oh my god. i was actually CACKLING through like a third of this story - especially the end ("I HATE COUPLES") WOW what a visual.. and the whole "you could kiss me all day and i wouldn't care" exchange. HAHA.
B, this was fantastic and i'm going to be giggling about it all night.
love,
keza

aww! umm ok though i have to admit that i am just REALLY excited for the sprace, especially with these prologue-type descriptions of race. ah, the jacobs family. and the Jewish references. and geeky David - excellent.

no, i think the groping is good, especially when it's stream of consciousness like this was.
favorite part? the guy opening the top of the elevator. whoops! and the specs/dutchy dichotomy. so, SO entertaining. and so sweet. :)
another thing that i really like about this story is how you have all the boys in the same class kind of interacting-but-not-interacting. it provides such great segues!

okay a few things. mainly, my teeth hurt a little. i mean, the fluff, it's.. it's wondrous. i'm grinning and trying (unsuccessfully) not to giggle.. i find that the story works best when I imainge you in the place of Mrs. Meyers. HA.
perfectly normal, boys. hee.

This is another one of the few a) slash and b) modern Newsies fics that I really like. I usually find both "genres" to be too outlandish to be believable, but even for a humor piece I think this story handles it well.

Though I liked the first 3 parts very much, what knocked me out in this piece was the Spot/Race bit. The pacing of it was so natural, and the dialogue worked nicely. What was best was the inner dialogue, I thought (particularly the "straight as an arrow" bit, which I've actually wondered about before also, although not the extent of the entering and quivering, haha!). Very funny, and very Racetrack (if he was gay, which of course he is not ;P). Most of all, the whole thing was very hot! You get a gold star... of arrousal.

OMG CUTE! *squee* So... I loved these! I especially liked the first chapter! (I'm such a Blush fangirl it's scaring me...). And I loved the whole "straight as an arrow" thing. Very Freudian. ^_^

Can you tell I'm trying to play catch-up with leaving you reviews? Yeah. Let's pretend it didn't take me 5 months to review this. *hides head in shame*

So, um, yes. Angsty Sprace = goodness. And indenial!Race is just so pathetic and adorable. I love the way you choreographed the fight/getting stuck under the seat part (I always envy people who can write movement with clarity.), and the whole exchange was so in-character and perfect for them and... yes. A fantastic way to end off another fantastic story.

Did I ever mention how much this chapter made me squee? Because it did, a whole lot. I can't remember when it was, but I definitely printed this out and read it over during some crappy day at school, and it made my day immeasurably better. I love that the Jacobs parents would do this for them, and I love how precious and cute Jack and David are throughout. Yay for happy anniversaries. :)

THAT is HILARIOUS. Ohmigosh, I think that was the funniest thing ever, even if it's not supposed tah be funny. It was really, REALLY good, and I hope you write more SpRace's, 'cause you're good at those. M...SpRace...Uh. Yeah. Anyways...Good job! :)
moonlightgodess 2004-06-23 . chapter 4
I absolutely love it! Each one was written beautifully, and you seem to have a perfect handle on each of the boys' personality. Fluff that makes you want to curl up in it and read more and humor that makes you laugh out loud (multiple times)... Brilliant.

((This is off on a random tangent, but your pen name's spiffy. Great reference to Le Mis.))

I absolutely *love* the fourth chapter.

OK, so he didn't ACTUALLY write the truth. Right? 'Cause otherwise...hehe, I wish I was their teacher.
I love this. You rule.

Oh my god. Oh my GOD. (I feel like that lady in the subway.) OH MY GOD.

Ok dude? This was good. Like one of the best stories I have read yet. Like--WHOA. Aw man I'm gonna cry...
`
Chapter One: Absolutely ADORABLE. I LOVE BLINK/MUSH SO MUCH ITS INSANE. And of course the whole "it's perfectly normal" thing cracked me up, too perfect for words...Who wouldn't stare at Mush walking around shirtless? :D
`
Chapter Two: HYSTERICAL. "Sure, it's forty flights, but I'd still just as soon walk. There's a reason I have such shapely calves." BRILLIANT! God that cracked me up...For some reason after I finished chapter one I was dreading reading Specs/Dutchy, but I loved it!! YAY!
`
Chapter Three: I can't think of an adjective right now. I usually hate Jack/Dave but this was so CUTE and I loved how you had Jack narrate, he's so funny! Of COURSE Dave is hot! Just in an incredibly dorky I-never-know-when-to-shut-up way...
`
Chapter Four: My favorite. Definitely. "I am straight as an arrow, though when you think about it, that's kind of a stupid phrase. Arrows are long, and hard, and have a bit of a thing on the end that's supposed to get shoved into something else. And they get pulled in and out of quivers a lot. I'm just saying, maybe the phrase should be about a slightly less phallic object." Dear GOD, how the hell did you think that up? And the whole Spot not wanting to die a virgin was hysterical, and the way that Racetrack was in denial the whole time...
`
Ahem. In short, you are god. I have never read slash written the way you write it, how it's funny and a little romantic but not melodramatic...Wow. Dear god, I loved this story. I shall add it to my favorites list with no hesistation whatsoever!! Aw hell, I'll add you to Author Alert and Favorite Author's list too while I'm at it. You are my new best friend, lol. Nice job!!
