Samu 2008-01-31 ch 1,	abuseI really liked this a lot, but I always like worrying and fretting over Vimes. Very well done and written, and I love the carpet patterns and how it fit in to the ending as well.
snackfiend101 2005-04-19 ch 1, anon.	abuseOh...interesting little story. I like it. Always wondered about that quote. Beautiful...
Kerry 2004-12-03 ch 1, anon.	abuseI loved this. Well thought out, love the use of footnotes. To be perfectly honest, I really enjoy all of your stuff. This was just especially excellent - my first review ever, and I've been reading fan fiction since '98. Bravo.
Abigail-Nicole 2004-07-06 ch 1,	abuseOoh. I love the repeating theme of patterns, the incoherency, the coherency, the overall prettiness of it that sort of weaves through.
JudyNFran 2004-06-25 ch 1,	abuseVery nice, well written fic. I do like it when people take throw away lines and build them into stories. You got everyone in character, you got the Pratchett patter down pretty well. Cheers!
Eirual of the Nightrunners 2003-10-19 ch 1, anon.	abuseI can't believe I didn't review this the first time I read it. I'm very glad that re-reading Night Watch reminded me of this story. You said something about continuing this if people asked. I'm asking. Eirual
Gaia Myles 2003-05-28 ch 1,	abuseThat...was sad...but in a happy way...if that makes any sense at all. Wonderful job! I applaud you once more! ~Gaia
wallyflower 2003-05-08 ch 1,	abuseA beautiful take on how the Watch might view their Commander Vimes... and I do mean, beautiful. I wish I could be coherent, and give you a real review, but really, all I can do is applaud.
Leona-da-Quirm 2003-04-22 ch 1,	abuseI keep meaning to put you on my favorite authors list, but all of the stories I've tried to read since then have been Night Watch spoilers. I know, I know, well I only started reading them last year. So I finally decided to go back to one of my favorites of yours and write a review. I like this one. It could be the core of one of Pratchett's stories. Of course, "the limbs and outward flourishes" are a lot of what makes him great, but then you'd have to write a whole book.
Casira 2003-03-09 ch 1,	abuseCool extrapolation of an intriguing quote. me likes it. :)
samvimes 2003-03-06 ch 1, anon.	abuseOmake! My new word for the day :) Actually, Ysabet, I'm at work on a Vimes-Werewolf story as we speak. It's called "In the Blood"; I've got it about three-quarters of the way finished. Here's what I came up with for Vimes (direct quote from the fic): "He was whip thin, with a tail that looked like it'd been chewed by something, possibly a piece of farm equipment. You could still see his ribs, because his black fur, fading to grey, was short and, yes, still scruffy, sticking out at odd angles. There were lighter patches, too, covering scars, and white around the muzzle. He had one ear that flopped over, and one that stood upright; both had chunks missing. The scar across his right eye was a bare patch of skin, angling obliquely from just below his ear to almost the tip of his nose, which was black, with a pink blotch. Oh, there was no doubt he was a wolf. He had a rangy, wild look to him, like Gavin and Wolfgang'd had. But there was also the intimation that somewhere, deep in his ancestry, had been a bit of somebody's leg." :) Hope to have that finished this weekend, but if I have to pull another ten-hour paint day tomorrow, it may not happen. Thanks! Sam
Ysabet 2003-03-06 ch 1,	abuseWhew; nice omake (sorry-- anime word for "stuff the Author didn't elaborate on enough"; my anime habit has just bitten my Discworld habit-- yarf!). I remember that comment about patterns; it's true, too. You DO notice stuff like how many pinpricks the ceiling tile directly above your nose has when you're lying on an emergency room gurney. Really nicely-written piece of work; Sibyl in particular was in character-- and I almost wish Angua HAD bitten Vimes; wouldn't he make an interesting werewolf? A bit boney, nothing special in the fur department-- and with teeth straight from a Tyranosaurus Rex.
SilentStep 2003-02-19 ch 1,	abuseBeautiful.
samvimes (lazy) 2003-02-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseHallo all :) Thank you, as always, for your kind comments. Epiphany, I think you're right, I don't think any companion I wrote to this would be up to the original -- it's like sequels to movies. Rose, you know, I hadn't thought about that line, but I don't know what I'd do. I always assumed it referred to his tanglings with Margolotta and Madam and that was it. I suppose there's always the possibility of an encounter of some kind with Mrs. Palm, but really now. I shall consider. If you've got an idea, I'd be more than happy to hear it :) Thanks all! Sam
Rose 2003-02-17 ch 1, anon.	abuseThe throwaway line that I'd most like to see a story produced from is, "Oh here we go again, thought Vimes. Why did I wait until I was married to become strangely attractive to powerful women?" Not that I'm hinting anything. Hint Hint Okay, maybe I am.
