The Music Man - I liked this okay during, but the end let all the air out of it. It just stopped. I haven't read a fic in a while that felt so strongly like the person had stopped as soon as they achieved the minimum word count.

The Philadelphia Story - I liked this a lot! I was impressed with how well the author captured the voices, and I thought the prose was good, too. It felt a little unbalanced though - I wanted as much with Mike as without Mike, or else I wanted the post-canon stuff left out altogether. Alternatively, I think I would have taken out the middle section - it didn't feel like it added anything, thematically, and I kind of got lost in the whole priestess/vestal virgin metaphor.

Singin' in the Rain - This fic was mostly about the logistics of having a poly relationship while working in Hollywood in the late 20s/early 30s, which is just not what I want from my shipfic. It didn't do a lot for me.

White Christmas - This was cute! Not ambitious, but did what it tried to do. Good voices.
