However, with the exception of crunchy conflict resolution, it hits pretty much all the items on the list above. FLFS is wholly and unabashedly written for my wife.

Did you create FLFS's system this way because this is what you wanted, or because you wanted to create a game to suit your wife's desires? I look at your list above, and I must ask.

Which led to her disliking most of the system, yes. FLFS resolution is a one-roll narration-dispensing mechanic. You set quickie stakes, you roll dice, you apply your thematic batteries, and whoever wins gets narration rights until they give them to someone else or another die roll takes them away. One roll takes maybe sixty seconds. It's a quick-bang let's-move-on sort of thing. She had more dice, sure, but she wanted the conflict to be over, not to keep grinding on.

Then again, you're saying the Conflict rules for Dogs didn't work for her, and that led to her not liking anything about it, including the Stakes? But then again, she too always had more dice…

We were playing online, so we did not have the dice out in front of us and easily seen or referenced. To her, it seemed like no matter what she did, there was always more crap piled on to make her lose -- because there were more dice to be spent. She prefers decisive action (see FLFS conflict resolution) and the inability to get a decisive 'win' really rankled. A long story.
