Comments

Is it weird that I really like Frédérique? His entry amused me so much because he dared mouth off to Puck . And I can practically hear him speak.

-will probably comment further AFTER I actually finish the story (instead of, you know, rushing off the comment because Frédérique is too amusing )

[damnedangelcry]

After rereading I still think Frédérique is amusing amazing.

Well, this story is amazing. I didn't think a fic could have this much details and not fail but no, you totally pulled it off. The details doesn't crowd the story so I like this very much.

Also, Kurt, is something wrong?

[sevenswells]

Hahaha, I have a confession to make; I kinda like Frédérique too -- I had quite a lot of fun writing him, in fact, so I'm really glad you like him XD

The details doesn't crowd the story so I like this very much.

Oh, thank you! And here I was thinking that I don't put enough details when I write because I tend to lose patience very quickly and my English is too crappy for me to prolong the torture any more than that - I'm glad it comes across as detailed in the end, though, I was really *aiming* for that, at least ^^

Also, Kurt, is something wrong?

It's not Puck he's marrying, of course something would be wrong!! XD

More revelations next chapter I believe, or maybe in the fifth one (this fic will be six chapters, more or less)

[damnedangelcry]

Frédérique is awesome. Loud and dramatic characters are fun.

I think the details are just right :) Mouthwatering and tempting but isn't some kind of huge info!dump.

It's not Puck he's marrying, of course something would be wrong!! XD <- Fact of Life (aka Puck/Kurt fandom).

I loved this chapter.
I'd like to take the time to... "digest" it, mull everything over in my mind, while I go for a swim. I PROMISE I'll give you the amazing review this deserves! I just need some time to sit and ponder all of this epic writing. ♥

[lezi]

Okay. First off, I loved the introduction of Puck's crew. I thought the group was realistically varied, and each person made up an important part of the group dynamic. I especially loved Jeoff, not only because he reminded me a bit of myself, but because you (thankfully) didn't model each and every one of Puck's crew after Gordon Ramsay (but damn is he hot).
I liked the personalities you gave each of them, especially Frédo. (: I also appreciated the Frenchman's heavily-accented dialogue. I don't know--for some reason, seeing "zis" and "ah, fuck, what do you call it? Romarin?" made me pleased beyond all words. ♥

And then came the food.
Fuck me with a ten-foot pole, you're a Puck/Kurt shipper-slash-foodie's wet dream incarnate! (I hope the amuse bouche for chapter two includes a macaron recipe? Pretty please with sugar-glaze on top? :3)

I liked the minute peek into Kurt's life; I had forgotten Kurt went by the stage-name "Evan," but once I remembered, I was cool. Haha. And I really, really liked Puck being squicked out by Kurt's

[sevenswells]

Thank you darling, you know how much I love your comments!

I feel so reassured that you like Puck's crew - I love creating OCs but I'm not always sure if people will like them too. "Frédo" also became one of my favorites as I was writing him, in fact -- what is it with me and bitchy characters, seriously? XD (and yeah, Gordon Ramsay, it's so weird that he's hot. I mean, he has no good looks whatsoever, but he just has that charisma about him, IDEK)

Fuck me with a ten-foot pole, you're a Puck/Kurt shipper-slash-foodie's wet dream incarnate!

Hee hee hee, thank you hun! Believe it or not, I'm always worried that there might not be enough food in each chapter (hahaha, OMG, I just realized I'm like this IRL too when I'm making dinner for friends and end up having prepared enough food to feed an entire country)

(I hope the amuse bouche for chapter two includes a macaron recipe? Pretty please with sugar-glaze on top? :3)Ah, haven't tought about that at all! @.@ Okay, okay then, I'm gonna pull some strings and see what I can do - and it'

[sevenswells]

Okay, good news is, I got the best macaron recipe ever; bad news is, I'm afraid I won't post it in the second amuse-bouche, but in the last one (which will be the sixth if my calculations are correct) for reasons you'll understand much later. Sorry bb, but I promise it's totally worth the wait! ;)

[firefox1490]

OMG, still excited!!! Like OMG EXCITED!!! But I'm to sleepy for caps lock of happy but its still there. I love food fics. The world needs more of them! And I wanna know Kurt's story! And I want to know where his dad is! Cause its Burt! And how does he not know!! And where is Mercedes!!

And btw if you hadn't decided if you were going to add the babygate thing in, I think you should. Just because it adds or rather could add interesting conflict.

[sevenswells]

Hahaha, too many questions! I hope I can answer most of them next chapter - a very dense one again... argh. I'm going to have a tough time writing it T___T

Thank you for your comment dear! ^^

[kurtartie]

please please PLEASE keep writing! :O
but where's Burt? please don't tell me he sucks in this AU. D':

[sevenswells]

but where's Burt? please don't tell me he sucks in this AU. D':

O____O Oh no, why would he ever? It's an AU, but it doesn't mean it will be OOC, to the contrary, I aim for as IC as possible.

And Burt can't possibly suck, in any universe! I mean, come one, let's be serious for a minute, shall we?

[kurtartie]

oh thank god! phew!
you sneaky little bastard you! >:D
you had me going for a while!

You should not apologize for the tons of OCs when they’re so well-developed. As others have already stated, the pastry chef was a highlight.

You captured the hectic pace of a kitchen well, at least based on what I’ve seen on all of those Gordon Ramsey shows.

I loved the paragraph on destruction versus creation, and how Puck learned that the latter was more satisfying. It offered a believable exhibit of what made Puck who he is in this fic.

I feel so invested in Kurt having his successful Broadway career that I feel sad that he’s retiring here. I suppose I’m intimidated by change, and I’m still looking for a dream to fulfill myself so I feel weird when I read about people who achieved their dreams but don’t want to live that life anymore. I'm also getting a sense that Kurt's fiance is playing more of a role in Kurt's decision than he's letting on. The guy seems creepy.

Thank you! I like to create OCs but I'm always a little nervous about whether people might like them or not - I know I do, at least XD and I had loads of fun writing Frédérique -- I like theatrical characters like that, they always put a little spice, I think ^^

Thank you for this remark, in particular! Yeah, that's a huge evolution for him, and I really wanted him to remain coherent with himself at the same time - not to mention it's a firm belief of mine, I'd say "way of life", even, that thing about destruction and creation.

[casatthedisco]

Phew, Aurélien supposed to be creepy. I was worried about saying that if you didn't mean for him to come off that way.

Your not-quite-spoiler is making me look forward to the next chapter!
