Alright, I must admit, I love your Bella.  She's quiet and reserved in some ways, but definately strong enough in herself to state the rules AND to fight the pixie over them.  BTW...love the nickname Tink! 

The discussion of Edward being asexual had me laughing out loud.  Thanks, I needed that today!



Author's Response:

Awesome that you enjoyed the nickname!  Yes, this Bella is an interesting mix of strong and frail, and that will definitely affect her relationships with people.  And yeah...Alice believing Edward is asexual really is laughable ;)

Reviewer: manyafandom (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 10:46 AM · On: Torture and Temptation

karma is a bitch. but I loved Bella's instant reaction to Edward. Something so foreign to her,but so normal to us. I also liked how she saw teh effort that Alice was putting into dressing Bella, and how thoughtful she was being.

Loved it!!



Author's Response:

I have definitely found karma to be a bitch...I think you hit upon the important point about Bella's reaction to Edward - thank you! 

Reviewer: lisa89 (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 10:37 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

The pinkie bit was by far my favourite, that was absolutely adorable, and I think everyone can relate. :)

Nice work!

Author's Response:

So glad you liked the pinkie flirting ;)  Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: karentwilighted (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 10:31 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

You know this is my absolute favorite story. Every little word you write seems to add so much depth to their characters.

Edward, nervous, feeling girly and so wanting to do everything just right. Not used to having to work at all I'm sure (who wouldn't throw themselves at his feet?) but willing to work for her, even though it's going to require more work just to be her friend than he's ever expended before.

And Bella, trying, putting herself out there. Even if it's just sending an email to a guy. It's big for her. And Edward seems to get that it's big - or at least her small gesture that is big for her is equally important to him. As difficult as it would be for her to put herself forward, he's thrilled with a simple email. A man who's used to easily obtainable one night stands. 

And holding pinkies? Like last chapter with the shaking hand brushing against her face - he realizes that these simple gestures are such huge steps for her. And he takes them as such. Rather than seeing them as insignificant or seeing them as steps toward more, he's thrilled that she reaches out for him, even if it is to simply brush his finger. He seems to realize that she doesn't touch men and that even this simple touch is significant to her and takes it as such.

I understand why the photos are important - the progression from happy and carefree to melancholy, introducing Jessica so that Edward, Alice and the readers all wonder what really happened, and seeing Bella looking expressionless and broken with her guys protective around her. As much as I see the ease the photo gave for showing all that, I'm suprised Bella would allow her photos to be looked at, especially with Edward there. That Jasper wouldn't have said no to Alice. As uncomfortable as Bella gets I'm just suprised she didn't say no. But it shocked me - in a pleasant way - that she sat through the pictures when she looked awful, let herself look vulnerable curled up and with an espcaping tear, didn't freak when Alice asked if that was "after . . ." not knowing how Alice would end it. It seemed huge progress to sit through all that especially with a man she likes sittin right up against her.

Wonderful as always. You are truly talented.



Author's Response:

Oh...all I can say is WOW!  Thank you so much for that amazing compliment.

You're right - Edward's never really had to work before.  At all.  So this is new for him, but he obviously thinks Bella is worth it.

I'm really glad that the steps for Bella are coming across as important as they are meant to be.  She's struggling with this, and it means a lot that not only Edward but you see that as well.  The touching is really a sticking point for them both, so I'm really happy to hear that their small advances there are satisfying :)

As far as the photos go...all I will say is that yes, Alice knew what was in them.  And she wasn't working alone.  Alice and Jasper know that Bella is stronger than she thinks she is.  They weren't trying to be cruel, but they are trying to get her to open up a bit more in ways they think she can handle.  And yes, it's painful and messy - just as Jasper knew it would be - but it brings her a step closer to what she wants.

Again, thank you for reading and reviewing - your comments mean a lot to me.

You must be a cook, and a talented one at that.  (I must admit that reading Bella prepare dinner, I felt a bit like Bella listening to Alice talk about fashion...a little out of it.  But now I have new foods to go look up! 

I very much like the casual relationship you have so easily established between Jasper and Bella, the story of how they met is priceless!!!!  Definately a story to Jasper's children and grandchildren (when he has them of course!)! 

I look forward to learning what happened to Bella and how exactly Jasper has learned to deal with her and help her to deal with her past. 

I'm looking forward to going on to read the next chapter!



Author's Response:

I do like to cook, actually, but I don't get a lot of time.  The Indian food, though, was because I absolutely love Indian.  Yum.

I'm glad you like the relationship between Jasper and Bella, and it's good to hear that I'm building it well.  I hope you continue to enjoy it!  And thank you for reading and reviewing :)

Reviewer: xoTinyxo (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 10:22 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

ur killin me!!! I  need to know what happened!! LoL ... I loved the chapter though.  I like how Edward & Bella are starting to feel more comfortable around eachother :0)



Author's Response:

LOL I promise it's not my intention to kill you...I would hate to lose a great reader and reviewer ;)  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.  And I swear that Bella will be telling her story soon - but remember that "soon" means chronologically in the story - so that will take a bit longer to get to, as time passes more quickly there than it does with me updating :P

Reviewer: manyafandom (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 10:08 AM · On: Pixie Promises

So I think I kinda love this Edward. He's not a prude per se but more selective and wanting to wait for the right girl. Loved his description of her btw.

