 Skellagirl 2009-01-06 . chapter 1Hey, I liked that. :)
The few things I would say is that the short, choppy sentences are a bit awkward to read. I do think it's in the character of Mrs. Lovett, but there's just something a little jumbled about it (Although that does make sense, and very well may be the feel you were going for, in which case I apologize!).
The other is this: Somebody pointed out that the 'why not dance?' train of thought was a bit weaker than the rest, and I agree. It seems a little short, I think, before all of the sudden she's thrown into the furnace.
But besides that, I quite liked it! I think it was giddy and fluttery, like Mrs. Lovett should be. :)
Anyway... I have to admit I'm not very good at giving critiques, but I hope this helps in some way!

 Vaetra 2008-05-22 . chapter 1i heard someone call mrs lovett "a martyr of broken hearts", which i thought described her perfectly, and which i think you really captured here. i don't usually like first person fics, but i think it really helped to communicate her madness. great job! |
