julilly:
Which page is the halfway survey on? I can't find it. :/

mare:
Hrmm I think maybe 6?

julilly:
Disregard! Crisis averted. I checked every page except the one it was on.

Name of the story:

1) Since you started the story, has it lead you down the path you thought it would or have there been any surprises you didn't see coming?

I feel like at this point the story has established a formula and is sticking with it. There hasn't been too many surprises once the major plot points were revealed.

2) How is the pacing of the story? Do you feel like there are too many filler chapters or is it moving too quickly?

I'd say it's moving along at a steady pace. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of filler but I don't feel like it's jumping too far forward either.

3) Is it easy to understand?

Very much so! Ritz's English is much better than she gives herself credit for, I think. She does a good job of painting a mental image.

4) Have the characters fully developed to your liking? If not, what are they lacking?

I feel like this story, like most fanfic, uses an assumption that you know details about the characters just because you know who they "are". I'm guilty of it too, but there isn't a whole lot by way of character development done by the author because there's an expectation that you already know the details of their personality.

5) Is this something you are still excited to finish?

Ritz might think I have checked out but honestly I'm just a slow reader. I can never sit down and read something straight through. I have about 5 chapters left to catch up to the last updated chapter and I'm looking forward to them!

6) Tell us something you feel has stood out about the story. The biggest strength thus far

I don't know if any one thing in particular has jumped out at me so far but then again the story is really only at the middle. There's so much more than could develop as the plot continues to arc so I think there's a big opportunity for stand-out moments. At this point though I would say the uniqueness of the plot is the story's biggest strength.

7) Do you feel like your reading partner has been reading and reviewing your work fairly and has been participating as they should?

She was awesome! She is a much better reader and me and finished H&H in one go. She left me some great reviews that I was super appreciative of.

8) Any questions for the author now that you're halfway through?

Hmm. No, I don't think I do. Not YET anyway!

That's so funny, the editor at the magazine I've been working at this summer uses the term "yellowize" and I always laugh. Apparently it's more common than I thought!
