well i just have one thing to say before i go vote today. i love your story, and i would love to see more of it soon. oh and one more thing it said you updated today and i was soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy but then i looked at the chapters and i cryed. (not liturualy) so off i go to vote keep up the good work and i can wait for more.^_^

Here's the gushing. :D

First off, let me say this; I have not played Silent Hill, nor have I seen the film. I'm now interested in SH4, but it may still be a while before I can play, what with final exams and so on. But, the very fact that I don't need to have (much) background knowledge of Silent Hill to enjoy this fic is a commendation unto you. It really is as if Daniel is discovering and experiencing all of this mind-bending stuff for the first time, and it isn't cheapened by the narrator inserting a bit of assumed canonical detail, if you get what I mean. The descriptions from Daniel are the only way they are introduced. It just so happens that those descriptions are absolutely delicious as well, which makes it all the better.

That was very meandering, sorry. Essentially - "Yay, fic I can understand and sucks me in as well!".

On that note, the pacing is very good in of itself. There is no apparent rush to get to the 'good bits' as it can be in other fiction. There are justifications for
actions, emotional detail that is not just glib fodder. Can practically see the causality happening; A does this because he feels this which causes B to happen which then causes A to feel C, which then leads to D. All of these factors are pretty much taken into account, and there is nothing (at least, what I feel) that comes flying awkwardly out of left field.

Finally you have good, solid characters. From what I hear, the canon characters are pretty much in character (with Henry admittedly being a tad too talkative, but that is forgivable when the only company you have is Walter). Your original characters are sympathetic, who are for the most part not trite nor unbelievable. Melanie may have been just slightly overdone at first, but now that I know why she's the way she is, it makes her all the more awesome.

And Daniel. He's normal. An absolute novelty. Just watching him trying to cope but not quite being able to is heart-wrenching. Incredibly intriguing, too. You pull off madness very well, too.

Looking forward to the next chapter~ <3

Nooo! Cliffhanger!

But I need to know what's going to happen....

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this fic, real life interferes.

But damn, I was happy to see that you'd done so much in my absence.
At least now I'll have a lot to re-read whilst I eagerly await more.

As always this is a thrilling, terrifying, gory, beautiful piece of writing, and I am enthralled.

Bad me for not having reviewed your story before. BAD !
I'd like to leave lengthy reviews like Sephykoi, but I have an excuse : chronical laziness (*shows medical certificate*). :p
But I had to leave a review because of Chapter 6 : it reminded me so much of the infamous "Soul bond" scene from "Rare effects". Both texts are among my favorite Erotic/Scary scenes. Maybe it's the "Coooome... Yes, yiiiield to meee..." that I like so. When I read this, I'm both fre"NONONONONONONO, stay away !" and curious about

(Damn... Sephykoi, I sympathise with you)
As I said, during these scenes I'm both freaked out and curious about what Saddler/Wesker/Walter/Valtiel is planning to do (What a sadist I am... Sorry Leon and Daniel. ;p).
Another thing I like : you have the same kind of scenes in your two stories, but you manage to respect the proper "atmosphere" ("ambiance" in french ; I dunno if my english is correct here) of each fandom. I mean that your RE stories have a RE ambiance, while your SH have a SH ambiance ; and both are equally fun to read.

Chapter Seven:

Daniel's descent is really intense in this chapter and I think you've conveyed that perfectly. The raw emotion flows and it's not overdramatized or even under -- just the right amount. I definitely love every scene with Valitiel. Besides Daniel, he's my favorite in this story. The conversation between Henry and Daniel kind of gave me a peace about things, and of course it didn't last long. *laughs* But that small moment was a nice addition... it helped to even out the darkness consuming Daniel's world. Poor, poor guy...

The ending of this chapter, from Daniel collapsing and on is really, really intense and I loved every minute of it. The pace was good... the dialogue was not cliched, and I love the desperation in Frank to get to Daniel before it's too late.

And you left off at such a cliffhanger! *flails* I can't wait to see what Daniel will see. It's going to be good. ^_^ Thanks for sharing, love.

Good God woman, you can't just stop there! You are so very, very cruel.

Please update again soon, this is simply amazing!

Sorry it took me so long to check out this story.

Wow! This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever read. It's also very well written, and the characters are incredibly well developed. I really like Daniel and Melanie, and Lucia's rather interesting, though I hope Andre finds himself face to face with a certain immortal in a blue trenchcoat eventually. I doubt he'll be all macho and bad ass then. ;)

You've also done a very good job with Henry. He has a real personality that was sorely lacking in SH4, and he definitely has some balls for lasting so long against Walter. Alessa was creepy...it sounds like she's definitely unstable wherever she is. Valtiel is equally as unsettling. It's pretty easy to get used to him in SH3 and even poke fun at him for being so passive and weird. It's nice to see a story where he shows his true colors.

Overall, you're doing an excellent job with this story so far. I'm definitely looking forward to more. :D

...damn you and your cliffhangers!!!RAWR

*cough* anyway, great chapter, I felt myself going crazy and anxious while reading it!

I think theres a small spelling error..somewhere...I know I saw it, but when I looked back I couldnt find it! It might of been just me though..

oh yes, and that "Little bitch better pick that up…" part with the doll, MADE-MY-DAY!!! Oh man, I laughed so hard at that part, thats exactly what I would say if I was him..ahh..good times...good times...

And his little muse is making me hate her....I think I know whats going on, and that little 'hint' Walter said about his 'creations' made it click, I see where this is going..

Wow.
What can I say, it's fantastic, and your cliffhangers and abilitiy to keep everyone in character is astounding. I'm eagerly awaiting more from you, you've got me hooked.
