giRLAddiCted 2008-09-02 ch 1,	abusesque This is by the far the most ADORABLE piece of family related story I had EVER read. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I mean the premise of it was so friggen adorable and the characters were so AWESOME!! I love Daddy Silas...and that last bit about not getting any...had me laughing my butt off. Oh boy...this is truly an awesome one shot. I shall check the box that says "Add story to my Favorite Stories list" clicky
Lady DreamWriter 2008-04-16 ch 1,	abuseThis was a rather funny piece to me. I loved how you placed a story within a story. It made me smile to see the family having fun taking on different roles in turn. I laughed when the mother came in and brought everyone back to reality, reminding us that we all have different roles to play, even though some of them admittedly aren’t as fun as others. Great job as always with the detail and the realism of the scene, I hope that one day I’ll join your list of favorite reviewers too! Tammy Member of Reviewers-Found Founder of Reviewers Kingdom
EncryptionsOfZink 2007-12-10 ch 1,	abuselol, that was a hilarious ending. Nice job.
GrannyP 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseThis was great! It had me laughing from the beginning. Your writing style was excellent in this story, and I like that there is kind of this mixture of childish playfulness (mostly from the dad) and more adult seriousness (when the evil queen comes in). By the way.. isn't it weird to not have reviews on a story for a while and than all of a sudden you get 2 in the same day? Haha! Anyway, nice job!
Twilight Starr 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseAww, that's a cute story. I like how they were pretending. Nice work. Good luck with writing, this story, and life. Have an excellent day. ~Twilight Starr~
SirScott 2007-10-11 ch 1,	abuseThat was cute. That always has a way of putting an end to the games. I never understood why it always started getting dark just when the games started to get interesting. ~SirScott
jekodama 2007-10-06 ch 1,	abuseOh, what a lovely story! Excellent narrative, descritpions, and although it was a short piece, the characters were very well developed. I can't find any flaws in it. Sweet, funny and adorable. Allround great! And I don't care if Faith says this review doesn't count! XD Kudos!

The Breakdancing Ninja 2006-12-16 ch 1,	abuse["And you, O' Dark Lord Silas... If you don't leave them to go to bed..." His wife walked out the room evenly saying, "then you won't be getting any tonight." ] LOL!! O man, Queen Hedda wins lmfao. What I like is that, even if these parents, in make believe, play villains, they aren't really, and the children know that. I mean, there are a lot of times when kids'll feel like their parents are only out to "get" them, and rarely do they ever experience the disenchanment of knowing their parents only worry and care about them. The story was very subtle about addressing roles that members in the family play. I really admire Ian for taking on the badguy and participating in an evening ritual with his children like that. It's really healthy, and I've never thought myself that it would be a good idea if all willing parents did the same things for their child. I felt sorry for Isa. I like her personality, because she HATES being the damsel in distress, but like every little girl, enjoys flattery and promises for better parts. I liked that she wanted to have an active role in a man's world, because even in old Knights' tales, as the story suggests, women play the damsel while all the men do all the work. Josias seems to be older and more authoritative, but eager to be the knight in shining armor. He has the sternness of his mother, but the playfulness of his dad. [Silas, the dark lord, said enable to bring the sibling rivalry to a halt before his enemy was forced to abandon all chivalry, as well as thoughts of saving the princess, and slay her instead.] I really liked this, because even if he's playing a role, he can't help but want to please and keep his children happy. Ian is a really nice dad; I wish my own father were more participatory. The story itself melts effortlessly from fantasy into the real world, and it has a warm quality to it. I loved the blend of descriptions, and that one portion where we're suspended in disbelief, as the bridge is transformed into planks supplied by Ian. LOL That makes me feel like visiting my nephew and playing with him, but he's so violent. D:! I think this and CS's "How William Shakespeare Came to and End" are among my top favorite pieces, next to "Midnight Melanie" by MS and "Quattrocentista" by Nghi. I guess, I don't have the real capacity to write something serious, heart-warming and humorous. Whenever I try for humor, I lost sight, and when I write something serious, it becomes TOO serious. The playful, purposeful quality of this short story is sexcellent. This was a really good read, especially on a sad rainy day in California (?!).
Makayla 2006-10-27 ch 1,	abuseI like the little twist at the end, but I kind of guessed when the "damsel in distress" started back-chatting lol. I love the ending though- very adorable.
dangelicessence 2006-09-23 ch 1,	abuseI'm speechless. Please give me a minute... ho hum... Alright, down to business. That was hilarious. I was a little confused at first, but when I finally got it, I burst into laughter. I must say I didn't expect that. I mean, after the rather dark tales from Meaningful Revenge, comedy was the last thing I expected from you. You have a very interesting sense of humor and probably and interesting personality to boot. Did I meet you somewhere before? In the happy house, perhaps. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
punkturnedwriter 2006-09-21 ch 1,	abuseThat was so sweet! And the ending was really unexpected. At least, I didn't expect it. I love family-oriented short stories like this. The Star Wars comparison was cute. When you mentioned Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, though, I had an inkling that it might be father and son. But even then, 'Queen Hedda' coming in was funny. I love the parts where the 'princess' and 'Young, Silver Knight Josias' fight. And the very last couple of paragraphs. Very nice, I wish my family was like that! Um, I just have one question...'at least for that night, since he rushed out the room for a second only to return and whisper conspiringly'...isn't the word conspiratorially? I'm not quite sure though.
JJSLAM2129 2006-09-10 ch 1,	abuseVery entertaining. It was a tad strange that the father was the 'Dark Lord', but it was good twist, and a humorous one at that. Keep up the good work!
Melablue666 2006-09-10 ch 1,	abuseThat was too funny! At first I thought it was really set in ancient times but the modernistic twist was really great! Poor Silas. That was a horrible threat at the end. lol I can't wait to read more of your stories soon. Great job.
Running to Stand Still 2006-08-29 ch 1,	abuseHah! I loved that... It was funny... I'm still laughing... The dad must be PRETTY happy... Yup, very awesome indeed...
