Comment on Crossing The Path Of Time

    I caught up with this fic earlier, came back to write a comment for it, and found that a new chapter had been posted. What luck! :D

    Anyway, I'm having a hard time compiling my thoughts on this 500,000+ word fic into an Ao3-comment-friendly format, so for now I'll just write three things that have most strongly come to mind recently, and I can always add more thoughts that I have when they come up at future chapters.

    1. I flippin' adore all versions of Dazzle, Jack, Solar, and Molten that appear in this fic. They've all been caught up in disastrous situations but they've been doing their best despite all of that and I wish them all the best.
    2. I have never once been able to predict what was going to happen in this story, much to my delight. The goose army in Chapter 15 holds an especially special place in my heart.
    3. Based on the subject matter of heroes and mythology-esque worldbuilding, combined with the massive wordcount, I'm pretty sure this fanfiction legitimately qualifies as a modern epic. Specifically, I feel inclined to label it what some up-and-coming academics would call a "protean epic", a.k.a. an epic that figuratively shifts forms to provide different angles/perspective/alternatives over the course of its sweeping story.

    For sure one of the most unique fics on my imaginary shelf, and I mean that in a good way. Not flawless, but undeniably an absolute joy to read. Thank you to the author for sharing all this with us.

      Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I never expected for everything to be put in this format. You put this into detail and I like it. It gives me more motivation to keep going and to plan out what I want to put in mostly since I want to keep the story a line to the Canon show and what's been written from Chapter 1 all the way to now. I try my best to put it in the best way possible mostly since I want to keep making designs that match the characters and put more interesting topics or details that would make the series grow until I reach my goal to 100 chapters or at least a part that the story comes to an end and has meant it's purpose of what the story is titled as. Thank you for telling me everything that you said. It means a lot to me and I'll try to make it better or at least keep it on track of the story. :D
