Hey Tonica,

I remember reading this story back in September, but I didn't review it because it was so long, and at the same time I was too brain-dead and exhausted to think. I like to comment and remark on each line and each part that jumps out at me. Forgive me for not doing that in this review. I remember that overall I loved it. I remember that there were certain parts and lines that really hit me and made me laugh, and I remember thinking that it really shed a new light on Dickie. I just never thought he was so uptight that people would question his virginity! Additionally, it was funny to think of him as bi-curious. I loved how you added a whole new dimension to Dickie and made him more human. You made the reader/CiC fan care about him a little more, rather than blowing him off as just another stupid, slick-taking guy (especially with the storyline about him getting kidnapped in Latin America). I also remember being surprised that you compared Kelly to a cheerleader when she was telling Vince about getting caught with her high school boyfriend (was that how it went?). However, now I can definitely see her that way after watching Ever Carradine's character in "Women's Murder Club." My first impression of Dickie's artist girlfriend (you can tell I haven't re-read the story) was that she reminded me of Muriel in "The Accidental Tourist."

All in all, I thought you did a great job, especially with the descriptions and the details. I just wish you'd write more CiC fan fiction, if you have time. Don't be discouraged by the low number of reviews - the length of the story was daunting and overwhelming. I like the way you cast a new light on the story and the characters. I admire the way you got the story entirely written and perfected before you posted it instead of posting it chapter by chapter.

Very fun to read a story about Dickie. One suggestion would be to put in some kind of break between scenes. Makes it easier to read and follow.
