The title of this story–a slight play on a song title that has been used for several hanfics–grabbed me the very first time I saw it. I watched and hoped that Tiny Dancer Dust would be completed, finally deciding to read it anyway.

Don’t be thrown off by the chapter count; it appears the author didn’t quite understand how Wattpad formats multi-chapter stories. Although it is still incomplete, Tiny Dancer Dust actually consists of eleven chapters, in which quite a bit happens. None of it is all that unusual–not even Bliss’s job as a stripper or her abusive past–but there’s something to be said for certain tropes, and cheating Zac is one of them.

While the basic concept is nothing terribly unique, and Anonymous Lucy does gloss over a few scenes that I think could use a bit more buildup, there’s everything necessary for a decent plot here. It’s only the writing, which slips into highly informal territory and has some serious punctuation issues, that holds Tiny Dancer Dust back from being all that it could be, even in its incomplete state.
