Thanks for the positive feedback -- appreciate it!
Yup, this is one of my darker stories in the series. (This applies to a few others such as "The Survivor," "The Blood Brother," and "The Wind" as well, plus "The Gift" and "The Spaceship" have their sad sections.) The puppies were lucky to survive, but they did, as did Corabell, Dorabell, and Mae. Bolt and the others lost their moms, which is sad -- but I tried not to dwell on it. I've got my limits on this kind of stuff, too. Bolt has a tough time of it in this story (plus his life while he's tricked into being a TV actor is hard on him), but he has a lot of great adventures to come and lots of them are happy. I write in lots of styles, and sometimes mix styles as well. As it turns out, I have a lot of humorous fics in the series.
Blaze was a fun character to write for: brash, overconfident, a bit of a hustler, a tad shady, not as smart as he thinks he is. Heck, Bolt was able to free Mittens from the shelter cage in the movie, which is more than his dad could manage. I actually brought the character back in the story "The Cameo," where I fleshed him out more and delineated the difference between him and his son more obviously.
So glad you stopped by -- really glad you enjoyed this!
