Re: THANK YOU!!!

I am so glad you liked it!

If I hadn't frozen up so much, there would have been music - I can't promise a stage production, though... :D

I love you so much, my sweetest darling husband. Merry Christmas!

Defaulted? For shame! Tsk tsk... ;)

But hey, it was still very good, and all that matters is that he loves it very much.

Well done!

[htbthomas]

Yes, bad bad me. :( But I tried to make up for it!

I'm happy you read this -- I didn't know who on my f-list would be familiar enough with G&S to enjoy it.

I hope you have a marvelous Christmas!

Wow! Oh my gosh, this is brilliant! My dad loves Gilbert and Sullivan, I remember listening to it in the car on road trips and when I was growing up we went to several of the productions together, just the two of us. Most memorable (for me) were Penzance and HMS Pinafore. This brought back so many wonderful memories for me. This is so wonderfully creative. What an amazing accomplishment! I loved it.

Yay, thanks! I really am happy to find fellow G&S fans on my f-list (or at least the children of them! lol)

I had fun trying to keep this story in character - but the most hair-pulling part was writing the lyrics. But now I have the melodies running around in my brain. :)

Thanks for reading and reviewing! *hugs*

Bravo!! So Gilbert and Sullivan. I loved the lyrics and the surprise ending. I wondered who she would choose. I thought maybe a new love interest would come on the scene. Great twist, having the suitors turning their attention on Jane.

Thanks, Mom! (Yes, really my mom.)

It was way too much fun to dream up the plot, and you know how many hours I sat there working on it! But foxtwin deserved my best effort. ♥

*hehe* That was wonderful! I absolutely loved it! You know I love musicals, always have. ‘Pirates’ has always been one of my favorites. Now, aren’t you a tease with Victoria’s notes to everybody, and Jonathan and Robert’s challenge glances! *LOL* Great lyrics, too. Really added to the story. A really neat idea. Excellent!

Thanks, Barb!:D

[htbthomas]

Yay! You read and enjoyed! *huge hugs* The lyrics were the hard part of this one, so your comment really makes me smile! :D
