Mary managed to survive summer camp adventure one,thanks to the intercession of a being more powerful than those dedicated to returning her to the "true" faith. Now she faces an even more potent worldwide foe, still very interested in learning her secrets. |

- This type of response absolutely makes my day! A great deal of effort goes into writing this story and covering all the bases so to speak. Be advised that further adventures of Mary and Agnes are definitely in progress. Thanks again for your generous rating

all your stff is great, you put thought and time into everything you write, wish other did the same
The time and effort you put into your stories show, I would rather read 2-3 great stories but an author then 10 fair ones just because they needed to post it, wny not write to make money?? (10/10)

- My thanks for your very generous review and rating. I do spend a great deal of time trying to make my stories as authentic as possible when it comes to location, no small task I might add. It usually pays dividends.

I'm full of anticipation everytime I find a new chapter of this story and I'm never disappointed after reading it. Although I had read several narrations of whom you are the author (which I learned later), I came to "Mary's Summer Camp Adventure" via your "Martha's Prison Adventures". Both stories have similar structures, and I'm glad that "Mary" is keeping this over-the-top style. (9/10)

- I am delighted that you are enjoying this effort. Reviews such as yours do assist the creation process, such as it is. Be assured that I will do my best to continue to provide material that you enjoy reading. Another couple of chapters are due shortly.

- Looking through your own stories' reviews, I find it very remarkable that you are answering every comment. To know that one's opinion is heard is as motivating for an author as for a reader.

Nice to pull a named character from TV: it immediately provides a visual to go with your descriptions.
Lex, I've run across few of your stories I haven't liked, and this isn't one of them. Fun, occasional silliness, and exaggerations of life help this former Altar Boy appreciate the story. You must have met Sister Mary HolyWater, an old teacher of mine.
Bringing out this tale and breathing new life upon it is great; looking forward to more and more Adventures. (9/10)

- My sincere thanks for your perceptive review and most generous rating. I must admit that the good nuns, mine were aptly from the "Sisters of Mercy" order, certainly made a lasting impact on many of us who passed through their hands, fists, rulers and anything else they used to get and keep our attention.

I would like to start off by saying that this is one of the better stories I have ever come across on this site, and believe me I have read a few. I would also like to thank you for actually finishing th story, not many authors do. I look forward to reading other stories written by you. (9/10)

- Thank you for your most complimentary review and comments concerning this story. This is one of my favorites, and like many of my efforts, it developed its own personality and sort of walked me through to the ending. As for your observation about unfinished stories, most of us are guilty of that charge. I think it has something to do with letting go of one's child, so to speak. On that topic, I should alert you that I have been mulling over the idea of continuing Mary's adventures; in fact I've already outlined it in some detail. Whether it ever sees the light of day is yet to be determined.

Methinks the author's tongue may have worn out the inside of his cheek working on this one. He has sent it way over the top and left a handy string dangling with which to catch it. Bravo. (9/10)

- Your review is much appreciated. As you so adroitly pointed out, over the top can be fun if you know what's on the other side and where the net is located.

I'm enjoying Mary Kate's summer adventures and I'm not even into extreme kind of fiction. I think what I like the best is that no matter what happens to Mary, she completely heals afterwards. If the story is written as a fantazy, why not have some fun with it and imagine the wildest stuff? I like how this story is so way out there, like a horror movie that's fun at the same time? Jason VS Freddy maybe ? It's not serious, it's not lyrical, but it's damn fun to watch. Same for this story.
(7/10)

What fun names and characters! Too bad the freshness stops there. Much of the other vocabulary, e.g., "twat", certainly has been used before. This repetition does not mean such commonness cannot be used again, it is just that with the originality used for characters and characters' names one anticipates a certain consistancy throughout, using something other than "twat" as a noun.<br>For the "spoofiness" alone, this piece does deserve a continuing read.<br><br>As for the cuteness part, and "not doing very well", I was merely attempting to be honest in responding to your piece. BTW, there are many things that I do that are not done "well", including it seems writing Reviews. Regardless, as posted earlier, this story does merit enjoying.
If I can play any part in increasing a rating from an "8" to a "10", as e.e.norcod alleges, than that is most productive, though I do think it mistaken to take any credit. If a story rates a full "10" in someone's mind, then it is the talents of its creator, not some reviewer like me. As for easing up/taking it easy/whatever, that hardly applies to my initial Review which still stands blemishes and complements included. (5/10)

- I wonder how long it took you to write this review? I trust it was time well spent from your perspective, it sure didn't do much for me. Next time stop trying to be "cute", you don't do "cute" very well, and use simple declarative sentences to justify whatever it is you are trying to say.

Awecommmmonn Faibhar, loosen up and have a little fun. I thought this story delightful. You may have thought the theme hackney, I thought that lex was covering the bases and bring out the humor in them.
Obviously the only way to resolve this controversy is for other authors to read this piece and offer their reviews.
I say well done lex, I chuckled all the way through. But then on the other hand I love stories involving Catholic school girls, nuns, mothers and all sorts of interesting c.p. Now you have done it Faibhar, you made me go and change my review from an 8 to a 10. (10/10)

- Another country heard from. My thanks for the glowing review, but to be honest I'd rate it lower than your generous mark. This one will become darker before the dawn, so beware. By the way, Mary Katherine was adopted, or purloined, from a long running character on SNL.
