Random Flyer chapter 10 . 3/5/2019 This is very well, written crossover. You've got the voice of the narrator down perfectly. |
Tala White 14 chapter 5 . 1/14/2017 I adore your style! It's beautiful. And the characters are on point. Great job! |
SodiumLamp0nAHill chapter 20 . 12/1/2016 *Reader finishes story, hits review button, and then stares blankly at the screen for several minutes, before opening mouth as if to say something, then closes it. The guppy impersonation gets repeated several times before the reader finally blurts out, "WHAT ON EARTH JUST HAPPENED?!" Reader then rubs eyes, and continues to stare at screen in an interesting mixture of dazed wonder/astonishment/disbelief.* I've never seen or even heard of Pushing Daisies before, but it's remarkable what you can learn with a five-minute Wikipedia and YouTube trailer search. :) I can honestly say that that was the MOST twisted, crazy, convoluted, forth-wall breaking story that still had a plot and made sense (at least theoretically) that I have EVER read! And I've read hundreds, if not thousands of stories on this site, so that assessment is not made lightly! The story was very well written and from what I can tell, ALL the characters were spot on. And you did a great job of handling some quite serious matters deftly and with humor. Nicely done with the story title, chapter titles, and pen name! With regards to Henry's murderer, Adam's ultimate fate, the ending, and the whole story in general, I can also honestly say: "I did NOT see that coming!" Well done, keep up the excellent work, and thank you for sharing your God-given talent for writing! It takes a very gifted person to be able to write a story like this without completely ruining it, and you've done so with flying colors! P.S. You might want to mark this story as complete, (unless I missed something). |
PrePsychPineappleLover chapter 20 . 10/14/2016 This was THE best crossover I've ever read! All characters are soo amazingly well written that it seems that you're actually a writer for Pushing Daisies or Forever. I could picture everything so perfectly in my head! Thank you for this, I would never have thought that a Pushing Daisies/Forever crossover can work! Just sooo great! :) |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 20 . 1/21/2016 Ohmygosh, YES. YES. *YESSSSS* Dude, I know you told me about your stress and emotion ending this story, but you need not stress because that was exactly the conclusion this needed. So N wasn't exactly evil, and everything worked out, and all the meta references were fantastic, and every piece of Emerson, and basically just YES YES YES. GREAT STORY IS GREAT AND GREAT CONCLUSION IS GREAT AND YOU ARE GREAT. YESSSSSSSSS. |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 19 . 1/21/2016 Ohmyword, this chapter is gold. The opening made my heart stop for a long second there, and then the bit about Ned's height was fantastic. Lucas' awkwardness, the noise of the cream squirting, all the pie talk, Chuck and Henry's conversation, the morse code/eyebrow exchange to tell Lucas, Lucas' reaction, the last narrator section - . |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 18 . 1/21/2016 I know I can see there only a few chapters left, so I KNOW an ending's coming, but I can *feel* the ending coming without looking, if that makes any sense at all. I just can't figure out how it will wrap up and be okay! (Also LOL to Lt Reece in this. At least she scares N a little. ;D) |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 17 . 1/21/2016 Ohmygosh, N's monologueing, LOL. "open ended finales", pub quizzes, mental blocks for humanity's continued existence. :D So do they just live and let live? HOW DOES THIS END... ! :D |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 16 . 1/21/2016 (forgot to mention the "that's what people do" in the last chapter made me think of Moriarty in Sherlock. And A Firefly reference at the beginning of this chapter. ;D) Emerson's inner monologue about the level of insanity gold. OKAY BUT HOW DO THEY WIN, HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY COME OUT OF THIS |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 15 . 1/21/2016 WELL THEN. I will try not to be too specific here so as not to leave spoilers in the reviews, but WELL THEN. During Blake's... description of the Nth Variable (the "milliseconds" bit), I had the "OH WAIT" moment, and figured it out right then before the end of that sentence. I definitely did not see that coming! (And "Nth": was that very on purpose or very coincidental? ;P) WELL WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE ! |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 14 . 1/21/2016 Well, well done. I have no freaking clue who the murderer is, who the nth variable is. I am very curious why you suddenly threw Charles Charles into the blender and can't decide if it's relevant or just screwing with us. XD |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 12 . 1/21/2016 NED, OLD NED, AND EVEN OLDER NED. LOLOL. Also the line about Emerosn being 1000% done which was better than Olive's 9000% estimate. XD |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 11 . 1/21/2016 *rubs hands together* Finally getting back to reading this delightful fic. :D I love Ned ranking the level of awkward situations of the day. And I know I comment every time, but the meta narrator makes me giggle and grin every single time. This fic is so fun and such a gem. AND NOW THEY'VE FOUND ABIGAIL?! |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 10 . 11/18/2015 I love the ending on this - I love how it's worded and it really is quite a conundrum isn't it? (There was quite a few missing punctuation marks in this chapter, I can't help but nitpickily point out, but I of course love the content nonetheless. ;D) |
Red Bess Rackham chapter 9 . 11/18/2015 The murderer is clearly a murderer then, intent on murdering Henry. And it's not Adam... interesting, interesting. (It's not randomly Olive or something right? Or one of the aunts? Hmm, I'm trying to think of "lesser" PD characters - like Alfredo and the windmill guy, what's-his-name...) I loved Henry and Ned's matter of fact conversation about the ridiculousness of their lives. It's hilarious when you casually lay it out like that. :D |
