Oh my god that was amazing!! You are seriously talented!

nice fic!! post more please

Excellent characterization and props to you for attempting to figure out the ages!

Ooh that was great, really clever I liked it, and your little working out of the show's crazay time schemes...I think Sandy was 22 when he met Kirsten but I think mebbe she was younger. Not sure! lol

I feel for Julie, because here's this little girl growing in poverty and violence.Who just wants something better than what she was born into.Kirsten's naivete just really got me.

Awesome, awesome story. It was really realistic and sad, and it was a good idea to give a perspective from both Kirtsen and Julie's side, and it was a nice toch to end them the same way. Excellent writing, I actually hope you add more to this story, it really has a lot of potential (not sure if you were going for a one-shot or not). Anyhow, good work and kudos for trying to figure out the Newport timeline... ;)

An excellent story.
So glad i'm not the only one who gets frustrated with the OC continuity factor. Just today I was attempting to figure out the whole Kaitlin age mess.

But an excellent story, I loved the part focusing on Julie especially there is so much behind her character and the show never dwells into it. She has so much history and i'm glad that you decided to delve into it.

wow, you've certainly done your hw with all the dates and ages. i've caught most of those errors but i think i missed a few myself.
i really think you did a good job of showing the whole 'grass is greener' type of comparison... like no matter what your life is like sometimes you cant help but wish for something more. the details were very good, i liked how both seem embarrased about their lives, because i can see both characters reacting like that. kirsten, especially with the drinking and julie with her embarrassment of riverside. i dont think you made julie too old for her age, i think that julie's character thinks like that, sort of the determination and fascination part... i dont know if that makes any sense, but it was good. kirsten i thought was very in character, how she silently reacts to what is going on around her. so very good. wow that was a long review.

i liked it a lot! yes, the writers' devotion to continuity is completely nonexistent...if i were writing a tv show, the first thing i'd do would be set up a backstory with dates, but whatever. (btw, sandy was 22 when he met kirsten; she could easily have been a couple of years younger than he.)

i thought you captured them both quite well. julie did not seem too old to be eight years old; i've known plenty of eight-year-olds who say things like that. the waving at the end was cute.

good story, u wrote them both well. By the way Sandy said he met kirsten when he was 22 but that doesn't mean kirsten was 22.

I love the idea of Julie idolising the story of Cinderella and wishing that her own Prince Charming would come along one day. I like the addition of her parents and Cindy, giving her some backstory.

I like the idea of Kirsten being inside the limosine and how that shows the contrast between their two lives as children. I especially like how both girls seem to think that the other is leading a better life.

Good maths. The timeline in the show sucks - but your calculations ring true. Most importantly, so do your characterisations!

This was really good. I think you captured their characters really nicely. I liked the bit with Kirsten watching the little girl.

That was really good. As far as the ages go, I think you got as close as anyone can, given the conflicting information in cannon as you say. Nice job!
