Description

What happens when a typical Christmas story is repeated over and over again with only one guide?

What if this time, things went wrong?

Amber is no stranger to the story of the Nutcracker. When she gets into the story herself, all she wants is to return home as soon as possible. This creates confusion and frustration in the eyes of the storyteller, who desperately tries to put the story back on track. Can Amber return home without causing too much detriment to the classic story we all grew up hearing?

Chapter 14: First of all, my abundant apologies for getting to this so very late. I think I honestly stopped visiting the site shortly after the contest and yeah... That's no excuse and I'm back now (for now anyway) so here goes!

I really did enjoy this. It was certainly unique and you made me laugh more often than I anticipated. Punching the Mouse King in the nose was hilarious. XD And I was additionally delighted by all the characters you used. It was fun seeing familiar faces and discovering how they were all connected. heh The intermissions were a neat touch as well and I like the idea of a storyteller trying to keep things on track and then eventually having to give up in favor of a new alternative. Quite amusing, I assure you.

I also found myself wanting for more details or more information, but the very lack of those bits and pieces made the story move quite quickly. Not a bad thing in this case. It was like a roller coaster ride where the build up is the trip to the top and then it doesn't stop until you get back to the station. The time jumps were nice too and that also carried the story forward without having to spend too much time on detail and description.

I felt a little bit bad for Yongguk (and Amber) at the very end there, but then he called his 'friend' and all was well again. haha Touche and well done. Thank you again for writing this and once more, I'm so very sorry it took me this long to read and respond. I do believe this is my first Hakyeon and Amber story and I'm quite happy with it. :D
