Date: 05/13/10 08:47 pm Title: VII: You've Got More Than You Know
I just started reding this story, and I think it has true potential! I like how Tom and Bills relationship changes a little bit everytime they meet, and how they keep runing into eachoter. Berlin is a big city, it shouldn't be that easy..but then again, there might be something in what they say, that when you keep meeting people accidentally all the time, it's meant to be ;)
I'm really curious to see how it will all go down, though, if you get what I mean. Really, I can see Toms relationship going down the drain any day now, but Bill and Alfonses (that name crack me up everytime, seriously!) seem to be going more or less okay. So, they have their rogh moments (like when Alfonse deliberately goes agains Bills wishes *tsk tsk*, silly man), but all in all... Anyway, somethis big's bound to happen, I can feel it! :)
This is really a swwet story, and I can't wait for them to realize they're actually talking to each other on the internet! Who would have though, right? ;) Haha, I can already picture their shocked expressions... 'Cause it's gonna happen, right? ;)
Author's Response: Yes well, that is what you call hmm... Serendipity? *giggle* ~___~; hehe. Thanks for coming to read this story, and giving me your feedback! It's a bit embarrassing, but I get just so excited when someone comes along and reads this story, I've put a lot of effort in, and it warms me to know you think it has potential at all. (Which I had no confidence in, really)rn
rnAh~ *hides face* 'Alfonse' as a name makes you laugh? Fufufu, 'Alphonse' (the more common spelling) is one of my favourite names. Then again, I've never liked ordinary or common names, but I didn't know it sounded odd, sorry if it does. T__T huhu. I kind of figured that artists usually have funny names anyway then, different or exotic even. =Prn
Well I will do my absolute best to bring out a new update soon, so bear with me. Thank you so, so, so much for coming to read this story, taking the time to review and share your thoughts. And yes love, I'm sure at some point they'll find out what's been going on. Haha~

LOL, that last part was priceless. The image of Bill as a spy is too funny for words, but the image of Tom dressed all thug-like in a restaurant like that? Even better! *giggles*
Loved that Tom got to play the role of Bill's sidekick here. The dynamics of their relationship have really taken a big turn. I loved that Tom is wary of Alfonse, as well. I can't wait to find out what's going out with that. And with the heir business as well. I'll be looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Wonderful to read a review from you again today~~ I think Bill would make a cute spy. =X Ouuff, thanks for keeping up with this story! *big hugs*

I'm so happy you've updated :3
Gah, I just love your writing style and your metaphors, seriously you do the most amazing job.
Everything was abstract, it was just a simple exchange of ideas and feedback, someone who could give you opinions about life from a perspective so similar to your own and yet from an entirely different angle. It created a peculiar sense of security.
Perfect, I love that little summery, and how realistic it is, yet so over looked.
I have to say I was laughing at Tom and Gustav watching Bill have a diva strop, totally realistic, and captured perfectly.
And you have researched a lot with the will and beneficiaries because you have it down pretty well.
I love your injection of humor even behind the more angsty scenes, like poor Gustav been stood up, and Tom assuming the restaurant would think he was a gangsta. ahah.
I'll shut the hell up because i'm being a ~creep~ lmao.
Amazing story, I cannot wait for you to update again!
(it totally cut half my comment off >:()
Author's Response: Oh goodness... how do I illustrate how reading this review made me feel today? I literally clasped my hands together and grinned giddy-like. ~___~ No, no, you're not a creep at all. It brightened my day, thoroughly! If anything, I'm the creep. =__=;; Hehehe. Thanks for your sweet commentary, and your feedback, and your choice extracts from this chapter and everything. Thanks for reading darling! I'll do what I can to update soon.
Date: 05/11/10 04:37 pm Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
You've not updated this in so long, I've started recing it out to friends!
Such an amazing story, I love your style of writing and I hope you continue soon!
Author's Response: I'm so sorry! I've been writing for the last 1.5 weeks, I promise, it's just life has thrown a lot of curve balls at me lately and I've had little time to write consistently. I promise I'll update really soon, I'd never give up on this story. Anticipate the next update very soon. Thanks for reading, and your support darling, it's sweet of you! ^--^

