Cherrysinger 2008-05-11 ch 1,	abuseJareth didn't say I LOVE YOU back! -cries- aww...lol, Jareth in everyday society is weird. He's better suited to the Labyrinth I think. And what's with that 'old son' thing? It sounds very strange...never heard anybody say that; is it a European thing?
QuickStar 2008-04-23 ch 1,	abuseI really have enjoy reading your ff I was looking froward to reading the sequel but then I read you stop what pity who know if you'll ever continue oh well then thanks for finishing the story and this well thats about it. Ja Ne
NS 2008-04-05 ch 1, anon.	abuseBeautiful conclusion to the best Labyrinth fic I've ever had the pleasure to read. This is like, the fourth time I've read this story, and every time is wonderful. Although you've flown from the fanfiction world, you should NEVER stop writing. You have a GIFT, kiddo, USE IT! ;D
Alfsigesey 2008-03-19 ch 1,	abuseThis is for all of A Forfeit of Dreams, not just the Epilogue. Wow. I haven’t read a fanfic in five years. But last night I suddenly had the urge to hear something, anything at all about what could have possibly happened to Sarah and Jareth. I needed a nostalgia day. I just picked the first story I found that was finished and had a lot of reviews, I didn’t think I’d really get into it, I just figured it would be a good way to distract myself for a few hours. Instead, I stayed up till midnight reading, then woke up again at five in the morning and couldn’t get back to sleep because I HAD to know how it ended! So, thank you, very, very much. I really genuinely enjoyed the story from start to finish. The dialogue was good, each character was perfect—they spoke, and acted and you described them exactly the way they appear in the movie, without it ever feeling the least bit forced. The only thing that even kind of bothered me was that you didn’t incorporate much music or Jareth singing at all until the end. I was kind of hoping for some of that a little earlier. It doesn’t matter as much since it’s a novel-length fic and not a movie, but I was so glad when the songs showed up at the end, that I couldn’t help but wonder why it took so long. Umm… I like to try and mention a favorite part. But there are so many. I’m going to have to go with Toby and Jareth being reunited... too precious. Yeah, that’s it. Thanks for being brilliant. MWAH~Alf
anticipationof 2007-12-11 ch 1,	abuseSo... Instead of doing my homework, I ended up reading your fanfiction for the better part of the evening. And I must say, without reservations, that you so ** WIN. Sorry that that isn't a bit more eloquent, but my mind is so bedazzled with amazing diction and astounding imagery that I can't find anymore words to say, without sounding stupider than I appear to be already. Even without the sequel, the story is perfect as is already. I loved that you did a happy ending, which was surprisingly a rather uncorny twist to Sarah and Jareth's tragic love. This shouldn't even be just a fanfiction. I am dead serious, if this was written into a screenplay as a sequel to Labyrinth, I'd drop $10 multiple times to go see it in the movie theaters. Wonderful wonderful job. I will love you forever (and no, I do not kid).
dream-catcher angel9 2007-09-26 ch 1,	abuseOh. My. Gawd!! i love you!! well, obviously not in the same way as Jareth and Sarah, (lol) but you know... any way... i love love LOVE! forfeit (and epiloue) so you totaly need to keep me posted about your fanfic-fanfic i need to know what happens (becauce im an obsessive freak). yay! there isn't really much else to say, so yeah, see ya! XD oh, ps: love the kiss/pendant scene. fits of giggles... good times... well actually more like rotfl, but yeah...
LM22102 2007-09-12 ch 1,	abuseHum. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed in the ending. The opening, if you will. Maybe it's because I didnt expect it. I absolutely enjoyed the rest of the chapter. Darling, I felt CLOSURE. Then .. you added the family. Well. Alright, so now I'm a little curious. I liked it, you wrote it well, I just .. it seemed out of place. Perhaps if you added that to the beginning of the sequel. To me, it truly seems ..well, detached from everything else you built up. You must understand my intentions, I'm not saying it was BAD, per say. Just .. new. Anew, as you put it. It doesn't belong at the end, or beginning as some would think of the AFOD/Forfeit series. There were no former mentioning of them, no build up. I'm sure it was sudden inspiration. M .. I don't dislike the introduction, but I'm not exactly warming up to it either. Anyway, sun's coming up. Damn. Try reading all that in one sitting. I've yet to go to sleep, and I've got to wake up in an hour or two. Ha! Take that, world! I love you anyway, and I regret none so do not apologize. Well wishes in your life, Katharine. And I only know your name because the story is in the back window, and your name is written there. I honestly wish you well, and hope, and love. It's far less than what you've given me, but it'll have to do. Godbless, and thank you, LM22102
brindlegreyhound 2007-09-07 ch 1,	abuseAs I already reviewed (until scrolling down and seeing that the epilogue was also posted here), this was wonderful. I do not think I will read your sequel, simply because it is not finished and will never be finished. I cannot commend you more on how greatly the characters remained in--well--character. Particularly Jareth. He was the Jareth that I was intrigued by in the movie. You even made Sarah a character to love (and I will admit I have never really liked her as a character.) Very well written, well visualized, story that actually makes some damned sense. And also a Jareth who is not a sniveling ninny. Congrats. I just wish more fan fic writers would follow your lead.
violetmadame 2007-07-05 ch 1,	abuseok i am so sorry. I'm on the "slow mental path" right now. I have 2 questions. (btw I'm in love with you) 1. I know you originally intended Jareth not to remember, but does that mean he doesn't? (original intentions change?) 2. Sarah remembers and brian remembers right? 3. If Jareth doesn't remember and everyone else does...how can Sarah be so comfortable around him? I'm so lost. Please help. I knw you wrote this a long time ago but I'd REALLY appreciate it!
