Reviews for Annals of Fear II

    Let me compliment you on your choices of chapter titles.  Each morning, with the excitement of a child opening up a birthday gift, after coffee, I bring up TAF 2. I look at the chapter title and give pause to wonder what could happen next.  Then, when I have finished that daily dose I look back up to the chapter title and suddenly it all comes together.  

    While by far, to this point, my fav chapter title had been "Waltz for Mello and Matt"  because it so accurately described that particular portion of their relationship. Although, I will say, your most recent posting, "Sister" as far as chapter titles go, was rather  heartwarming .

    The chapter itself was a total surprise.  First, because it was told from Kiana's perspective.  This was very interesting from "the outsiders" point of view.  I found her description of Mello quite insightful.  - how he wears his leather like an armor; he wears his different personalities like veneers; how his scars show him to be the victim, not the victor.  Very insightful.  

    While I certainly didn't see this twist coming, it shows one thing, the Wammy kids, aside from their way above average intellect and eccentricities, they are a family.  There is inner fighting amongst the siblings, but when the chips are down (ie)  Fenian helping rescue Matt from Neuron, Mello's SOS call to Fenian (who appears not to care whether Matt and Mello live or die - Slav), Mello being respectful (overtly) of Century's deathly fear of guns, etc.  and now .....  their sister needed their help and off they went, brothers with a common goal.

    I feel so bad for Deontic :( No one should have to suffer that. 

    I will be tapping my foot and pacing anxiously until tomorrow morning comes!!

    The fact that Matt is an atheist has always troubled Mello.  He has always been concerned for his (Matt's) soul in the after life.  I wonder if Mello thought Matt's reason for disbelieving was not so much anti religion or anti higher power but more like everything else Matt does, difficult for him to express his thoughts and fears.  And now in this chapter, poor Mello just can't understand how being so close to death ( at least in his mind) from hearing The Banshee why Matt didn't see God - like Century did.

    Matt's response was by THE BEST I have read.  He didn't need to believe in God because he believed in Mello, his husband.  I hope hearing that puts things in perspective for Mello a bit.

    I just finished reading Chapter 18 and wow!!

    I love how Mello's whisper of "Watari" brought Matt back. No matter where Matt was in his head, that "word" (because as Mello's used it it was a word and and not a name) it snapped Matt to reality.

    Another thing about your writing is that it is so descriptive. I felt that I was right alongside Mello on the beach. I could literally see Matt by the lighthouse.

    I look froward to the next chapter.

    I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how very much I have been enjoying your story.  In The Annals of Fear 1 you had brought Matt and Mello, and your created Wammy kids (whom we all love), and brought them face to face with supernatural forces of an all together different type. What a unique story idea!  

    I was so pleased to learn that you had written a Part 2 because, frankly, there needed to be conclusion.  While I don't want to ruin the story for those who may not remember all of the detail I'd TAF 1, but you certainly left you readers some food for thought in the later chapters.

    Also, having read all of the stories in this series, I like how you occasionally  reference incidents from previous stories.

    In regards to all of the Wammy alumni, aren't they all just little kids looking for acceptance in one form or another?  Once at Wammys the children were all set against each other in competition (the rankings).  That constant pressure on anyone, especially a child almost always will have devasting effects.  Perhaps not immediately, but certainly by age of 18 - 20.  It can make someone be overtly loud and pushy with no regard for their own life (Mello) when in reality they are just the opposite, as you pointed out; it can make one withdraw into a safe place (Matt) to escape the pain of the real world; it can make one always push the boundaries to be the first and prove his worth (Fenian).  Yes, Wammys did quite a number on this children.  I wonder though,  did Quillish mean for it to be like that? 

    I can't wait to see how the story progresses.  Will listening to the Banshee truly bring evil spirits or was Mellon so worked up knowing what happened after one his "associates" played the song on someone as a test and poor Matty, he was shutting down emotionally as soon as they arrived. Seeing Mello, his emotional anchor start to panic could have been enough to send Matt almost catatonic.

    I know this is rather long, and I apologize, I really did just want to let you know how very much I am enjoying the story.

    Thanks so much for continuing it.  Any chance for another story for the series?  *fingers crossed*

    That was awesome :) Your characterization of Matt and Mello is just perfect - they're acting exactly the way I'd imagine it. :) Oh and don't worry about the length.... the longer the better, that's my opinion.

    Omg you're writing a new story ;D I'm so excited. I read all of your stories and, shame on me, I never wrote a review... I just LOVE your fanfiction, your stories are fucking amazing. I'm a huge fan of your work and I can't for the next chapter. ;)
