Loading ...A/N: A series of drabbles.
Summary: We all crave to be the best for the Artemis Fowl characters it is more then that. For some of them it is a way to be in control, for others a way to survive, or a necessity, and for some it is just too easy. A series of drabbles. More to come.
He turned to face his partner and set into his stance. They began to move, smooth as fluid.
He was in the center of a whirl of defense and attack, each strike that made contact shook him. The pain was something ordinary; the shock that rippled through his body was a distraction.
He returned the attacks with deadly accuracy. To end the fight he maneuvered his victim’s arm behind his back. Any movement and his opponent would be in tremendous pain.
Another success, it was necessary, to protect his job and his friend. He had proven himself the best, again.

I really like it Opal. Very descrptive. You can feel what the character is feeling. I love that when I read.
December 5th, 2007 at 11:02 pm
I like it. You are very desriptive, and you have good grammar too. It’s also very understandable. Shorter than most, but otherwise a very good story. 5 stars.

black opal- i meant to give it a 5 , but i hit four , ( soorryyy) is there anyway i can change that?
December 5th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
No, but it doesn’t really matter. Four is great.

I liked it Opal, but my grandmother types 115 words per minute. And what exactly was Artemis doing?
December 6th, 2007 at 3:00 am
It doesn’t really matter, I don’t think. Probably something criminal.
Each drabble was better than the last, Opal- the Artemis one, is, of course, my favorite. I like how being “the best” somehow isn’t enough for him.
Though, Butler’s was not very… interesting, for lack of a better word. It didn’t really capture my attention.

lol I like the Artemis one!

MMK, the Butler one was my favourite.
That’s because I got it from personal experience (though I’m not even close to as amazing as Butler), and I do Martial Arts, and I know the feeling of a fight. But maybe that’s what made it less exciting for others, the whole thing was obviously not based on my experience, but the part that was might have thrown off the whole thing.
It was also the last one I wrote (I put them in backwards) and it was late.
Thanks for the reviews.
Minerva Paradizo- It doesn’t really matter, hacking, transferring money from one account to the other, anything really. And you’re right, maybe 100 words a minute is too slow. I type at 50, and I’m not exactly speedy.
December 6th, 2007 at 4:07 am
Oh- I didn’t realize that.
Now I think that Butler’s was least interesting for me just because I have absolutely no experience in martial arts or anything similar to it. Since I can’t relate, it’s less interesting. Probably it’s more interesting to someone like you, who’s been involved in a physical fight.

I LOVE PHISICAKL FIGHTING! I DO IT TO MY BROTHER ALL THE TIME! But the butler one was like okay ,…….. not as interesting as the holly and artemis one though , but still it was good , you should do more , maybe something for Root , Minerva , Foaly ect;
December 6th, 2007 at 9:28 am
I disagree. I love the butler one. But not so much as the Artemis one. I LOVED that one, As MMK said.. being the best isnt enough for Artemis… Opal, may it be too much to request that you write a story for me? like i give you the story line- characters, etc. But you put the story together? i just love your stories THAT much!Its ok if you dont want to. But iwould LOVE it if you did.

mahi- I have a Root, Foaly, and Opal one written up, I just have to fix them up. I wouldn’t know what to do with Minerva, we don’t really know enough about her.
Unappreciated Genius- Aw, thanks a bunch. I could try, but it may take a while because I have a lot of school work (I’m doing schoolwork right now) but I can try. I’m not very good with a plot though. XD

YAY! MOre story!
December 7th, 2007 at 12:54 am
Love the updates!
December 8th, 2007 at 3:18 am
I didnt like the Root one as much as the others. im still in love with the Artemis one!
December 8th, 2007 at 3:23 am
Black Opal , still the artemis one is great , I still luv them!

I understand you not wanting to do a Minerva one - I mean - its really risky. When the sixth book comes out, we could find out that shes the opposite of what you said she was, if you did write one for her.
I personally liked Artemis’ one - wanting a challenge, but being unable to find one.

I liked Artemis’s and Foaly’s the best. I think those two were teh most interesting. Good job
