Here's your New Blood Contest feedback!
This story was one of my favourites, and I have it in my original notes as "Jam-packed with comedy chaos", without much in the way of negatives. I think that holds up quite well on a second reading, but of course, I do have more to say...
This story is hyper-efficient in the way many Thousand Word Contest stories tend to be, and this is good in that it packs a lot of punch in a small wordcount - but also bad, in that it feels almost too efficient. It's all conspicuously terse and running at a blazing pace that leaves little room to appreciate the great moments.
And great moments there are in abundance, regardless of how little time they're given. It's not quite a for-want-of-a-nail story, but it clearly takes from that tradition, with many interconnecting plot threads weaving "Blue Blood"'s actions in with the events of the Gala.
Overall, despite some fundamental criticisms, this might be the best episode remix story I've seen on the site - and besides that, it was hilarious!
I really enjoyed reading this, and it was a great pleasure to see this in the New Blood Contest. I hope you keep writing, and I look forward to reading more from you in the future!

Thanks for the sneedback. This fic definitely was cut back--perhaps too much--but I'm mostly pleased with how it turned out, and I'm happy others share that view.
