I think the blend of humor and horror actually is not that much of a problem. When I am scared or stressed I tend to resort to humor, but without being there it does feel jarring. Also it works way better in a British Humour-esque visual medium.<br /><br />I have to disagree about the abruptness of the ending though. I felt it was like a Hail Mary pass, wins the game all of a sudden. Everyone cheers, noone complains it was abrupt. So why here?DPV111https://www.blogger.com/profile/01437920503784386649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-20372382894031956552013-09-10T14:56:00.295-05:002013-09-10T14:56:00.295-05:00Only one of these comments is about the fic or the...Only one of these comments is about the fic or the review.

And then morning is awful, and I drag through the day. So it goes.

Too...I'm mostly nocturnal when I can manage it. Too many American friends who themselves work late. All the fun seems to happen at night. The price is that since I still have college and other such things, my sleep schedule is erratic to say the least. Sometimes I get by on two or three hours just fine, but every once in a while, I need to sleep for half the day before I'm willing to crawl out again.<br /><br />Though, like Present Perfect said, sleep is always good for another reason. Almost every story I ever wrote was at least partially inspired by nightmares.DannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-39112672376153232452013-09-09T09:01:05.582-05:002013-09-09T09:01:05.582-05:00Forgot to comment on the sleep thing.

Since college, I've needed about eight hours a night, though sometimes I can get away with six.

That motherfucker had a whole <i>four extra hours every day</i> for getting things done. :| Me, I have to stick to a regular eight a night to regular a heart condition. Life ain't fair.<br /><br />And yet, as much as I've always wanted to reduce my sleep needs to say, maybe an hour or two a night at most (because dreams, let's face it, are ample fodder for the creative mind), I fear I would just squander the extra waking time. :/Present Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195959811544391904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-75585197008963478892013-09-09T00:25:25.129-05:002013-09-09T00:25:25.129-05:00I immediately bookmarked this fic after it got on ...I immediately bookmarked this fic after it got on EqD, but didn't get around to it until recently. My impression was similar to yours, and 3-stars is about what I would've given it. I'll add that it felt somewhat of a chore to read certain sections, though I've thought the same about so many stories lately that I'm wondering if I've grown less patient with age (I can't put up with the grind in Pokémon anymore either)Holly Oatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703437987958922954noreply@blogger.com
