Detective2Conan chapter 5 . 5/3/2014
Just had to right a song fic didn't ya
Lady of the Shards chapter 5 . 8/26/2013
A tad disappointed that Lady A didn't show up at the end. Loved the bit where Anna made all the boys feel uncomfortable. *evil smirk* It's always amusing. I really liked this story overall, it was very clever. Is the sequel out yet? Either way I'm gonna add you to my subscription.

"Many people screamed, but this was the first time someone had actually fainted."

Oh, I remember a case were a witness fainted. ;-) The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case, Episode 141-142. But you're right, many witnesses don't react in a realistic way ...

Interesting story so far.

This was really well written and I'm glad you managed to write a proper investigation. It really seemed authentic which not everyone is able to pull off. I can't wait for the sequel!

It looks like I forgot to submit the review for Chapter 3. I'll try to put down as much as I can remember.

Poor Heiji and Conan. I wouldn't want to see a musical like that either. "This was like the fantasies of every average teenage girl rolled up into feathers and angels, presented in the neatly tied-on bow called a 'musical', which made everything about a hundred times worse." Oh so true. :)

It's funny how Kazuha and Ran pull Conan and Heiji away from detective work. Inspector Megure is also really funny here.

Was Sara faking her crush on Kaitou Kid in order to hide why she was interested in Japan? It just seems a bit strange for a Black Org. member to openly admit to liking an enemy of the Organization. Also, did the Black Org. put Sara's name on the guest list?

Finally, "Can I use your idea for codenaming certain people with different words?" Sure!
mountainelements chapter 4 . 2/15/2013
I've already reviewed Chapter 5 so this'll have to be for Chapters 4 and 5 together.

"Everyone – with the exception of the three singers who were the current suspects – had a perfect alibi, something that couldn't be refuted even with poor mispronunciations, lack of understanding in idioms and culture differences." Funny how that usually happens in cases where Conan's involved. :)

Poor Shinichi has seen too many dead bodies. :(

I don't like Anna, but I doubt that this is the last of her. She seems very suspicious, but I can't quite explain how.

"Daughters of men who was, or had been a police officer some point in their lives, and they hung around detectives most of their time. Shinichi had no doubt about their searching abilities." It's good to see Ran and Kazuha being viewed as competent. Sonoko does a good job of comforting Annika.

I don't get the point of trying to get rid of Sara's loose feathers. How would it have resulted in the murderer being caught? I can understand why it would be important after that one feather was stuck to him but not before he touched any of the feathers.

"Now they needed another contact in there." I'm guessing that "in there" refers to the singing group connected to Lady A? That also means that Armagnac isn't a member of the group.

I had fun rereading this. Thanks for posting it!

Poor Heiji and Shinichi. :) It's funny just how much Sam bothers them.

Hmm, I wonder if Yuusaku really was delayed by editors. I personally think that he uses "editors" as a private code name for a type of people. Maybe it means, "members of the Black Organization"?

"He had found out when his mother had told him, but he doubted his mom would have told that much editors, no matter what his dad did wrong this time." It should be "many" instead of "much" here. "Many" is used for things that can be counted while "much" is for things that must be measured instead. "Many oranges" and "too much sugar" are examples.

I'm not really liking Sara or Anna here. Poor Anika. Conan has gotten really good at pretending to be a kid. :)

Heiji's pep talk is great. :) I like your portrayal of Ai here.
mountainelements chapter 1 . 2/15/2013
I decided to reread this story to try to catch any clues for the sequels. I liked these lines, "About as unlikely as there being two internationally wanted pacifist thieves in the country, in the same area. About as unlikely as him ever running into a cleverly-disguised murder. It wasn't like such things happened to him on a daily basis. No, it was more weekly."

You may want to see if someone can beta this story for you. You have a few grammar errors, and that can put some people off before they get drawn into the plot. You definitely deserve more readers so I'm hoping that improving the grammar helps. I'm not an English major or a Detective Conan expert, but here's one instance I noticed by just reading through:

"Seeing just how much of the well-known, powerful people in the world had been a part of the Organization for his shrunken state, he knew there was a chance for a member of the Black Organization to be there."

I think that "much" should be "many". I don't think that you should put "in the world", as Conan usually stays in Japan. (Has he ever left the country?) Also, I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "for his shrunken state". Maybe you can say something like "Seeing just how many of the well-known, powerful people he had met in his shrunken state had later turned out to be part of the Organization, he knew that there was a chance for a member of the Black Organization to be there."

You also tend to overuse commas. In general, you shouldn't put a comma before "because" and only put a comma before "and", "or", or "but" if the two parts of the sentence can be broken up into two complete sentences.

Examples:
Heiji wore a suit and came with Kazuha.
Heiji wore a suit, and he came with Kazuha.
Heiji wore a suit. He came with Kazuha.

I hope this helps. Sorry if it sounds nitpicky.

Awesome!
I may translate it in the future into French if you do not mind me doing so. And you will get proper credits for sure.
Congrats, I will read the sequel after work
