This is my first attempt on this site. I will probably add more soon–for now I am figuring out how to use the site.
Summary:
Artemis believes himself to be victim of a conspiracy. Takes place immediately after the Eternity Code.

Wow, your style of writing is really nice. I like it. I like the pace of the story. And so far Artemis and Butler aren’t that OOC. Very nice. It’s very nice so far.

This is really good for a first fic. There isn’t that much OOC’ness (which I despise)and there ae abolutely no spelling or grammar errors. It’s very interesting! Update soon!

Oh my gosh! This is absolutely brilliant for a first time fic. There are no major grammar errors and I hope to expect more great stories/fics from you. (your stories are definetly better than mine)

Wow, thank you for the nice feedback, everyone! I’m trying my best to stay in character. One of my biggest problems with fan fic is I tend to make everyone a bit too emo. (I have written a few NUMB3RS and Harry Potter fics before.)
I should update later today or at least sometime very soon.

No offense, but the style is…awkward. Artemis is OOC, but only slightly. And many of the lines are a bit cliched…sorry, I’m just a picky person.

Hmm, really? I thought that Artemis was very in character.
Remarkably so, actually.
I liked it a lot. I can barely imagine what they went through with the contact lenses. That would’ve killed Butler. Someone managed to put something in their eyes!
It’s a great idea that I’ve never seen covered before.

About cliches: Eoin Colfer uses them a lot, and I am trying to incorporate some of the author’s style into my own. However, I reread my chapter and was unable to find any cliches. Perhaps what you meant was “hackneyed language,” another tendency of Colfer’s. But he does use a lot of brilliant metaphors and he uses old cliches in a new way that makes them forgivable. So, while I can see how someone might find the style annoying, I don’t plan to change it. Thanks!

You better not change it because I absolutely adore it. Your writing style (to me) is quite mature so is your explaination above.

Yes, I like your style a LOT. It’s just so grabbing. I like the updates by the way.

I only found one error. On chapter four, end of the chapter, you said Herve’. I think you meant Herve’s. Wait, I take that back. I think it should be Herve. I love giving constructive criticism, but I can’t on this story. :p
Please keep updating. I love where this is leading. You have an eye for writing, and you remind me of Eoin Colfer’s style of writing.
Write on!

Thanks for supportive compliments, everyone!
Minerva, thanks so much! Good eye there–the reason I said “Herve’” was because there should be an “accent ague” over the second e, but I have found no good way to do that without messing it up with lots of weird symbols. So I used an apostrophe instead. It was the best I could think of, and if someone knows how I can put the proper symbol in, let me know please!
Perhaps I will try copying the e from a French website.

Have you tried using the num lock thing. I’ll show you. press num lock then press alt+130 (on the number keyboard to the right of the keyboard and not the numbers at the top of the letters) to get an é and do all that but instead of alt+130 do alt+138 to get an è. Hope I helped. I actually made a word document on all the symbols as far as alt+323. That was a lot of hard work. Update soon.

I think this is really, really, good. I have only read a few fanfics, but most of them weere not very good. This story is so like the actual Artemis Fowl. Update soon!!!

It was a nice story that fi well with the books 3 and 4. Maybe Eoin Colfer should’ve used your story in the beginning of The Opal Deception.
