Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!

Well, I think it is about time that I start giving reviews to all of your stories, since Mom is impatient again and gave us a deadline for the reviews this time :shifty: :lol:

First of all thank you again Egeria for the website :D One can never say enough thanks for it, it’s amazing :)

I also wanted to thank you all for your great stories :) I really enjoyed reading them :D
I promise to be back on board for the next round. That damn pneumonia kept me from writing anything useful but since I feel better now, I should be able to write something for the next round :)

And now the reviews…

Family Ties

This was a sweet story but so sad :( Poor kids… first of all they loose their father and now they loos mom too :( I like how you have Nick being there for them. And again I think he would be a great father.

I’m pretty sure who you are… and I like how you write Nick together with children. I also like how you write the children… just sweet:)

That you let Cynthia die gives the story an even bigger amount of drama… it was sad to read that Cliff physically abused Cynthia and the kids but that you let the kid’s loose their Mommy makes me cry :(

I know it was you because I read something similar to this from you before… not the same story of course… but it had some similarities ;)

I Didn’t Mean To Do It

Well, this one was just funny :) It was refreshing to finally read something light hearted. As much as I enjoy reading Nick angst fics, sometimes I need a good laugh too :D

I could actually really see it happen. You described it all so well. And even though the main part of the story was full of humour you managed to bring a little seriousness in too without making the story any less funny. It was amazing :D

I could picture Nick playing videogames as a stress reliever… I like doing that too :D

Yeah… Catherine has this special site on her and you described it so well in your story. But I think Nick isn’t as innocent as people think he is either…

You wrote all the characters so well… and it wasn’t easy because you had many of them acting in your story… you had Nick, Greg, Catherine, Jim and Archie… and you wrote them all absolutely in character, kudos for this one :bolian:

Fantastic job on this one… and I need to say I had a hard time guessing who wrote this one… but somehow after reading all the stories four times… let’s say I have a better guess on who you are :D

When Elephants Grieve:

Aww someone is watching Animal Planet, huh??? And I don't mean Nick :lol: ;)

That was a great fic... It takes a lot of guts to write an episode differently and to come up with a good story. This one is good, definitly.

You stayed absolutely in character and wrote your story very detailed. It is all very well thought through from the beginning to the end.

I really liked the part with the elephants... You painted us a picture of what Nick's and Warrick's friendship looked like and using the elephant part for it made it all so believable and one could only say 'Yes, that's what there friendship is like.' That was cool :D

And with Grissom you chose exacly the right person to create this picture for us :) But the best thing for me was that you had Nick knowing exactly what the elephants do :D That was something I really can imagine Nick knowing :)

Thank god you let it all be okay at the end... I don't think Nick could have ever found piece in knowing that he killed a man, even if he was the man sho shot his best friend. McKeen doesn't deserve to live that's for sure but killing someone no matter if the person deserved it or not will be a burden and I'm just glad that Nick does not need to carry it.

Perspective:

Wow that was a hard one to get for someone who is no English native... I had to read it twice to understand what you want to say... but don't worry it's not because of you or your writing, it's just because I need some time to get things :lol:

Your story is full of deep thoughts and I really like that. I always have problems to bring my thoughts in order enough to write a fic... and you obviously got it done and did a very good job :)

I can say that I have never seen a short fic like this which has as much thinking behind it :) This story belongs to a very intelligent writer... someone who really knows his way around CSI and not just the character of Nick but the other characters too. Not all of us can say that from themselves... I can't... or at least I don't think I can.

You should get kudos for this one, not only because you were able to write a very well thought out story but for the fact that you tried to write Keppler... He wasn't that long on the show and you were able to write his character. And you wrote him very in character... like we got to see him on the show... that was amaizing :)

Great work, really :D

Family Ties

I like seeing more of Nick’s family, although this story is so tragic. Well done pulling at the heart strings. I would have liked to see more action and emotion along with the dialogue though.

I Didn’t Mean to Do It

It was great to seem some light heartedness and fun! I think that’s really missing from the latest seasons, and you’ve captured the team beautifully. I’m not so sure Greg would be so careless though, I mean he did work in the DNA lab for all those years. But then, that’s the theme isn’t it…accidents happen, so your interpretation really works. Well done.

When Elephants Grieve

Wow, this was really gritty and emotional. I love the reference to elephants. And not only do they grieve but they revisit the bones of their dead too. Yeah, I watch Animal Planet :D. This was an interesting and riveting take on the episode. And a great interpretation of the theme. I liked it.

