Whoa! I've actually never heard of this pairing and I unexpectedly like it.

I have also never put together that connection between them, because I love seeing cute, shy Red, but Pinocchio isn't a character I look at much. I'm glad that you've proved my aloof attitude towards Pinocchio wrong.

Also, giving Red a name was a very nice thought, she's such a sweet girl (post insanity) and I like that you shared this moment with all of us.

Keep writing, you're developing very nicely.

Ah, lovely. Red/Alexandra is so wise. I like how you wrote her dialogue as almost musing; she's sure and yet not in-your-face about it, confident yet not brash. Like how she responds, twice, "it is, isn't it?" A question tag but not a question. She's got her strength now, but it's not a hard, brittle strength. Brava.

And I hear you about Pinocchio being ostracized from the character list. Bradley is also forbidden, it seems. BRADLEY! WHOM I LOVE. Who, despite having only a couple pages to his name, is nonetheless of more import to the series than Tom, and who alone has stirred up more controversy amongst fans than any other character, for Pete's sake. Unbelievable.

So cute!

Wow, yet another good fanfiction from you. I really like this. And 24 fics? That's quite an accomplishment. Good job! You're an epic writer!

I know, right? Total outrage! They have Tom, and the March Hare (I only vaguely remember what he did in the series! Also, who would want to write a story about the March Hare...?) and Harry but, they don't have Ms Smirt! Or Seven, even though they have Beauty! Also, 'Goldilocks' is spelled 'Goldielocks'! This is site is an abomination!

SO UNFAIR!
