LOL. That sounds so much like Joe. Great job!

Flipping hilarious (not like I ever mention the cliff-hanging thing in my own stories... :)! This was a day brightener.

Hope things in your real life are going a little better for you.

Oh man, could not stop laughing. Great job.

This story was great! It had me laughing so hard by the end, but it was also very interesting and thought-provoking to see the trio in a different light - tense, frustrated, and a little bit angry. Although we rarely get to see this side of them in the books, I think you did a very good job of keeping them in-character - this is exactly how I would imagine them in their less-than-finer hours.

I especially loved how you wrote Joe - in his frustration, he took his tendency to tease and turned it into angry mocking. I love how he comments on and handles the relationship between Nancy and Frank!

Overall, awesome job! This was definitely a great work.

Hahahahahaa!!

I just came across this in someones favs. Very funny had me laughing outloud and everything. And we all know it is true too. Nancy always needs the boys to pull her up from over a cliff. Great job!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Hahaha!

That was massively amusing, haha. You should definitely create more frustrated Frank/Joe/Nancy scenes =D Great job there!

Hilarious!!

Oh, love it. Joe is such an awesome character.

LOL! That was great. Score one for Joe! Nancy is definitely a cliffhanger. :D

I loved the N/F tension, of course. :) But especially because it was from Joe's POV. It's interesting to see them through another character's perception. Joe wants them to either be together or not interested at all because he's worried about the friendship they all share being threatened. It makes sense that if Frank's frienship with Nancy is strained, Joe's would be too by default. I never really thought about that before, but it's true. And Nancy really hit low with that comment about Joe and pretty girls at the mall. Ouch! I don't blame Joe for being mad at that one. Even though I don't think Nancy meant to bring back bad memories.

Great little one-shot, Lightwarai! Can't wait to read more from you! *wink, wink* :)

Hehe, that was good. I liked that!

This is like the modern version of "If you look in a dictionary under 'cliffhanger', you'll see a picture of Nancy Drew."

Love it, lightwarai! I was laughing all the way through. Thanks for writing this one.

I LOVE IT! *Faves immediately*

*Giggles* Sorry. But I love literal cliffhangers with Nancy. And so seeing something poking fun at that is even better. :D :D

This story completely brightened my Monday. What a creative idea!! You have all three of our favorite characters down perfectly, and I liked the tension that you had between them in the beginning. It was very realistic -- these are three people that work very closely together, so they're bound to get on each other's nerves once in a while. Especially when Joe is being forced to do boring, mundane research work! And I really liked how you mentioned the tension that existed between Joe and Nancy in A Question of Guilt -- it's always great to drop in canon references that pertain to your own story!

The dialogue in this was fast-paced, witty, and had me downright laughing out loud :) Some of my favorite lines were:

Joe frowned. “Don’t give me that innocent stuff, Drew. I know how your mind works!”

She crossed her arms over her chest. “Oh, really, Mr. Know-It-All. Tell me what I’m thinking right now.”

Joe smiled sweetly. “I can’t, it might make Frankie here blush,” he replied calmly, nodding towards Frank.

Frank’s only reply was a glare.

Too, too funny, especially since it put Nancy and Frank in the hot seat!

And of course, the cliffhanger reference was just brilliant and the perfect ending to the story. What a clever way to poke gentle fun at a commonly used...ahem...cliffhanger in the SuperMysteries :)

I just absolutely loved everything about this piece, lightwarai. I'm always in awe of how you write these characters, because you've got such a great handle on their personalities. And you do such a wonderful job with the N/F tension, from Frank leaping between Nancy and Joe to both of them blushing from Joe's comments. Too perfect!

Here's to hoping we see another story from you soon!

This piece was a gem, and a treasure worth reading. Not often do we see the cranky side of our trio of detectives. I think we like to believe they always get along-outside of a few minor book moments- but I love that you built some tension into the story. The ending had me laughing out loud to nobody, but my cats took off in a run when I fell out of my office chair giggling. What a clever way to define a word and it hit so well on Joe’s personality. Let me also compliment the title of your story. I love twisted titles that say everything but are pushed away from their true meaning. Looking at the word Cliffhanger, my mind automatically goes to a death defying situation, not a Joe Hardy rewriting of the word’s true meaning. All I have left to say is: fantastic job, keep up the good work, and I hope to see more from you soon.

Lol. That was so cute! Awesome job, lightwarai! I was so excited when I saw you'd written another story. Your characterizations of Joe, Frank, and Nancy were great. I really liked the tiny Frank/Nancy hints. :D
