As much as I enjoy the musical mash-ups on the show, I don't often read prose mash-ups. Glee + another show/story? I didn't think it was my thing.
I don't know how I ended up reading this, then -- possibly the world's most unlikely fusions of Dickens and modern pop culture. I don't care. I just know that you deserve a trophy bigger than Sue's biggest monstrosity for writing a story this FREAKING EPIC.
Your characters are incredibly IN-character. You've mastered the tricky Sue-speak, but you've also got her inner workings sounding exactly right. The supporting cast rings true. And I'll be damned if you didn't make me start caring about what happened somewhere in the the midst of laughing my guts out. (This chapter provides so many examples of that. By the end, I was hurting for Sue and Jean. But at the beginning? At the beginning, I was guffawing over lines like: and dividing up songs not based on self-selected pairs of glee clubbers playing park the beef bus in tuna town with each other, but on which voices actually best fit together.)
While I'll be heartbroken to see this end, I cannot wait for the final part.
