I KNOW I'm not the only one who is absolutely SURE she could handle Edward's "Problem" of being insatiable...
Author's Response: You know... you're not the first person to mention that, lol. You're also not the first person to mirror my inner pervy thoughts. I don't know where this idea of Insatiable Sexward came from. Let's just say that if he were to exhaust (ahem) me, you know wring me out and hang me to dry? Well, I really wouldn't mind. I'd consider it a community service of good will. I wouldn't even mind walking funny the next day; I'd hobble around like it was a badge of honor;)

Don't drink starbucks, but love the story.
Author's Response: Thank God the two aren't mutually exclusive:) I think I put Starbuck's in my story in the midst of a full-on Starbuck's backlash...

They are pretty cute. While I normally don't enjoy slutEdward's I do like that they have different issues to work out..and that by going at her pace he'd certainly be doing the steps he needs to do too.
Author's Response: I think he's definitely a horny male, but I'm not sure I'd be too quick to put the slut label on this Edward. He's only been with two women besides Bella and he's a good-looking 26 year old virile male. For some, those are conservative numbers. I do get your point that he is nowhere near canon Edward, however. Canon Edward feels like an impossibility to me (don't get me wrong, I love the books! Obsessed with the books) maybe that's why I get so wrapped up in the AH/AU stories. Perhaps I'm big on realistic fiction. I don't know what my deal is. Hell, I had a hard time not cackling in the theatre when the sparkle music played when Edward's chest was revealed to the sun. That was so hokie to me. I still love it, but what kind of crack was SM smoking? *Waits for lightning to strike her dead for besmirching the name of the immortal Stephenie Meyer...*

I loved this! I also like that you made up a disorder that sounds realistic, but isn't real so fictional use doesn't paint a picture of false progress.
Author's Response: I never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right. I get a little paranoid about the young girls who go online, don't read very much, and take everything they read at face value. I know I can't be responsible for stupidity, but I still feel responsible. Nuts, right?
Reviewer: witchykitty (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2009 04:29 PM · On: Chapter 4: Kill All the Alarm Clocks
Awesome! I love the banter back and forth between the two. Love Edward's like that she "totally owns" him!
Author's Response: I'm always looking for a fic that has witty banter, original plot, and believable sex scenes. Sometimes it can be hard to find! Or, you find one or two of those things, but a third is missing...
Reviewer: Lightgirl (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2009 01:22 PM · On: Chapter 4: Kill All the Alarm Clocks
Love this! I want more please!
Author's Response: You could always head over to fanfiction. Same story name, same author name - 12 more chapters posted over there.
Reviewer: starlit (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2009 12:01 PM · On: Chapter 4: Kill All the Alarm Clocks
Love this - love your creation and this concept - will anxiously await your updates and thank you!
Author's Response: You're very welcome, starlit.
It's wonderful when a new author can actually come up with an original idea (aside from characterization). I can't lay claim to the frigid thing. There are hundreds of steamy romances out there with a traumatized woman who's abandoned her sexuality too soon. I've just never seen the heroine paired with an insatiable male. The man is usually portrayed as super virile. The sexual dysfunction idea is more realistic in my mind. I think for every female there comes a point when she might say, "Give it a rest already!" I'd like to think it would take me a good month or two of damaging the drywall behind my bed before I'd get there...In all honesty though, a couple needs to learn how to balance things sexually. When things don't match up right, it leads to problems in my opinion.
If you'll indulge me for a second, I really like the dorky jokes that Edward says to Bella in FTT. I guess it reminds me of some of the ridiculous things my husband says. No matter how many times I roll my eyes at him, I love that he can make me laugh at his juvenile, boyish jokes. The two of us will probably never grow up!

loving the witty banter
Author's Response: Isn't witty banter the best? I always love the dialogue in a story and have been known to skip long paragraphs of annoying setting details in favor of moving forward to the witty banter. I'm such a bad reader!

wow i wasn't expecting the whole everyone's connected thing haha.. keep writing =]
Author's Response: It's fun to reimagine the characters and make them villains...
Reviewer: evieeden (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2009 11:04 AM · On: Chapter 4: Kill All the Alarm Clocks
I love this story. Edward and Bella are so sweet together (with extra sugar). What I really like about the story so far is that you're not rushing the characters into the relationship which means plenty of time for all the adorable little touches like the kisses on the foreheads :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you like the pace of things. They are sweet together. Canon Edward is such an interesting character to me; I think its the contrast between 107 years of experience on this planet and his Victorian restraint against dishonoring a woman. That contrast is lovable and drives me nuts. I don't think I came anywhere close to that striking contrast that Meyer manages to convey. My version of Edward is sexually knowledgable when it comes to the female form, but horribly lacking in confidence when it comes to regular sex. I was hoping that contrast would play off as interesting. I still say there's nothing so good as the original:)
If only Meyer would write some more. Couldn't she tackle time travel and zombies for us? No doubt it would be interesting.

