This was great! I want a sequel, I don't know who wouldn't.

Goodness...I love this story so much! This is one of the best Into the Woods fictions I've read! I hope you write the sequel...or maybe it's already written? I haven't looked yet. This was wonderful! And I love the name Hope Laurel. It is very beautiful. :)

"Where do babies come from?"

Ah, the eternal question that makes parents quake with fear.

He pulled it tight, too tight, underestimating how small her waist was.

Wouldn't it be OVERestimating?

I did quite like this, although you couldn't pay me to give two teenagers with all their hormones permission to live together. If you do write a sequel, let me know.

MAKE A SEQUAL PLEASE

It's a little short. Also the red cloak is somewhere in the intestines of Milky White. but I love the baby's name.

Not a very realistic birth scene. A premature baby without health problems particularly. But I thought the name Hope was appropriate.

Yay, they got married! I kind of wonder where the village /came/ from, though. All the characters we met in the musical either died or ran off...

Hm. I'm interested to see more of Jack's reaction.

Love it! You should have Holly and Jack fall in love

I wish you'd spent more time on their romance, but great job!

I'm caught up!

So far I've enjoyed the story. I like how you address the characters. This chapter was off to a halting start, though. Ella and James's romance accelerated and really left me in the dust. I know you said six months passed, but I didn't get the sense of that from the rest... I'd like to suggest that you try to write another opening to chapter three that shows us more of how long it's been, the effects of what they've been doing. I hope that's helpful, but at any rate, I do hope you update soon. :)

It's pretty good, although I think it can get a little bit too dramatic at certain points. It's good that you gave them all names, although Charisse doesn't seem to really fit the image that I had of his wife, though we all see them differently. Get Chapter 3 up soon.

I like it. It's very sweet, gentle and plausible. Is that corset-helping a hint of something to be? I hope it is. You can't just continue 'Into the Woods' with no romance.
