I just submitted chapter 23 today (Dec 27) and it will be up as soon as my beta can validate it :-)

Thanks so much for your encouragement. It means so much to me! 

I don't mean to be pushy, but it's getting agonizing to have to check for an update every day for close to 3 months. Please update soon, or at least give us a date when the next chapter will be up so we can stop getting our hopes up each day to find that it's still not up. Good luck, and thank you!

Author's Response:

Not pushy at all! It's very motivating to know that there are people looking forward to reading more. I'm so sorry that it took me a while to respond to you and that the next chapter is taking FOREVER. My life has just been VERY crazy. BUT I now have a good amount of the next chapter completed and my hope is to have it finished sometime within the next two weeks. Thank you very much for your review!

i love your story, well if u need inspiration you could make rosalie and bella become friends, not friends like she is with alice, but friends. Thanks love it!!! :)

Author's Response:

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my story! And thanks fro the input! There should be some Bella/Rose interactions coming up! 

I just submitted chapter 23, so it should be up as soon as my beta can validate! :-)

I really, really loved your story! I felt that you did an excellent job of keeping the characters the way that SM made them, while at the same time creating a completely unique story line. It was fabulous, you are a wonderful writer! I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Aww, thank you so, so much! And I'm very sorry for my late reply! I have just submitted chapter 23, so it should be up as soon as my beta can validate! :-)

I absolutely love your story. The world that you have created for all of the characters is so intricate and interesting. Keeping true to the books in essence, but depicting a story all it's own. Written with the brilliance and creativity that Stephanie Meyer had brought to the series, your story is truly moving, and provides as a beautiful testiment to the redeeming and awe-inspiring love that exists between Edward and Bella. 

I am not inclined to believe that you have somehow abandoned the story. Everyone should have themselves a hiatus of sorts once in a while, but it seems that the weeks slip away torturously slow lately. i can not wait until your next post and the next chapter in both Edward and Bella's lives as they begin to further mend and heal from the wounds inflicted by Jacob.

Please- spare all of us the agony, and gives us an estimated time as to when you will be posting or at least give us any news of progression that may soothe our walk through the trials of waiting for this next chapter.

With best regards and praise- rrodriguez

I'm sooo sorry that I took so long to respond to you and that the next chapter is taking FOREVER. But please know that your amazingly kind words about my story mean more than I can even say. Life has been very hectic for me these past few months, and I had to put the story on hold for a while. BUT I have not abandoned it, and as of now, I have completed a fair amount of the next chapter, and I can now give an estimate for when I hope to have it finished. I hope to have it finished within the next two weeks (hopefully in less than two weeks).

Thank you so much again for your kind words. Take care,

Lisa 

Please, please please update soon!  I am very interested in this story continuing until the end.  Thank you!!

When do you think you will be able to update.  Can hardly wait!

Author's Response:

You are so amazing for all your reviews! Even though I haven't been very good at responding quickly, they truly help lift my sprits and make me feel like writing more of the story. I can't thank you enough for that. The next chapter is taking forever for me to complete due to lack of time from all my grad school work and also because even when I do find the time to take a break, I feel really stressed and find it difficult to be in the right mindset to write this story. HOWEVER, I have NOT abandoned the story. As of now, I have completed a fair amount of the next chapter, but unfortunately it will probably still take me a few more weeks to complete. But thank you so much for your enthusiasm. It really helps to know there are people looking forward to reading more. 

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

So glad to hear it! So sorry for my late reply. I just submitted the next chapter today (Dec 27), so it will be up as soon as my beta can validate! :-)

I only found out about fanfiction a year ago so I have been scrolling and searching for interesting reading since in reference to the stories with Edward and Bella.  I absolutely loved this and read it in 5 days and I work full time.  This plot line kept me glued and you are an excellent writer and obviously love the Twilight Fandom.  I just turned 50 and have always loved the vampire stories and movies but this turned me upside down with it being such a wonderful love story and I have found myself quite obsessed!!

I am very impressed that you have been able to do this while working on your master's in such a difficult degree.  Please, please, please continue when you have the time and I will continue to check every day.  I just finished with the last chapter around 12:30 am this morning.  Can't wait to see what comes next.  And obviously, I would be considered Team Edward!!

Author's Response:

Fist of all, I'm SOO sorry it took me so long to respond to you! I've just been very overloaded with my thesis work. But I want you to know that your lovely review really means more to me than I can even say. I'm so happy that you found my story and are really enjoying it! And you're right: the Twilight Fandom has touched my heart in many ways!

Ha, ha, yes I WAS doing a fairly good job writing this as well as doing my master's work, but recently I've had to spend more time with my thesis and less time writing this story :(

please update soon

Author's Response:

I'm so sorry it's taking me forever to get the next chapter finished. My thesis stuff it taking up all of my time and I had several unexpected curve balls thrown at me. But I promise that I'm not abandoning this story. I'm working on it when I can. Thanks so much for not forgetting about me! It means a lot :-)
