abuseElli bakes a pie. Good one. Reading about her cooking always cracks me up. :D

Really great stuff. I'm sorry I took forever to review... ack! But anyway, I loved it. I loved that you don't quite make Popuri out to be as dumb as others make her out to be. She still retains some of her flightiness (i.e blurting out to Liam that Kai was having an affair), but she came off really well. Kai did too... and their relationship. Even though you don't write them as much as Doctor and Elli, you still did a great job with them.

Elli flipping out on Liam was great- one of my favorite moments in the story so far (just because it takes so much to get her to do something like that). The plot's really rolling along- Liam has to know that everyone else knows he's having an affair... right? Poor Elli... I hope everything works out for her. And I hope Liam gets what's coming to him. I mean, it's in the title, after all.

Can't wait for more!

abuseOkay, gotta be honest here: some of your sentences were pretty clumsy. Take this, for instance:

"During the flurry of activity, I nibble at the remaining half of the pie (I suspect that I have subconscious self-loathing issues), and play detective, alert and ready to pick up on any tiny clue that might give me some idea how the soppy-sweetest, in-love-est guy since my Dad could just up and get bored with a girl who makes him smile like that."

There are about three or four separate thoughts in that sentence that could have been separated out into smaller sentences of their own. I think sometimes you try to string together too many thoughts and perspectives with semicolons and parantheses, so try to break them up and make them a little less awkward. Sometimes when a phrase is more terse, it kind of has a sharper, wittier edge to it.

Other than that...man, it's been FAR too long since you updated this. XD

abuseOhmyGod, an update! :O

This interpretation of Popuri was brilliant, and one of the best I have ever seen. Seriously, I loved every minute of it: the photos, the pie, Popuri's outrageous lie (which had me laughing hysterically for about two minutes), and the commentary Karen and Kai made after hearing about said lie.

Ah, but Liam's really bugging me now. What the fudge is his motive?! Sweet little Elli deserves way better than him. >.>

abuse...Wow. That was HILARIOUS as well as very well written and such an oh-so-good interpretation of Popuri! I've missed this thing, I really have.

I think you did a great job with Popuri in this chapter and as always it was so funny. I look forward to your to your next update!

abuse...This is damn good.

Why haven't you updated?! It has been ages since I read such a fabulous, wonderful, in-character fic! I love this so effing much!

Rhianwen, how could you let this beautiful story rot for months?! It deserves more attention! It deserves more reviews! It--it's just perfect, okay?

I love it. And I'll have you know, I refused to let anyone talk to me while I was reading this. I simply did not want to be interrupted while reading this masterpiece.

UPDATE.

abuseI love this story. I really enjoyed how you protrayed the characters in this. Especally Karen. Karen rules all in this story. I am so glad that you broke away from the classic, 'farmer is so goody-goody' and had him as the villian. I never seen that before, and how you wrote it, it was well worth the reading.

But seriously, you should consider becoming a writer. It has potential

abuseOh, wow! You are such a gifted witer! I am shocked by the level of maturity in your writing, and it all flows together very well. Especially when you switch from different point of views. You should seriously get a job in writing, for this is simply amazing!

I'm sort of confused as to who Liam is, but I'm assuming he is the farmer/main character in FoMT? I love how you portray him, and it makes me wonder weather he is a good guy or a bad guy..hm? And the way you write the little 'intimate' tidbits are so accurate, they make me feel like I am acctually there! You also seem to dig deep into the thoughts of the Villagers like you really knew them! I admire that! I would never be able to se into the eyes of the villagers like THAT. Truly amazing stuff you got there!

Really, keep going with your work because I seem to enjoy it, especially the Elli oneshots. Don't give up this story though, because I will cry like there is no tommorow! (That happened to me once, I was deep in a story and then the next chapter..WHAM! "imnotdoingthisanymorekthx" and so on >.

abuseTo be completely honest, it takes a lot for a fanfiction to grab my attention so much that I'll actually read it from beginning to end; sometimes I have to force myself to do it, or else I'll skim the top and the bottom, just to see what happens. But I read this with no trouble at all, and I find myself kind of addicted, to tell the truth. I pity Elli, but at the same time, I can hardly stop laughing. I love this style. Keep it going.

abuseI'm very much enjoying this story! It's interesting to see how the author writes other POVs just as well as she writes Elli's and the Doctor's. I hope this story is continued to completion. ^_^

abuseI'm enjoying this, it's different. Your writing style though does better suit one shots. I'm not sure what it is, maybe I just find your arrangements quite heavy to read a lot of. Some of your sentences are quite complex and if there are only enough of them to constitute a one shot, then perhaps that's all I need.

This story seems to have become an infatuation with each character in the town and you saying "look how well I know these characters" rather than an independently living thing with a plot that developes steadily throughout it's telling. Perhaps that is what's bothering me.

Also, I've never played HM, never seen it and in all your other fics Elli and the Doctor are a couple, or are in love, or married or using each other as a climbing frame, or deliciously playing with words with each other as each goes about their work rather than doing what they really want which is give each other a proper examination, or whatever, so... sounding hopelessly dim, I have to ask... who the hell is Liam? And why has Elli been married to him for three years?

I can only presume this is an AU version of the HM world to that which the terminally gorgeous Elli and the good Doctor normally inhabit?
