So, for some reason I didn't get a notif for the last...2, 3? chapters, but did get one for this. So after reading them all, I just have to say... OMG, all of the little offhanded comments about sci-fi/supernatural shows is awesome! Completely aside from the great story, I kept laughing at the different lines, like Blaine's motto (Supernatural!), checking for a mutated swim team. And the FMA movie! I about died when I read that part!

Blaine seriously needs to be a huge geek in canon. This is fantastic.

I love all of the differences in the characters. It's really intriguing to see the characters you love acting...completely opposite.

Oh, & the "Sue is her own evil twin" line cracked me up! (I have a notebook that says that on the cover, actually. ♥)

Welcome back! I'm so glad you're enjoying all the geeky references, because sometimes I worry nobody will get them heh. Especially the FMA one, though the movie is one I think about a lot while I'm writing this. I would love if Blaine was just as geeky, because I would just die if he started referencing this sort of stuff left and right.

All the not-characters are my bbs, I love them to pieces. What would Kurt be without a fear of sex, Finn without his good-heartedness, Brittany with smarts ... they write themselves sometimes, I swear.

Really?! That is so completely and utterly perfect! <3

Thank you so much for these wonderful words darling! ♥

I honestly (& I'm a little ashamed for admitting this, lol) hadn't even thought about the parallel between this & the FMA movie. I say I'm ashamed because I was obsessed with FMA for years, including recently just before discovering Glee this past year. (Another, completely irrelevant parallel; both Blaine & Ed are both short, and get upset when you make fun of them for it <3)

Not only does Brittany have smarts, which in itself would be kind of awesome (like when she joined the Brainiacs), but she's not the loveable, sweet Brittany we know; like Blaine pointed out in the story, Britt's loveable even if she's dumb, & not-Britt is scheming, conniving, and hateful; all the things Brittany's...not.

And of course you know all that already, but the idea of the not-characters really is fascinating. (I love parallel world stories that toy with this kind of idea.)

Ohmygoodness you are so right. Angry little shorties! And there's the traumatic incident that sent them on their way (human transmutation/Sadie Hawkins beat down) and they both have daddy issues! Now I need to write a crossover where they meet, seriously

[eirian84]

and they both have daddy issues

^This cracked me up, for some reason, even though it's true! OMG, an FMA/Glee! crossover... @____@ That would be some kind of epic, wouldn't it? (And of course my mind went straight to Roy singing about girls in miniskirts u_u)

I'm wondering now what not-Rachel is like, and not-Will. Other than mentioning they're boning each other, I don't recall them really being mentioned in the story. All I can think of is not-Rachel being a selfless humanitarian, since whenever I think of Rachel the first things I think of are how ambitious she is and how she's willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, a lot of the time at the cost of people's feelings...or worse. Like sending them to a crackhouse.And possibly not-Will not really caring what his kids do, so long as they keep winning trophies

If you just put the characters into Gleeverse, Roy would be the Finn of the club, you can just tell. He would think he's the star and everything, and Ed would be the breakout kid a la Kurt who everyone actually adores

I'll reply to the rest of this later (I have to get ready for work now) but I had to say: yes, you are going to have to write side stories. Because your analysis and twisting of the characters is incredible, and seeing more of this world would be awesome.
