A very clever chapter! I always enjoy the way you set up Rumpel's deals with their "fine print." I also got a chuckle out of your one-liners like "playing the species card." (Sadly, your conniving politicians really are all-too-realistic! Here in New York we have had SO many headlines lately about various politicians embezzling, or making back-room deals, or setting up phony charities, etc.)

(raises eyebrow) A bit much... I guess I am just not one to revel in that sort of dramatic glee. I guess that you'll be getting back to Fiona soon enough. -jwb-

Wow. Including this one I have only read two of your stories, but have come to the conclusion you have a talent rarely seen in Shrek fanfics.
And I found the "Good to know" part entertaining for some reason.

I really like the bonding between Moyre and Groyle and Fiona. They're so sweet and understanding. Fiona's chess game/debate with herself was very well done. I also like how Fiona is more "ogre" inside even when in her human form, loving ogre food and drinks, reminiscent of the first movie.
And "Fifty Shades of Green"! ROFL!

I really enjoyed this chapter. I know that your story and title hint at this ending before Shrek arrives, but I'm hoping that you'll continue in Fiona's point of view up until the scene in the credits; otherwise your story may feel incomplete to me. Will we see Donkey again before he starts hanging out with witches? -jwb-

Wonderful update. I love your detail. The black/white chess section was also very well executed. These are very much the same ogres from your previous story, but in a completely different universe. I'm excited to see how their relationship with Fiona turns out.

It's always such a treat to get to read this when a new chapter comes out. Thank you for sticking with it. I liked that you added a hint of tragedy for Shrek's parents that he wasn't born it's a fully fleshed out story that hints that there's more going on than what's on the page, like all great stories do. Quite frankly I think your talent is wasted on fan fiction, not that I'd want you to stop of course!

I really love Moyre and Groyl, they are GREAT characters!
I like the eerieness that she was pregnant with Shrek, and then just...wasn't. It's cool how you extrapolate all these additional details and consequences of Shrek's deal with Rumpelstiltskin.

Well worth the wait. I was hoping you'd use Shrek's parents that you've already created, as they are just perfect. I love your expanded universe characters and how each story brings them back and further expands upon them. How you approached Shrek's not being born was moving. Great chapter.

Yes! You updated, and it was great. I was wondering how she was going to get out of that mess considering she turns human during the day, but that clears it up.

What I love about your stories is that you tackle what happens in between the movies as well as what other characters go through while the movies follow someone else's action. It's those little details and the possibilities that have always intrigued me, at least, and it's awesome to find an author that does just that, and so skillfully too.
This chapter was so jam-packed, I loved it! The dream sequence was a nice touch as well. And I love how you've integrated Shrek's parents from your other story - can't wait to see how things turn out with that. :)

This story is great. Peope are always asking waht about this, that, and the other thing when they watch Shrek Four (which is kind of annoying) and you've done a good job of explaining things.

I really like this twist! Meeting Shrek's dad as her introduction to the world of ogres! I like that she still has her anti-ogre prejudice, even though she IS one half the time, since she'd been taught that her curse was a terrible thing and it was horrible to spend any time at all as such a disgusting monster. You're really great at not just showing specific incidents that lead to Fiona's situation in the movie, but all the character development she goes through to get there. Great chapter!
