 Nate The Ape 2008-07-19 . chapter 1Great to see another tale from you. I agree that this fic worked just fine with a pair of lady meerkats as opposed to three.
I loved L'Oreal's "Because I'm worth it," play on words, and Pumbaa's line, "What are the rocks guarding?" Heh.
But now for two problems that I have. First, I personally don't feel that the present tense approach suited this story all that well. It just interferes with the flow and prevents you from truly immersing yourself in the scene, ya know? This fic also seems like it should be a bit longer too, if only for the sake of more humor.
Besides that, I also find it difficult to imagine that Timon, being a wild animal, wouldn't feel at least SOMETHING of an instinctive interest in the suricate sisters. In other words, his immediate "Take a hike girls," response really didn't make very much sense to me or feel totally right. The way I see such an encounter going down myself, well, I think he'd flirt a bit initially, but suddenly "come to his senses," and THEN tell those lady kats to go fly a kite, IMO.
Overall though, this was a fun little fic, and well written. You're definitely one of the top echelon writers here, and it shows. |
