Luny Loona 2008-04-26 ch 47, anon.	abuseSorry about the short length of my last review. I hadn't finished it. In some places, I find you mix up colons and semicolons, but I'm sure you'll fix those up in your revisions. Anyway, I hope you do publish your story! It's great, and even though you based it off fairy tales, there's a great amount of originality that's gone into it. Happy going with the sequel!
Luny Loona 2008-04-26 ch 47,	abuse...'Victor and Helena to Stacey’s glee'...I thought Stacey's child was Vincent?
Luny Loona 2008-04-25 ch 11,	abuseI like the way you portrayed Stacey's character - she seems a lot more complex than...just what she was a few chapters ago.
Luny Loona 2008-04-25 ch 10,	abuseI find it strange that Stacey would just have guts to confide in Drusilla. Nevertheless, the direction's good. I hope they reunite as sisters.
Luny Loona 2008-04-25 ch 3,	abuseI won't say much as of now, but I love the point of view you have chosen to take :)
Jaded Panic 2008-04-20 ch 1,	abuseO this seems very interesting so far. :D Off to read the rest. :)
Generik 2008-04-19 ch 47,	abuseI found this story through SKOW where Cindy was awarded best villain. I thought to myself, 'A story with Cinderella as the villain? Awesome.' And it was indeed. It kept me hooked from beginning to the end. The characters were well thought of, they all had reasons for their actions. Dru was very believable. Many times there are stories where the heroine believes she is ugly as sin but once described actually sounds decent. But Dru had a very good reason to think so, because everyone had told her so. I liked very much how you began Dru's and Alex's relationship - when they were children. As the story progressed, so did their relationship and it grew. It wasn't just forced into the reader's faces that 'they were meant to be.' Dru had her doubts and when Alex was young, it sounded as if he was bored and this relationship was just something to keep him occupied. But you did develop it to more than a statement love and described the progression from infatuation to love throughout the chapters. And Cinderella, one of my favorite characters. She was just so twisted and I liked how at times she was truly evil and others, she seemed like she mellowed. I'm not one for reading long chaptered stories but this one, I absolutely loved. So thank you for the great read and I hope to read more of your stories!
Arrow's Flight 2008-04-09 ch 47,	abuseLovely. You captured a girl whose frozen in place by her insecurites, and allowed us to watch her grow. Kudos on your writing, which took me through a rollar coaster ride of ups and downs. You gave me the happily ever after (of a sort), while remaining true to life's trials. Absolutely lovely. -Arrow's Flight-
E.Maginitive 2008-04-05 ch 32,	abuseI'm sure an explanation will come forth in the next chapter but as of now, at end of chapter 31, I despise Alex. I truly, utterly, despise him with a burning indignant passion.
A.K.A. Writer's Block 2008-03-28 ch 47,	abuseMan,I like this version of Cinderella SO much more than the original! And there's a sequel? Yay! And is it about Helena? Because I already ADORE her! YOU ROCK MY SOCKS OFF. YOU ARE THE . THIS STORY'S IS THE CAT'S PYJAMAS. I can't think of any more funnily phrased ways to say that you and this story are the coolest things on earth, but they are. XOXO, Isabel.

K.B. and C.B. 2008-03-26 ch 47,	abuseOh. My. God. You are my idol! That was the BEST Story I've ever read in a long time... You already have me rushing to read the sequel!! WOW! I can already imagine the sequel being as good, if not better, than this! My only regret: Not being the 300th review for this AMAZING story! -K.B.
Roman C Lee 2008-03-20 ch 47,	abuseI tried to think of some flaws in your story; any flaws actually, but i can't. Your story is one that i can't give constructive critacism on because it doesn't have any faults! It truly does have a creative plot and deserves to win the vote! I love this story so much, i think, because of it's plot actually. Because I would always think "Oh, well, thats the que. This story is going to end like so many others." But it didn't; the plot twists kept coming, and i was entangled in the weaving words of your story to the point where I stayed up all night and day, just reading it; I couldn't go to sleep until i had found a point in the story that wouldn't have me up all night, wondering and hoping what would happen next. I think i also liked your story so much because of the characers; especially the way you portrayed your villian: Cindy. She was different from any villian i had read in any story or watcher in any movie; her motive made sence, and yet they did not; her desperation for the fairy tale happy ending had me overflowing with distaste and pity. Also, your main character captivated me; Dru is a memorable charater who all your readers will fall in love with by the second chapter. Plus, your writing has so much emotion clinging to each word-each sylable- that I was instantly removed from reality upon my completion of the first chapter; I entered the world you were describing to us and I didn't even realize it until I was removed from it. Once i had finnished your story i was estatic to realize that you were writing Hellena's story; thank you!
Miss Toadstool 2008-03-19 ch 1,	abusecongrats CINDY on best villain! she's bad in the new stories, but she was just amazingly so in this ... and the best part was that she didn't lack depth! I'm thinking about rereading just for the memories. Dru was such a mature character too! ohh the memories :)
Roman C Lee 2008-03-18 ch 11,	abuseI am very happy to admit that i am IN LOVE WITH YOUR STORY! I have every belief that it will get published; believe it! ^_^ Your story is enchanting, free of frequent errors and eloquently written! I may be laying it on a little thick but no more than this story deserves! Keep writing; it's a marvelouse gift to us all! :)