i love your chapter sizes and flow :) and wow "pulchritude"? where are you from to use such proper words? hahah
Author's Response: Appreciate it. Ah - I don't think it has much to do where I'm from? (Canada if you must know) But more precisely, English and Lit class, both of which were strong subjects for me throughout school... I actually ended up taking extra advanced English courses before I graduated last year (not that I enjoyed it, ugh), I ended up shaping an extensive vocabulary during that time possibly? Perhaps it's too odd? O_o I've always been a little flamboyant with my writing language I guess. *Scratches head* Hope it's not troublesome. XD If so, I'll try and fix it, heh. ^^;;;*searches for a thesaurus*

Author's Response: I want to thank you with a full heart for reading and responding. Your reviews mean a lot, and it boosts my motive to continue with my story. Thank you so, very, very much. All my gratitude. (And yes, unprotected sex is always an issue, isn't it? XD)

Date: 04/19/10 06:30 pm Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
well i must say, i don't know what you're talking about when you say its lame and not good and stuff, i really enjoyed it :) cute and funny and a bit wistful as well, i thoroughly enjoyed this as a first chapter! now I shall read the second instead of studyyyyyyy ;_; haha
Author's Response: Thank you very, very much. Your support is appreciated. Oh, but please do make sure to balance your studies. I know how it is. Haha.
Date: 04/15/10 09:59 pm Title: VI: You've Got to Dress to Impress
I've just caught up on this story and I have to tell you that I'm really enjoying it a lot. Your language is so much different than anything else I've really seen on this site and it's definitely refreshing. You asked in your last author notes about the long chapters and I think they're great. I love having a long, healthy chapter to sink my teeth into. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate that you're writing this and posting it here and I very much look forward to more! :D
Author's Response: Really? Is it that unique? I'm happy to hear that! I hope it's not troublesome to read then. =P Ah, it is a real honour to have you write this kind review to me, and I'm ecstatic that you've enjoyed what I've presented so far - sometimes I lose hope on it, worried it won't catch eyes like flashier stories might. I'll definitely continue to write with your kind words in mind. Thank you! Long-chappies-ahoy!

