I really enjoyed reading this! I think bodyswap is really easy to mess up, but this was just the right amount of both silly things and actual thought behind who the characters are to work out really, really well.

[mywholecry]

also, my insanely large usage of the word 'really' shows much I really liked this :)

Thank you! Not gonna lie, when this idea first came to my mind, I thought it was all going to be fun and games, but then when I started writing, it got really confusing at some points D: I'm glad you liked it.

[unequivocally]

Aw, yay, it's up!

Congrats on completing it!

Remember what I told you about closing your legs? PLEASE DO IT.

This still remains my favorite line, I love, love, love Rachel/Finn friendship, especially when they're being so silly and goofy as such. Fantastic job, dear and I'm so sorry I was such a crap beta! Haha<333

[biruuu]

Rachel/Finn as friends is the only way I like them, although I'm sure I'll end up shipping them at some point, like I ship almost everything else in this show (I'm so weak, omg).

No way, you were an awesome beta. I still can't believe how lucky I got :D Once again, thank you so much ♥

I was suprised by how sweet that was. Very Freaky Friday. The couples were really cute together. I'd be interested in reading more of this.

[biruuu]

Thank you! I was so tempted to name this fic Freaky Finn-day. I wish I was kidding...

[jacketweather]

Hoo boy. That is nerdy. Thankfully you've won me over enough with your fic that I won't have to shun you forever for that awful pun, haha.

Oooh, this was completely fabulous. I think that this is the most awesome and convincing instance of bodyswap I've ever read. It was funny and hot and a little bittersweet, too - basically everything wonderful in a tidy and well-written package. LOVE.

[biruuu]

Wow, thanks!

I was a little worried about the pronouns and the how-to-refer-to-body-parts issue (like, should I say "Finn's eyes" when they're really Rachel's? and stuff like that). I didn't know whether it was going to be too confusing or not, so I'm really glad that it worked for you.

It was funny and hot and a little bittersweet, too

Funny and bittersweet was what I tried to aim for, so again, I'm happy that you saw it that way too.

Seriously, this is such a nice comment, I want to frame it and show it to my mom or something, lol

Thank you so much :'D

wow i really liked this! your writing is great and you have their voices (especially rachel) down perfect! some of my favorite parts were:

The second time Rachel got caught trying to get into the ladies’ room by mistake, they sent her to an emergency meeting with Ms. Pillsbury, who handed her a brochure with the words “To Penis Or Not To Penis: A Guide For Sexually Confused Teenagers” written on the front. She happened to find it extremely informative.

perfect. i love when emma's crazy brochures are included.

“Today is a very special day, and I have something to say to all of you, my felonious glee clubbers...”

i seriously busted up laughing here

When he started to feel the urge to run his hands through Puck’s mohawk, he decided that it wasn’t like he wanted to touch the guy’s dick, so no gay there. He lifted one hand from where it was resting on Puck’s hip and touched it.

so great job, thank you for sharing! :D

Emma's brochures are hilarious, I wish we got to see more of them.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I'm really glad that you liked it :)