This is very funny and I love the way you are writing it. Can't wait to see what happens next.



Author's Response:

:)  Yes, this Edward is far from a prude...which means he'll have some interesting experience when or if things reach that point with Bella.  I'm so glad you loved the description of the perfect girl!  He doesn't want a lot or anything...

Thank you so much for the compliments and for reading and reviewing.

Reviewer: manyafandom (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 09:17 AM · On: Meeting Alice

Hmmm...I wonder what happened to Bella.  I am sure all will be revealed eventually. Loving this so far. And I too feel that Jasper and Alice perfectly represent the ying-yang concept. Complimenting and contrasting each other.



Author's Response:

Oh, wow...okay, so this may not be the place to do it, but I was excited to see your name come up because I absolutely LOVE "All I Ever Knew" - that story is brilliant.  I am in love with both your boys (well, all three, really...)

I'm glad you appreciated the yin-yang concept with Jasper and Alice, and I hope you continue to enjoy this :)  Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: Jime (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 09:00 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

 

 I long for Edward to help her find that happiness again as well. Wonderful chapter, I love the small steps they are taking, locking pinkies is like hitting 3rd base in Bella’s book, I am proud of her :)



Author's Response:

LOL Great comparison!  You're right - this was a HUGE step for Bella.  I'm so happy that you're proud of her...I have to admit that I am too.  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing :)

Reviewer: noel presh (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 07:41 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

This chapter! A perfect mix of everything! Glasses, games, smores, the pinkie touching!!!, the further glimpse into Bella's past...which brings me to the conclusion that Alice must be a very plotting little schemester....that pajama party...and then it's like she knew what was in that photo album. Gah! Loved it (as always)!



Author's Response:

Alice is indeed a very plotting little schemester...and she did, in fact, know what was in the photo album.  Pixies don't always work alone... ;)

Thank you so much for the sweet comments!

Reviewer: ColiCullen (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 07:33 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

Oh such a good chapter.  What a great mix of happy and sad.  I love this story and hate when a chapter ends!  Keep em coming!  :)



Author's Response:

Oh, thank you!  It's great to hear that you hate when a chapter ends :)  I will be updating soon; don't worry.

Reviewer: Twitterpatted (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 07:27 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

I so love this story and I hope that her past comes to light really soon.  BPOV must be intense.



Author's Response:

BPOV is pretty intense to write...and she'll be coming up soon, but Edward gets one more round first ;)  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: desirardent (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 06:52 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

Um... holy crap, I think I'm actually Edward in this scenario....

I once had a "date" of sorts that consisted of me being taught about WoW and introduced to a large portion of the first season of Fullmetal Alchemist (which is actually really good).... it was a lot of fun. :) lol.

Y'know, I really think this might be my favorite story right now. And I so badly want to know what happened to Bella!



Author's Response:

Hehe, sounds like a fun date ;)  Hopefully Edward will enjoy it as well (I have a feeling he might...)

It's so awesome to hear that this might be your favorite story!  *blush*  Thank you for that :)

Reviewer: ThreeAM (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 06:43 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

I love how you've worked in some of the backstory through the photo album.  That's brilliant.  Very intriguing details, too.  Jessica?  Can't wait to find out what's up with her.  The EPOV was just great.  I like when he wants to mess people up.  And I like when he worries about his masculinity in silly ways (like the pjs).  It's an endearing combination you've created here.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!  I'm glad you enjoyed the photo album...and I know the details are trickling slowly.  Bella will tell her story soon-ish, I promise.  Jessica is an integral part of the history of Bella and Jasper, and her involvment will absolutely be explained.  *grins* I like the thought of Edward messing people up too - I'm happy that you enjoy his little insecurities too!

Reviewer: smisa (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 06:24 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

i love the innocent touching.  it's a very sweet beginning.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!

Reviewer: missloonylovegood (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 05:44 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

Poor Bella! Jesus I want to kill that bastard, too!

 

I take it Jessica had a crush on Jazz? Why don't they talk with her anymore? Tell me mooooore!



Author's Response:

Good!  To paraphrase Jacob, hate and violence is a good, passionate response ;)

Don't worry...Jessica will be fully explained.  Pinkie swear.

Reviewer: Shug (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 05:43 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

LOVE this chapter!  Pinkie progress -- perfect title for this chapter.  That part just makes my heart melt.  It's just so very sweet and was just the perfect way for Bella to express her feelings to Edwards. *happy sigh*  I love how he pays attention to everything about her -- it really shows the reader just how interested in her he really is.  Lovely!  And the scene with the photo albums ... my heart broke for Bella right along with Edward's.  I hope he can help her find that happiness again, too.