You've totally got me hooked. I'm loving this story and how you've got Edward and Bella "helping" each other.
Hope to read more soon!
Author's Response: Glad to have you as one of the fishies on my hook;)
Sometimes while I'm writing, I listen to "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye. I've got to figure out a way to incorporate that into a love scene. It would be so hokie and so sweet, dont you think?

Reviewer: hihotintin (Signed) · Date: August 07, 2009 08:05 PM · On: Chapter 3: The Long Walk Home
I loved the ending!!The whole pecking each others forhead was brilliant, but I'm looking forward to learning more about Edward. He had me crackin up when talking about the video games,; I work in a kids store in the video game section.I loved how they both are neurotic and I can't wait to see how things will progress from here!Why would he need to know about her manager?!Crazy, but I'm really enjoying this story!
Author's Response: Ha! I love that you're curious about the manager bit. I can't tell you or it would ruin the beginning of chapter four - which is insane. I like the forehead thing as well; it's so tender and sweet. I feel like it holds a great deal of sexual tension in just a forehead kiss, and yet has this entirely innocuous connotation. It's something a father would do for his daughter. Not that I'm trying to make this incestuous...I think you know what I mean.
I'm a firm believer that the level of natural affection your parents show you sets you up in life for how tactile you are as an adult. If mom and dad hug and kiss openly in front of their kids, and show a natural affection with kisses on the cheek and harmless hugs, then you can't help but growing into an adult with a certain level of expectation for physical affection - not necessarily demands for sex all the time, but the need for physical touch on a regular basis. I'm one of those people whose parents had a healthy sex life (I think). I'm always wishing my husband would do more of the casual kiss on the cheek stuff. He wasn't raised with all that touchy feely affection all the time, so we're a bit of a missmatch that way. I just have to instigate it more.
I guess in my mind Bella didn't have that model, so she didn't know what she was missing. I imagine the Masen parents and the Cullens as well, as more touchy feely. I always imagine Carlisle as a hand on the shoulder kind of man, or a hand shake, a fist bump - all of that stuff. That's why I see Emmett as doing the bear hugs all the time. I see Edward as experiencing physical distress when Bella tries to distance herself physically. For Bella, backing away is natural. For Edward, a close proximity is his life's blood, he needs it.

Are we going to get a Edward point of view or will this just be in Bella's?Great chapter. I love how you have Bella a bit neurotic, going on and on about Starbucks, lol too funny!!I typically prefer the chai latte, or an izzie. Depends on my mood. What other site did you post this story on?Awesome part!!!!
Author's Response: Most of chapter four is EPOV, so hang in there - it's coming up. Fanficion.net has the story through chapter sixteen under the same title and the same penname. Go get caught up, I'm working on chapter 17 right now:)
Reviewer: hihotintin (Signed) · Date: August 07, 2009 07:58 PM · On: Chapter 1: Cat Fancy
Interesting start. I like the concept, it is not something I've ever read. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this.
Author's Response: I'm pleased that you find the premise interesting enough to continue reading. That was one hope I had when I started writing this. I've read a lot of trashy romance novels in my day - way too many to even count. The frigid thing has been done before many times in some of those sexist 70's romance novels. It's kind of amusing to pick one of those up because they're so politically incorrect now. So I've seen the frigid thing done before. But, I've never seen two sexual dysfunctionals in the same romance story. You would think that would rather hamstring things. But like all smut fiction, sex solves everything...which makes me laugh. Sex solves nothing - it always seems to complicate things. The having of it, the not having it, thinking about having it - all seem to throw people into a tizzy. Suffice it to say, I'm having a blast with this little sexually dysfunctional romp that I've allowed to play out.
I have a reverse story in my head too. Imagine an Insatia-Bella. She's a man eater - picking up men, test driving them for one night, and then discarding them when they don't live up to her insatiable standards. She gives up on finding the right man (much like Edward does in Failure to Thrive) and goes to bars merely to reject them and punish these men for not being enough. Enter Edward, a normal guy - who can't possibly satisfy her either. But, perhaps he can help her to balance things.
I'm almost eager to finish FTT so that I can start the next one. I'm excited about Bella as this multi-orgasmic angry woman. That sounds like a blast to do the dialogue. My fingers are just itching, but I've got to get the current couple in the sack and they have to get their HEA. If only the summer was twice as long, I would sit in my office imagining the most licentious trash, lol.
Thanks for reading:)

I like this! They are funny together.
Author's Response: The witty banter was my favorite part throughout the Twilight Saga. I don't presume that I can even begin to mimic what SM does. She has quite a bit more restraint and good taste than I possess. But, it has been fun to play with her creations.

Fabulous!
I'm tempted to go look this up on fanfiction, but I think I'll stick to Twilighted and wait for it like I'm sure lots of fanfiction fans had to do!
Please update soon!
