Oh poor Mary Anne! Great story!

[lucida]

Thank you!

Ahahaha, this is *awesome*! :D I kinda feel like if I knew the more about the Friday the 13th lore, I'd like this story even more because it feels like you're pulling in elements of the movie into Mary Anne's horrid nightmare.

Loved the scenario, though! And a hat tip for mentioning Robert ;) I think having the characters die off-camera makes it even more horrible - all we know is that they were in agony when they were killed *shudder*

The end is great, too ~ Dawn and Mary Anne are so perfectly in character, even aged beyond the canon =) I can totally empathize with Mary Anne, especially - sometimes boring and sappy is very, very safe, LOL.

Wonderful work! :D

Thank you for all of those amazing comments. :D Some things were based off Friday the 13th, yes, but I tried to make it so that it wouldn't be difficult to read if you haven't seen the movie(s)--hopefully I pulled that off!

I've always been surprised at the lack of Robert fic. I like Stacey with Sam the best, but I didn't mind him either. And yay that you found MA/Dawn to be in-character - that's always one of my main goals, even when (especially when) I'm writing "crazy" things like this. :P

I'm glad you liked it!

[lucida]

Thanks, I'm still glad/relived that you like this! ♥ (Is it awful that the Claudia and Stacey scenes were my favorite to write? :P )

Can I just add my love for the horror tropes? As soon as Stacey said she was going to the boys side of camp I was giggling. Then when she implied that she slept with Robert, I was like She is so dead. :)

Thanks!! It's a Friday the 13th fic---of course I had to include horror tropes. :P

I finally got a chance to read this, and I love it! You get bonus points for the mention of Robert, and also this--

“Jeff has been watching these movies since he was eight,” Dawn snorts. “He was livid.”

Imagining Jeff and Richard's interaction made me giggle.

Great job! :)

[lucida]

Thank you! ♥ lol, it figures that the part about Jeff was your favorite. :P

What can I say? *shamelessly waves 'Jeff Schafer fangirl' pennant.*
