I share a birthday with Malcolm X and Ho Chi Min. Be afraid. I know I am. According to the Secret Language of Birthdays, our birthday is the Day of Heartfelt Persausion. So, I ought to be able to persuade you that I'm a great writer. Let's see. :)
I'm in my 20-teens, a mom of two, wife of one (because frankly, I can hardly handle the one husband some days. :D), I write obsessively anyway, so I thought why not give this a try and get some immediate feedback instead of waiting for publishers' letters?
Plus, the Twilight books just captured my imagination. The characters more than anything. I don't write them as vampires because I don't imagine I could do it better. I like seeing where the characters can go with less or different restrictions on their relationships.
There are threads for both of my stories; Something Stupid, http://www.twilighted.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=3349, and Never Sleep in a Strange Man's Bed http://www.twilighted.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=3409, please come play and ask me anything. I'm not saying I'll tell you the answer, but I'll tell you something or other. =D

Title: Chapter 14: May 17 - May 18, 2008
Limona,
I just joined this site, but I've been reading this story for a few weeks. I have to tell you it's fantastic--real plot, believable characters, unbelievable situation that I believe anyway--I love it. And I'll keep looking for the next installment.
Question: Is Emmett really crushing on Bella? If so, please tell me he's not going to act on it! I hate cheaters and I like your Emmett, so PLEASE!
WndrngY Author's Response: First, Emmett would not cheat on Rosalie.
Second, thanks so much for taking the time to review. I really appreciate it. It is an unbelievable situation, and I'm so glad the writing is decent enough that you believe it anyway.
Summary: Edward's family hire Bella Swan to break the heartbreaker's heart in hopes to have him see the error of his womanizing ways. Bella realizes that they have a little too much in common and is having a little too much fun with this subject. EXB Lots of lemons later.

Summary: Edward Cullen made Bella Swan’s life a living hell from age ten to twelve. Finally fed up with the torment and teasing, she moved to Phoenix. Now she’s seventeen, beautiful, and has a new sense of confidence. When her mother sends her back to Forks for her senior year, she is determined to shake things up.

And Bella possibly needs to look into her taste in men. Just cause they look delicious doesn;t mean they're good for you!
Great chapter--looking forward to more!

Thanks for the update! Author's Response: Ha...of course all voyeurs just have the other person's welfare at heart. I'm still thinking about revenge for him, definately will have to be funny but need to find the perfect way to do it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review.

Beautiful once again. Can't wait to find out what her 'punishment' is. :D
Summary: A story about the ultimate threesome: Edward, Bella and Jake. They're all juniors in Forks in this AU-human take on things. The story's very NC-17 with Edward and Jake both bi, but it's not PWP - there's actual plot and a fair amount of angst, humor and even occasional fluff, as these three messed-up kids figure out their complicated three-way relationship. Don't be put off if you're not a Jake fan - this story's converted some diehard anti-Jake readers.

Title: Chapter 14: Aftermath
Endless complications and ways to end up with permanent damage to the psyche, but still, the real feeling shines through between them. A threesome is such a bad idea, but I'm rooting for them anyway. Thanks for an excellent update.
Summary: 
Bella has a chronic case of aquaphilia. Jacob attempts to dress her like an Indian. Emmett can’t keep his hands to himself, and oh, yeah, Edward loses the gentleman in him and plays the Peeping Tom. There's a guh-nome, too. Rated for dirty talk, liberated ladies, and oodles of bad behavior.
Note the NC-17 label. Just because the cover graphic is cute doesn't mean the story isn't kinky.

So very sweet at the end, but the Victoria flashback just makes me tense. Even though I already know it will end badly between them, I don't want it to.
I really, really love this story! Author's Response: Oh, Victoria. *sigh* She is actually is sorta the point of this story. Sorta. Like, besides Edward Bella awkward-silly-kinkiness... hehehe. Thanks for the review! Next chapter should be fun and not too emo. But, bah, everytime I try to get to a plot point in the story, gnomes and Emmett seem to slip in... but I think that's okay too. Hehe. Done now.

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Sharing is Caring
Hmmm. Lyrical, whimsical, tragical (just go with it) and comical all together in one sweaty, wet hormonal cocktail. Impressive!
I love that you treat Leah with sympathy, but let her still be bitchy. She has every right. I really hated how she got the shaft in SM's books. Imprinting, my ass! Sounds like the kind of lame bullshit real-life cheaters come up with. Ha! Looking forward to Edward & Bella's resolution (that's what I'm calling it today). Author's Response: "Imprinting... Sounds like the kind of lame bullshit real-life cheaters come up with."
You made me laugh - cuz it's soooo true. And I love Leah. The "resolution" will occur - as to when, well, I'm going to have to much fun writing the Turkey Day chapters.

