Good gosh, this was wonderful. I was excited to read it ever since you posted on Tumblr saying that you were writing a Killjoy Christmas one-shot, and it did not disappoint.
Firstly, your writing style was great and flowed brilliantly. I had no problem reading it. And there were no grammar/spelling/punctuation errors, so FOUR FOR YOU, GLEN COCO.
Anyway. I really liked the tone of the piece- how it was simultaneously sad and hopeful. And I don't know if you meant this (I think I may be reading too much into it), but I got the feeling that the story was about the Killjoys, but it was also a kind of extended metaphor for real life. I mean, I could definitely relate to losing my excitement over Christmas once I hit my teens. And I suppose as people grow up, they lose that kind of naive innocence and happiness they have (like S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, I guess). But yeah, like I said, I read into things too much. xD
This comment is getting long and rambly and pointless, so I'mma leave it here. Splendid job, and Merry Christmas to you too. ;)
