I really liked this! It was interesting to read your take on how Edward feels during one of my favorite scenes in the series. Poor Edward is always brooding. But it's nice for him to realize just how Bella feels, and reading the devotion he has for her warms my heart. Great job!
Author's Response: Hi there, so you have found me! Yes, my take of the night of tears is different from how other authors see it. I see it as a moment of deepening and maturing of their relationship. Thanks a lot for the review.
Reviewer: leeseeq (Signed) · Date: September 16, 2010 10:18 PM · On: Chapter 1
I loved the idea of this series very much, I'm so glad you're doing it! It's amazing how you captured so many of my same exact feelings and thoughts on Edwards's maturing and epiphanies and put them into words! For example the scene where Bella is crying after saying good-bye to Jacob. I thought too saw it as her finally seeing the enormity of the human experiences and life she was giving up. I imagined that she was crying for her parents, etc. I always thought Edward had the emotional depth necessary to understand that. I love Edward's character and love to see him mature through the course of the books. I'm always a little surprised that many authors don't envision/percieve this process in their writing of Edeward. Even though I do love something about the angsty Edward, I love even more to see him finally come to terms with some of his own inner issues and be at peace. It is like sunshine in my heart!
Author's Response: Ha, I took a short holiday from drafting The Parachutist´s sequel (still not ready to be submitted) and I wrote Heartbroken, a two shots that I just sent to the beta reader. It should be ready for submission in a couple of weeks. It takes Edward and Bella on Isle Esme, after the night in the Blue Room. Edward has finally come to terms with his sexuality and will share with Bella something nobody knows ... It is still in Canon, however and fits with the growth series.
Just look for it, a short time for now, if yuo think you want to read it . And thank you for reviewing!
Reviewer: leeseeq (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2010 03:33 PM · On: Chapter 1
I agree with your assesment. I think Edwards thoughts and feelings were more like this then the pure angst and misery that many other authors have written. Although I think he would have felt SOME angst and self-doubt over all of it I think of him as a lot more emotionally mature than many authors have written him. I love him for that. Great insights:)
Author's Response: And I love him too. Thanks for the review. One very funny thing happened to me this week: I am going to become a grandmother in December (first grandchild) and the proud parents have decided to call the baby boy Jacopo, which is the Tuscanized version of Giacobbe, which is Jacob in English. And me soo Team Edward!
Cheers

not bad i think you explain how edward felt considering the rest of us are still tryin to figure him out lol
Author's Response: I wrote this story in reaction to other authors thinking that Edward shattered after the night in the tent (i.e. "Atlas shrugged", and others.) I believe he grew and matured and even more after the night of tears. His last crisis was during Bella's pregnancy, with some justification . He was "A man at last" during the confrontation with the Volturi (I have an one shot of the same name in Carlisle's POV).
Thank you so much for the review.

This was one of the best stories I have read, I agree with your unterpretation of Edward whole heartedly. Thank you!
Author's Response: What a nice review to wake up for! (In Italy is morning now). If you have time, I'll be so happy if you read some of my other stories and tell me your opinion. Thank you

You know...I really like this. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Edward's angst in many a fanfic (as long as there's ultimately a HEA, lol), but this is a nice, refreshing change. It's also, I think, really nice insight that would perfectly explain his calm and lack of anguish over what could be seen as Bella's betrayal. It also paints Bella's actions in a better light than SM herself did. Nice work!
Author's Response: This short story, with a couple others, helped me to fix in my mind Edward carachter and personality. In the long story I am currently posting The Parachutist (AU with vampires) , I hope I got him right. I don't know if you are reding it and you like it. Otherwise, give it a try ..
Tnaks a lot for the lovely review review.
Reviewer: glitteratiglue (Signed) · Date: January 26, 2010 02:10 AM · On: Chapter 1
That was fantastic - beautifully written. You write very descriptively and make excellent visual pictures. Frankly, it was a lot better than my oneshot dealing with similar subject matter. I was very impressed by this, I think you did an excellent job with the characterisation of Edward, his thoughts seem believable. x
Author's Response: Thank you so much. You, like me, see Bella's tears as healing, a step forward for both. Other writers did not get it. All in all, I see Edward following a path to maturity and redemption, which is the whole point.
Happy writing
Reviewer: the mom (Signed) · Date: January 21, 2010 10:53 AM · On: Chapter 1
Hello Camilla, I have just discovered your work and I want to thank you for your writings, I thoroughly enjoyed them. I am particularly astonished that English is your second language. I lived in South America for 18 months in the early 1980s, and I would never presume to have the ability with my second language to write a piece of fiction! Please write something about Esme-she's my favorite Like her I survived a disastrous first marriage, then later made a good marriage and raised my husband's children with him. I can identify with her ability to love and mother children, and I'd love to see your take on her. Good luck and keep the good work up. The Mom
Author's Response: Hi to you! I think I have read some 5,000 or more novels in English in 30 years, and I worked for an organisation that needed me to go to conferences abroad and to write in English reports and the like. It all poured out when I read Twilight and was stunned. Presently I am posting The Parachutist (AU, not AH, I don't do AH. Please give it a try, it is my darling baby. the story happens in the past but I kept the characters in Canon, I hope). In the sequel, that I am just starting to write, there could be space for Esme. In fact you gave me an idea ...
Thanks a lot for the review
Reviewer: lolaphilologist (Signed) · Date: January 05, 2010 04:53 AM · On: Chapter 1
I really like this different take on Edward's thoughts. It makes more sense this way!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review. This story took a long time to be written and I did three different drafts. But really helped me to understand Edward personality.
Now with the long story I am currently updating (The Parachutist) I hope I am offereing a portrait of Edward (who becomes a vampire at mid story) which is in canon, even if it is an AU story set in a different historical period.
Monster and man, killer and protector, creature of the night that becomes angelic under the sun, darkness and light, feral predator and tender lover …

