Hey X.A.N.A._elite! I know I said this on Tech Links previously, but great job. Since I know what's going to happen in episodes 1 and 2 (and the start of 3), but other users don't, you might want to post them.

Still, great job, even if this is only the prologue. ^-^



Author's Response: Hey thanx Carthage. I am having a tad bit of difficulty with adding stuff since I am not fammiliar with this site but I am currently revising the first episode so when I am done doing that I will be adding it and episode 2. This is why I haven't added it yet, I wouold have, but I decided to look over it again to see if there was anything I could do to make it a little better. Both episodes should be up sometime tomorrow and if I have the time, I will add episode 3 along with one to two new pages for you to read. I really thank you for all the support you have been giving me while writing this. ^_^

Summary:

William Dunbar is the one who goes crazy while in love, the one who loves Yumi, and the one who is possessed by XANA... and that's about all we know.

And that's where I come in. I have written a mostly fictional backstory for William, based on what we do know about him.

Even though I don't fully support slash pairings...great job. =D

If you want me to say something constructive: it was very descriptive and true to William's character.

Gah, I hate being formal.

Summary:

Jeremie return to Kadic Twelve years after the computer was shut down. But a lot has happened in that time.

 

 Now draw me a picture of the new virtual gardians and send it to me at kson1rayquaza@hotmail.com. And Review and draw, winner gets a very special sneack peak at one of the final chapters in postlude.

First recommendation: I would recommend somehow separating the last long ramble into a few paragraphs, if only to make it easier to read. And the switch  should usually start a new paragraph as well. (Don't forget the spell check and grammar check!)

Other than that, good job. Still having trouble following the plot because of all the new plot elements (characters, mostly), but then again, I always did.

Author's Response: Fixed that, problem with LFF not me. Oh well

EEEEEEE...severe hints of JxS...-_-

Anyway, it seems okay, aside from said pairing I am trying not to notice. Not sure that even the adult Sissi would have that large a vocabulary, but it seems interesting.

As for Lyoko's new name, for some reason Terra Machina reminds me of a factory instead of a virtual world, but it's good.

I'm still completely in the dark of what is to happen next; I don't have any good guesses. If that's your intention, good job. If it's not...then uh oh. Although if it's not your intention, it's probably something on my part. -.-

Just please be careful not to stray too much from CL's original plot line. I understand that yes, this is the future and a new age, and much has changed since the end of the series, but straying too far from the usual plot and into unknown territory won't always keep your readers on track. You're doing a very good job with very good description, and you're making use of vocabulary, as well as staying true to Jeremie's character (as far as I can notice), but just be sure not to take the plot too far away from what most readers are comfortable with reading.

Just try to focus a bit more about the things we know most about, and what we're used to seeing and most familiar with: Lyoko/Terra Machina (now), and also Jeremie and the original characters. Inventing too many characters will have heads spinning...or mine, at least. x.x

As for the perspectives, I haven't been keeping track of them a lot, but just be sure not to use too many, because then it gets confusing.

But you've been doing a great job with detail and your plot, as well as staying true to a lot of the usual things, such as Jeremie's character. Keep up the good work.

Really sorry SOL...other things have been kinda preventing me from finding enough time online to get to LFF to read your fanfic. -_-

 Anyway, I don't really want to spam the fanfic with individual reviews for each chapter, since I kinda got behind on reading a lot, but so far it's great. I don't know where you plan to go with the plot, but your writing is very artful, and it helps contribute to the overall plot.

 One thing I might add though is that a few times in the story, it's difficult to tell if it's a flashback or the present. But it could have been because I was distracted...ehehe. >.>

 Overall, great so far. I look forward to reading more. :)

Nice to see that two UMAX episodes in a row aren't taking up the "Most Recent" box anymore.

I have to admit, it's just slightly unsettling to see a Lyoko battle without any of the real Lyoko Warriors...but good job. Not much advice I can give, except to again try not to stray too far from the original Code Lyoko.

"Who appeared [i]board[/i]?"

