Very nice insight into Mickey.

[gallifreygal]

Thank you!

Ooh! This one was my prompt! Yay! And a very cool take on the prompt this is. It's just a great Mickey, and I love the little world-building details that you manage to put into such a short space. Extra points, by the way, for using second person and actually pulling it off. I think that's a tricky thing to make work.

[gallifreygal]

I was a little concerned about how I interpreted the prompt, but the idea seemed to work so I ran with it. This is actually my very first second person fic, since that seemed the best way to tell Mickey's side.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I really enjoyed this. You showed Mickey as so much more than the "tin dog."

[gallifreygal]

Oh, he's so much more than the tin dog! I love Mickey because he evolves, probably more than any other character in the series.

Thank you!

[used_songs]

I hadn't thought about that, but he really does. And he's just so likable and sympathetic throughout!

Oh, this was neat - I like the differences between the two worlds, and how hard it is for him.

Oh, Mickey! *cheers with tears in my eyes* I adored his arc, and I adore this elucidation of it.
