Bio:

Hey everyone, my name is Klaire and I'm a professional writer.  Currently, I am working on a couple of books of my own, and my newest project is an Inuyasha fanfic.  Amazingly, I actually finished one!  And then I got sidetracked by writing another...meaning my books are even further away from completion...Isn't that just wonderful?  I mean, you've really got to love the irony in that.  Anyway, thanks for visiting my page, and I hope you enjoy my stories!  Also, I am always willing to review someone elses work!  So, if you would like me to read yours, just let me know and I will do it!  Once again, thank you.

Desperation by Eluwei Rated: R starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 300]
Summary: Past Featured Story

 

They almost hadn't made it out of the well and well house.  He was hurt so badly this time.  Worse then she had ever seen him.  With his left arm around her shoulders she struggled to get him to the house.  She knew she wasn't going to make it on her own.

Desperation made her do the one thing she knew she shouldn't.

Very good!  Again, it's dialogue-heavy, but the dialogue does not feel forced, and comes off as necessary to the chapter (and that's kind of hard to pull off well), but you did it! 

As far as Sesshomaru goes, he does seem a bit out of character, but that's okay...as obviously, he needed to seem a bit out of character to fit the story properly.  What matters is that he still feels like Sesshomaru, and he does.  Great job there, too!

Again, the "next" button is calling me.  Another ten!

Wow!  This was a perfect mix of descriptive sentences and dialogue!  Wonderful job!  I especially loved the part where you have Kagome very quickly sum up the truth of her "illnesses".  It gives off the feeling of being tired and being rushed at the same time, which is exactly how Kagome must be feeling.  It was also very well written.

I'm a writer myself, and I also wrote my two stories because the ideas were getting in the way of my novel, so I can entirely relate you there.  Sitting at the computer, trying to type my book and then suddenly "what if Inuyasha did this?  What if that happened instead...?"  Anyway, good luck with the book, but beware this fanfiction writing...it gets addicting.

Ten again!

This chapter was great!  I think your death-bed proposal came out better than mine did!  Seriously, great job!  Shippou referring to Inuyasha and Kagome as "Mama" and "Papa" is very cute, and makes his character seem more "real" than he usually appears. 

Another ten!

Great chapter!  It was very deep and emotional, I absolutely loved it!  "Next" button-here I come!!

 

Ten!

Summary:

Now Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kouga, and Sesshomaru must team up to fight a enemy that was even more powerful then Inu no Taishou himself, in order to save InuYasha's soul.

You really like cliffhangers, don't you?  Eh, I can't complain...I used them, too.  They work.  I am loving this story so far...you've done a wonderful job with the characters personalities, and it certainly keeps the reader engaged in the story.  Off to the next chapter I go...

By the way, have a 10.



Author's Response: Thanks! I love cliffhangers, like I said before, I'm the cliffhanger king! There good, as long as you don't have the person wait to long and then they get angry. :) I haven't seen you in a while, your two stories are great! :) Well I hope you continue to enjoy! :)

Summary:

A fox youkai is a demon you don't trust, Sesshomaru had always thought. They are cunning and sly. What happens though, when Sesshomaru has Lady Yasu, the Princess of the fox youkai, living under his roof. Personality differences are in for sure. Sesshomaru: a cold, distant inu youkai. Yasu: a spirited, lively fox. How will these two get along? And why is she there in the first place? You'll have to read to see. The rating is NC-17 because I don't know where this story is headed, but even if it doesn't get that far it will be close. I will warn if the chapter does contain anything.

You should finish this story, as its pretty good!  I also saw that you were considering writing another one...?  If you still are, I say go for it.  You're not bad by any means, and I really enjoyed reading this one!

Author's Response:

Thank you! I appreciate your review. I'll be finishing this one sooner or later. The other story I was planning on writing is a modern one with Sesshomaru and I'm not so sure about it. Once again, thank you for your opinion

I like it.  I don't have the guts to write lemons like that, my fiance' reads my stories, and if I did anything that graphic he'd probably get jealous. lol.  Anyway, I love your writing, and I greatly admire your nerve to write something like this.  Well done!

Have a ten!



Author's Response: I blushed when I wrote my first lemon lol. I was like 'Oh God what am I doing? I'm such a hentai!' LOL But I got over it. :) I bet your fiance wouldn't be jealous. I bet he'd like it. He'd probably like it so much he'd do everything you wrote! :)  I'm glad you liked the story! :) Heehee

Huh, I left a review for this...I guess it didn't take the first time.  No worries, though. I can write another one.

 Anyway, this was really cute.  I feel so bad for Inuyasha and Kagome...they're in for 18 years of hell.  Just the short trip through the well to visit Grandma and Uncle Souta is going to be like a mountaineering expedition!



Author's Response: LOL damn right! I would take forever to do that, I might make a sequel, but we'll have to see.

This is off to a great start!  I really like it, and I intend to keep up with its progress.  However, you asked for contructive criticism, so here it goes:  I think the bit about Inuyasha's past with Kikyo could have been longer and more detailed...instead of briefly summerized, especially if it is important to the story.  

Other than that, its great!  Wonderful job on your first AU fic, you're off to a great start!

 



Author's Response:

Goodness, I never expected to get a review so quickly!  This is quite nice.  Hopefully, you won't be disappointed with how the story plays out.  I'm very glad you have such faith in it.  And thank you for the criticism, as I always like the opportunity to improve my work.  I do understand what you mean about it being rather short, and I would like to eventually go back and edit the earlier chapters.  However, I am past the half way point in writing it out, and am focusing more on that than edits.  Perhaps, once it is finished I can go back.  Still, Inu-Yasha's past will be more fully explained as the story progresses. 

 Thanks very much for the review!

Date: 22 May 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Broken Promises

I LOVED this chapter.  You have a way with words, and a very unique 'voice' in your writing.  I'm really enjoying this, man...and I hope it doesn't become one of those fics that never gets finished, because this is worth seeing to the end.

Also, this chapter title is the same as one of mine in 'Of Love and War'. lol.  I thought that was neat.

Ten.



Author's Response:

Well, I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it!  And thank you for the compliment--I strive to make my writing slightly different than others, so that was very nice to read.  Not to worry, this story is absolutely going to be finished.  I've put to much into writing it to just stop in the middle. ^__^

 Oh, and I went and read 'Of Love and War'.  It's kinda creepin' me out, but I'm intrigued...

 Thanks for the review!

Now, she begins looking at Inuyasha with new eyes…and Inuyasha is seeing Kirara a little differently then before. Could they actually be falling for each other? (Inu/Kirara)

Author's Response: Thank you very much! Glad you're liking it so far! Yeah, there's no Kirara pairing fics out there, so I'm happy to provide the first Kirara/Inu pairing for you and others to enjoy! Hope to see you next week when I post chapter 2: "That Cat's Outta the Bag".

This isn't bad.   It's quite short, but length does always signify quality.  I would also highly suggest that you make a new paragraph every time another character has dialogue.  It is much easier to read and understand who is speaking that way.  All in all, not bad and I am interested in the second chapter.

Reviewer: Dark_Author Signed starstarhalf-star
Date: 20 Oct 2010 Title: Chapter 2: Return of an old enemy

The dialogue was formatted better in chapter when compared to the first.  You seem to have a decent idea for a story, but I would really like to see more detail.  I don't have a very clear image of the setting or the custom characters, and it is hard to sympathize with a character you don't know all too well.  However, I like it, and I would like to see chapter three when its up.

Author's Response: I know what you mean i'm not the best when it comes to details, but i'm going to try to add more detail in the next chapters
