Great Chapter! Luv the brittany scheme, good job! :)

[readfah_cwen]

Thank you! I'm glad it all came together. ♥

So, for some reason I didn't get a notif for the last...2, 3? chapters, but did get one for this. So after reading them all, I just have to say... OMG, all of the little offhanded comments about sci-fi/supernatural shows is awesome! Completely aside from the great story, I kept laughing at the different lines, like Blaine's motto (Supernatural!), checking for a mutated swim team. And the FMA movie! I about died when I read that part!

Blaine seriously needs to be a huge geek in canon. This is fantastic.

I love all of the differences in the characters. It's really intriguing to see the characters you love acting...completely opposite.

Oh, & the "Sue is her own evil twin" line cracked me up! (I have a notebook that says that on the cover, actually. ♥)

Welcome back! I'm so glad you're enjoying all the geeky references, because sometimes I worry nobody will get them heh. Especially the FMA one, though the movie is one I think about a lot while I'm writing this. I would love if Blaine was just as geeky, because I would just die if he started referencing this sort of stuff left and right.

All the not-characters are my bbs, I love them to pieces. What would Kurt be without a fear of sex, Finn without his good-heartedness, Brittany with smarts ... they write themselves sometimes, I swear.

Really?! That is so completely and utterly perfect! <3

Thank you so much for these wonderful words darling! ♥

I honestly (& I'm a little ashamed for admitting this, lol) hadn't even thought about the parallel between this & the FMA movie. I say I'm ashamed because I was obsessed with FMA for years, including recently just before discovering Glee this past year. (Another, completely irrelevant parallel; both Blaine & Ed are both short, and get upset when you make fun of them for it <3)

Not only does Brittany have smarts, which in itself would be kind of awesome (like when she joined the Brainiacs), but she's not the loveable, sweet Brittany we know; like Blaine pointed out in the story, Britt's loveable even if she's dumb, & not-Britt is scheming, conniving, and hateful; all the things Brittany's...not.

And of course you know all that already, but the idea of the not-characters really is fascinating. (I love parallel world stories that toy with this kind of idea.)

Ohmygoodness you are so right. Angry little shorties! And there's the traumatic incident that sent them on their way (human transmutation/Sadie Hawkins beat down) and they both have daddy issues! Now I need to write a crossover where they meet, seriously

[may_unleashed]

This is fantastic and so abundant in modern rare sci-fi one-liners, that it seems like a new version of Umberto Eco's writing. Honestly, it's damn entertaining to read and check if you get all the trivia.

Plus, you know, I've come to adore not-Kurt LOL he may be a fantastic promiscuous gay kid, but he still has the heart in the right place.

(now I want him to be in the quest of getting kissing-guys record, and wanting to kiss his other self would be hilarious)

OHH and is it my imagination, or is here a reference to The Devil Went Down to Georgia? 'Cause I think I am falling to identify the trivia of the devil and the hands and the fiddle *sad sigh* Devil's Thrill? No? *pouts*

[readfah_cwen]

Oh my goodness I'm blushing and grinning so much over here! I'm glad people enjoy the references, because I'll just pull them from the depths of my eclectic geeky mind and discover how well they fit.

Not-Kurt does have his heart in the right place, my bb. <3 I always imagined that he would love to get with his other-self, but the whole occupying-the-same-space thing might be a problem (but hey, he's creative!)

It is! I was just going to play with "idle hands are the devil's playthings" and the first thing that popped into my head afterward was The Devil Went Down to Georgia! Also, a little Futurama, since they use the Devil/fiddle thing.

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! ♥

[may_unleashed]

References ftw bb! Blaine is your regular sweet nerd-gleek after all.

Oh and I forgot to say this: I spluttered when FMA and Ed made it into the story. Didn't know if I wanted to giggle or tear up, 'cause damn that story sometimes got to me.

And regarding baby not-Kurt and his quest to flaunt his sexy-self (and Chris Colfer and Single Ladies now sound suspiciously okay in this verse LOL) Yeah, he cannot actually be in the same space-time line as our Kurt, but hell if not-Kurt cannot fantasize aloud about it. Blaine would only be so happily mortified.

Yey for that badass fiddle song! And funny thing, but I like the original better than the Guitar Hero demo. For a moment I also thought "hey it could be Yami No Matsuei reference!" but I guess one manga thing is enough in this mix XDDD

Looking forward to the next chapters!

[readfah_cwen]

FMA was and remains to be one of the best manga I've ever read, and my love affair with it has lasted ... six years or something and they'll be many more. I'm surprised it took so long to get a reference in, but my mind must have decided that Blaine would consume his favourite genres no matter the media.

You know that not-Kurt woulda worn that Single Ladies outfit all around the school, and he would have put on constant performances (and, as Nude Erections are actually cool, peeps definitely loved that.) Not-Kurt is shameless in the best of ways -- he would fantasize out loud. Hell, maybe back when he and Blaine were swapping fantasies on Kurt's bed it came up heh.

I never knew there was a GH demo! I only listen to the original, because it's wonderful. I wouldn't have been able to red YnM though, as I only read like ... the first volume, years ago. Is it good?

I'll be sure to get it up quickly! ♥

"I'm the only devil worshipper in the family. Well, me and Grandma Lucy, but we don't talk about her since she stopped using her hands for a full year just so Satan would possess them, and then he caused her to play the fiddle until her fingers caught fire." Best random line in a story ever and wow was snot expecting this twist. High school makes people crazy!

[readfah_cwen]

I'm glad you enjoyed that line, it made me giggle. High school does make people crazy -- basically, this is the sort of thing those wacky gleeks would get up to if they had the resources (seriously, look back on their stranger plans over the years.)

Thank you! ♥

This is so much fun. But the idea of Kurt locked in a dumpster makes me so sad.

[readfah_cwen]

I know. While Blaine is having wacky adventures, Kurt is suffocating under trash. My poor bb. Thank you! ♥
