MWAH!

Hi, just want you to know that I'm lovin' your stories! They put me in a happy place, which I really need 'cause RL can be pretty crappy! I can't wait for more of NTE as well as OTT. Thank you!

Also I want to thank you for your comments on Rob and Kristen. They have both made a lot of people happier and deserve whatever life can give. Whether they are together or not(I think they are) they deserve their privacy wherever they can find it. But, that being said, it doesn't detract from Rob and Jen at all to me.

Keep it up! We all need these "escapes".

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! i do worry about offending those that love Rob and Kris together, as Jen's perspective is slanted. but i am glad i can entertain and provide escape for everyone! and this is a work of fiction, i have no idea who Rob or kris are. I can only hope that if they were to read any of this, it would give them a giggle. 

Happy to provide these 'escapes' my dear! you guys make it worthwhile!

thank you for all your support! 

more soon!

MWAH!

I totally agree with your Swiss stance.  :)  Oh don't worry about losing readers, we RPF fans know this is still all made up fun.  I, personally, still think about your Rob like a character and not a real person -- that's just how I roll.  

And I liked your KStew, she is just a baby after all.  I remind myself of this after every stuttering interview she gives.  LOL 

And I'm glad that Jen was able to be a big girl here.  Especially after the CL boots were defiled.  That was just evil.  Kristen should totally buy her a new pair, whether she declined them or not.  Loved this chappie!

Author's Response:

I like how you roll! FICTION Rob. that's me...as much as we think we know him... we simply don't. 

KStew is young. she has a lot of growing to do, but so does Rob. heehee...i'll address the stuttering... Jen Style....

Jen is all about the caring. she can knuckle down and be the grownup. and the boots, oh yeah... Kris needs to go to oxford street with her... 

thanks my dear!

more soon!

MWAH!

Ok, where to begin?  I guess I should preface this by saying that I'm not really into the whole are they/aren't they thing.  I honestly feel very badly for both Rob and Kristen since I imagine that all the speculation gets very old very fast.  The reality is that we just don't know. 

You have a vested interest in Jen, as do we as your readers!  I loved this chapter.  I think you portrayed two vulnerable characters who handled a tough situation differently.  In the end, however, they came to an understanding which is the most important thing.  I can't imagine you losing readers.  Regardless of our stance on the Robsten thing, this is just damn good fanfic!  As for me, I'm Team Steph :-)

Author's Response:

Thanks my dear!

the next couple of chapters we get to see more on Kris and the pressures they must feel, all from Jen's perspective. Wonder what she will think of it all....

thanks for your inspiring words. I am a huge RobJen fan, in that i hope RL Rob finds something incredible in his life. Whether with Kristen or someone else, i am sure he will. he's still young. He'll find it. I don't think he'll let hollywood destroy that opportunity. i think he cares too much. 

but then again. don't know him... so there ya go.

awww. Team Steph. now i'm blushing :) thanks my dear!

more soon!

MWAH!

steph

I think you write this with sensitivity and love so I can't fault it from that at all.  I love RobJen as they really seem to work together and agree that you couldnt possibly know what's really going on in the real Rob's head and I think your fictional versionis fantastic!

Thank you for your story.

Achilles

Author's Response:

Thanks Achilles! that means so much to me. It's about weaving a story about these two. and as much as I'd liketo think I'd like to know what goes on in that head, I really don't. It seems to be the only place he can find sanctuary. And even then, sometimes he can't.

thanks so much. your support for this story has been monumental! I appreciate it more than you know.

Thank you for reading, reviewing and rating!

MWAH!

steph

Well you haven't lost me, people need to remember that this is FICTION!

Yes some of the characters are BASED on real people but that is where it ends.

I am really enjoying your story, please don't feel the need to change how you are writing it just to please the masses...!

Author's Response:

Thanks my dear. Absolutely it is fiction. really just the names are similar. from there the only person i am sure of is Jen... oh well ok Leroy and the Johnsons too... and maybe theatregirl... hahaha

but that's it! the rest...utter rubbish! hahaha!

thanks so much for your support. I'll keep it true to my heart. It's what you guys want. wait does THAT mean i am writing it for the masses? hahaha! nope. i have a plan...and some of it will upset, and some of it will excite...well ok... alot will probably excite! but i don't want to give anything away....

BEL AMI ROB.... top hat and tails. and a walking stick... so much to write there....

thanks my dear! can you tell i am tired! i get goofy !

thanks for putting up with me!

MWAH!

steph

I still liked it & I'm not going anywhere!

Author's Response:

Thanks dear! that's what i needed to hear today !

more soon! 

thanks for all your tremendous support!

