You know what, I'm such a freak. I haven't even read it yet, I love it.

So I'm gonna go ahead and read it now so I can prove it to myself.

[kitnkabootle]

Yay! You must let us know if your suspisions were correct :)

[whitelder]

OMG that was wonderful!!

[kitnkabootle]

Thank you!

That was such a good story. I stayed up way too late to read it. Absolutely amazing. I kept telling myself that I would stop reading after this paragraph or that paragraph and go to bed when I found myself at the end of the story and it was 1:00 AM. It was well worth it and I can deal with being tired in the morning after reading such an original and interesting story. Thank you for posting it.

Oh honey this is so good to hear! I love when a story grips me and forces me to keep reading. Those in my opinion are the very best kind - so it thrills me that you felt this way about our work. We loved writing it and I am so glad that people are responding positively.

[ubiquitousmixie]

i second what kit said entirely - i'm SO glad that we had the ability to capture attention so thoroughly that you didn't want to stop reading. thank you so much for reading and for commenting!

So yep, my prediction proved correct. I loved it. You know the whole time I read it, I was reminded of the short-lived series (on HBO I think) Carnivale. It had that kind of feel to it. I loved that series.

It definitely had some hair-raising moments and I'm glad Hattie and Gershin(sp) got what they deserved. This one certainly took quite a bit of imagination for you two, to put our ladies in this world and yet it worked. It worked tremendously.

I bow to your greatness.

[kitnkabootle]

You know, long ago I saw Carnivale and loved it. But I haven't seen anymore then the first two or three episodes. I need to rewatch them.

I think I might have to soon. We did watch an episode of X-files (Danielle and I) over seetoo called "Humbug" after we were 2/3rds through and it was funny how much our research of the lingo payed off!

Thank you for reading! I know I bow to your greatness very much myself. *Hint hint, poke poke* Whatabout that thing we talked about?

[melanacious]

Ha ha. That other thing ... no worries. I'm still doing research on it and I'm just wanting to get My Immortal done so I can throw myself into it without feeling too guilty about letting other stuff remain in limbo.

But It Is Coming

[ubiquitousmixie]

:D so very glad that you liked it! i've only seen bits and pieces of Carnivale myself, but i've always been fascinated by sideshows.

i'm glad you thought her parents deserved what was they got. when we decided that there needed to be more violence, it was clear what had to be done ;)

thank you so much for reading and commenting!

[kitnkabootle]
