Review for The Halo Files

The Halo Files

(#) monstrice901 2012-04-10

I just read the first three chapters and WOW! Is all I have to say. You are definitely on to something here, and I cannot wait to see how this turns out. This is worthy of being published - not even joking; you deserve money for this! It is incredible.

You've portrayed the characters perfectly, and although Waycest (or incest in general) is usually enough to make me stop reading something, somehow it makes this story even better.

I haven't read the stuff you've based this off, but I'd love to just to see how close the two are. Even if you've literally picked the storyling up, and are just re-working it, it's all done well enough so you can get away with it. Grammar/spelling mistakes are - as far as I can see - are non-existent, and you've done an amazing job of setting the scene and background and just everything. I have really been blown away by this.

I CANNOT wait for more, so update ASAP!!

Thank you!!! We'll see if I can rework it into a non-MCR story...merp. Someday, I hope. I, too, find Waycest a little creepy (I have a younger sister who kind of reminds me of Mikey), but I thought it kind of made Gerard redeemable. You'll see later (if I ever get around to writing xD) that everything he's done has been to protect his brother, not just because he's an evil crazy murderer. The plot is actually the product of my deranged mind, and the sources I've mentioned (Silence of the Lambs too, I guess) are where I've gotten details or ideas from. I don't love plagiarism as a rule, so I thought I'd give credit to some of the things that inspired me :) I've been on a whole string of crazy college visits for the past week, and haven't had time to focus on anything else, but hopefully I'll put out a nice fat update in the next week or so. Thank you so so much for your lovely, thoughtful review - sorry my answer's so long! xo
