I saw the note in your story summary, so just thought I'd say you can choose more than one category by holding the control key and clicking whatever ones you want.

It was interesting and a surprising twist in one of your stories to see the more absolute evil character getting the shrink treatment and the supposed protagonist eventually coming around to the kind of decision the more twisted one would make by the end. Heck yeah for fun character development stuff.

Very enjoyable. The playfulness of the dialogue made the characters feel lifelike. It would be neat to see a return for them; this is probably my favorite of your stories in terms of set-up.

Well, I'm glad I was able to indirectly lead to the posting of this, cuz it's real good. Like you said in your review of mine, the familiar premise works great if handled right. This world allows you to dig into the story first and trust that we get the gist of behind-the-scenes stuff. The character personalities are also very well-defined here and made me immediately intrigued to see more. And that pudding scene... geez. Steamy.

Whew. I'm usually terrible at leaving more than one review on stories, so consider this my emphatic vote that you keep up the good work. The gentle stuff here was nice to make the dynamic of the characters more complicated, and advanced May and April past being purely malicious into something more interesting and lifelike.

Love it. Nice to get some info on the mother to help give context for her family situation. It builds the world a little more. I liked how the interaction with April went too. Interesting to see June exhibit some agency, however small her influence.

And I'd watch the hell out of that sitcom. I almost found myself wishing it could've been fleshed out more here, if only to further illustrate the state of things in this world, though I understand it was serving a purpose for June's character. The jerk in me is sad to see June leave her sisters, since those previous chapters were so much fun, but from a narrative standpoint it seems like the logical thing for her to make her move.

Do go on!

Sorry for letting up on commentary; time keeps getting away. Anyway, overall this was a lovely mix of complicated emotions and fetish action. The May chapters especially were among my favorites. The subtle ways of letting the larger world come through, such as that boy in the shoe, helped give the narrative more texture. Certainly as a whole it's my favorite thing you've put out. I do confess to some disappointment with the ambiguity of the ending and June's relationship with her sisters. I understand the vibe you were going for, but it felt like just a little too much being left to the reader given how hard they were to read in the past - it ended up feeling slightly inconsistent without more guidance. Just one opinion, of course, and it's not something I would've focused on if most everything else wasn't working so well. June's ranting in the final chapters especially was very cathartic and helped endear her even more. I'll look forward to reading whatever else you decide to post.

Very enjoyable. You're pacing their interactions well, and have a definite knack for finding fun in the subtlety of their teasing.

I appreciate macro fics that respect the source material while still having some fun with it. I feel like I remember Todd turning into coins in the movie, but could be wrong. Regardless, good stuff. I'd happily read anything else you wrote with the other characters. Roxy might be fun to see.

Author's Response:

He did, yes. However, the creator of the comics explained in an interview that those defeated by Scott just woke up in their rooms the next day, none of them permanently died.
