Okay, I love how you use this chapter to futher illustrate the difference btw Jacob and Edward. And I'm really, really interested to see how Edward's return plays into this story. I think you will absolutely do Edward just as much justice as you have shown Jacob (and of course, Bella).
Thanks again for writing such a GREAT fanfic!
Author's Response: Please. Reserve judgment on my Edward abilities unitl you've seen me screw him up, er, I mean, until you've seen me write him.
Thank YOU for being such a great/active reader! I love it. <3

Author's Response: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewer: gredelina1 (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2010 06:37 PM · On: Agreement
The meating between the wolves and the Cullen's were really interesting. Bella thinks of the pack as her family now and Sam seems to agree.
I totally agree with Alice that Edward's an idiot!!! He probably thinks that Bella has made an informed choice and is happy with Jacob so he wont interfear. I assume that he knows Jacob told Bella about Edward's lies and that he still loves her. What he most likely doesn't know is that she didn't believe Jacob. She wont believe anyone besides Edward himself and that will never happen if he hardly even looks at her. Idiot! Stop being such a coward or martyr or whatever and fight for your girl!
The dreams are getting weirder and I'm starting to get a bit frustrated not knowing what's going on!
Author's Response: Edward the martyr?!?! NEVER!
LOL, he is a bit of an idiot sometimes. And this really is a mess. Whatever happend to talking things out? (oh, nv, apparently that would get rid of all of the drama and this story would be completely lame.)
Things start making sense around chapter 30. lol. ;)

You know, I like your chapter notes almost as much as the story itself. I'd say more, but I HAVE to go read the next chapter now. I should SO be doing other things right now! ; ) Okay, so seriously, next one is the last one for tonight. Really....
Author's Response: LOL, chapter notes are where I get to take full credit for my spazziness without blaming it on the characters.
Yes, get to bed! I'm sure you have more productive things to be doing in the morning. But then come back and talk to me some more. :)

For what it is worth (in response to your chapter notes) the chapter is a little confusing, but I think it's fairly clear that it is confusing to the reader because we are witnessing and experiencing the story through Bella. If she is confused, then we should be, too (unless, of course, we manage to figure something out 50 pages before she does).
Since I'm reading this late in the game, so to speak, I'm assuming I have a few more chapters before Edward returns and renders Bella's heart in two. ; ) Should be interesting to say in the least!
And speaking of Edward's return, I'm curious how much readers comments influence a story. I'm sure that a writer wants their story to be well received by their audience, but at the same time I suspect that many plotlines take on a life of their own and move in a direction that the author didn't necessarily foresee. Just curious. I'm sure I would get as many different answers as there are authors.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write such a great story and posting it to share with others. : )
Author's Response: LOL, I think it's confusing for most people because in the Twilight series, whenever Bella was uncertain about something, the reader was 20 pages ahead of her. You don't get that same foresight here.
You are spot on about plotlines taking a life of their own. I've mentioned before that the supernatural stuff got delayed majorly, and Edward actually showed up about six chapters later than I'd originally planed when I'd started. Also, Leah's character ended up really speaking to me on levels I didn't anticipate, so I found her role growing and transforming along the way. I also had to cut some scenes entirely (a couple that I had pre-written) because they no longer fit in my cannon timeline of events.
As far as reader comments go...they do have an impact on the story. Not in the way that I change the plot to satisfy them, but that I use readers as mirrors for the story. They project back to me what they've taken from each chapter and I find myself seeing things about the characters that I hadn't noticed or hadn't intended. These are things I try to take into account as I continue writing. It impacts little details and word choice more than actual plot.
But then there are times when a reviewer says something, and I'm like "Oh, I'd really like to include that in the story!" And short scene or nuance is born. There's actually a character (who hasn't appeared yet) that is the product of one person's review. It's really great fun to do these things.
Wow...I really rambled. Sorry! And thank you for the thoughtful review.

I love when Bella's hanging out with the pack and you are writing them so perfectly! Everything including, but not limited to, their strategizing, comradery, arrogance and their constant bantering is so IC and an utter joy to read.
“For instance, instead of saying that you were attacked by an angry, psycho werewolf, you tell people that after killing a rabid polar bear’s mate with only a stone and your bare hands, it chased you for two miles until it knocked you off a cliff into the ocean, where you had to wrestle with it until a shark happened by and snapped it right up. Then, you killed the shark and used its fat to keep you warm in the arctic waters, where you waited for twelve hours until hitching a ride on a Russian submarine. Oh and make sure everyone thinks you almost died.”
- that's quite the story!!! How on earth do you come up with these things? I'm seriously impressed!
Author's Response: I promise I wasn't dropped on my head when I was a baby. I don't know where these things come from. It's like I've got a little Quil, Jacob, and Embry sitting on my shoulder feeding me this insanity. All I have to do is feed them crackers. *shrugs*
The Pack have an amazingly fun dynamic to write about, that's very different from the Cullen's sense of unity. I like to explore it.
Thank you again!

