I'm not a huge fan of Quinn's, mostly because I absolutely hate what she did to Puck (and Finn, but to a lesser extent, because he's even lower on my fav character list than Quinn). But this fic so deliciously bitchy and Quinn that it's making me like her just that little bit more.

Huge props for nailing every single character you included in this - I can visualise this entire thing so easily, it's almost like a future-ep of Glee. Most especially Artie. Despite everything the popular kids did to him pre-Glee, he still has no qualms about telling her how it is.

Oh man the Quinn hate in the reviews below makes me sad. BUT I'M QUINN DO THEY HATE ME? Oh wait...that's not real. LOL. Anyway, I wanted to give this a proper review other than going on and on about how much I love you...AND I DO BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST EVER

I'm actually, admittedly, not a huge Quinn fan. I've warmed up to her, but I still am very apprehensive about her. Few writers can manage her in a way I love (une_fille being one of those. I ADORE her Quinn) because I think there should always be a bit of bitchiness (she IS one, after all. I mean, "Treasure Trail" ? lol, but mean.) but still have that drive behind it cause I think she does have more layers.

Thanks for the compliment on my Kurt. I was really really nervous about him. =)

It was fun writing a ship that I didn't particularly follow (I'm an F/Q shipper, sorry!), it was definitely a challenge. I'm glad I was able to meet your expectations cause I would have hated to let you down! I'm glad you like it. =)

I was wondering if those were subtle Finn/Quinn hints I was picking up on. :)

[unequivocally]

Those definitely WERE!

Haha, and it's funny, when I wrote this, I wasn't that big a Quinn fan at all... but I've recently re-watched the episodes and I've been writing a Quinn/Finn fic and now I'm in ~love~ with the girl!

Great story, I loved your portrayal of Quinn. I also really liked how you inserted the little things too that add such depth to a story. Like Quinn watching Deadliest Catch, or the fact that Rachel and Puck were not making out. Great story!

God, Quinn is just a mean girl. What a bitch! You write her so well.

I have this ginormous love/hate relationship with her because I hate what she did to Finn and to Puck and because I hate how she treats Rachel but there are moments when I just want to snuggle her.

"Maybe I don't know you, Quinn," he says, eying her as he starts to roll backwards, "but if I don't, it's only because you never let any of us in." SO TRUE. She's got this rep, and that includes being the HBIC, and that definitely does not include making friends. I don't think she even knows how to let people in.

Awesome job!
