otherworlds_lib and to FF.Net.
To my great delight, I got the first truly helpful piece of concrit in a review since I hit the Net, eight or so years ago. This Mackon person put his/her finger at the exact spot of the chapter I felt a bit off myself, without knowing exactly what was wrong with it: Harper's characterization, that he had changed perhaps too fast.
Now, I know that most people don't like their favourite charcters to change at all, but IMO, one of the greatest flaws of Andromeda's 2nd season was (aside from Saint Dylan taking over instead of the full cast) that it didn't deal properly with Harper's Magog infestation and what that might mean for him. Aside from that little scene in "Exit Strategies", he mostly went on the same cheerful, slightly manic way as always. I just don't think that he would have.
That said, the reviewer was right. Harper's mood shifts were too sudden in this chapter. And while it can be expected from a person waiting for an extremely painful and messy death in the near future, I'll have to deal with that mistake somehow in furter chapters. If I can.
In any case, it was very nice to get some concrit from a person who actually likes the story and has proper knowledge of the source material.
