Omg, that chapter was BRILLIANT!
Holy cow, Bill is such a player in this. Ha ha, I'd be pissed too.
You have GOT to update this more often! Can't wait.
Author's Response: Thank you xDD I'm trying to be more consistant with all my updates. Pinky swear! =3
Date: 02/08/10 08:44 pm Title: Man Oh Man
You haven't lost me, I promise!! Sorry, I've been super busy with writing this fanfic I've been working on for like... a year, and I'm really, really bad when it comes to updating. I have some really pissed off reviewers, lol. When I say that I'm bad at updating, let's just say that I haven't updated in about 4 months... yeah. I suck.
I've also been auditioning for shows and writing my own music AND working AND doing the school thing AND finding a new apartment. I've been a busy, busy girl.
But I digress -- no, you haven't lost me, and I have not forgotten about you :).
I'm going to skip around with answering questions; my thoughts will be more cohesive in that way :D.
1. First of all, tres hot (I know, I'm super classy) -- the kiss, that is. I love how you describe Bill's lips as "plush" (the word is fun to read, and kind of sexy to speak/whisper aloud. Try it. ...See? lol), and the bit about sugar tasting bitter in comparison to his kiss was an interesting comparison I haven't heard before -- which is good; I can only take so many cliches before I want to beat my brain in. Or turn off my computer. Or maybe just pout. Anyways...
The bit following the kiss? Not so hot. I could feel Ally's panic through your writing, and I could picture the scene/situation so easily (well done, you!). And when Bill ignored her afterwords? Well, I'm not too bummed about it, and here's why:
If Bill was a complete dick-tastic butterball nut-face (that was the worst insult of my life, I apologize for even writing it... and keeping it! Why am I not deleting this?!), then he either would have nonchalantly teased her about the kiss or ignored it in a cool-guy kind of way. Like, "I know it happened, you know it happened, and I don't give two shits about it. Look at how awesome I am -- I could go to school in a dress and people would still jump my bones!" If he had teased her in a nonchalant sort of way, then it would mean that he just sees her as a toy he can rile up and ignore later. The fact that he kind of made it a big deal (looking everywhere but her, being uncharacteristically silent, et cetera) -- well, I take it as a good sign. Plus, he's a boy, and boys are stupid. He's also kind of a girly boy who hasn't had a girlfriend in a long time, so he's REALLY stupid when it comes to girls. So... he's just really, really stupid. That's all. And that can change :).
4. The flirting and goo-goo-eyes and number-scoring? Well, here's what I think:
a. He's decided that Ally doesn't have deeper feelings than friendship for him, so he's trying to move on so that he can free up her romantic-social life. (especially since she's always calling him a girl, and that doesn't exactly inspire too much confidence in a romantic pursuit)
b. He's a total douche-master and enjoys playing with Ally's feelings (super unlikely, but it makes the other options seem better in such sad, sad times).
c. His bruised ego finally needs a stroke or two from a pretty-handed Barbie Princess -- something he's not getting from Ally.
d. He wants to prove that he's man enough to flirt. Maybe make Ally jealous?
Or maybe it's a combination of several of those. I can write out more theories, but this review is already going to be super long and I can't do that to your poor eyes (or my poor fingers, lol).
2. If I was always called man-ish, I'd get defensive too. Especially if it was by my best friend (who I might be in love with -- but only time and your fingers will tell us if that's true, heh)... It's like how jokes made at someone's expense are only funny to the people who are NOT being made fun of, and it's only tolerable (and never really funny) to the person being teased for a little while. Bill's been called gay, girly, feminine, and mistaken as a girl for YEARS by thousands (if not millions) of people. It's been published in magazines, in interviews, gossip blogs, tabloids, et cetera. That kind of hurt can only be internalized for so long, especially for a straight guy in the limelight. Guys are super sensitive too, and I'd have lost my temper WAY sooner than Bill did, especially with my best friend.
3. She was totes FOR REAL jealous. I could feel the jealousy bubbling up from within, giving me a stomachache and sinking my heart like a stone. Poor Ally; it's too bad she and Bill are such pansies about the kiss thing. For all he knows, she was avoiding it because she was like, "Ew, what did I do?!" And Bill's just confusing the crap-ola out of her. I'm rambling. Sad beans.