Great job on this! I always try to check out stories of my reviewers... I find that often people who like my work end up writing in a style that I would enjoy as well and it's a great way to find new stories.
I liked this journey into Edward's mind. I've always questioned what he could have been thinking during those hours and I think this did a good job of explaining it. I especially enjoyed the analogy you made to two knights vying for the attention of one lady.
Author's Response: Hi you, happy that you liked it ! Among other things I believe that Twilight is a story of redemption and spiritual growth. As fo the two knights, well they both a two noble characters, aren't they?
Happy writing and happy new year

Reviewer: foxy100 (Signed) · Date: November 01, 2009 07:28 AM · On: Chapter 1
what can i say?
Beautiful Story. Love it love it love it. I read one story where edward was a broken man after what happened. And as I read it i was thinking this is not Stephenie Meyer's edward. So thank you. you captured the edward we know, SM's Edward. I think that while bella was crying, as much as it hurt edward, he was reflecting on everything that happened. thinking about his mistakes and how he could have done things differently. No doubt regretting his decision to leave her in new moon. Edward and bella both came out strong. bella more mature and edward wiser.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. This is the kind of review that makes on proud. I too stumbled on Edward-broken-man stories and was very disappointed. SM Saga is a story of growth. Both Edward and Bella mature and are better persons at the end. I don't know if you read the other two one shots I wrote addressing this matter (The Unicorn in the Blue Room and A man at last). If you haven't , maybe you will like them. Now I am applying my efforts at understanding the two characters to the very long story I am posting; The parachutist. It is AU with vamps, but, I hope, still in Canon as psycology goes..
Reviewer: eiroltan (Signed) · Date: October 23, 2009 08:18 AM · On: Chapter 1
quite ok but i was expecting more intensity of his point of view... keep it up!
Author's Response: This is an oneshot, so what is done is done. It felt intense to me. Of course, one improves with time. I don't know if you have seen the story that I am presently posting: The Parachutist. It will be quite a long one. For the moment Edward is human, and reasonably happy (well, he is his usual guilt ridden, chaste and pensive self), but later on he will become a vampire. I promise you tons of intensity and angst, before he finds his human love again...
Thank you for reviewing. Twilighted net is so full of fantastic new stories coming every day that the old ones (like the ones I posted in the past months) lie forgotten. If one is taken out of the shelf and read, it makes me so happy...
Reviewer: foxy100 (Signed) · Date: September 26, 2009 11:51 AM · On: Chapter 1
i agree with you 100%. This is fantastic. I believe the night bella was crying in his arms he was doing a lot of thinking and maturing. did you read midnight sun you seem to know his mind so well.
or do you have his ability to read thoughts as well.
I really enjoyed.
Author's Response: I am so glad. Thank you for the kind review. I did read MS and, since I was not sated, I wanted more and more, I started surfing on the internet, and eventually discovered fanfiction, where some authors wrote beautiful, inspiring stories. Eventually I started writing myself, a older Italian woman who had written in English only press releases and similar things... Some of my stories are adventorous, one way or another, but 3 of them are an attempt to to go deep into the psycology of Edward and Bella. One is Epiphanies. The others, if you care to have a look, are A man at last and The unicorn in the Blue Room.
Reviewer: blackjacklily (Signed) · Date: August 21, 2009 01:52 PM · On: Chapter 1
This was an amazing look into Edward's head. It was extremely well written and as the reader, I had no trouble seeing through Edward's eyes. I think you captured the mind and spirit of Edward in a way only rivaled by Stephenie herself.
Thank you for a fantastic glimpse into Edward's mind!
Author's Response: Well, I am so in love with Edward that I wanted to possess him somehow. This was one attempt to do it. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing
Reviewer: Saturday-Savior (Signed) · Date: August 02, 2009 05:35 PM · On: Chapter 1
i have read a lot of epov and yours by far is at the top of the list...
Author's Response: Well, you are my Monday Savior... Thank you! Now I go on writing my current story with more confidence....
Reviewer: Beckylady (Signed) · Date: July 27, 2009 03:37 AM · On: Chapter 1
Beautifully done. It is always good to see Edwards POV and this one, believe, is true to Edward's character and is indeed a step in his personal growth.
