Oh man I really enjoyed these! :) Especially the Klaine/Sam one and the Klaine ficlet. Very nice. I would totally have bought a pepperoni and anchovy pizza! Yum yum

Thanks! And you can definitely have my slice of the pepperoni and anchovy pizza--I have to say, I kind of side with Kurt on that one. ;)

All around fantastic. I'm very impressed by how well you can write ALL the characters' voices. I especially like Mercedes. It really made me feel for her in a way I've been struggling with lately.

Thanks so much! I'm taking me a while to get in the groove of some characters' thought and speech patterns (Sue is being particularly slippery in a fic I'm working on now), but the characters' voices are all so distinct and quirky that it makes it a fun challenge to write ensemble-y stuff.

Poor Mercedes. She's been so frustrated in choir room scenes all the time lately, and she's been crying about as much as Kurt usually does. I have a sneaking suspicion this is why, and my heart goes out to her.

I came for the Klaine, but stayed for Zabray. *G*

They were all good, but the third one was stunning.

Thank you! Quinn and Lauren surprised me, too--I like both characters, but I didn't realize until I was writing them just how interesting they can be together.

I think the Quinn-Lauren one was my favorite. Excellent characterizations throughout, but Lauren's voice was dead on! Great work here.

Thank you! Quinn and Lauren surprised me; that wasn't one of the songs where I instantly knew what I wanted to do, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. This was my first time writing Lauren, so I'm glad her voice turned out well.

Thanks again for reading and commenting!

Delurking to say your Lauren voice is so spot on, and the conversation between her and Quinn breaks my heart, but is so very true to both of them. Well done.

[kappamaki33]

Thanks so much! This was my first time writing Lauren, so I'm really, really happy her voice came out right. I love her character, and I wanted to do them justice.

Thanks again for reading and commenting (and especially delurking! ;) )
