Reaction and Reviews

1993

BLOOD OF THE LAMB worked for me until the very end — somehow the finish didn't quite fit the tone of the rest of the story. Also, I've heard that this story used to be in the Circuit- True or not? [1]

What can you say about a story with this line? "He slapped the doubled leather belt across his palm, shuddering with dread at the thought of reddening his beloved's perfect buttocks." Wonderfully silly! [2]

2004

Why this must be read: besides the fact that you should really read everything by lezlie, because i think it's good for you, like vitamins or tofu? well, just because! ^__^ because it's funny as hell, because it takes all the fanon characteristics of bodie and doyle and turns them on their heads, because her explanation of 'The Game' makes me snort through my nose every time, because you want to read more of this very singular bodie/doyle vision. (i would kill for the bodie AU backstory on this) [3]

I'm howling with laughter, this is incredible. Thanks for sharing! [4]
