LOVE this fic.

That's wonderful to hear, thank you! XD

Yeah, she said, well, I am not a feminist. Bad things happen to women around me, and little girls and little boys, unless they’ve got guns. I like the strong and the cunning and the well-armed... but I can make you fall in love with me, little girl....
Applauds! Very enjoyable indeed.

I'm so glad you picked that particular paragraph! XD That bit was the thing burning a hole in the back of my brain to make me write this whole fic, and it was still the very last bit I wrote. I very nearly cut it altogether because working out how to include it was giving me such a headache. (Ridiculous for such a short fic really.) So thank you, I'm glad as ever that you like it! ^^

I picked that paragraph because it felt extra personal and I liked it a lot. Glad to hear I was right! Pleased you left it in.

Oooh fascinating idea, putting them into the minds of the kids instead of merely "the minds of men". Pepper's feminism is an excellent foil for Red's attitude (even though it doesn't really change anything).

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I always loved Pepper citing her mother in the book, it's such a neat little detail. Anthropomorphic personifications, of course, have different concerns. XD

This was perfect! It was...just. Brilliant! Absolutely, utterly right.
There was an awesome blend of pratchett and gaiman, and, oh, just, everything!

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you, I'm very glad you liked it. ^^

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE THING.

You, or perhaps War's boots.

omg.