Okay, so now that I know the next chapter "will be pretty interesting and SUPERNATURAL" I can't stay long enough to write a 'real' review. I'm too excited to see what's next. Forgive me, but I'll make it up with the next chapter's review, I promise!
Reviewer: JBC719 (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2010 05:29 PM · On: Fever
I really like how you're building this. You take enough time to let your readers enjoy Bella and Jake's growing relationship without sacrificing your storyline (at least as far as I can tell). Very well paced. : )
Author's Response: I have to admit, that when I started, I'd planned on things happening a lot quicker with the "supernatural" plot, and I know that upsetted some of my readers because I was taking so long to develop it. But I found Bella and Jacob's growing relationship too important to fast track. Something had to give.
Thank you!

I'm sorry, but this story just keeps getting better and better and since I've still got more chapters to read I'm finding it more and more difficult to take a break and write a review. Just know that I'm loving your story!!!
Author's Response: LOL, don't appologize for enjoying it. That makes me so happy. :D

God I love Jacob! I love that he loves Bella so much that he's willing to let her go and be with Edward. How the hell do one choose between these two amazing guys? It might be time though to remind me what's so amazing about Edward. I've now spent 17 chapters falling in love with Jake and I'm almost starting to think "Edward, who?". Almost.
Author's Response: How do you choose between these two amazing guys?
IKR? I wish I had Bella's problem. *sigh*

I don't even know what to say. There are to many things to comment on and speculate about. I'll just keep reading.
Author's Response: Go ahead and speculate away. Though, I think I've heard it all at this point. :)

Wow! That was an incredible chapter! The way you depicted Bella's confusion, pain and fear was simply astonishing. I almost got goosebumps reading it.
Bella, you’re bleeding. You’re injured.” Yet from the anguish in his voice, it sounded as if he were the one in pain. As if he were the one left alone, broken-hearted in the woods.
He reached out again, this time with his eyes. His gaze bore into my wounded middle, and it seemed so odd that, at a moment like this, he would be worried about my physical health. Who cared about a few ripped stitches when my carefully mended heart was in danger of unraveling all together?
You're breaking my heart with the raw emotions in these two passages. Powerful writing!
Author's Response: I LOVE me some E/B angst. Mm Mm Mmmmmmmm. I mean, I originally thought that SM touched on every possible ounce of the stuff during the series, but it turns out that's not true. It NEVER ends!

Edward sure knows how to pick the right time and place for a comeback!
“Yeah, not all that threatening, Bells. Dealing with a grumpy you is like dealing with a sleepy, slightly constipated Teletubby. I think I can handle it—dopey, fake smiles and all.” - OMG, the pictures you're painting!!! Hilarious!
Author's Response: LOL! I don't know WHERE that bit about Teletubies came from. I swear I wasn't abusing any substances at the time, and I had gotten plenty of sleep, so...O_O

Your chapter end notes include a comment from you, hoping that your readers will not find Edwards absense "too unbearable." Again, I love Edward, but I'm afraid I just have to pull for Jacob. Can't be helped. ; ) So if some of your devoted readers are having a hard time right now, please know some of us are thrilled. In fact, I find myself dreading Edward's reappearance as much as Bella dread's Jacob imprinting.
Author's Response: Honestly, I think I've lost most of my Team Edward holdouts. I happen to know of a FEW who still drop me line every once in a while, but I think all of the Jacobness scared the majority of them away. It's not something I understand, but that's neither here nor there. I'm glad that YOU are enjoying how things are progressing so far. It's great following your feedback. So, thank you. :)

So Leah became a wolf. But why was she ice cold? Or was she really hot and just felt cold to Bella? This is getting more intricate with every chapter and I love your writing!
Author's Response: She was cold. To Bella. ;)
Reviewer: gredelina1 (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2010 10:32 AM · On: Nightmares
Don't think Jake wants to know what Bella and Leah talked about...
I like that things are starting to heat up between Bella and Jacob. How far will they go before Edward comes back?
Author's Response: Yeah, Jacob probably wouldn't be a happy camper knowing about how that convo went down.
But I think he may surprise you later on...