Well, I think it is about time that I start giving reviews to all of your stories, since Mom is impatient again and gave us a deadline for the reviews this time :shifty: :lol:

Well now! That's the opposite of impatient, isn't it? This time I told you all up front when we would reveal so I wouldn't pop in here and do it and have you all say I was impatient. :(

Damned if I do....damned if I don't! :lol:

You are impatient no matter what you do... you have to live with that :D

But I like you anyway ;) :lol:

There are still so many of us who haven't reviewed everything yet... :(
I hope I get it done tomorrow... I should go to bed now before you drag me to it...

Perspective

I have to admit, Keppler always felt a little…creepy…and you’ve definitely captured that in your fic. Like Nick, Keppler makes my skin crawl. Anyway, great twist on the story, you really captured the reader and then took them for a ride with the revelation of what’s really happening. I really enjoyed this story.

Déjà vu

This was a really involved story, and you really put Nick in a hard place! The concept was really interesting, with Nick’s past coming out in the middle of it. I love the end, typical Nick indeed! That was brilliant.

Enough

Wow. Poor Nick. I love his thought ‘why does this always happen to me’. I’m really glad Nick fought back. If anyone can take down a mugger it’s Nick! The story was intense, and I was holding my breath by the end. Nicely done.

Unbelievable

Well, firstly I think there are two believable things in your story. I think Nick would really act that way in an interview, and I also think he would talk during a movie. That was really funny and a great interpretation of the theme. Taking something that could be rather harrowing and turning it into some light hearted fun. Loved it!

You are lucky my Yahoo isn't working right now, little girl! Get to bed!! :lol:

Okay then...no reveal tomorrow...maybe the next day...or the next....or never!! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!! :rommie:
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!

I like having a deadline to review. Otherwise I'd just leave it on the long finger. At least this way I *know* when the last minute is! :lol:

Anyway, my last review.

The Job Follows You

Well, I can really identify with Nick, coming home after a hard day of work. I feel really sorry for him, the job shouldn’t follow him but it did. I’m really proud he did the right thing, hard as it was. Great job of having the reader empathise with Nick. Good job!
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!

The last of my reviews!

Perspective - Wow, what a twist. I'm like, ok ok Nick, it was self-defense and then I was like, omg, he shot someone he knows, the scared him and then I'm like 'stash'? What stash? Oh god Nick, what did you get yourself into? Then boom, you're somewhere else. Didn't see it coming man and, yeah, Keppler was a strange duck. Very nice.

Deja Vu - Geez, what a roller coaster ride. :lol: Poor Nick, has this man not endured enough? :lol: This was a great story and take on the song. I'm ready to smack that Drake guy. There always has to be one of those, don't there? I like that you had Catherine there supporting him, because she's always been there for him. I'm glad, too, that Warrick was in this story, as well. I could see Nick doing exactly what you described here. Great job.

Enough -
That was a tense story. I'm glad Nick has had enough. Sometimes I'm just waiting for him to snap on the show. That one thing that sets him over the edge. I think Nick is the one to survive the battle for the gun. He has to. I like how Nick pretends he's a 'tourist' to escape. Sometimes you just have to.

Unbelievable -
:lol: I love when you all have the reader believe one thing is happening and it ends up being something totally different. Man, if I was Greg I would have smacked Nick upside his head for talking during a movie. I really liked this story. Another light-hearted look at the song lyrics.

The Job Follows You - After a long day that the 'office' Nick still has to deal with the job. You definitely wan to empathize with Nick. However, it's good he let the day shift handle it. After all, bed was calling him.

Great stories everyone.
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!

Well, since my internet finally decided to be able to connect I have the chance to write my last four reviews... I should have printed them all but how do you do that without a printer :confused: Anyway let's finish this up :)

Déjà Vu

That was a great fic. I loved the detail of it... you even threw the name of a weapon in :eek: That takes research and knowledge.

You round this story up very well and the story flow was very good.
This story was one of the longer ones in this round and you did a great job in making it a very suspense loaded story.

You have a good way with words and know how to catch your readers. I wasn't sure who wrote this one first but after reading all the stories again, I think I know who you are.

I think I know because of the other stories you wrote before. The way you wrote the characters in this story and your other ones is similar and fits very well the picture we have of them while seeing them weekly on the show. You're an old pro in writing stories, one knows it while reading it because you don't miss details, I as a newbie definitly miss and your stories have quality.

Great job :thumbsup:

Enough

Wow, someonreally needed to cuss in there :lol:

This was an interesting read... hearing or in this case reading Nick cuss is something new. I know we all write him cussing from time to time but in this one it really got my attention. I have no idea why...

