Subject: [REVIEW] The Crazy Review #2 Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 00:21:24 -0700 From: "Crayz9000" Newsgroups: alt.startrek.vs.starwars The Crazy Review #2: Messenger Messenger, by Colin Brian Witz, is... um... well, I have no idea where it's set. There are only three parts (chapters) so far, so I probably don't have enough fanfic to accurately judge. Apparently the plot is... um... about a virus. I think the Author's Note gives a better indication of what it's about: "Authors Note: (Figure a core army of Fanatic youths sent back to their respective empires, waiting their secret call to arms, along the way passing on that annoying Retrovirus (Damn ST lax morals) which won't be noticed at first because it is primarily an immune-ENHANCER.)" Well, anyway, here's the synopsis: ====== Name: Messenger Author: Colin Brian Witz Location: http://www.daltonator.net/fanfics/stories/messenger.txt Overall rating: 55 / 100 Plot Line: 70 / 100 Development: 40 / 100 Balance: Unknown Comments: Could use a bit more character development, as Doctor Kelly strikes me as a cardboard cutout. In addition, each part is only two or three paragraphs long. However, I do think that the storyline is interesting, and shows promise. Hey, might even earn a "Most Original" Golden Stardestroyer Award... -- Crayz9000 - [http://crayz9000.htmlplanet.com] - mhm28x12 Cybernetic Crow
