I am as familiar with The Nutcracker as any other teenager, so of course I was interested in this. Grammatical errors aside, this was a decent chapter, not perfect, but not horrible. The flow was off a bit, I thought, which wasn't very appealing, but the subject made up for it. Other than that, and the fact that the ideas skipped around, it was nice. One last word of advice, though: Grammatical errors are unattractive, especially when other writers are your readers.

already the summery draws me in...
okay only on the 2 chapter and I found something- if your going to cuss or use some unapproperit (or however that is spelled...) language then this is not something I would want my younger sister to read: therefore change the rating to T
wowwowwow--this is really good... so please change the rating or the words so this can be perfect
thanks :)

Awe, such a sweet ending!! Very well done, and I'm so gonna have to hunt up the original nutcracker story so I can compare now ^_

Awe, so sweet!! And yay for Eric being alive!! And yay for Clara getting to see him, and her mum too!! Awesome stuff, and I can't wait to see how it all ends! ^_^

Hehe, I know who the Nutcracker is :P lol, but this chapter was very sweet. I like the slight awkwardness between Clara and the Nutcracker. It's very cute ^_^ lol, and I love her "you've got to be kidding me" attitude!! Very funny! Can't wait for more!!

Ahh, so there are fantasy elements in here ^_^ lol, her shrinking and the mice and the nutcracker kinda took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting it, but I like! I can't wait to see what happens next!!

Sorry I took so long to review this, but I'm here, and I love it so far! You know, I've never actually read the story of the nutcracker, so this is all new to me :P Awesome stuff so far, and I can't wait for the next chapter! ^_^

i have no clue where you are going to tkae this, and i'm loving that! its very well written i found myself crying along side Clara. i'll be waiting impatiently for the next update.

well if the introduction is any indication of how the rest of the story is going to be told, i'm sure that i'll enjoy it. i always like to see a modern version of the old chritmas stories.
