![]() ![]() ![]() Wonderful addition of Charlie Brown and Lucy's Advice Booth. I've got to admit I'm glad I found this after you decided to pick it up again, because I have a hard time starting stories I don't know will update (I'm sure Calvin would have a lot to say about that). In any case, it's a great story and can't wait to read more. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Getting the notification in my email earlier this week was like Christmas coming early: totally out-of-the-blue and unexpected, and totally awesome! The latest chapter was great (I guess I was not completely sure about the Lucy/Charlie Brown reference ... Maybe because I never felt a romantic connection between those two while reading Penuts myself, but I still enjoyed the story); I can't wait to read what happens next. I really hope i don't have to wait another 3 years to read chapter 10! :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm so glad you decided to continue writing this. And throwing in that Charlie Brown cameo was pretty genius, if I do say so myself. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Really glad to see this going again, it was interesting but I had resigned myself to it being a deadfic. Glad to be proven wrong. I kind of expected Lucy to be someone I knew, but I didn't really figure it out before Charlie showed up. That was kinda funny. You write some pretty clever dialogue, though the wonderings about feelings seem a little unsubtle. Though of course, that might be on purpose to make the denial even more obvious, but still. There is a slight shift in tone between the old chapters and the new ones, not much, but still enough to be a little jarring, especially how everything suddenly seemed completely fine and civilized and Calvin suddenly being proper friends with Junie. It's still a good chapter, but it seems somehow disconnected from the rest of the fic. You might wanna have a look at that, though I don't really have some specific points except the above on what is "wrong". It might be that you're simply a little rusty in writing this particular story. Fun fic, hope you continue it and get really into the style again. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I SEE WUT U DID THERE. And I like it. :) This is an awesome story. Keep it up! I'll be patiently waiting til your next update! :D |
![]() ![]() ![]() Lucy and Calvin could be good friends :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I was delighted to see a new chapter for this. You made my day. Congrats on serving a mission. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I totally love this chapter! It was well worth the wait :) I hope the next one comes out faster, of course, but I won't hold it against if it doesn't ;P Anyway, that Charlie Brown reference was epic and I so never saw it coming. Do you have any other comic cameo's planned? Because that would be awesome! But yeah, great update! Keep up the good work! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is... interesting. Seems like a bit of tone departure from earlier chapters, where they were a bit more antagonistic towards each other. I do like the new roommate, the old one was a bit annoying. But in the last chapter, it seemed like Calvin was still ambivalent about Susie. I suppose the assumption is that they've been tutoring for a while and hence are much more familiar around each other, but even so... Not difficult to see that Susie caught sight of her ex. Should be interesting to see how that plays out. Lucy's cameo was unexpected... at first I thought she was a character from the Once Upon Time show, but the Charlie Brown stuff was more in keeping with the comic section. Slightly jarring cameo, still, but consistent with the theme. Good to hear you're working at writing more original fiction for publishing. I plan to get around to submitting my stories on Amazon someday. |
![]() ![]() ![]() When I saw that this had updated, I freaked out! So glad that you are writing this again! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Actually, some of us do read the writers comments. :) Good to have you writing this again. Has a good blend of could be, might be, and Calvinness. Keep up the good work. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, didn't expect an update of this story, but I'll take it. Great chapter, if a bit short, but I'm excited to see some movement on the only Calvin and Hobbes story I've ever found to be worth the time! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hahaha didn't see Charlie Brown coming! Keep going, you made me happy today just by updating your story! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm happy to see that this story has come back from the dead! I had to go back and reread the entire story before I read the new content, just because it's been so long, and I'm not sorry I had to! One thing I was concerned with as I got to the new chapter was that after such along hiatus is that the new content might not flow as well, but it did. Good work! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hey, it's nice to see you back! I really enjoyed this chapter-the arrival of Lucy and Charlie Brown was a nice surprise, and I'm surprised by how much of this story came back to me despite it being years since I last read a chapter. Hope to keep seeing updates from ya! |