Author's Response: Thanks a lot for the appreciative review. I put all that I had in this story.
By the way, Edward’s PoV is relatively easy in a case like Epiphanies, because he is just recounting his experiences, but it becomes hell in a story with a lot of dialogue and interactions. In this case you have to write the dialogue and then add what people is thinking around him. Certainly it does not help an easy flow…A writer’s nightmare. I am attempting it in the story I am currently writing (The Parachutist). I hope to manage and admire a lot those who are doing it.
Reviewer: edward_bella (Signed) · Date: July 22, 2009 09:49 AM · On: Chapter 1
This was good too:) I like your take on Edward's new maturity. I agree that he must have felt this way, considering how Eclipse ended!
ebhg:)
Author's Response: Thank you very much. Presently my challenge - as I am writing AU stories - is to have an Edward consistent with the character developed by Sthepenie Meyer, albeit finfing himself in different circumstances
Reviewer: AmberrrJune (Signed) · Date: July 18, 2009 08:13 AM · On: Chapter 1
Eros and Psyche, what is that?
Great job with this story, I think it fits Edwards personality very well, and everything flowed nicely as it didn't clash w/ the original.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review.
Eros (Son of Aphrodite) and Princess Psyche, or Cupid and Psyche is the most enchanting love story in all Greco-Roman mythology. Just google it and read. In my story, first chapter already in the queue, I retell it briefly in the first chapter.
I have used it as a pretext of a sort, to give Bella a hint about what to do when Edward and all the other Cullens abruptly disappear. Starting with the statue by Canov,a the image of the immortal lovers triggers a memory "I know how it feels, to be loved by a marble god...) and then a non-dream that makes Bella think that she should somehow follow Psyche steps to find her lover again....
Reviewer: edwardbellaforever (Signed) · Date: July 18, 2009 01:50 AM · On: Chapter 1
There are many EPoVs done out here, yet few authors even understand what Edward is all about, let alone capture the essence of his characters in one-shots. He is not some jealous, possessive boyfriend.He is a patient, understanding lover who adjusts himself according to Bella's needs and Eclipse was about that metamorphosis.
His whole world is Bella, so when Bella falls in love with his rival, that rival becomes his ally, when Bella demands of him the one most dangerous thing she could ever ask for, he works towards giving that to her.
You managed to get all this across in such a beautiful piece of writing and in such subtle ways! This is definitely one of the best EPOVs done for Eclipse! It is sweet and SO Edward! Love it !
Author's Response: What can I say? You made my day (albeit it is night already in Italy). I desperately wanted to get him right and you tell me that I managed to do it.
Now I am struggling with an Edward who is a human American soldier in 1943 and will become a vampire in Italy in 1944 (What where the Volturi doing in 1944?). The challenge is to have him true to character, to imagine how he would be with a completely different experience and previous life. And the same applies to Bella, who will be a persecuted Jewish girl.
I do hope I'll be able to write an AU story with Canon characters. We will see
Thanks so much for the review
Reviewer: Master of the Boot (Signed) · Date: July 14, 2009 11:15 AM · On: Chapter 1
I remember editing this for you ages ago, but I've truly forgotten what a good read this is.
I've seen many stories that attempt to go into the mind of Edward, but none do so as effectively as you can.
Everything so simple and direct, there is no dilly-dally. You strike to the very heart of the matter, viewing briefly the other layers but never actually seeming to skim. Every word in this chapter seems to be chosen deliberately.
For me, this entire story was an epiphany, a revelation into the thoughts of a complex and nuanced character. Truly, I loved this story. Your analogy of the two knights was to die for.
I'm won over a thousand fold. I can't wait for Eros and Psyche, that'll be an even greater pleasure.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'll start submitting Eros and Psyche next Tuesday when I am back in Rome; Cross fingers
I will come back to you for a couple of gory/non gory details about the parachutist if I may

This was brilliantly done. I agree that Edward was thinking these things exactly as you had written them. I enjoyed reading this story immensely. It was excellent!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. It took a lot of time to be sure of it (and I owe to my editors) but I am so glad it came out well

Author's Response: Thank you; Very few authors have dealt with this part of Eclipse (they mostly do NM and BD) in Edward POV, while for me it was a crucial passage to Edward's growth, so I felt it was needed...
