LOl I hate spiders, but thes one I liked. Cute spin on the story ;-) Laura

Omigosh! This was wonderful! Heartwarming, funny, beautifully written. Just perfect. And kudos to LabRat for beta-ing in spite of her aversion, though it's hard to imagine anyone having an aversion to a spider as sweet as Sammy. As far as I'm concerned, he is second only to Charlotte in the pantheon of literature's great spiders.

Thanks so much for a delightful read

hehehe - this was SO sweet!!

Oh that is just precious! I can just imagine the little award ceremonies, it's too cute for words!

And this is *brilliant*. Time on his legs. LOL!

Magnificent little story. I'm grining from ear to ear. ...if I had kids, I'd be in a hurry to read this to them.

There is really an occasion to use this icon!

Oh yes, I also hate spiders, but this is sweet!

Hmmmm. Once my neighbour, my *male* neighbour, asked me to come into his apartment and please get rid of a spider which had made its way there. My neighbour is a great friend, and he has helped me on so many occasions - once, when something major had happened to all my fuses at five in the morning and my apartment was pitch black, I rang his doorbell and the poor man stumbled out of bed, found a flashlight, and through half-slitted eyes he managed to see enough to fix my fuses - oh, well, but I did rescue him from a spider once!!!

Anyway, I loved the spider POV. I sometimes think about how much we take ourselves for granted, how much we take our own situation for granted - well, a spider's POV is as legitimate as any human's. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the biggest fly you ever saw in your life. At least you can tell all your spider buddies about the fly you caught that they wouldn't believe, who unfortunately got away!

"Spin," eh? That's a good pun!



It's been a while since I laughed out loud at a fic on this board, but I did when I read this one! Thank you for your sense of humor and your sensitivity and your imagination. And I liked the "awards in the spider community" part too! I wonder what they were made of?

Since my uncorrected vision allows me to see only colors and moving shapes, I sympathize with Sammy and wonder what an octet of glasses would look like.

LOL. Absolutely! I adored this - very cute. I especially enjoyed the almost fairy tale tone of the narrative. Superman was just adorably sweet to Sammy. There were so many little bits that I loved about this, but Sammy's perspective of the jam jar was inspired and had me chuckling and this, I think, was one of my favourite moments:

Awwwwwwwww.

I loved this, too. Very clever.

This reminds me of the spider that decided he'd use my motorbike as an anchor for his web - which was about 20 ft across. I really hated to have to break it when I needed my bike. Here's a photo of one rather like it - they're about an inch long, and we get a lot of them in my front garden in late summer up to November or so.

Spider photo - don\'t look if you don\'t like them!

Beautiful, lovely and caring.

Nice one!

Awesome! Lara already quoted my favorite lines. So I just have this to say:

Sweet story!

Hehe, Ann said it best It was a cute idea.

See ya,

The adorableness of this is not something I can put into words. It reminds me a bit of that Spiderman movie trailer that they pulled because it had the WTC towers in it. this was darn funny though.