Anyway, I can really understand Nick for reacting this way after all he's been through and after the unless times he has been a victim.

Finally he stood up for himself and I think it's really sad that he might not get to savor his triumph.

I liked the concept of the story but I somehow missed the feeling part a little... your story was full of suspense which was good but what makes a story stick in your head and thinking about it are the feelings a story transferres to the reader. It would make this story a little bit calmer though... it seemed a little rushed... right after starting to read you're at the end, you know what I mean? I struggle with those parts as well but we're still able to learn, right? ;) That's what this challenge is good for :)

This was one of the most suspenseful stories of this challenge, good job :thumbsup:

Unbelievable

I know who you are :D Definitly :) Right after reading it for the first time.

Writing a light hearted story for a more for angsty fics made song shows that you are very creative and definitly able to think outside the box.

You sure used the song theme in your story and found such a great way to give us something happy to read :)

Nick as a talker through a movie??? Somehow I think it's cute :D I also can't stay quiet during watching a movie but I guess I could manage o stay quiet while watching a movie in a movie theatre :lol:
I could imagine Nick verbalizing his thoughts while watching :)
Poor Greg... I think he might have wished himself far away from there :lol:

The concept of the story was amaizing... one really can't see it coming. I, myself thought Nick and Greg would be in interrogation. The twist was great and at the right part of the story.

That was a very funny read and I'm glad that you found a way to make the dark theme a little lighter :)

The Job Follows You

That was short and sweet. I really could imagine something like this to happen. I mean it's Nick we're writing about, right? ;) Something like this can only happen to him. The poor guy never catches a break, not even when he is at home and ready for bed.

The story idea is cool and you made clear what you wanted to tell us with it. I think that you ended it maybe a little bit appruptly... the ending cought me a little of guard. Sure one shouldn't write too much around the main story idea but a little bit more around your story would have made it smoother and the reader would be able to see the ending of the story come.

Nick sure is a hero, isn't he? You showed very well that he is able to be appruptly back in working mode once he suspects something is wrong. Always there, even when he is death tired.

Great character characterization :D




Well those are my reviews for the round. I want to make you all a big compliment for this round. You all had great story ideas and were able to think outside the box :) Good job, everyone :thumbsup:

Typical Smokey... waiting for someone to ask her to reveal the authors :rolleyes::lol:

Well, I wasn't too bad with my guesses... Egeria was predictable :p And I guessed Speedy, Princess and GregNickRyanFan right :)

Finding MyFutureCSI's story was the hardest part... you hid pretty well what you wrote this time ;)

I thought that either Mom or Jacqui wrote Déjà Vu or Perspective. But there were times where it was easier to guess.

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!

Great job, all. :)

I had already had the idea for this fic before the song was announced... only I wasn't sure whether I was going to write it for Nick or for a character on one of the other CSIs. But, I realized halfway through writing it that it was similiar to some of my other fics. I probably would have switched to something different if I hadn't gotten hit with this horrible sinus cold infection thing (which left me struggling to even finish this one cause it just clouded up my head). I have yet to be able to think outside the box though. :lol: Perhaps one day I will gain that ability. :lol:

As for why I chose Greg to be there with Nick in the fic, well honestly, I couldn't think of a reason that Cath would be at Nick's apartment. Greg being there to watch sports like guys often do just seemed natural to me (not to mention these two are the easiest for me to write being that they are my faves). :lol: Plus I think the show's writers have established a friendship between Cath and Nick good enough, but they've not really established much of one between the guys unfortunately. So, I make up for that in my fics. I can't seem to help doing that. My mind just naturally goes there. :lol: It was also supposed to be significant that the kids would open up to someone like Greg rather than a mother type like Cath. It was supposed to signify just how miserable they were and how much pain they were in (Jaden for himself and his mom and Kylie for her mom and brother). Kylie was never hurt by the mom's boyfriend though. I meant to add it in there that she was checked out and found to not have been hurt, but I forgot... another thing this sinus cold infection thing I have caused. :lol:

I tried to put more emotion in this than some of my previous entries, but I found it difficult to find balance between what is too much, too little or just the right amount. I may have played it a little too safely though. :lol: As for action, I actually meant to write out a scene of the showdown between the mother and her boyfriend, but because of my stupid cold, I forgot that too. :lol: It's probably a good thing because I just barely made it under the 2500 limit. :lol: I think I had somewhere between 2100 and 2300 words. :lol:
