I feel vaguely sick

Hm. At first I thought that Dib would be the target of a witch hunt, but actually he would be pretty popular in that time period. People tended to take crackpots more seriously, and apparently he's pretty good at what he does.
It would be pretty hard to protect Gaz, though. I like how you make Dib at least try in this fic-though his defenses are a bit weak. Gaz is very witchy.

Interesting...it seems unfair, but you're right, if human stupidity can be unfair to Dib why not Gaz? And it's odd, because in a sense Gaz almost heroic, standing up for her beliefs while Dib would just lie to the court. (Of course, if she had been less stubborn she could have just prayed-that actually WOULD have been good evidence, if I recall one legend about witches in this setting was they couldn't pray correctly.)

I'm just glad Gaz didn't turn around, admit to being a witch...and then accuse Dib. Seems like something she would have done, though from the sound of it that wouldn't have worked in this story.

If I may nitpick: in the first chapter the people are described as carrying crucifixes, but I THINK (not sure) that Puritans wouldn't have that (considering that "too Catholic" or something). And technically Salem didn't burn witches.

Anyway, cool story! :-)

Very interesting idea. I like how you fit Zim and GIR in.

It was.. unusual, but I really liked it.. Completely and utterly original.

This is.. pretty good. It's very original, and you are consistant with the dialoge.. Forgive me if I mispell anything in this review, heh.

I'm actually quite pleased with the first two chaptes. I SHALL READ ON!

To Johan Liebert:

Interesting. Would you please email or PM me so we can discuss this? I am always interested in constructive criticism from someone who sounds like they know what they're talking about.

I can't read your fics. I don't like Gaz THAT much, but it's too one-sided. You're projecting too much of what you want the characters to say and think rather than making it natural.

This was very interesting.

Interesting parallels in this fic. Gaz is the only one who sees things the way they really are. I have to give her credit for sticking to the truth and not accusing other people of being witches to save herself. This is your first sympathetic portrayal of Gaz. The ending seems a bit abrupt, but if you had dragged out the trial and sentence it might have taken away from the main point.

This is very good.I love how you adjusted Zim and Gir's charachters. It is very fitting and you keep everyone in character which is very good. It is also really historicly accurateand is realy good!

Save me from the wee turtles they were too quick for me!

Chilling!

Maybe its Gaz that's crazy?

That was good about the teeth! And Gaz deserved her end, even when she refused help. Typcial Gaz. Some people will never change. She was her own worst enemy.

That was a very captivating ending...and I saw your updated profile. I was hoping to see a little more of how Dib was reacting when the court was shouting, though.

But, a good fic, all in all.

_tere

Gaz lost too many teeth due to her unhealthy eating habits? That's funny. And who knew ghosts had to count grains of sand?

So, she died...that was unexpected. Poor Gaz, I have a feeling she wasn't even a witch. Written well, once again. I can really feel the different atmosphere in this. I'm going to visit your pro. now.

Nicely done story there.

Gaz stuck to her stubborn attitude and refused to accept the paranormal or to even use it to save her life. In the end she paid the price but I feel that Gaz would see it as more of a victory than as a defeat since she held on to her beliefs and therefore to her very soul.

I have to say, I found Dib's way of removing the 'ghosts' very interesting. It would seem that those ghosts were merely the result of normal noises and overactive imaginations. But that does not mean that all the ghosts were.

I have to admit, I was worried that the villagers would accuse Dib of sending ghosts to their village which he would then chase away. You know, that he brought the infestation and then would send it away.

Zim and Gir as Aboriginals, huh? Interesting way of putting them into the stories. I can't help but wonder... Nah.

Anyway, great story. Keep up the good work.
