Lasso of Time

i liked the loop where gina said "it's morbin' time!" and morbed all over the train robbers

Okay, thanks to RK I got the real ending. Very nice. Now I am complete.

This as amusing, and each "ending" had enough entertainment to keep me wondering what would happen with the next version of the loop. I went through a few endings, including the normal one and the good one. I kind of figure old Georgie would have been most happy with an ending with Clyde, but alas, that kind of love is never meant to last.

Also, this title: "My first kiss went a little like this."

Lol at some point you should probably tell everyone about that.


My only real complaint here is that I can imagine someone getting frustrated being stuck in the loops, feeling a bit too much like the protagonist. So maybe at some point you should build in an exit ramp in case someone is tired of it. Although I can't imagine why they would be. Who doesn't want to commit unspeakable actions knowing it won't matter in the morning, when time is reset?

Let me doff my 1800s cap to you, Orange. This was a lot of fun.

An excellent entry! The plot twist and reveal of the true cause of the time loop caught me by surprise. The story itself is very well-written.

I guess my only complaint is that I find it a little hard to relate to Georgina. I suppose that makes sense considering what she's been put through. But I still kind of wish that I could've met her before the loops began.

Overall, it was a great story. It's rare to get a satisfying explanation to time shenanigans in such stories so this was pretty refreshing.

I couldn't find the true end, sadly enough. I'm assuming in it she figures out it was Hale behind the loop.
I really enjoyed this, I have no problems with it. 8/8.

I did not expect the twist at the end.

I really loved this story! And I love stories where the core conceit is breaking out of a time loop, and this story did in quite an original and fascinating way.

I wish I could read this again, but have no memory of doing so the first time.

Wait. No....
