This post is pertaining to the three charming reviews I received for my last chapter of this fic.
I was rather upset by them, so I am going to address the authors of those reviews here.
I fully admit that the storyline is becoming more and more like the storyline of Pitch Black and I apologize for that. I am hoping to correct it with the next chapter.
As for the other points posed in the flames, I would like to attempt to address them in a civilized manner.
All of you accuse Cassandra of being a Mary-Sue.
As it is, I did a Mary-Sue litmus test on her, as I do with all my characters that I create.
Cassandra scored 12 out of a possible 170 points and for the test, 0-14 is "0-14 Developed character, unlikely MS."
Maybe I have written her as somewhat of a Mary-Sue, but seeing as you are the first complaints I have received about her, most others appear to like her.
Concerning Riddick's name change and eye de-shine, if you were a wanted murderer and were trying to blend in with society, would you keep your name, one that everyone knows and just the mention of it would bring the police/mercs running ?
I didn't think so......
A lot of people have brought up the subject of Riddick's eyeshine and this is my reasoning behind it.
Everyone knows that Riddick has shined eyes, so wouldn't the mercs just look for a big guy wearing dark goggles ? My solution........get rid of the shine.
For everyone who actually likes the story, don't worry the shine will be back in the sequel.
I also quite clearly state that Cassandra's eyes aren't shined, she suffers from a genetic disorder. Please read the entire fic, before criticizing me on the smaller details.
In closing I would like to respond to your harshness in your flames with this.
None of you have actually written fics and posted them on the site for people to criticize at their own free will.
Please consider how you would feel if someone slammed the fic that you were really proud of and had spent a long time working on, next time you are thinking about writing a flame.
Make your criticism constructive and don't be too harsh or you may just get some backlash.
This applies to everyone who constantly writes flames.
Thank you,

I would like to offer up a chance for everyone to speak their minds on this.
After reading this post and the 3 flames, feel free to review and tell me what you think.
If you want the fic gone, let me know.
If I get more than 10 bad reviews after putting this post up, I will gladly take the fic down and will not set about writing a sequel.
Please tell me what you think of this story, I would really like to know.
I would also like to post the first of the good responses to the flames, in this author note, because the author of the review requested it.
This comes from cutleryismyfriend and they have this to say:
heyhey little kidlet! I was all bored and decided I would read your reviews. The Three Stupids at the top of your reviews (heehee, a joke relating to the Three Stooges-have you ever seen a rerun of it? it's so primordially funny!-to answer your question, no, i don't know what primordially means, but they use it alot in Underworld fics during sex scenes-Yes, to answer your next question, i've started to adore Underworld fics-it could possibly be because i FINALLY saw the movie?) Anyway, where were we? ahh, yes, the Three Stupids, (LIEKOMGWTFBBQLOLOLZ-god, who names themself that?Yes, i do agree its something, YES, someTHING incredibly stupid-, Sue-Killing Machine-oh. the originality awes me- and IEATFLOOD- no comment.-) all appear to be Kravens with no brains (wait, did Kraven ever have brains?) They are below even having a primordial fist shook at them. Yes, i agree, they should get on their tricycles and leave. Also, just to cheer y'all up, none of them have EVEN written anything. could it be they are afraid of being flamed? oh, yes, i'm seeing a complex emerging from the midst. But my major problem is, if people don't like a story why don't they just stop reading it?
So thank you, cutleryismyfriend and I am hoping that most of you agree with them.
