ohemmgee this is amazing!

Beautiful... This is so beautiful... Awesome!

Awesome! You totally nailed writing as Clockwork! I loved the whole thing! Hope to see more awesome stories from you. :) Thanks for sharing this with us.

DAMN that was awesome.

for something that was your first PoV fic, you did great. especially with a complex character like clockwork. im on chapter 30 of checkmate as of this review, and i have place the sequels to it on my follow to remind myself to read them. *chuckles* this fic is going on my favorites and from what ive read so far on CM, that story will too. its simply... a matter of time. *grins*

Love it! Right now I'm in chapter 26 or 27 of Checkmate. It is really good! Just wanted to take a few minute break before I go back. Love this oneshot and Checkmate! They are both so well written. Write more soon!

Yeah, I agree.. Finding yourself and using this knowledge can find and change your fate *grin*

I have actually been reading your Checkmate story, for a while now, and I soon decided to read this story, to see what Clockwork's been up to.

Truth be told, I've recently gotten into Danny Phantom and I do say, it's interesting, although I wished that it had more. I honestly love the whole setting both here and in your story. It intrigued me and the development of the characters is so...wonderful. I honestly wished the last season was like this...it would have been nice.

Wonderful one-shot and I will continue reading your story, until the end. You'll definitely see me review again. ;)

You write Clockwork's character really well. He's also one of my favorite Danny Phantom characters, so I'm happy to see something written in his perspective.

Very interesting, Pearl. I must ask, is this foreshadowing or flashback in Clockwork's eyes? I had to be a little humorous there. Anyway, very...enlightening to read this little one-shot. Though, it is hard for me to call it a one-shot when it goes with the Checkmate story. I must admit, I didn't really want to catch up with updates for that because now I am on that huge cliff hanger, but alas, I must wait for you to finish the next chapter and post it. For now though, I will start reading Dawning of a Sun. One again, great little one-shot here.

wow. i didnt think anybody could get into Clockwork's mnd like that. But you prove me wrong. I stand corrected. *looks down and realized I am sitting* *stands up* OK, now I stand corrected. *applauds for a chapter well written*

A. Maz. Ing. This was simply and spectaculary amazing! You nailed Clockowork better than even Hartman! And that's saying something! This was so unreal and revealing.

You are amazing. Only word I can think of to describe what I have just read. I mean... It's phenomanal! You pegged Clockwork's personality perfectly, and showed insight into the Master of Time that most of us never though possible.

You have just gave me an idea for my story too! Yay! You rule so much! *glomps* I love your stuff!

I cannot believe I didn't read this earlier. Already I've seen all these little clips of the story except the last one (I think, I can't remember). But anyway, the first person is really good. Especially with Clockwork first person. He seems like he would be the most difficult one to do a first person with. Anyway, you did a good job with it.

Ooh. Great look at Clockwork's inner dialogue. And, despite your hesitation, I think you did a fair job with a first-person POV. :) Hints to the future-the ghost gauntlets will come into play at some point (was there any doubt?), more allusions to Niane's hidden power... I was surprised that Danny's dream scene, with Clockwork and the Observants, didn't come up; I may have missed something in the original story, but I still have some unanswered questions about that...

Great job and thanks for writing! :D

Simply amazing! I can't believe how well you portrayed Clockwork's character, simply breath taking! I only discovered your Checkmate piece 3 weeks ago, and read it all in less than 15 days (even with full-time schooling and work, I would easily sit for 6 hours at a time reading!). Your writing is so engrossing and in-depth, I love it. The reflection you place into the characters is... well, it's amazing! Your greatest accomplishment in your work would be, in my opinion, your fantastic ability to stay true to the characters. This may sound corny, but during the time that I was reading Checkmate, I had some major life altering decisions and obligations to make in life, and the way you wrote Vlad helped me through it. In the beginning, his cold actions and Danny's reaction helped me realize the way I was looking at some of the family issues at home, and the way he spoke to Danny later on helped me to reaffirm and support many of my decisions.

Suffice to say, your writing has had a monumental effect on me, and I am very happy to have discovered it at such a crucial point in my life. I wanted to tell you how much your writing can affect a individual. Though, really, if I had read it at any other time, I feel that it wouldn't have been as powerful for me. That's why I'm grateful I found it when I did. :)

Please, PLEASE, continue to update often! I actually check numerous times daily to see if there are any updates; I've become quite obsessed. ;D