Sad to see it end, but I'm looking forward to the outtakes! This was one of the most original and beautifully written pieces of fan fiction I've come across. Not to repeat myself, but genius springs to mind.
Oh and hey sometime (toeing carpet) if you have nothing to read (laughs at own joke) maybe look for my story and let me know what you think? It's called Something Stupid, but it isn't I swear. Maybe a little, but in the good way. :)
Summary:
 What if the wolf pack hadn't interrupted Laurent before he bit Bella? This is the story of Bella being changed despite Edward leaving her to prevent it from happening.
Rated for later chapters. Just like in New Moon, Edward will make an appearance eventually!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Reunions, Part II
Laura, I just found this and read it beginning to end (so far) in one sitting. I was already reading "The List" and love that one, but this is even better. I love the premise that Bella was changed while Edward was gone and them meeting again as "equals". But there are a million great premises out there and they're nothing without great execution. I love the way your writing flows, the distinct voices of your version of the characters that ring true to the originals, and the very genuine and earned pathos. In short, it's freaking good!!!!
On the personal side, sorry to hear you've been sick and hope you're feeling much better. And best of luck with the Amazon contest. I'm in the same boat with a completed novel making the rounds. It's a nerve-wracking and excruciatingly long process isn't it? That's why fan fiction is so fun to me--immediate feedback!!!
Can't wait to read more from you. Thanks! Paige
Author's Response: Hi Paige--thanks so much for your thoughtful review! I really appreciate it. I would love to hear more about your novel!
Summary: 
Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...
Story contains mature themes and is not intended for younger readers.

Very sweet, very dirty and done with only the absolutely necessary crude euphemisms for genetalia: I liked this one a lot! And it's nice that Bella and Edward are doing their part to support the sexy panty industry in these trying economic times. Author's Response: Ha! Yes, I think the Cullens do their part in general! Especially Alice! But Edward and Bella are glad to help too!

Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Weekend, Part I
I just sent a review and it said I wasn't authorized so I guess I timed out of the login reading this fantastically long chapter! :)
Anyway, what I said was: Due to your abilty to weave together the emotion and the eroticism and the vampire aspect, I didn't have any problem whatsoever with the blood/period angle of the chapter. In fact, it was freaking HOTTTT!
I loved the reveal of Bella's tattoo and the 'almost' up against the window when they first came into the suite. Any chance they might finish what they started there sometime during the weekend? For me? =D
Paige Author's Response: Hi Paige--you wrote my 1500th review. That is incredibly insane!!!!! So glad you liked the way I tried to weave those facets of their relationship together--that was exactly what I have been aiming for. Glad that made the blood angle work for you. Yes, the window...the window was yummy...and then the knock on the door. You know I had to get y'all worked up a little before anything was really going to happen! I'm not making any promises, but just know the window continues to hold my interest...!

Thank you, thank you for the satisfyingly long chapter! So hot, and so sweet.

And I have to apologize for doubting you: I was thinking you forgot that Edward had written in a list item. But I should've known better!
Still loving this story!

Title: Chapter 14: Love Stinks
Am I really hatefully mean to say I enjoyed Edward's downward spiral? He's been such a egotistical patriarchical, condescending, self-aggrandizing dumbass (I ran out of 25 cent words) that I want him to suffer a bit. If he and Bella had ended up together on his terms it would've been a parent/child, teacher/student dynamic and that's, well, icky. At least if gets broken down and she builds herself up they'll have a reasonable place to start from. (I hope :) )
One thing: How did she end up living with Rosalie? I'm confused on that one. Thanks for another great chapter!! Author's Response: We'll get ther est of the Rosalie story in the next Bella POV. And you don't seem to be alone. Lots of people seem to enjoy E down. Surprised the heck out of me.
Summary: Bella Swan moves cross country to take a teaching job, trying to escape the man who broke her heart. Edward Cullen is the school's music teacher with secrets of his own. Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together trying to work through their issues and unexpected feelings for each other.

I was disappointed at first that these were outtakes and not a chapter of the 'real' story, but I really enjoed them! And it is a great idea for Bella to get a little dating experience under her belt (figuratively, of course) before she dives in with Edward the Intense!

Excellent writing, obviously, or I wouldn't care that he's being a huge tool, right?
Run, duck & hide if you must but take your laptop and keep writing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I have a Don't Ask/Don't Tell policy on age. :)
For the chapter: I love Bella getting closure with Jacob, whether he's getting it or not. But I am so anxious for Edward to get his head out of his ass and make things right. Has the man never heard of balance? Of not caving to peer pressure? I don't think Bella has given him any reason to believe she would be less than 100% supportive of his career.
That said, I continue to love this story hard. Thanks again.
Paige Author's Response: Thanks for the bday wishes! Edward's not used to thinking about other people. He's been fairly solitary and these are all things he needs to work on, especially if he wants to win Bella back. I see some head removal in the near future.
Summary: When Bella is "stolen" from the Cullens backyard (or so the Cullens think), will Edward ever be able to get his beloved Bella back? Or will Bella have found her happily-ever-after somewhere else?

Ever since she can remember, Christmas has been full of strange Edward-related complications that remain unresolved year after year. Last Christmas, it seemed like their strange affair had finally ended. Bella is keen to resolve her "relationship" and move on with life.

I went over to fanfiction to read the rest of the chapters available, but I am not registered there, so I'm reviewing here. This is really heartbreaking and funny and beautifully written. This may sound strange but I was having a really rotten day and your story made me cry and that made it better. Your Bella is a mess, but I love her even though she has no self-respect where Edward is concerned. The jury in my head is still out on your Edward. He has some serious splaining to do before I pass judgment. I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment! Author's Response: Aw, thanks for reading. Reviews like this make me happy :) There are actually edward related revelations in the next chapter if you're reading at ff.net!