 

And before I forget ... LOVE the image of him in glasses.  *swoons*  That whole scene with him trying to decide what to wear -- especially the part where he considers calling Emmett -- had me grinning from ear to ear. 

 

Fabulous chapter!  Looking forward to more, as always. :)



Author's Response:

*smiles* I'm glad you enjoyed the little pinkie flirting...I have to admit it made me melt just a little bit too.  It means a lot that you liked the photo albums as well - let's just say Alice was being a little...tricksy there too.

I'm a sucker for "nerdy" Edward in glasses.  I'm swooning with ya.  I love that you found his getting ready funny too - awesome :)

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: Clancy67 (Signed) · Date: March 19, 2009 05:31 AM · On: Pinkie Progress

Great chapter, I noticed I was practically holding my breath towards the end! I'm so glad that Bella and Edward had their brief pinkie holding moment, it was perfect - just a little gesture that said so much. I just adore this story!



Author's Response:

Oh, awesome!  Thank you so much for telling me you were holding your breath - fantastic ;)  And thank you for reading and reviewing...I'm really glad you're enjoying it.

Reviewer: jilburfm (Signed) · Date: March 17, 2009 07:42 AM · On: Tentative Touches

I can't wait until Jasper give Edward a ring tone.  :-)  Divynyls? 

I really like that Jasper and Alice are working things to E&B's benefit.  Especially that Jasper told Bella that Edward was really excited for the dinner.  Bella needs to hear stuff like that.  A lot.  And he knows it. 

Love that Bella catches on that Edward picked up on her not wanting to be followed fear and that she likes it.  I think it could have had potential to upset her and make her feel like a freak or something, so I was happy to see that she thought it sweet.

I get a kick out of all the times Edward gets jealous of Bella's relationships with Jasper and now with "the gang".  It will make the pre-Thanksgiving visit very interesting.  I'm hoping there will be a few more chapters before we get to that testosterone fest / pissing contest over Bella. 

The couch footsie, shin grabbing, thumb rubbing, finger/cheek grazing  - all win.

I'm so bummed that I'm all caught up:-( 



Author's Response:

Hehe, Edward's ringtone is definitely coming...

Jasper and Alice are a tricksy little pair.  And they know their friends/sibling well.  Thankfully, they use their powers for good.

I'm glad you're enjoying the interactions between Bella and Edward.  Bella considered being upset that Edward noticed she didn't like to be followed...but in the end, she realized it was a good thing he's paying so much attention - and the fact that he's acting to make her more comfortable means he cares on some level.

Don't worry...chapter 11 is coming soon - I promise ;)  I'm hoping for tonight or tomorrow.

Reviewer: jilburfm (Signed) · Date: March 17, 2009 02:20 AM · On: Heresy

fuck, this is so sad.  and what a roller coaster - I was laughing throughout the chapter over her internal dialogue, especially when the voices went mute, and now I'm all sad and crap and have to finish getting ready for work.

damn. 

 



Author's Response:

Aww...I'm sorry you have to go to work feeling sad :(  But I have to admit that I'm glad it was moving.  Hopefully chapter 10 will make you feel a bit better ;)

Reviewer: jackbauer (Signed) · Date: March 16, 2009 06:24 PM · On: Tentative Touches

I'm loving the story so far.  Alice is a nice combination of the over the top shopping pushy girl that people sometimes love to hate and a caring giving loving person.  For some reason I'm having trouble picturing Jasper as Jasper - I need to work on that.  I love the tension you've got building here, and I can't wait for more! 



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and reviewing!  Hopefully Jasper will seem more like Jasper to you as we go :)  I'm glad you're enjoying Alice and the tension...chapter 11 should be coming soon, and there will be a bit more tension building there.

Reviewer: jilburfm (Signed) · Date: March 16, 2009 03:41 PM · On: Air and Angels

More Edward and Emmett win.  I always wanted more of them together in the books, especially after reading the outtake on SM's website.  One of the (many) things I was looking forward to in MS was the weekend where Edward and Emmett go hunting and Edward drives Emmett crazy with all his worrying over Bella.  I thought it was going to be hilarious.  And it ended up being like a couple of pages and Emmett didn't seem annoyed at all.  Such a bummer... Anyhoo...

The use of the poem to both help Edward realize the man he wants to be (back then) and then to relize the love he has for her now was great. 

Emmett calling him out for the x-men tee was fantastic:-)

 

?  Dr. Crafton was Edward's Brit Lit professor?  Wasn't that the same professor who kept Jasper late on non-date movie night?  I need to go look.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the great comments about Edward and Emmett.  I agree with you about the possibilities for those two - I was really looking forward to it as well. 

I'm glad you like the poem - it (obviously?) holds a special place in my heart, and it seemed more than appropriate for Edward's moral dilemma.

Emmett rules.  I love him.

Yes, you're right...though that was not intentional.  Wires in my brain were apparently crossed, because Drs. Crafton and Hendricks are English profs of Bella's, and Jasper's should've been Dr. Goodson.  I hate when my brain takes a vacation...
