when will the next update be?

random spec: will james make an appearance in this story?

Author's Response:

The chapter will get finished tonight and hopefully beta'd so that I can post it ASAP.

No, James is dead and gone, I'm afraid.

I wish I could see the end - but I can not.  i will just have to wait until you get there.  I am pretty excited.  This is by far one of my favorite fics.  I love the path Bella is on.  She is growing as a woman.  Your development of her is well written - I would never have know you were new at this.

Author's Response:

I'm just really good at faking like I know what I'm doing.  It's the truth.

It's good that you can't see the ending. That means things aren't boring and I can give myself a pat on the back. :D

Thank you for taking the time to say all of those wonderful things. <3

Ooooo.. he was so slick puttin' his hand on her forehead to make it seem like she got a fever, all the while, everyone knows Mr.Black gives her "Fever" just like Ms.Ella Fitzgerald sings it. I love Jacob Black's character the way ou write , he so damn smooth, so damn smooth. And I am wondering just when and how he is gonna knock Bella's boots from La Push to Phoneix AND Jacksonville. Keep up the good work, I am enjoying the story so far. Go ahead and get down with your pen!

Author's Response:

Points for successful use of a music analogy! LOL, I don't know how far you are now, but keep reading and you should get your answers.

Thank you so much!

I'm all out of theories but I love the small moment between Leah and Bella.  It's rare to see Leah out of her element and being nice. 

Author's Response:

HAHA!  That's soooo awesome that we consider what she said in the woods to be "nice." Oh, Leah, how we love you. :D

You write the best Leah in any of the stories I've read on this site. I absolutely love her! If you can get more Leah in your story more please do, she certainly steels the chapters she’s in, even if it’s just one line. This chapter I just can’t even decide which line I liked the best! I loved the whole vagina references! But then when she called Edward a “that presumptuous little bastard of a cocker spaniel” I lost it! OMG to too funny!

This story is getting so good (I’m sure your tired of hearing this lol) Please feel free to continue and update quickly!

Author's Response:

Ah, well my Leah love YOU. (Not that that gets you much in the way of affection...lol)

She does tend to steal the show, doesn't she? But she also doesn't do much to drive the main plot forward, so I have to work to keep her in check sometimes. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. :)

Well, as long as I have YOUR blessing to keep writing, I guess I can. ;)

Thanks!

Wonderful! I love this story!

Author's Response:

Aw, thank you!

for once i say...go Leah!  loving the blade and buffy references!  I still can't for thelife of me work out what is happenig to bella...or are the slayer references a hint??? mmm??? jake and edward need to get over eachother a little i think there maybe a budding bromance!! ha! love the story!

Author's Response:

*whistles nonchalantly*  I have no comment on your questions.

Budding romance between Jake and Eddie?! ROFL! Poor Bella. :D

Thank you for your continued feedback.

Please...i'm begging you, the world needs more Jacob/Bella

Author's Response:

No, don't beg! lol, what would Leah have to say about that? ;)

Hehe, thank you.

I'm wondering if Bella's going to be able to teleport over a shorter distance... say, mid-argument with Edward or Jacob, just to illustrate a point.

Hmm for that matter, I was feeling pretty annoyed (censored myself ;) with Edward's conduct through parts of the meeting. But as I got closer to the end, I've started to think that he was being obtuse deliberately, trying to goad Bella into demonstrating a power or two in her anger and frustration. So far it's really only been fear and self-preservation that have triggered the movements. As much as Bella has any instinct for self-preservation that is hehe :)

It does look like Bella's blood is toxic to vamps, whether that's as a result of her interaction with Jacob (somehow) or not-quite normal background she, herself, seems to have is unclear. I've also been contemplating that it's another defense mechanism that's able to be "controlled" in that, when under attack, her system secretes something into the blood stream so that if Bella IS fed upon, the vamps die before she does. That would leave the door open for a friendly bite and a surviving friendly vamp. Although using the old seringe-full-of-venom bypasses that messy problem altogether :)

Author's Response:

Um...no comment on the first thing. ;)

Mkay, Edward.  Edward was not trying to goad Bella into using her powers.  He was genuinely upset.  He does not like it one bit that Bella might not get the chance at normallcy he sacrificed his own happiness for.  Even now, when he's torn about whether or not to try and win her back, he doesn't like the idea of Bella going all supernatural. So, basically he was in denial.

lol, touche.  Bella hardly has a sense of self-preservation.

I love your thinking in the third paragraph.  You've hit on something important that will be explained a little later in the story.

Thank you!

2) p.s i was actually thinking along the lines of the swans being soul collectors. ya kno, puling some nice, heath ledger joker shit and bringing out good peoples inner evil so they can be brought to hell. if bellas ancestors really did swear their allegiance to the devil, thats the only catch i could think of... 

 

agin i kno u probably won't b able to answer this, but here goes: will felicity ever trully appear in the real world? meaning will the cullen or wolves ever meet her? or is she  solely a spiritual guide, meant only to manifest in bella dreams?

Author's Response:

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII waaaaaaaaaaaaaaant tooooooooooooooo teeeeeeeeeeeeell youuuuuuuuuuuu thiiiiiiiiiiiiiings.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut I shouldn't. *pouts*

You've sort of touched on an important conept with the first one, and you got something ALL right with the second one.

I. Am. Bad. Felicity would kick my ass.

1) hehe, thanks :P

2) yeahhhhh, that wasn't meant to be sexual and all, but then again that would be an interesting concept. bella ending up rearing the spawn of satan. pretty nice reference to renesmee to all the bd haters/lovers

3)glad you like my spec.'s :) thanks !

4) i'm actually drafting my first fanfic :D

right now tho it's in the brain storming stage. i'v never written a story before, so i'm trying to iron out the general plot. nearly done with that, but i'm having trouble planning out the details nd how i'm going to describe things. i don't want to end up with a summary for a story.

also, i'm sort of waiting for next school year, when i'l FINALLY have a creative writing class...hopefully.

i just reallyx1000 don't want to f@%$ up my own story. i  mean i've read so mny fanfcs here and on ff.net that have kick-ass ideas and concepts, but their authors end up killing them due to bad grammer

, poor writing skill, etc.

so far, i'm still drafting chapter 1. :/

5)again, thanks for the thanks ;) 

Author's Response:

Ooh, keep me updated on how the story is coming along!!!  That's awesome.  Any chance I could get the pre-lim summary???

Ok so i dont hate edward but it's so nice to have a really nice jacob bella story, i can't waitt to keep reading so thats what i m going ot do, fingers crossed it at least ends B/J!!! Please

Author's Response:

Hehe.  I will take your pleading into consideration. ;)

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me!

P.s. I made my fiance read this chapter, because I laughed so hard every time I read Leah's dialogue that I had to share it. He's like 'she should just right a story about the pack' because he's like 'Leah's fucking awesome and so is Embry and Quil' So that too. I want you to write a story about the pack, soley based in humor. I can never get him to read fanfiction or do much involving twilight (though I got him to read all four books, possibly the only guy in my entire State to ever do it) so this review is mostly for him, even though he also hates that you've made me crazy obsessive over this story XD but at least he understands why lol

Author's Response:

Hello, Jessisreang's fiance! *waves*

So, let's make a dealio.  I'll write a humerous pack one-shot as long as you give me some prompts to work with. I need some possible scenarios.  And they can be as macho as you like.  I have three brothers, so if I need to do some field research on the topic (if it's like some video game or guy youtube video) it won't be hard. ;)

Hope to hear from you!
