This was just wonderful to me. So much fun. The lines I just loved loved loved: I "f her magic didn’t work a bullet between the eyes usually did the trick. Of course if she did happen to miss she’d still be able to beat any attacker to death with the heavy pistol."
And about the "Mob": "She could deal with most things by herself; but it was traditional and it encouraged community spirit."
Brilliant! I like the story of Little Red Riding Hood. And I've heard of how it has a warning of the saying called "stranger danger", which I understand very well.
Anyway, awesome job writing this! It's really neat. Keep up your creative, very brilliant and ingenious writing! :)

Yes, Little Red... was fun to write. Thinking up the awful German names.
I like fairy tales, they often pop up in my fics- see Goldilocks and the Three Bears in my fic 'The Slayer of Verona' for example. There's also various FT's in my 'Buff Barbarian...' series.
Thank-you very much for your kind review.

That was pretty funny. I'm not sure whether I liked Johan and the town dominatrix, Willow in the dirndl, or the 'angry' mob the most, but they were all great.

Glad you enjoyed.

I happened to watch the Princess Bride last night and suddenly realized your story would fit perfectly into the PB universe. Now I am wondering if W&K just might run into The Other Wesley, Buttercup, or even Prince Humperdink some day. If they run into PH, having a friendly Angry Mob along might actually be quite nice. Lol!

I think I saw TPB years and years ago, when I was in Germany which would make it the 70's (but I could be wrong) and my recollection of it is hazy to say the least and possibly mixed up with other films. However, we may get a chance to look into this once I've finish writing all the other stories I've got planned...that'll be in about 2012! You never know it might give me something to do while I'm trying to ignore the Olympics!!!
Cheers, DaveT.

Ohh, it's a wonderful story. I liked it starting from the setting ending to the characterization.
The best part was the description of the "Angry Mob". When I read that I was laughing so hard I almost chocked on my coffee I was.
"The ‘Angry Mob’ stood around chatting amiably with their pitch forks and torches stacked neatly against the wall of Kennedy and Willow’s house.
...
With cries of alarm the ‘Mob’ reached for their weapons and started to gesticulate and try out a few angry cries. Kennedy didn’t really need the help of an Angry Mob, even the rather good natured one that had assembled outside her house. She could deal with most things by herself; but it was traditional and it encouraged community spirit."
I really, really like your Angry Mob, enough that I'd join in if I could.

Thank-you the 'Angry Mob' was one of my favourites too.
You keep saying 'lightening' when you mean 'lightning'. *Inigo Montoya* "I do not think it means what you think it means." */Inigo Montoya*
Am I a bad person for having hoped that Willow's gun would fail to fire and that Kennedy and the mob would arrive too late?
Comments from author:
I'll check back on that probably a slip of the finger.
And yes you are a bad person for thinking that...shame on you...no really, shame.
You know I've been thinking about Hansel and Gretal, did you read about the school play where H&G got arrested for antisocial behavior? Now that has possibilities!
Now THAT was a fractured fairytale. I'm just not sure what to write about your bizarre and funny story. I enjoyed it, but I just have to ask one question. Were you on drugs when you wrote this? Just wondering, but if you were, it must have been some good s**t. Lol!
Comments from author:
No this all came out of my drug and alcohol free mind...which in a way makes it more worrying!
Cheers, DaveT.

Very funny little story. You should do more from the Brothers Grimm.
Comments from author:
Generally I sometimes put a fairytale in as part of a longer story (eg, Slayer of Verona for Goldilocks and the Three Bears). But this one sort of wanted to be a stand alone story. I shall see how the muse takes me.

Ah, the joys of living in the bavarian country: good ales, good sausages and good dominatrixes. And yeah, there's the ocassional troll & wannabe pimp talking wolfs, but nothing that a good shooter, an slayer or a polite angry mob can solve =).
Waay too funny one shot, and thanks for the christmas gift mate =). See ya!!!