I think you mean "bored". :P

I have to say that some bits are too chronological, because you should probably just say "a little while later" instead of making it almost completely time-based and saying "7 minutes later". It just seems too...well, unnaturally timed out.

Other than that, I think it's fine. Great chapter. :)

Date: Jul 31, 2008 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Answer...

Although I can't really tell where you're going with the plot at the moment, it seems interesting. I'm assuming that you have reasons for straying a bit more from Jeremie's point of view, probably reasons related to the developing plot. Great job so far, and interesting revelation at the end of this chapter. :)

It's still...slightly hard to stay on track...but great job. Can't think of anything to suggest or criticize, except to try and keep the plot straightforward. Although it could just be me. -.-

Date: Sep 01, 2008 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Leave all (part 2)

It's still a bit confusing for me...-.- But I think it's mostly because I'm used to the usual characters of CL.

Good work...although if there were any specific details to pick up, I don't think I noticed them. -_-

Summary: It's been two years since the destruction of Xana and the Lyoko heroes have been gone for some time.
After returning to Kadic only one thing is on their minds...Lyoko. But, after shutting down the supercomputer they have no need to return; Until they receive a secret message from Franz Hopper.
A new threat has risen and the power of Xana has increased. Are our heroes ready to take on this new evil? Or will the world surrender to Xana?
The first episode of an epic series.

Hmm...

Well as you said, it is rather short. But the plot comes across rather nicely; all you have to work on is adding detail. Good job. :)

(Having trouble remembering if I've read this before...x_x)

Summary: After discovering Xana's new threat, Jeremy tries to figure out the source of this new evil.

While working on a solution to the problem, the gang finds that this new apprentice of Xana's is actually a new kid at their school named Seth. He kinda creeps Yumi out since they are in the same class.

As all of this is happening, William is trying to get them to let him come to Lyoko. A new Lyoko warrior will go to Lyoko and Seth will be there to greet our heroes in battle. Are they ready to face this challenge?

As I said somewhere else, it seems a little strange, because wouldn't this appearance of Xana provoke an outright rebellion from the Lyoko Warriors, or at least some action to stop him? But it seems good so far, so good job.

Reviewer: 5CarthageRocks Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: Aug 24, 2008 Title: Chapter 9: A New Problem

Bit fast-paced, but the plot came across pretty well. Only advice I have to you is to try and work on detail.

Summary: Ulrich Stern is the sulky, antisocial, athletic one of the group. But other than that, we don't know much. This story fills in the blanks of Ulrich's backstory, based on the facts that we do know.

This is definitely your best work, in my opinion, so far. Somehow...it just fits: Ulrich's personality, his father's perfectionism, and all the other elements that make Ulrich up. Great job.

Summary:

Aelita helps Jeremy find another piece of the message. They discover that it is located in a super computer in South Korea. Jeremy rebuilds the Skid and the group goes to find the message and destroy the Replika. But, Xana is waiting for them.

Pretty good so far; just remember to try and add as much detail as you can. If you need help, I'm here for the advice I can give. :)

Date: Sep 04, 2008 Title: Chapter 6: Keys, Codes, and Downloads

Good use of codes (I myself happen to know that code :P), keep trying to pull out the detail. :) If I could make a suggestion, try to equally depict the scenes on Lyoko and Earth (as in on the Replika and Translated on Earth) with equal detail, so that one scene is the focus and the other is just a shadow. I mean, just try to make sure that both scenes have enough detail in them to not leave too many questions for the reader. ^^;

Author's Response: Thanks! I'll try to keep that in mind! :D

Summary: Things get a little crazy at kadic during the fall break. When Xana launches a new scheme, everyone begins to become a little...well, insane. The Lyoko warriors find themselves becoming subject to this plot as well. Will they go give in to the insanity? Episode #5 of A Next Generation series.

You might want to consider making double lines between each new paragraph to make it easier to read. Other than that, nothing notable you need to correct. Good job.

Author's Response: I didn't notice, I'll fix it. Thanks for the review!
