"How the Other Half Lives" by Ariana Overall Rating: A good read
Reviewer: Anne Langsdorf, reviewed 1997 Rating: A good read
Woo! This is great. Usually I don't like stories that portray Dukat sympathetically, as I think he's too much of an opportunist and a backstabber, but *this*....wow!

Thank you for giving us Dukat-fans a story in which he is living in "inner peace" and happiness with the woman he loves and who loves him, too.

Oh, full marks, Ariana! A thoroughly enjoyable tale. Well done!... You did the mirror Dukat perfectly. All the proper motivations and emotions and behavior. Wonderful. Thanks.

I really did enjoy this immensely. It was a very emotionally packed story that didn't go overboard. You did a fabo job at keeping them balanced, establishing the differences between the two Dukats using very well structured conversations.

I did enjoy it! It gave you a chance to explore many of the mingled feelings in Kira's head - without her being under the pressure of the presence of the "real" Dukat. I have to say though, the mirror, "Mr. Nice Guy" Dukat is a bit of a dull boy.

I liked it. I didn't LOVE it, but I liked it. It was well-written, it was vivid, the characters were appealing, and Kira was written in a way that made me LIKE her, something you do VERY well and which I want to try to emulate... The reason [I didn't love it] was simply this - I didn't get a sense that the alt. Dukat was DUKAT.
