Razorclaw, I found it hard to understand this statement, until I realized
your point of view was impaired.  If you remove your head from your ass,
you may find this fic as good as the rest of us did.

Er, glad you liked it.

I was afraid of that when I started writing this story.  It has been done
countless of times in the past by many other better storytellers.  I have
watched the half dozen different Christmas Carols myself and many of them
twice or more.  I tried to give as much a Nabiki spin as I could, though,
and it looks like I didn't succeed too well.  Some of the dialogue, I've
already been told is not Nabiki-esque, so there will be slight changes in
how she talks.

Worked ok.  Nabiki's dialogue could use a bit of work.

Yeah, will change some of the more un-Nabiki conversations.

True.  Nabiki has a capacity for being very nasty, but I don't think she
could come close to Scrooge.  Another difference in mine to the original.
Scrooge's chance came late in life, I wanted to give Nabiki a chance
earlier on.  Not as effective as the original, but again I waw going for a
different feel.

Oh my.  You mean... it wasn't like the original?  How... odd.

O_o

Anyway, thanks for the comments!
