I really, really liked this. Mostly because I thought your Rachel was interestingly flawed in that selfish way she is on the show. Most people kind of tone down that aspect of her personality in stories because it can be unattractive, but that part of her is a large reason why she is who she is, so leaving it out is sort of doing her character a disservice.

Anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for writing.

Thank you!
I was afraid while writing it that people would hate her being like that, but I was watching the first 2 episodes while writing (the line with an asterisk at the end is actually from her speech in the first episode) and she is like that, it's just her.

So very happy you liked it!

LOVED this! Adored the characterization of Rachel. I tend to enjoy it when fic writers remember just how self-involved Rachel really is. Sure she has tons of great qualities, but this girl has an ego the size of Ohio too. That's why her and Puck are so perfect for each other. LOL!

Also I giggled over the fact that her dress was Gaga inspired. Hee! So Rachel!

She's not even so bad, she just knows who she is and what she deserves, and she goes after it - and when she decides that's Puck, I think we can all understand. ;-)

And she wouldn't go for the romantic floor-length dress, there will be plenty enough occasions for one of those on red carpets. At her prom, she needs to pop!

You have no idea how happy it makes me when you like a story of mine, given I believe you can write so wrong.

Thank you! ♥♥

OMG! OMfreakinG!!
Just realized I typed "so" instead of "No"! you can write NO wrong!!

I'm so sorry, hope you were able to understand what I meant and not what I wrote, oh my, oh my, I'm so ashamed.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!

This is part of the reason I love Rachel, because she's doesn't want normal and ordinary. I love how that's such a big part of this story. Loved it!!!

Thank you!
I agree, making Rachel want to fit in is like making Puck a really good boy - it takes away the whole reason why we love them so much in the first place.
