Title: Chapter 1: PROLOGUE
I made an account just to say great story!
I've been looking forward to new chapters every week and I'm a bit sad now that its over. I immensely enjoyed all the fun destruction but I really appreciated all the parts that were told from the POV of people on the ground below all the action. It makes the story much better to see it from every angle.
The other aspect I really enjoyed was Kelly's development and how she devloped her God complex as she gained more and more power, Abandoned it after she got nuked and became so big that the idea of ruling was impossible and decided the only thing left to do was satisfy her own carnal desires, and finally was brought back down to earth to breifly realize what she had done before being put on ice.
I was a bit disappointed that there was never any confrontation between Kelly and Casey after she became Mega too but I guess I'll just have to keep imagining that in my head.
Lots of open ended parts to think about. What happened to Stella? Will the Government be doing more experiments on the frozen former giants? Carson said it won't happen again but how can we be sure? The comment about Lisa being able to take much more gas than Joe leads me to believe that she and Kelly probably still have super strength and endurance like Casey does. Whatever happens I'm sure someday in the future Casey will find a way to come back bigger and badder than ever before.
Author's Response: Well, first of all thank you for making the effort and taking the time to create the account just so that you could review the story. I'm very happy that you have enjoyed you so much.
The areas you are mentioning as the ones you enjoyed the most (the changes in viewpoints, Kelly's character development, ...) are precisely the ones where I devoted more time and effort while writing, since I thought they would be important elements into getting a good story, so I'm very happy that they were the ones that made the story good for you.
I know that the set-up of the story seemed to point to a confrontation between Casey and Kelly. I decided against that, though. I wanted to keep the plot unpredictable enough and as logical as possible. As much fun as that type of confrontation could have been to write (and I hope that to read), I think that the line I chose allowed me to end the story in a way closer to the one I had originally thought of. I could always write an "altertative storyline" chapter with that, if one day I feel inspired... (who knows...)
I tried to have the ending satisfactory enough in terms of closing the plot lines of the trllogy but open enough to be able to go back to the story later on. Of course, we have Lisa and Kelly frozen, but the story does not imply if this means they are dead or not. It would be highly unlikely that the government let these two slip through their fingers again, so "waking them up" (if that could be done), would require a pretty unique plot "resource". I've thought ot a few, but let me tell you that right now this does not feel like a line to pursue. I may change my opinion in the future (that's a right I like to keep :P), but at this moment I think that, as interesting as they were, Kelly and Lisa are done as characters for this world.
Of course, the characters with more possibilities to come back to this world, if I ever decide to do so, are Stella and Casey. And I can always create new characters, of course. I have some ideas for them and also some that do not involve them. And of course, I have ideas for stories in different worlds with different set ups. Quite honestly, right now I don't know what will happen.
Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement and the feedback. Comments like yours are what keep me motivated to write and post, so they are very much appreciated. If I ever post another story in the future, I'd appreciate your regular feedback!
Cheers!