MWAH!

steph

I loved the chapter, bb.  I think your portrayal of Kristen was probably, in all likelihood, fairly accurate (particularly the awkward part).  I figured she would be showing up sometime in the story.  Any chance we can get her together with Leroy?  That boy needs some luuuuve!

xoxo Sarah 

Author's Response:

hahah! thanks Sarah! 

She is an interesting character study to be sure. she'll be around for a few chapters, so we'll get to learn more about her (from Jen's perspective of getting to know her at least)

hahah. Poor Leroy... he's so smitten for Jen... it might be hard to dissuade him... hehe

thanks my dear and thanks for the rating! you rock! 

MWAH!

Boxing Day was intense! Poor Jen. Her brother reminds me of my ex. A lot! I am so glad Rob was there to help her work out her frustrations.

Author's Response:

Gosh I am sorry! yeah her brother is a Tool. i wouldn't wish that person on ANYONE! his name isn't Robb is it? LOL!

yes, thank goodness for Rob and his fine frustration easing abilities. 

We haven't seen the last of Brother Robb though. I am a firm believer in keeping up with family, regardless of their idiocy! 

thanks my dear!

MWAH!

honestly i'm not lurking... heehee!

steph

Steph,

Totally loved the reference to Marion Ravenwood! Love Indiana!

I think you did a great job with this chapter and the portrayal of the characters. I totally get lost in this story and I imagine him with Jen too. We don't know what goes on with Rob and Kristen and "are they, or aren't they", really who cares. If he's happy that's all that matters. I think the press should give it a rest for God's Sake! They hound him so and I don't think it's healthy. Poor guy can't even pee in peace!

I understand where you are and I have loved this story since the beginning. I am definately in for the long haul.

I think you do a great job writing him as you think he may really be. I imagine him as just this myself.

So, with that, keep up the great work and I always can't wait for more.

MWAH!

Hugs,

Louise XXOO

Author's Response:

thanks Louise! 

YAY! someone notice Marion! yippee! thru all the Kstew someone noticed Marion! 

yeah...indy would be my freebie with my hubs (Rob bumped Harrison off a long time ago, but Indiana Jones circa Raiders days.... sorry Rob, I can't say no to that!) hahaha!

It really bugs me that his press time is not better spent with better questions pertaining to his acting, and the constant hounding breaks my heart. I could go on forever- but really, that is why this story came to be .... HE needed and ESCAPE. 

i giggle a bit a the peeing in peace, only because i wrote a little something of that lack of privacy in a later chapter of OTT... it's sad but true.

Thanks for supporting me my dear! it really means alot.  Everyone's kind words have spurred me on... I'm in it for the long haul too... 

Bel Ami here I come! 

heehee! 

thanks my dear! 

MWAH!

Steph - This chapter lived up to what I hoped it would be and more!  I think you've done a wonderful job of portraying Kristen, and weaving RobJen into real life!  Their first fight!  And going to bed angry!  It was one of those moments in life where you just know that your partner is being a jackass, but you know you are too, and you're just too pissed off to apologize :)

And about KStew - I think the fact that Kristen is so Young is a huge part of what comes across in the media - and she's under a ton of pressure.  The girl gets nothing but flack, whether sometimes deserved or not.  I think you've portrayed her fairly, but in your own way, just like the rest of your characters!  Nobody worried about you making Nick out to be a d**che :)

Anyhow, here's to hoping Jen gets a new pair of Laboutins sometime soon - maybe another shopping trip with Lizzy!

I <3 you lady! 

- Terri

Author's Response:

heeheehee... Poor Nick. if his mother read this she'd have my hide.... but then again... Rob isn't "with" Nick....EWWWW!

thanks my dear. i agree on all counts. she is young, she has a lot of growing to do, so does Rob. and we'll get to see more of why my Kris is my Kris in the next couple of chapters.

oh those stupid fights... this was a good one... it only took them 5 weeks to have a fight! yay! but the make up was worth it...

oooh! another shopping trip! maybe with Kristen! she owes Jen! hahahaha evil! 

love you more my dearest! and Canadians Rule, just saying! 

MWAH!

Well, this was a great chapter. I am glad you added depth to Rob's family with the aunts and the grandmother. Tomorrow will by interesting. I love how strong Jen is.

Author's Response:

thanks my dear! 

She's coming into her own. And the extended family is just another step towards coming out. 

christmas will definitely be interesting! 

thanks my dear! this has been so exciting watching you go thru! 

MWAH!

steph

I don't think this review went through the first time, so here it goes again.

I am glad they are home. Their second night in their home was wonderful. It seems like they have been together so much longer!

Now I can't wait for Christmas Eve!

Author's Response:

Their relationship is pretty strong, and it does feel like they have been together for so long !They have to keep reminding themselves of this i think.

love that they have a place of their own to escape to and be themselves. however that needs to be. They need that time to make this relationship really grow. 

thanks my dear !

OH you are so close! i'm so excited!

MWAH!
