 Macs 2009-11-02 . chapter 11My my, you've done it again. This is brilliant.
Your original character in this is really fun to read, especially because as the reader you're privy to both sides, knowing exactly who 'Paul' is and how different he is to Maggie's preconceptions, same with all the other characters.
The style is quite interesting, as you don’t have a lot dialogue in the first few chapters, but your character has intriguing enough thoughts that the story moves forwards as more than a series of observed events.
The idea of looking out on other people and building a fantasy world around them is wonderful. It made me feel like she was watching a doll house, a puppet show but with real people. The fact you didn't go overboard and name about ten families is a plus, the simplicity made it work better. Fancy Nancy is particularly stand out for me; your descriptions of her and her bangly danglies conjured up a great image.
The meeting of each of her characters as the people they really are is very well handled, with a sense of both excitement and palatable disappointment. The subsequent friendship between House, Wilson and Maggie felt a little forced rather than tense at first, before Maggie mentions the names, but that might have been the intention.
I’m finding it very hard to criticise this story. It’s mainly minor points; House’s foul mouthed tirade was a bit out of character and the formatting sometimes leaves sentences hanging off and continuing in the next paragraph.
As always, your plot and pace is excellent, and it was a joy to read. |
 Andromeda-Rayne 2009-07-31 . chapter 11This was so FREAKING LOVELY! Seriously!! What a beautiful lovely beautiful story!! |
 Matteic 2009-03-07 . chapter 11Love it. It's all sweet, agreable to read, very original. Maggie is a woman you'd like to know for real ! I love her way of fill up her life with other's lives, always with affection and yes, some curiosity, but it worked good in the end ! And now she has some real friends.
I also love the way House (and Wilson) are described ! |
 ferryboat George 2008-10-12 . chapter 11I'm really ** that there was absolutely no warning that this was slash. I have no desire to read slash, and unfortunately this was so well written I had to finish it. You should feel flattered, it's the only piece of slash fiction I've ever read, but I'm still ** I got suckered into it. |
 SongoftheDarquePhoenix 2008-08-15 . chapter 11Once again, you have out done yourself. I've always loved 'oustside looking in' fics, but you've even out done that! |
 houseband 2008-07-23 . chapter 11What a great story and concept! I am reading Whisper now and checked out your story list. I am so glad I did. |
 Ravenfur 2008-04-12 . chapter 11This story was awesome. I love stories where you see the main characters from an original point of view and this is definitely going to be one that I'll reread. Great work on a unique POV and a wonderful story.

 Demain Matin 2008-02-12 . chapter 11oh my gosh, such a sweet story! I loved it :) This is so going in my fav stories! |
 Kazuki Landen 2008-02-02 . chapter 11This is absolutely fantastic. I loved chapters nine and ten... House was brilliant. Maggie is a great character, and this was a really neat style of writing.
(By the way, if you hadn't noticed, I'm reading all your House fics. I'm not actually stalking you, it just looks that way.) |
 HotCrossPigeon 2007-10-09 . chapter 11Without a doubt, the best story I've read in a long while.
I just loved the relationship between House and Wilson, and Maggie is such an amazing original character, so well written and just a real treat to read. Thank you so much for this! |
 labyrinth38 2007-09-28 . chapter 11Ah... How sweet! :)
“This evening. You wanna come or not?” was my favorite line. :) I think I'll try and extend my next invitation like that; I'll let you know how that works out... ;)
Thank you *so much* for this - once again - *wonderful* story...! I'm really a fan of practically everything you write and I already can't wait to read more.
BTW: Not even five hours left to catch that train; which means not even *four* to get some sleep... I think I'll be thinking of you tomorrow a lot... ;)
Thanks again! |
 labyrinth38 2007-09-28 . chapter 10Again: Lovely House-Wilson interaction! You always portray these two beautifully...
Hope they'll meet Maggie again! |
 labyrinth38 2007-09-28 . chapter 9Yay! They're all finally meeting! :)
And that's very House, isn't it... Injuring himself while helping somebody, and never even noticing it!
This whole story is still very consistent, despite the drastic change in perspective. Wonderfully done! |
 labyrinth38 2007-09-28 . chapter 8Ahh! Dialog, dialog!! ;)
Very nice transition. Scooter / Luke's cute. :) |
 labyrinth38 2007-09-28 . chapter 7That dancing scene was absolutely adorable...! |
