Verin 2008-06-18 ch 1,	abuseamazing penmanship...i respect you as a writer even more now.
Written Incognito 2007-12-16 ch 1,	abuseThis is probably your best story. simply brill!
LianFex 2007-12-05 ch 1,	abuseAgain, you never cease to amaze me. I like the way you made shallow fairy tales seemed 'real' like. I love the way you deepened their characters. The witch's side is truly...truly...twisted? But in a good way. At least I could understand why she did those things. Also, Hansel and Gretel didn't seem that good here. Love your works and I could only pray that I have the same talent as yours because maybe almost all your readers who wanted to become writers would wished to be you.
RandiRose 2007-11-20 ch 1,	abuseThe second to last paragraph, the second sentences, it says: 'I should see bodies buried in ice, only their heads revealed above the tundra, (*) heir (their) mouths hanging open as they ask the question that surges up from my soul. O.o Uh...a bit gruesome and eccentric, but interesting. This is the first time I've ever read a type of story like this so, I'm staring at the words, forcing myself to comprehend the material I've read.
MizSphinx 2007-11-07 ch 1,	abusewow such a powerful piece...I NEVER thought of the witch's experience and you've sure opened my eyes! This is something similar to what I read about the wolf with Little Red Riding Hood but not as dark. This is quite believable, you know, and seeing that the Grimm Brothers never wrote the witch's side, I'll definitely have to go with this one :). Wonderfully written, very plausible, very powerful. Must be added to favs. --MizSphinx
Hermia Alcott 2007-10-27 ch 1,	abuseThis is, without a doubt, the most disturbing thing I have ever read. Ever. I don't even WANT to know where you got the idea for it from. Being - purified - by - eating - children!?! That is so sick. Don't get me wrong, it's well written and a clever idea and all, but... eugh. It's twisted. If you were vegetarian, you could get your meat-eating friends to read this; I bet it would completely convert them. I think I might do that actually. My useless whining of "but it was alive!" hasn't made any of my friends think twice about their diets so far. I mean, I know it's their decision and all, but I like to mess with people's heads. Thank you, you've just handed me a brilliant weapon. xDD
belle.nisce 2007-10-14 ch 1,	abuseThis is amazing. Haunting and gruesome and horrifying and beautiful and amazing. I feel so much for the protagonist. Her life tale is gripping, probing the mind with the question of how clear-cut the fine line between good and bad really is, and how ignorant people can be when dealing with a so-called 'villain'. I've attempted to write how I feel about this for about five minutes now and have failed miserably - so I leave you with appreciation, and a final note of just how powerful your last couple of paragraphs were, about bodies buried in ice. Ooh. I'm shivering. Once again: amazing.
OMG 2007-08-03 ch 1, anon.	abuseOMG... I can't believe it. This was horrifying, and yet, I still love it. I shall never, ever look at any version of Hansel and Gretel again. 8\|
CAT 2007-06-26 ch 1, anon.	abusei usually don't pay attention to the extremely lengthy one-shots, but yours was addicting! Nice
Victoria Barlow 2007-06-04 ch 1,	abuseWow I've never read this story through her eyes. It's interesting. Very well writen. Good job!
Queen of the Insects 2007-02-18 ch 1,	abuseThis reminds me a bit of Neil Gaiman's 'Snow, Glass, Apples'. I like your integration of the Russian Baba Yaga into the German fairytale.
Lady Katreina 2007-02-07 ch 1,	abuseWow. I, well, I love it. This is awsome! Beautiful even. Wow. Thank you. For making it. Heh, the townsfolk actully brought the death of those children upon themselves 'witch' indeed. I love this story, incredibly gruesome, but very good.
laurenislameee 2007-01-13 ch 1,	abuseoh wow. eep!! hii. i loved this... it was so cool, and... meh i dunno, just awesome. the viewpoint of the witch and her life was so unique and interesting, i absolutely loved it. you're such a talented writer author person. :]
Music by Moonlight 2006-11-21 ch 1,	abuseDid you publish this in 2001? I never noticed it...
Bllatrx 2006-11-17 ch 1,	abuseThis was amazing and haunting. I never really thought about what the "witch" might have felt. I think the whole cannabalism thing could be a parallel to drug use, how at first the person may be disgusted by it, but then they get sucked in somehow, and everything is just a blur of bad choices, and you need the very thing you despise to survive. Im not a drug user, lol, I just could see the simmilarities to her situation. It made me feel bad for her in the beginning, but by the end of the story, I felt that she did deserve what she got because she gave in, and became a monster just like the baker.
