyn, and I've got another one planned called Red Eyes. They’re both anime-based, and treated as if they were anime/manga, but there won’t be any anime references in them (mochiron).
Chara development is the main thing I work on, always. I, too, am writing original stories, and I might post a few of them if I ever stop being so lazy. ^_^ No anime references in them, though, don't worry.

Favorite Character: Batts
Opinions: Like I said before, I really like your stories. There needs to be ONE improvemnet though... to get back on track with what's REALLY going on. You know, the festival on Cinnabar? Things have been really revolving around James and Faris.. a bit TOO much. Sure, it's nice to see these things but the real action happens on Cinnabar Island. The last few fanfics had NOTHING to do with Team Rocket's mission. That's all I have to say. See ya.
Tee... it's kind of ironic that this response should come when episode 5 is almost done. <3 Don't worry, all of that other stuff was setting the stage. I didn't give Faris an angsty past for nothing, you know—and the titles of episodes 5 and 6, the way they link together, is symbolic. Remember the meaning: “Even if the two of us are ever torn apart... ...I swear I'll change the world.” Come episode 6, you will get your action and then some. Mew! -<3
(*knowing smile*) Action is coming. Don't worry. Eeeeeeheee. Rai raichu.

Opinions: I think your fanfic is great. You guys already know me so this might not mean much but I really like it. I really don't think there is any way you could improve it. But as I've said before, it's obvious who killed Faris' aunt... you practically painted a picture, colored it in, and captioned it. Other than that your fanfic kicks ass man!
And I say again, Gee, was it really THAT obvious? ^^;; I honestly didn't intend to make it obvious, but then, I guess I can't help myself... I seem to have a tendency to reveal too much too soon, though I don't mean to.
^_^ Thanks again for the compliments. I can't say anything about the thing with Faris's aunt, though. I didn't write those parts. ^_^;
