Great story !

[rahirah]

Thanks. :)

Well, I love this! There aren't nearly enough gnobolds in the world, nor witty fairy tales.

[rahirah]

Thanks! I really didn't think this one would have much of an audience, but I am pleasantly surprised.

This makes me extremely happy! I love the little hints of C.S. Lewis and George MacDonald, as well as the pure Buffiness of it.

Thank you!

Thanks! :)

What's off the wall about that?

I loved it-- and I am NOT a fan of plot that has been separated from its proper and fitting Porn.

Nor am I in any way a fan of incest, so go you, go Connie, and go Bill!

Thanks! I am a great fan of plot, with or without porn, so I try to stand up for the poor neglected thing in fanfic-land. :D

This story is unquestionably awesome.

I love the simultaneous formality and humor of the narrative voice (and the way it occasionally slides into more informal phrasing without losing that basic formality), and all the clever fairy-tale touches like the animal helper, the thorn hedge, the importance of keeping promises, the riddle game, the fattening up of a child for nefarious purposes (and the plot's reversal so the evil captor is killed/cooked instead) -- oh, it's just lovely fun all through. Also, unlike many fairy-tales, this one includes parents who are neither dead nor evil, which is another nice touch. :-)

Thanks! I was trying to evoke fairtale tropes without out and out copying any particular tale, so I'm glad it worked. :)
