Great job! I just read the whole thing.
Your characterization of Brittany had me laughing aloud!
This last bit about the watch was priceless.
I like that this fic has so many characters and sub plots involved.

It seems you and I are the only two posting new chapters nearly daily on our community page and so I decided to stop by and show some support. I ended up being really impressed in your story. I'm gonna keep reading.

You need to teach me how to link to your chapters like that. It made it much easier to go through it.

just started reading this yesterday...

This is such a good idea for a story, and not only has your execution of it been really entertaining and well-written, but it really illustrates what I hope the show will depict on a smaller level: that Santana's revelation in "Sexy" is the point where she has to re-learn how to be Santana without the closet issues. I think what is enjoyable from chapter to chapter is rooting for Santana to get the girl, but ultimately it's satisfying on a deeper level. To quote Rachel Berry, "brava, brava."

Really excited to see what you do with "Silly Love Songs."

P.S.

Also (I'm the same anonymous reviewer that left the comment with the subject "just started this yesterday...")-- I wanted to say how awesome your characterization of Artie is in this story. The thought of Brittany's relationship with Artie makes me want to gauge my eyes out, so sometimes I forget that his character isn't just a categorical villain. I think you write him so well, and the conversation Brittany and he have in this chapter is just perfect. It doesn't make Artie look evil, but it does highlight some of the problems with Brittany's and Artie's relationship. It also doesn't ignore his occasional sexism (on the show and in this story) but makes it seem like that of an average teenage (straight) boy. Just, awesome.

That's exactly what I was shooting for. It's just too easy to turn the other side of a love triangle into the bad guy. When Artie loses Brittany, but it'll be because he's Mr. Wrong, not Mr. Jackass.

I invite you to return often and leave thoughtful reviews, Anon. These are the types of comment that really allow me to gauge the quality of my work. So, thank you.

[creedogv]

Oh, yes, it's my goal that every chapter be longer than the previous. I should start listing word counts.
