I hope he give her heartburn.
Author's Response:
But it was vore love at first sight.

If he does escape, he'll be Hum-free!
Author's Response:
Very good!
Date: October 21 2011 12:15 PM Title: Chapter 70: ANN'S FAN'S FANTASY
Oh, Humphrey, you poor sap!
Author's Response:
Sap in the soup?

nice touch writing Carroll into the story. I also enjoy the puns in the chapter titles.
Author's Response:
Thanks for saying so.
I thought his Charles Dodgson identity doesn't otherwise get enough notice, and he was a great instrument for me to put some christian message into it.
Date: October 18 2011 12:28 PM Title: Chapter 69: AN ORPHAN IS CHOSEN
Aw! What a disappointing anti-climax.
:-(
Author's Response:
Oh, and that reminds me, the other reader (previous review response) had seen Into the Woods too, and thought your review comment was interesting.
Date: October 18 2011 12:27 PM Title: Chapter 68: IT'LL BE A CAKE WALK
And, Poppet grows up to become...Jack the Giantess-Killer!
Seriously, though: these last three chapters were the most suspenseful, yet. I read them in one sitting!
Author's Response:
Reminds me of another reader who told me by email (before he did start on this story) "I wanted to check out AIG, but was daunted by the large size of it". He didn't realise his pun.

Don't tell me; let me guess. She'll cook Stephen, but eat Poppet fresh.
Author's Response:
Well it's even Stephen chances on that.
Date: October 18 2011 8:48 AM Title: Chapter 64: A WARM WELCOME
Good riddance! I was getting bored with his constant whining about _not_ getting eaten.
Author's Response:
It gets very annoying, doesn't it? To paraphrase Flanders and Swan, she'll eat him, even if she can't digest his opinion.
Date: October 18 2011 8:46 AM Title: Chapter 63: A FRIEND TO CONFIDE IN
Ah-ha! Now, comes the "escape attempt."
Author's Response:
Looking back on this chapter, I see an unintentional pun in the title "A Friend to confide IN"
Date: October 18 2011 8:45 AM Title: Chapter 62: THE HEART BEFORE THE COURSE
Well, at least it's not a birdcage.
Author's Response:
No, but the cat and MOUSE agenda may yet come into play again.
Date: October 18 2011 8:44 AM Title: Chapter 61: TO PLEASE LOUISE
So, he'll finally get his wish, huh?
Author's Response:
No surprises there. Just enjoyable graphic detail.
Date: October 13 2011 10:00 AM Title: Chapter 60: TENDER LICKING CARE
Pix-is finally showing some good sense.*
* I do not use the phrase "common sense," anymore, as that is a contradiction in terms. Much like "happily married."
;-)
Author's Response:
Well the Devil has used every tactic (including television and movie-glorified adultery) to destroy the institution of marriage, but I'm going to trust God and wait and hope and not undermine anyone else's marriage.
Love your opening pun in this review. I wonder if he's seen it yet.
Date: October 13 2011 9:58 AM Title: Chapter 59: MRS PARKIN'S PROMISE
*Still shaking my head in pity for Pixi.*
Author's Response:
Well he'll be happy in future chapters.
Date: October 13 2011 9:56 AM Title: Chapter 58: GULP GOES THE GRIZEL?
Heh! I thought sure they were going to be eaten by a (female) troll living under the bridge.
:-(
Author's Response:
I can't believe this thing's reached 8000 read count in less than 2 weeks.
Date: October 13 2011 9:52 AM Title: Chapter 57: A TONGUE TIED GOVERNESS
Rats! I thought it might be Indiana Jones' boulder. :-(
Author's Response:
He'd have to be BOLDER in this story
Date: October 13 2011 9:50 AM Title: Chapter 56: PIXI DECLARES HIS LOVE
He may now be the size of an insect to her. But, that doesn't men Mrs. Parkin should eat him.
"Just say 'no' to bugs."
Author's Response:
She may just have to ad lick
Date: October 12 2011 3:14 PM Title: Chapter 55: MRS PARKIN'S VISITOR
And, here's where "we" must break for a little something called "food and drink."
Author's Response:
Will Mrs Parkin do the same?
What, or who, will be the food?
Stay tuned for future chapters.
Date: October 12 2011 3:13 PM Title: Chapter 54: A SECOND HELPING OF CAKE
Be careful what you wish for, Pixi. You might get it.
Author's Response:
For once, I had the woman act the way most women would in this situation, ie with reluctance to eat the boy and difficulty in understanding his urge.
Date: October 12 2011 3:11 PM Title: Chapter 52: THE BRAINY PIXIE
*Shakes head in half-serious pity.*
Author's Response:
Pity poor Pixie (for all you Paul Weller / Jam fans).
Date: October 12 2011 3:10 PM Title: Chapter 53: LEVELS OF ACTING
*Pity becomes fully serious.*
Author's Response:
PLAY-fully so.
