I’m sounding like a broken record, I guess, but kudos again. The story nicely mixes elements of adventure, weirdness, and warmth — and as always the writing and characterization are polished and evocative. Bolt’s having to choose between rescuing the map and Mittens makes for a fine climax point. Fine stuff!

for those that dont know where bandit & the ginger cat come from google a Graphic novel called WE3

Once again you have writ out a fine, fine story! I really do love the way you write all three of these characters(you capture Bolt's doggishness very well), but you seem to have a special talent when it comes to Mittens. Seeing this adventure through her eyes, and getting to listen to her internal commentary on everything from sunny fields to annoying hamsters to earnestly heroic (if idiotic) dogs, was sheer pleasure.

This story has a little bit of everything. Introspection, adventure, humor and (at the end) a foreshadowing of sadness. It even has some interesting new characters in the hobo and his train hopping pets! I too am wondering if they are yours or are they borrowed?

Anyway, I could go on in on, but I have to fix supper, so I'll just say that I've much enjoyed your stories, and this one adds to the list! I hope you'll grace us with another one soon!

Normally with these critiques, I find shortcomings and errors within the story that I hope the author will improve on. It feels responsible to guide a writer in the right direction towards becoming a better craftsman.

To appose my regular style, I can only offer praise for this emotional and descriptive vingette. You did a wonderful job on elaborating the scene from the movie's montage moment, with both the tone and feeling of the film itself.

Every one was perfectly in character, and reacted convincingly to the events going on around them. Hearing an inside view of Mitten's "little voice" was a lot of fun as it contrasted her actual actions. It's things like that that can only be told through writing, making it a lot more enjoyable to read. She seemed to have some good development in this small adventure.

Admitidly, I found the pace to be too slow at the beginning. But as I kept going, it actually helped me mellow out and take in all the actiona nd emotions infused in the story. And by the end, there really was a sense of accomplishment over obstacles, because of the pace at which you wrote this story. It's always interesting to have one's own preferences manipulated.

In short, I hang my head in shame at not being able to tell you how to improve your writing style. In a site of poor grammar, inconsistances, and just overall stupid ideas, this one was a gem to read. For as much as I like to critique bad writers, I enjoy reading great writers even more.

"Of course you'll be alright," said a small voice. Mittens looked up to see a black creature hanging fromthe roof of of the station.

"To tell truth, that was one of the best stories I read about you three," the strange animal continued. "Those are, in fact, just the things that would happen. There aren't even any spelling mistakes.'

"What?" said the cat, startled. "What on earth do you mean? What are you?"

"I'm a phooka," said the phooka, and disappeared.

Good work as usual!

Action *and* humour - a rare combo! Nicely done.

I feel like I'm missing something - are the man in the boxcar and his pets a reference I don't get?

Wow. This is a great story. It's so well written.

As much as I adored your previous works, this creation of yours leaves them in shadow. Not because of language level of course, it's steadily unequaled, but because of the chosen topic and it's presentation.

From the first story on, there's more and more action and humor, two things I value most (beside coherency and language skills, but I think I can skip those in a review of your work ;) ). They're just getting continuously better and better. Also, the mastery of putting that much action into a blank page left in the movie is just stunning.

The characters are most coherent, as usually. Putting a scene based on your story into the movie would be just natural, I don't think anyone would spot a difference in anyone's behavior. Rhino's attitude's render is most noticeable, being done simply stunning.

Having remembered something, I have to bring forth the technical topic of your writing anyway. It's creepy, as in both this and previous story of yours I've found exactly one mistake, being a typo... In the exact same place. It seems you have some subconscious tradition, eh? ;) Or maybe it's an anchor for me to have something to write about in reviews...

The amount of heroism, comedy, friendship and such is great, but it's nothing compared to how much... should I call it 'Boltness' you've managed to put into this story. It didn't feel like a fan-made story, but like watching the movie itself, a cut scene or something like that...

Not to leave the tiniest detail unappreciated, I love the simple idea of doubling the ellipsis' power by inserting spaces in between dots - ". . ." is far more cogent than simple "..." ;)

Well... everything I could advise to you you've accomplished, there's action, there's humor, climax and motto... You left me without arguments ;) I can just hope you'll keep on writing your incredible stories for us, brightening the mirk of everyday existence every now and then ;) Can't wait to read more from you!

As usually, cheers! ;)

How should i put it in words? well your writing to me was pretty much flawless! i can notice any mistakes and your use of writing techniques 'mainly description, bit of humor' made this story even more worth reading! i like the idea of events based on after (and sometimes before) the 'Bolt' movie, but i have to say i may just favor the stories based on event within the movie!

Its because only a few good writers like yourself writing in that attracted me to come and read the works of many. Hoped i havent wasted too much of your time.

(As always...Keep up the good work!_)
