Reviews For: The Fairytale That Never Was

Song of Shadows; 31:3 2008-04-23 ch 1,	abuseI must admit I'm looking forward to seeing what, exactly, it is that a fairy godmother can do that would get her sued. I have a feeling that it has something to do with Bob's "curse".
ShippoCY88 2007-10-06 ch 1,	abuseThis is great! Love the sense of humour! I actually laughed out loud at some of the parts!
elisefey 2007-09-04 ch 1,	abuseHoly crap, I'm loving this story! It's absolutley hilarious. From the first paragraph straight on through I was totally caught up in the humour and ironic tone of the narrative voice. I love how you're turning the typical fairytale right on its head! I can't wait for the next update!
Lccorp2 2007-07-16 ch 1,	abuseHarr. Amusing in the most, but... Number one: Undoubtedly, Charma's been in the business for some time. She ought to know about traps, illusions and the like, and even considers that the scene before her eyes might not be what it appears to be. Why did she change her mind so quickly without any new evidence incoming? She seems to have forgotten the possibility that this might just have been a trap to lure people in by their sheer curiosity just like that. If it didn't surface to her mind, fine, but after you've had her think that, it doesn't add up. I can understand that this is a parody and by that extent some things aren't supposed to add up, so I'll give the other things a pass.
Tiggermyk 2007-07-14 ch 1,	abuseOkay, that had me snickering the whole time... Quick question about Charma though--is it pronounced "Charm-ah" or "Karma"? It's really a rather minor point, but pronunciation is a bit of a sore point with me, probably because I have trouble pronouncing certain words. I love the fact that you named him Bob, he had an instant infatuation with the bubbles, and the apple had a bite already taken out of it. Yet, a used apple would have started to spoil, yes? Unless of course, the magic is keeping it in peak condition. Gah, there was another point I was going to make...bloody memory... I spotted only one minor grammatical error: you have a period missing after "The man offered a hesitant smile." And this may not be the "correct" way, but I was taught that any number less than a hundred was written out, so "hero status 15" would be "hero status fifteen." (Again, though, that was just how I was taught--I don't know if it's standard teaching or not. And if you deliberately wrote it numerically, just ignore that comment.) I read your poems--I don't think I got to all of them, but I did read most of them--and I enjoyed all of them. I would have left reviews for each but they would have become very redundant rather fast, seeing as I couldn't have offered any critiques. (I just don't have the poet gene. *~_~) But again, for what it's worth, I enjoyed them.
arirang 2007-07-14 ch 1,	abuseHaha...wow, I couldn't stop smiling the entire read. This is unlike anything I've read here on FP so far, and I've read a lot. I like! It's fresh, original, and very, very funny. The characters are far from perfect and it only makes things more interesting. I can't wait for your next update!