My first review got erased, so here we go again *sighs*
I like this kind of shy and confident Tom, and I think that I´m gonna love jealous Tom XD (thatś funny, no? I love to write about jelous people but I hate to be one of them :S)
Anyway, as I said in an earlier chapter I love the way that you develope their emotions.
And... Ohh¡, beofre I forgetI hate Karla and ALfonse. Period.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you for taking time to re-review. I've also had that happen to me - I wrote a review, and when posted only half a line got published. T__T I'm glad you love the Tom I've developed~ ^--^ I work really hard on their thoughts and emotions, so of course I'm glad. LOL at you hating Alfonse and Karla, but that was foreseen; point taken. Thanks for reading, and I hope I can see you back soon! *clasps hands together hopefully*
Date: 04/14/10 01:55 pm Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
I haven't read it yet... *i had to comment on your intro first, haha* i'm about to and i think i'll like it, but how can you have You've Got Mail?! i HATE chick flicks and i LOVE You've Got Mail. It's funny and quirky, haha. Its one of the few 'chick flicks' i actually enjoy. I'm an action/adventure person (the only 'scary' movies i like are 90's thrillers liek Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, today's comedies are all TOO dumbed down so its not funny, just lame, and Romance movies have and always will be boring as hell)
ANYWHO OFF TO READ I SHALL COMMENT NEXT CHAPTER WITH A REAL COMMENT!
Author's Response: Oh! I dun'o, I just hate cheesy romantic comedies and whatnot. I'm much more a fan of stoner comedies or anything with hot leads, blood and/or mind games. I'm like, anything between American Pie, SAW, The Matrix and Silent Hill kind of thing, if you get the idea. Oh, Scream, such a classic. xD Yeah, I know what you mean about today's comedies, I have to be a bit more picky/choosy as of late, for sure. Romance movies put me to sleep. Since I prefer slash-romance anyway (be it guys or girls) it's a little hard to find anything remotely interesting. / So anyways, uhmmmmm.... even if you totally hate it (this story progresses pretty slowly), now that you're about to read it, I'm still so very happy you stopped by and dropped me a line. It's kind of you, really. Thank you! *glomp-hug*
Date: 04/13/10 10:23 pm Title: VI: You've Got to Dress to Impress
It was awesome! I loved it. Loved that Bill and Tom are so aware of the other already, still retaining all the same characteristics from the start. It's slowly building up, but I'm loving the pacing, even if I wished they got together already, heehee.
I don't really like Alphonse and I'm glad to see Bill doesn't seem to be liking him as much, either, much more concentrated on whatever Tom is doing than on her own boyfriend. *giggles* Loved that Tom wanted to show off and impress Bill more than the label execs, that was awesome! And I completely adored that Bill made the man interrupt Karla and Tom, hahahahaha! That was brilliant!
And now at least Bill is more open to the possibility of him and Tom being friends... maybe. ;) Woo-hoo! I'll be looking forward to more!
PS. Absolutely adore Jealous Tomi, so yeah, I'll be looking forward to that. ;)
Author's Response: ♥ ♥ ♥ Ah~ so you liked it! Yesh I know this is progressing kind of slowly, but in all fairness this was my indirect middle-finger towards the tons of stories I come across where the main leads go at each-other right of the bat stupidly. Life just doesn't work like that, y'know? I kinda just want to throw them at each-other while I'm writing it, too, but then there's not much point, IMO. xD I'm glad you're okay with it! rnrnHaha~ Yes Alfonse has his flaws, no doubt. I feel kind of bad, because I felt like anyone I created using the name 'Alphonse/Alfons/Alfonse' was going to naturally be someone perfect - it's just one of my favourite names and I had this girly little vision of perfection to follow with it. (I also decided it as a possible son's name, if I get the chance to have a son one day =P) But now that I've started to showcase his self-absorbed flaws I feel a bit guilty. Thankfully, it's worked, because you don't like him! Success, haha. rnrnThank you once again, as always for gracing me with your support and lovely review! rnrnAll aboard the Tom/Bill friendship-turned-love express, choo choo choo!

I really love the long chapters, personally. Love the detail you're putting into each of them. Hee, I just love how perceptive and frank Tom is, and how he much he threw Bill off with their conversation and then with how well he cleaned up. Seems Bill's relationship is cooling, what with his interest in Tom increasing. I'll be looking forward to more. :D
Author's Response: Okay, I'm glad. I can't imagine writing shorter chapters anyway, at least for this story. It doesn't seem to work otherwise. XD Tom and Bill fluffies for you~~~~ Thanks for reading!
Date: 04/09/10 10:19 am Title: V: You've Got to Sing Like No One's Listening
I enjoyed the chapter. It was really well written, and I love the fact that you take time to describe the transition in their emotions
Author's Response: Thanks! That is exactly what I'm aim for, specifically in this story! Thanks for reading, mate. b34; ♥
Date: 04/09/10 03:42 am Title: V: You've Got to Sing Like No One's Listening
Yay, I have the feeling that something is already going on between Bill and Tom!
Thanks for this great (long) chappie!
Author's Response: Thank you, love! ♥ It means a lot. ^--^

Hey, I just started reading this whole story, and I think you are too modest to yourself. This story is awesome so far!!! You describe everything very detailed, I love how there is a love/hate tension between Bill&Tom, and yeah.. it's just great!! Oh, and I really like the long chapters *grins*
Really, keep up the good work girl!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for reading. Your encouraging words are meaningful to me. Really. I like long chapters too - YAY FOR LONG CHAPTERS! *heart heart because this site won't let me use heart symbols* My strength is description, so I'm glad you found it satisfying in that regard. Please, do keep reading. Thank you, once again.
