Reactions and Reviews
I can definitely see why this fic would be considered legendary. Heck, ANY fic Spitfire writes is worthy of being legendary! Learning to Receive is about a negro girl named Porter who is in some deep trouble with Brooklyn and has a lot of dark shadows following her around. She ends up in Manhattan at the lodging house, of course, and is warmly greeted by a host of different characters. Spitfire really knows how to make her storylines and characters interesting and enjoyable. She even changed my mind about Crutchy - a character who I almost despised when I first became a Newsies fan. Now I love him! Spitfire can really turn a simple story into something wonderful, and Learning to Receive is one of her biggest achievements.

One of the absolute best stories/series on the web. Porter is in NYC trying to stay alive on the streets - and away from the cops and her famous cousin.Duck[3]
