Right. My daily writing widget was somewhat delayed due to computer issues, but I'm back. And. Uh.
This is... technically ficwork. For a longer fic. This will be most or maybe all of a chapter for
Extraordinary Voyages, a fic I'm... not very far into. It'll get worked on (clearly), though I'm probably updating Letting Go first
(
Read more... )
If that's the rough draft I'm practically dying at the thought of how good the cleaned up version is going to be. I swear I could picture every bit of action and you can feel Rinzler's rage and confusion.
Such a delicious and potent mix- his inability to attack properly because somewhere deep down he knows better.
I only recently found the tronmeme and then I found your work and just spent my whole free day reading everything you have up here. XDD
Your stuff is incredible from Hold On, where your Tron's struggle to do whats right is sooo spot on and tragic (like you wrenched my heart and had me gripping my seat from the tension). Your Clu's persuasive in a chillingly evil way *shudders* and your Sam- I love him and his innate need to help.
Especially in Letting Go- I just know I'm gonna end up in tears if you really stick to the death guideline- (readas::please find a loophole::- Rinzler's situation is exactly what Sam needs, he can't ignore it and ends up with a responsibility he can't shun.
Loved how he's the only one who acknowledges that it's Rinzler and not Tron their dealing with. Can't help but feel Sam doing that and not overtly fearing Rinzler is what lets him listen to Sam. (what rocks about your Rinzler is how he's still dangerous.) You haven't dulled that sharpness out of his personality, he's still a formidable warrior, even out of his element. (especially loved his subtle threat with the knives that only Sam understood. Definitely still the badass reigning Game champion inside.)
Extraordinary voyages looks like it's gonna be another awesome fic. Your Sam is all action and those scenes with the lightcycles fighting and racing? Freaking gorgeous and vivid. And your Sam is exactly how he should be, reckless but smart and driven to do something, not just be passive. And long live your fiery and hiddenly aggressive Quorra. Your Flynn fits in with canon character so seamlessly, that I could so easily visualize everything happening in the last chapter- his mistaken Zen way *shakes head* it's like he's doing Clu's work and slowly suffocating himself instead.
And wow my intention was to just say how much I like your work and I end up rambling non-stop instead. Super Sry.
Just wanted you to know that I love your story so far and am really impatiently waiting for anything else you post. As well as suffering from all the cliffhangers especially here where Sam's "Tron" could cause so many things to happen....
Either way it's great to find a writer like you who can write something this beautifully descriptive and pull you deeply into their world. Your like super gifted at getting into all the character's minds, making them tangible and understandable. You don't lose the aspects that make them the way they are. So waiting eagerly and wishing I was an artist so that I could gift you with art to accompany your story.

I don't think I've ever received a single comment with so much condensed happy-inducing praise.
Thanks so much. Grinning like a maniac right now.
Hold On was my first real Tronfic (got an abandonfic at ff.net, but not getting back to that for awhile at this point...), and my first prompt-writing, and... yeah. :) Lotsa firsts. It's probably my favorite AU I've written, which given that I (apparently?) specialize in AUs, is actually significant.
Letting Go is... >.<. It fills me with fondness/trauma, which is just worsened as the more happy the characters get to have, the worse it'll get... Your observations about both Sam and Rinzler are spot on and make me glad; Rinzler is uniquely unstable, and Sam's recognition of who he is (instead of who he wants him to be) is definitely a lot of what causes Rinzler to respond well. :) My update speed's terrible so far, though I'm hopefully improving that soon.
I'm having more fun with Extraordinary Voyages than I expected. :D The character contrast with Sam/Quorra/Flynn is exactly what I'm going for; much joy that it's getting across that well. More characters shall join the heap soon enough (as clear from the draft...). Chaos everywhere. :) And hells yes, Sam's "Tron" will have... effects. *shakes head* Poor Tronzler.
XD Your rambling is amazing. Seriously, thanks so much. It is quite definitely the awesomely supportive fandom that's gotten me to write as much as I have here; your praise about the characterization is just... :D. As for updates, should be finishing the EV chapter hopefully tomorrow (would be today, but computer died :P), then probably doing a Letting Go chapter.
