Altered Destinies
Author: Laree McKenzie
Email: lareemackie@hotmail.com
Warnings: I guess spoilers from round about the time that Miaka returned to the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho. Some language too cos of Tasuki.
Type: Alternate Universe dealing with the Boshi twins. Amiboshi is a Seiryuu Seishi while Suboshi is a Suzaku.


Chiriko's Review Chiriko:

This is part of that challenge that came over fyfanfiction, right? I've seen a number of responses to it, so let's see how this one stands. It has a lot of work to do since I'm already a fan of "The Ties That Bind" by Dreamwalker, which features the same themes.

*Chiriko puts on his kawaii glasses*

First off, compliments on the formatting, layout, and even the feedback form! It's clever, and easy to read!

(I'll add more later)


Tamahome's Review Tamahome:

Why, oh why, do I end up in a fight with every single introduced character? Still, I'll look past that and we shall see what we shall see...

Ah, so this was a challenge, was it? That would explain why this is the second fic I've read with this premise. Still, this is good; I like to see what people do with the same ideas.

There's always a tradeoff with HTML'ing fics - you can make it pretty and really snazzy, but that requires intricate coding and layout, which can sometimes be a bitch to load. I have to use public access terminals, and each and every chapter took a full minute to load. They were very pretty, but it cost me money, which meant I was NOT in a charitable mood.

I note that Laree is aware of the 'Suboshi is the name of a Seiryuu constellation' problem, good.

All else aside, I like this story. It's well-paced and pretty action-packed - Tasuki's going to like it. Not only does he get lots of action, he also gets backup in our fights (grumble, nobody ever gives *me* an ally, grumble).

I didn't note any glaring grammatical or spelling errors, so I could read uninterrupted. When the page finally loaded up, that was. Take that as a compliment, Laree - even though I started each and every chapter in a bad mood, I *still* enjoyed it!


Tasuki's Review Tasuki:

*Slaps Tamahome on the back*

Aww, it's only cause you got that f#$%*& target in the middle of yer forehead!

Yeah, I liked this fic! It was pretty good! Plenty of action and I had a real good time! And I got drunk! *thumbs up*

The webpage was pretty cool too! It was neat to watch it go from red to grey and blue and stuff. Though I have to admit the thin black letters were slightly hard to read on that textured gray background. And the fact that...the constellation named Suboshi belongs to Seiryuu. It might have been better to give the yo-yo psycho Chiriko's name.

Other than that, the fic picks yah up from the beginning and just drags you along. And it wasn't some long, drug out, I'm-goin-ta-sleep-now kinda fic. The author cut out the extra scenes that weren't needed is a very smooth way, not leavin us readin the thing with that jerky stop-and-go feelin.

Five cups of sake! or kasas or whatever... *shrugs*