StakeMeSpike04 2007-06-19 ch 1,	abuseBecause I could go on and on, raving about how much I loved your story for hours, I will attempt to keep this short. Your story is quite possibly one of the best Labyrinth fanfictions I have ever read. While I admit that quite a few do exist that are a perfect example of good writing and creativity, yours is one of the golden ones that stands out. The plot, the sequence, the incorporation of Henson's creativity, as well as your own, are all simply treasurable. It takes a good author to create an original story, but sometimes it takes a better author to take a story that has already been created, and give it a new twist and tale of its own. It is not an easy feat. With that, I will end my overly-too-long babbling. I sincerely feel that the time spent reading your fanfiction was time well spent. Thank you! I remain your humble fan, StakeMeSpike04
DreaBean 2007-04-29 ch 1,	abuseKL Morgan, I rarely review (because I rarely find something that is truly worth my time) and since I did in fact read your Bio about the permenant hiatus, I decided that I might as well try it, and cry later. I loved it. I tend to spend far lengths of time away from this website because it's often time the son of badfic and mary-sue, but I occassionally come across a gem like AFOD. Oddly, I haven't come across this story before and Labyrinth was the first fandom I ever got into. Several years ago, I could have told you that I've read every Jareth/Sarah story on here. Apparently that's not true. I dislike a love sick, whiny, convulted version of Jareth that only lives for Sarah's love but bitchs and moans when he can't get it. Your Jareth was the strict opposite of him. Your Jareth I saw stepping out of my Labyrinth poster, or the cover of my DVD. He was written intrinsically to match the man in the movie, and to make us adoring fans happy with the JS moments of fluff. My favorite chapters had to be the Venician Dream ones. I have never grinned so much just by reading two chapters. I love Venice (you should read The Stravaganza series by Mary Hoffman if you're really interested in something like that) and I adored the relationship that The Prince and Lady Sarah had, and how it was built upon everything that could have happened in real life. I don't mind your OC characters, honestly. In my opinion I think they're a really great way to build and construct believable characters to use at any point. It's good practice, since you can't really publish a fanfic. (Although some have, just ask anyone who reads Phantom of the Opera fanfic.) Anyway-- thank you, very much, for writing this and brightening my day, and while I probably won't read the sequel (I'm a stickler for happy endings) I wish you luck in all you do. Maybe someday I'll come back here and find you've updated. Hey- A girl can dream. Thank you again, 'Drea
Super Pleb 2007-03-11 ch 1,	abuseAha, found the last chapter. Bwuhahahahaha Very satisfying, fulfilled my current fluff needs. Ever so slightly curious as to how Jareth's stopped being so cruel, stopped being dead and what/where he got the pendant from in the first place. Lovely writing!
Nienna Telrunya 2007-02-21 ch 1,	abuseIt's wonderful; beautiful; strikingly well-written. I couldn't stop reading it -- truely incredible and I bow to your expertise with tears in my eyes at the artwork of this tale.
Sounasha 2007-01-19 ch 1,	abuseOh... my... gods. This was... beautiful, and amazing, and I'm leaving my review for the entire hulking story on the Epilogue even though I think I prefer it without the Epilogue. Don't get me wrong - the epilogue was wonderful and satisfying and gratifying, but almost too gratifying, you know? Fluff to please writer and readers, and I kept having this tension in my center, waiting for it to crack into darkness again. (And I suppose technically, it did/does, in the next story - but as you said, that's a departure from something akin to canon.) Speaking of canon - I am delighted and astonished by your accurate portrayal of all the Labyrinth characters. More so than that, I think you even captured the feel of the Labyrinth, with your imagery and writing style. This is what a sequel to the Labyrinth might be; this is the Labyrinth grown up. This is Labyrinth for adults, with much finer acting (the actor who played Sarah in the movie made me wince, honestly). "Forfeit of Dreams" has made me fall in love with Labyrinth. I wasn't overly fond of the movie; I liked it, it was interesting, and the character of Jareth lingered in my head long after the movie ended - but the only impressive part about the whole thing was the puppetry and Jareth and his portrayal. Your story, though, utterly blew me away and enamoured me of the Labyrinth world, story, and characters utterly. When the Goblin King "died" - I admit, I teared up, and remained that way through the entire story and even some of the epilogue because - damnit, it can't possibly be this good, can't end this happily, something will happen... and then it did end happily. Well done. Very well done. Though I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I feel cheated by the happy ending... It doesn't seem like a story that should end happily. I suppose it has a bit of bittersweetness to it, since Jareth doesn't remember who he is ... but it feels like it should end opened and raw, like old legends rather than cleaned-up-for-modern-audiences fairy tales. But the fuzzy part of me is glad it ended happily; I wanted to see them happy. I just wonder if it didn't lessen some of the emotional punch (which was already heavy enough, mind you, so maybe it'd've been TOO much... but... I dunno, I'm indecisive on this). I've spread this story around to several people. Thank you for improving my outlook on Labyrinth and making a fan of me.
Mistress DragonFlame 2007-01-11 ch 1,	abuseAh, nice Epilogue. I liked how you had Brian and Nikki remember the dream. But, I'll tell you, I pictured Jareth riding a Crotch rocket more so then a Harley--a pitch black one, thick, fast, and powerful. Maybe even the one that costs a million bucks, the one that has a used jet engine in it. Now, for me to go and find that sequel...
