Last Moments

      So far I have liked all the things that I have read of Adrienne's, which includes "Last Moments" and her "Stars of light" series, that is still going on, as far as I am aware, but then I only got up to "Chapter 5." Also, I will say that Adrienne has been the nicest person I have ever e-mailed, with regards to Sailormoon fanfiction. She has always been so warm and enthusiastic in her responses and you don't feel like she's writing you some quick, short note at all. I hope she writes some more so that I can have an excuse to e-mail her because she just makes one feel so good inside when she responds!

     What did that have to do her the reviewing of her fanfic? Perhaps not much ^_^ . But I just thought that it was worth the mentioning.

     "Last Moments" is definitely a different kind of fanfic, going into the mind and final thoughts of Prince Demando just before he dies. Again, I suppose I have fallen prey to my bias for liking Thought fanfics, but Adrienne strikes onto quite a few insights that makes this fanfic just a little more special, especially considering how this is about someone who isn't often written about in fanfiction.

     Demando, in his thoughts, goes back to past memories, and hence why I also labeled this a Historical Fanfic. A pleasing retelling from his point of view that makes one see things in a different light and I think Adrienne adds some nice touches. I realize that there are some of you whom may read this and think that the writing style, or manner of description, or the ending, may not be particularly remarkable, and I won't say that she became the sudden master of all those arts, but the insights and imagination to her retelling (for Historical fanfics require an imagination of a different sort), her perceptions, I consider most noteworthy. Definitely something for the mind to read, to awakened to something new, even if it is not necessarily for the pleasanter.
