Cantare 2008-08-21 ch 31,	abuseGreat job on this story! I know you wrote it a while ago but I just found it a few days ago. I never imagined a realistic Gaston/Belle story, but I was intrigued by the first chapter with your accurate characterizations and simple narration style. I kept wondering if the Beast would be involved in the story, which would have made for an interesting love triangle, and would probably split readers too. The growth of both main characters through the story is done very well, especially on Gaston's part. You also made Belle a flawed person, pointing out how she could be hypocritical and narrow-minded in her own way. When you described her as a daydreamer lost in her stories, it reminded me of myself. The original characters were also handled well, especially Herve. You didn't demonize him or exaggerate his flaws, but just made him a realistic character. I don't know if you like Aladdin, but I've written my own non-canon pairing for that series, in case you want to check it out. It is refreshing to see another author writing long stories of non canon romance. Keep up the great work!
Dimonah Tralon 2008-08-17 ch 31,	abuseWow! I absolutely loved this story! You did a wonderful job with keeping everyone in character! It was so much fun to read this story! I'm off to read the sequel!
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-06 ch 31,	abuseAww, this was really great! I wonder what other crazy-go-nuts pairings would end up working out this well. I might have to play around with that...well, anyways, it probably won't be nearly as good as what you came up with. I was completely obsessed with this story the entire way through. Great work! And now, I must go read that sequel...
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 26,	abuseAw...that was cute. Somebody had to let him know that love isn't just a literary device.
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 25,	abuselaughs This was a great chapter. I'm realizing that I have more to this story left than I thought! But I have to say...it's so interesting, the way you're handling these characters. The way you saw them in the movie...it was like being asked to draw a dead-on birds eye view of, say, a table. On the paper, it just looks like a square. But you tilted the perception so that you could see more to them. Gaston isn't just a mean braggart, LeFou isn't just comic relief...that's what I love about this story. Not to mention, it's so damn entertaining.
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 24,	abusesque! Very few writers could take a couple I initially hated, and make me squee over it. Excellent job, dahling!
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 19,	abuseI've just decided. I don't like Hervé. He ruined Romeo and Juliet, and he doesn't like snow, and he lives in a city but doesn't do anything. If I lived in, say, New York, I'd be out doing something all the time. Personally, I doubt if the fair will do anything but make Gaston look more awesome.
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 16,	abusesigh I don't know what to think. I mean, I like Hervé, despite the fact that he sort of sucks the fun out of reading. He says really interesting things. And I would love to see Belle go off to Paris and have the life she's dreamed of. But...there's so much more of a spark with Gaston. Sure, he's a bit childish, and a lunkhead at that, but they're in love...grr, this is confusing. How about the enchantress comes in, casts a spell so that the beast exists again, and we go back to happy Beast/Belleness. Would that work? :-p Nevermind. This story is too much fun to read. :-)
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 12,	abuseM...I think I'm falling for Hervé...gods, I'm such a nerd, aren't I? He had me when he started talking about the depth of fairy tales...sigh.
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-05 ch 9,	abuseGahh! No! I refuse to believe that you're pulling this off! All my principles are against a Gaston/Belle ship! And yet...this story is so convincing! laughs You really are great at this. I was wondering...that "Don't you dare close your eyes" line. Was that a hint of Aladdin, or am I just going crazy?
Artemis of the Golden Apple 2008-08-04 ch 3,	abuselaughs I was hesitant at first...but you're pulling this off really well! It's all in character, and I love all the miscommunication between them. It's really fun to read. I have to say...that scene at the beginning of this chapter reminds me a lot of the scene that's only in the DVD version of the movie, where Belle is reading Romeo and Juliet with the Beast. And it made me realize that no matter how nice Gaston gets, I'll never be able to see him with Belle. She HAS to be with the Beast, in my mind. Just the fact that he likes the story of Romeo and Juliet, not some macho tale...and that he tries reading for real, with no tantrums...well, you get it. But anyways, great job!
2008-07-28 ch 1, anon.	abuseThis was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect and you are a wonderful writer. My family always teases me about falling in love with the bad guy in any story or movie, but Beauty and the Beast has been my favorite Disney movie since pre-school; it would be unloyal, disrespectful even, to the story for me to fall in love with Gaston. It would never happen- until I read this story, that is.
Heather 2008-07-17 ch 31, anon.	abuseOutstanding! You made the plot very believable. I love how both Belle and Gaston changed to fit together better, while still remaining themselves. You're a very talented writer, and I think you could do a good job with just about any premise. I'll check out the sequel and some of your other stories.
Cascaper 2008-06-30 ch 31,	abuse"After the bookstore, they would go to other stores ... After shopping, they would have a relaxing lunch in the café." One too many "after"s in the same paragraph. Perhaps an "and" before the second one to break it up a bit? So, this is the end. Such sadness. But how I love it. Especially watching Gaston take care of Alain all on his own! The twine...the drinking songs (snort)...so perfect. And we end with Belle getting some much-needed time to herself and her beloved reading- just the right closer. (Did I mention I also love her teaching methods?) Thank you so much for this wonderful ride- I will most definitely read the sequel. You are a gifted writer. Faved!
Cascaper 2008-06-30 ch 30,	abuseAhaha, c'est les Incroyables! Only one more chapter left...no fair. But if it never ended that would just be insane. One of my favorite things about this story is how real and accessible the events are. Every action and event has a natural consequence on the characters. And it's all incredibly sweet. One more to go...off to read it.
