ohmywow.
This is such a clever fic! This is something Ren and Kyoko would so do.
It was so unpredictable (maybe my mind is brainwashed by cliches though); I thought the first couple was them [though Ren would never be that rude, so I had some doubts], but then more and more couples kept on coming. I really felt Meiko's excitement when she figured it out.
Great job <3

Very glad you liked this!

I did wonder about the predictability factor... but I tried to give them different physical characteristics (the first guy, for example, had blue eyes) as part of their roles.

wow I loved!! that was a wonderful combination of my personal pet peeves, as I just adore a good 3rd person OC telling the story, but there are not a lot of those stories out there especially good ones, so I'm just floored by this

I'm a big fan of Skip Beat and its one of the few shoujo mangas I can actually read without feeling like im breathing in pure pink, because Kyouko is just one of my favourite heroines and something different. Still this is the first fanfic I've seen in that fanfic and now I guess you woke the hunger^~^, do you know any good ones in that fandom.

I totally imagine them like that in the future (Ren/kyouko foreever~~),my favourite couple was btw the vamp/shy one, as she turned out not to be moneygrabbing at all, ne..

Thank you! I always worry about using an OC, but this story kind of needed that perspective to build the right suspense.

Skip Beat is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. There's a skip_beat community that has most of the fanfic on it - it's still small, so there's not a ton to read.

Kyouko is WIN. And I really like Ren/Kyouko, although I think Kyouko needs to reconcile with Shou before that can go ahead.

I tried to turn a couple of the scenarios on their head, especially vamp!Kyouko.
