Reviews For The Prevailing Counterpoint
Reviewer: Gin110881 Signed Date: 2017.08.31 - 04:36AM Title: Quest for Water Oops, I just noticed that the story covers only four weeks. Yes, 250K words to cover four weeks. Barking, isn't it? And yes, I think Matt had already made Ginny fairly street-smart, and my extension has been to make it clear that she really understands people. Perhaps this has been growing due to the osmotic accumulations of someone who has discovered an exceptional talent in Legilimency. Not that Ginny goes around reading people's minds (something she's vehemently opposed to), but she probably can't help but pick up empathic impressions. As to Ginny beginning to grasp Fugoistic cognition, I think this is attributable to having taken an interest in them, and having spent a lot of time pondering old records in the library. Beyond that, I cannot tell. Ginny keeps some things secret even from me :) I honestly cant recall my exact process for choosing the name Fugo, although looking at its Latin root (Fugare -- to 'drive away') I see one plausible self-reinterpretation. I like the fugue analogy too, though, since TPC is kind of an extended exercise in musical theory :) And finally, romance. Yes, I did indeed intend this story as the romantic culmination of the series. Trix and Seeker Daughter have their moments of tenderness, but TPC is the last real voyage of emotional discovery for the two. It is when a bond of circumstance is broken, only to reveal an ephemeral affinity of spirit.

Continue to be impressed with how well you're executing your vision for this story extension.

I certainly hope Matt is enjoying your continuation of his stories as we your readers are. The Fugos are a remarkable invention. They seem to be quite the couple and I look forward to the next chapter. Reviewer: Dad Signed Date: 2014.05.09 - 11:56AM Title: Quest for Water Good chapter. Reviewer: aimless Signed Date: 2014.05.07 - 06:55AM Title: Quest for Water Wouldn't say Mary Sue as I read Matt's stories and know where it comes from. Less action here but some interesting ideas. And where's Remus btw? You forgot about him :/ Reviewer: Grownupron1 Signed Date: 2014.05.06 - 05:32PM Title: Quest for Water Wanted to like it but Harry and Ginny are just too strong Mary Sue's for my tastes. Thanks for your work though. Good luck. | |||||||
