Yes, it's me again here to teach you how to suck eggs! Actually, I thought it was very good, better than the original. You have had to stick with the crude names for the girls, for obvious reasons, but you have subtly steered away from the grosser aspects of Kidnapped Kirstin. I like the idea of Higher Education for the slaves, perhaps some of the others will join Kirstin, and they will be called by their numbers, which would be humiliating enough. I noticed that the personal pronouns slipped in gradually without correction. When Kirstin graduates and is sold, I imagine that she and the other slaves will be eager to go to for the highest price.
...for your usual thorough critique. It is a gift to hear from people who notice every detail as though they were in the room. Or wish they were!
I really enjoyed your effort of carrying with the storyline, it has more than kept the flavour of the original. I can't wait for the next chapter. Well done
Thank you for continuing the story. It has great possibilities and you nourished it well. I can so understand the mixed feelings Kristin (doll) has. A minor remark. In the original story, the slaves' new names do not start with a capital, in your version they do. Very curious to the continuance.
You are right. The orig used lower case, prob to emphasize their lowly status. I sent a preview to 3 fans, and 2 thought it was confusing, so I did a 'find and replace' on the names. Good catch!
but we have a new 48 Hours story about to go in the pipeline, so it will be several weeks.
Where do I find Sarpedom or "Kidnapped Kristin,"
