I'm sitting here grinning. "If you'd told me ten years ago" that I'd be grinning about a story that takes place in a mall, I'd probably laughed! This was very enjoyable. It is fun to drop these four characters into a thoroughly 'normal' setting and see what happens. You managed to do that, and still keep the characters very much in character. Good use of humor.

LOL! Thanks. Glad you liked it. I wanted to put the team in an absurd a place as possible... and there's no place more absurd for them then a mall, I think. ;0)

LOL okay I found this highly entertaining and amusing...most humor fics bug the heck outta me because often they are poorly written, but this is cohesive, grammar friendly and all that good stuff. LOL and freakin' hilarious. I love them gettin' kicked outta stores and causing all kinds of mayhem. *grins* Too cute!

linziday March 4 2009, 04:16:27 UTC

*grins back at you* Thank you! I'm glad you liked it-- and found it funny. (LOL... My fics have been called many things, but "grammar friendly" has never been one of them. I love that.)

padawan_aneiki March 4 2009, 04:23:40 UTC

LOL Well...I wasn't sure how to phrase it. But your story is very readable, and there's not a whole ton of bad spelling or grammar errors that seem to plague a lot of humor fic out there, IMO. At any rate, well done, m'dear.

linziday March 4 2009, 04:27:12 UTC

No, I think "grammar friendly" sums it up quite nicely. :)

I have to thank my betas for some of that. Although I'm usually careful about spelling, punctuation and grammar, they caught more than a couple of glaring (and careless) errors in this one. So props to them!

That was excellent - funny and cute:D I'm like Padawan_Aneiki - most humor fic I tedn to shy away from because they end up being more irritating than funny, but you handled the humor wonderfully, making me smile the entire time I read (and it is so them to end up in trouble even in the mall. Oh, team :D)

Thank you! I'm delighted you liked it and it made you smile. Humor can be hard to do... individual tastes vary so much. So I'm glad it seemed to work for people.

This was wonderful. I find humor a tough nut to crack..yet you captured the culture clash thing with subtlety. I loved how they almost got kicked out of ever store..yet you managed to weave a connection between the toy store, apple store and the eatery with each member from canon.

Wickedly funny.

linziday March 5 2009, 01:02:24 UTC

Thank you! I just can't imagine them going to those stores and *not* getting into trouble. :0)

this was a gloriously adorable story, mate! :) from the opening salvo of crutch tapping and cast-y door stopping to the closing contentment of McKay (well, wonders never cease! he CAN be happy...), it was the perfect way to end my day. :)

You displayed both lovely and true-to-form characterizations and team dynamics. and i like how the "story arc" was with McKay and his going from being a grump to being content, if only cuz of who he was with rather than where he was.

so - anyway - kudos to you on writing this clever, different, fun, and very rewarding and superb team fic! :) *applauds happily* and yeah the whole rodney-runs-after-ronon-during-the-whole-money-for-food thing? UTTERLY PRICELESS! ;)

*blushes* Thank you! These reviews are the perfect way to end MY day. :)

I'm glad you liked the story arc with Rodney. I seem completely incapable of writing a fic without some sort of story arc. Sometimes I just want to whump them, heal them, and send them on their way, but noooo, I have to go and have PLOT. ;0)

Thank you for the wonderful review!
