Just added this story to favorites =).    I love how open and honest they are with each other. 

Author's Response:

I find open honesty to be sadly lacking in most romance fiction. Characters also seem to start out as impressively clever, witty, and intelligent. This characterization is usually followed by horribly idiotic decisions that never seem to make sense to me. Why characterize someone as well-put together and then have them make Caption Moron choices?

I love this story :)

Author's Response:

I love that you love this story;)

okay-I usually wait to review but I have to go and take my kid to middle school registration for the first time.  So, I have moved this to my favorites and will return to finish it.  But, so far, I LOVE it-the two characters are so funny.  I really am enjoying their "therapy"!!

Author's Response:

This premise almost makes me wish I had a sexual disorder so I could have some therapy too;) Any excuse to get more nookie!

I like how measured and careful Edward is with Bella, but he's also totally honest and he sounds like a guy who would put a smile on my face even as a friend, because he's so warm and funny.

Author's Response:

I get exactly what you mean. Conversely, I also like that Bella has to be equally careful with him. You don't often see a male hero with vulnerabilities in the romance genre. You almost never see a male hero with sexual vulnerabilities who is still able to hold onto his virility or sexiness. I think a guy that needs help is just as sexy if not more sexy than a guy who has it all together, or thinks he does. I'm not saying he should whine or cry all the time, but it makes sense to me if a human has natural human flaws.

This is the first review I've ever left, so don't look too closely for a glimpse of prolific!

I've been reading the more popular ficlets on this site and while they're good and...canon-appropriate or whatever, this is by far the most endearing piece of literature I've read since venturing to this site a few weeks ago. Bravo. Please, please, please don't abandon this for something artificial. This story lives completely on its own.

I'm adding this to be favorites and will be checking back for an update next week. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope this review fuels the fire!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the glowing review especially in view of your usual non response;) I have no intentions of abandoning this story in favor of something epically lame. I abhor all things fucktarded, so no worries on that account. Once you read up to chapter 18, things may slow down as my schedule changes. However, once I get all the loose ends tied up, you should have yourself a nice little happily ever after for this version of Bella and Edward. I have no idea how long it will take them to get to their HEA, but it will happen.

Totally on Fire:)

i would like to leave you with a poem that i actually found in a story here on twilighted. it is by e.e. cummings.

 

may i feel said he
(i'll squeal said she
just once said he)
it's fun said she

(may i touch said he
how much said she
a lot said he)
why not said she

(let's go said he
not too far said she
what's too far said he
where you are said she)

may i stay said he
which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she

may i move said he
is it love said she)
if you're willing said he
(but you're killing said she

but it's life said he
but your wife said she
now said he)

(tiptop said he
don't stop said she
oh no said he)
go slow said she

(cccome?said he
ummm said she)
you're divine!said he
(you are Mine said she)

ee cummings

you don't have to use it, just thought it fit somewhat. . .

Author's Response:

Thanks for the poetic thoughts. I read this on another fic too! What was that? This is going to drive me nuts. I've been reading fanfic a lot lately, trying to catch up after a long absence from reading.

Ok. as u can see I am reviewing now....

I really like ur story and I don't think that Eddie's disorder it's  just lack of control. As we say here in greece "u have both the mellon and the knife" a.k.a ur story ur disorder ur symptoms(soory didn't know how to spell it..)

 

SO GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

I have a bit of a healthy skeptic in me, so even when I'm writing this stuff, I'm constantly going, "Yeah, whatever Jules...You're nuts! No one is going to buy this made up crap." And then the lovely readers just go with it, and everything works out just fine;)

Just found your story and like it so far.  Hopefully I will have time to get through the rest of the posted chapters later today.

I actually don't drink coffee (which is practically a sin here in Seattle) but when I do occasionally go to a Starbucks with a friend and find myself thirsty I order a small something as I have also been irrationally annoyed by their "fancy" names for sizes.  Not sure what that says about me :)

Author's Response:

It says that you're very practical and have a low tolerance for bullshit. You're very like me:) I have no patience for impractical nomenclature. Name it something understandable, dammit. Don't make my brain waves cross for no conceivable reason! I have a hard time walking, talking, and chewing gum; I don't need some stupid marketing campaign making me more confused.

This next one borders on controling for me. I don't like it when parents name their children something utterly ridiculous. I recognize a parent's right to name their kid whatever they fancy, but I don't have to admire it. Michael Jackson naming his son Blanket? WTF! poor kid -that stuff pisses me off for some reason. I imagine the child having to explain to every new introduction for the rest of his life that his father was nuts and named him after an item of bedding -which is inherently creepy, too.

I'm also not fond of the yuppie naming that goes on with young girls. I know many think it's really cute and endearing. I just think it sounds pretentious to name your girl daughter Chandler or Riley, or Donovan. Let the girl have a feminine name for cripe's sake. I can never remember those names, and when I see it in print, I can never remember the gender. So -it's definitely unique, but makes for confusion, which I find to be lame in general. Now I've probably pissed off a whole group of mothers and fathers who are very impressed with their naming skills. I also don't like bizarre spelling that holds no authenticity. If it's an Irish spelling- cool, family name, whatever. I can respect that.

Choosing to spell your kids name Gennafur when it should be spelled Jennifer? Totally nuts in my opinion. How important is originality to you? Sheesh, these poor kids.

awh! edward and bella are simply precious! there is such a sweet (albeit oxymoronic) innocence to their relationship. their sex-disorder based relationship. totally off the wall. love it.

Author's Response:

Yes:), innocent lasciviousness - I think Shakespeare would have approved of such an oxymoron;)

the phone conversation made laugh really hard, it was so funny...

now I can say that I'm falling in love with this story

Author's Response:

I'm guessing it was the glued together bad words and Bella's military drill sargeant rant that made you laugh. Even when I reread the second phone conversation (where she says thank you) I still get all tense and nervous for the two of them having to share such intimate stuff so soon in a relationship. Thank goodness for the telephone! At least no one can see or try to read your face when you're on the phone.

are you going to add more chaptuers?  this is a really good story.. Ilike the way the met and how they are helping each other.. I hope to read more..  thanks for sharing..

Author's Response:

Hi Debbie:)

I'm waiting for approval of Chapter Six on this site. It's a little bit slow because every chapter is read by a beta and then is approved and posted.

I have the whole thing (what I've written so far) on FanFiction.net through Chapter 18 if you don't wish to wait. You can find me over there under the same penname and the identical story title.

Loved it!  They are both so smart and funny;  looking forward to more!
