Til Death Do Us Part by
Rated:XXX [Reviews: 7]

Summary:

Five pokemon count down their remaining hours together from their cell on death row. Brought together by circumstances beyond their control, their stories are both vastly different, and eerily similar. Whether their punishment is deserved or not, swapping tales with each other may offer some comfort, and perhaps shed light on the unifying truth in their midst.

Story Notes:

This story is a bit of an experiment for me, based in a small part upon 'The Hyperion Cantos', by Dan Simmons. Fair warning for those more squeamish readers --it contains content which traverses some rather dark spaces. I hope this will not discourage you from reading, however, as I believe journeying into these dark places can help us both understand them better, and attain a greater appreciation for the light. As always, thanks to my proof readers, Guri, Cetacea, and Six.

    Great story so far, looking forward to what is in store. I'm digging the writing style; it's very refined and it flows well. Even though you listed a source of inspiration, I still think this is very fresh and creative. This is inspiring me to get to work again on my first story. Again, really looking forward to what is to come. Thanks for the good read.
    Author's Response:
    Thanks! The inspiration is mostly in terms of general concept (five loosely connected character stories shared within a space), and I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far! Now to get back to work on the rest, heh.

    Well..... I'm mind blown.

    Thus far it's all so impressive, I honestly don't know what to say without sounding ignorant...or stupid.
    Each story is exciting, nerve-racking, and unique. Of course they're clichéd, but used so well it's difficult to really notice.

    I really enjoyed reading what you've written so far and look forward to the next chapter.
    I didn't notice any grammatical errors, but spotted the occasional typo.

    Again, great job and I look forward to reading more.
    Author's Response:
    Thank you. ^^ I currently have another project that has taken precedence over this one, but I'm still working on it, and hopefully will have it finished off in the next couple months.

    I kind of had hoped that the next chapter would have been out by now. Have you plans to update this soon? I just would hate for this story to be left to die and collect dust.

    Wow, this is definitely one of my favorite fics on here.

    I could go on about how each character's story was sad, gruesome, and piteous, but really, my favorite aspect has to be the focus on character development. I absolutely love how vibrant and distinct each character's personality was. Each one has their flaws and their strong points, and to a realistic extent, while still having a sense of mystery to them. As a fledgling writer myself, your style of writing has forever impacted how I compose my own fics, especially your attention to detail.

    In the small chance that you see this, I hope to see this story finished, but I understand if you can't get around to it. Life happens, though I am sad that a story this well-written may go incomplete. 

    All this said, I sincerely wish you the best on your endeavors, and hope you keep writing! Kudos, man!

    Faved! :D

    Wow, this chapter was heart breaking and beautiful. It was wonderfully written and your use of imagery was perfect. I could see it all so clearly I felt like I was there.

    Some of these chapters are pretty short, but they're affective. I really like the depth of personality they you give to reach out the characters.

    Wow, very intense scene. You do points of view really well. And your dialogue is very rich.