5. Ah, so now it all makes sense; there are no take-backs in the game of life, no matter how much we wish there were (though I'm sure Kasmir is just fine with how things turned out). A reunion is most def. in order :D.
I'll drop in again within the next few days to read and review your crackfic and ADITM :).
Sorry to make you wait, chica! Great chapter, and I look forward to your next update!
p.s. Thanks for the shout-out -- always honored when you and other authors like and remember my reviews :).
- Ammi
Author's Response:
Holy guacamole, she lives! xDD
Sad beans? Oh no! Don't be sad. Be a can of happy beans! And just...wow that actually sounds more retarded than it did in my head. You may have noticed, I tend to spazz on updates and ramble (quite often) too. Lol, I know where you're coming from .
Don't stress, though, I get it. Life gets in the way. And whoa, what a busy life it is! It's just fantabulous to hear from you chickadee! I miss you and your reviews and thoughts. They make me feel smart even though I'm completely brain dead at the moment and jinxed myself with the whole 'coming down with something' comment. Either that, or I have psychic powers...which, knowing me, isn’t likely. So yup, I'm convinced I just jinxed myself.
1) I must confess, I laughed sooo hard at that insult. Actually, I laughed/giggled (not that I'm all that proud to admit I giggled, but in all honesty, I so did.) throughout the entire review. I even tried to say it out loud a couple times--all attempts ended in total failure which made me laugh even harder. I am so glad you kept it ;) And Omg, up until now I never noticed how fun it is to say "plush" aloud. Rofl!
4) I think I would have to pick e. I could tell you, but you'd prolly rather read and find that out yourself ;)
2) Yes, in time my fingers will magically sort out all that’s in here (taps noggin') and put it out for all you guys' enjoyment here (taps laptop, accidentally presses button and backspaces). Oops. hehe.
5) It's settled then. A reunion between Ally and Kasmir will take place soon ;D
*huggles* Missed ya chica. I'll try getting the next update out real soon!
Date: 02/08/10 08:10 pm Title: Man Oh Man
I really do love this story. And yay something extreme happened finally! I'm excited. Poor Ally. I look forward to more, buttercup.
Author's Response: O_O I now feel like watching There's Something About Mary. Rofl. So very happy you love x3 Makes me feel all special! I'll try my best to get the next chapter up soon. Hopefully you're doing the same...I kind of HAVE to know what's up with Tom. I've got tons of theories but thus, they are just theories that have yet to be proven or discredited. So update woman!...puh-weez 83
I'm sorta-politely pushy like that. ;]
Date: 02/08/10 07:47 pm Title: Man Oh Man
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! :D
Author's Response: Thank you! xDD
Date: 02/08/10 07:05 pm Title: Man Oh Man
that was awesome...but i was really pissed at Bill when he was flirting with that bitch!! ugh!!! how could you do that to Ally?!?!
well...as long as this story has a happy ending between Bill and Ally...you're totally forgiven. just remember....HAPPY.ENDING.
^_^
Author's Response: What? Me? I didn't do anything! The characters have a life of their own and get into their sticky shit themselves. They merely force my fingers to type up their biddings...LOL. Don't stress about it too much. We've still got quite a long ways before the end. ;D
Date: 02/08/10 06:28 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
1. the spider theme does work hahaha
2. i was actually wondering whats up with bill and his attitudes lol
3. yea i noticed georg is like invisible too! XD
4. this chapter was fine i definately loved the way bill was pulling of the whole couple thing it gave me goosebumps ahha i hope i see more of that
5. cant wait for the update! :)
Author's Response: Lol, there will be more of Bill pulling off the whole couple thing and soon ;D pinky swear xDD
Date: 02/04/10 03:34 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
1. Bill sounds like me... xD though i would have fainted from the size of that spider... i do the same thing for the itty bitty ones xDDD
2. Um, honestly? I don't think he's PMSing... I think he's in the same situation as Ally... he's sitting there thinking "Damn why isn't your shirt disappearing?!?!" xD yup yup... honestly i was half expecting Ally to let her eyes wander again and find a tent pitched in his pants =x
3. Eh... Georg is a fairy princess and he has to leave often to rule his fairy kingdom of pansies... i swear i want to photoshop a pic of him some day with a wand and sparkly wings and a tutu... o-o
4. I loved the chapter.. i fuckin love this fic... i was excited to see a new chappy xDDD which is why i'm hoping you'll put them out a bit more frequently? maybe? -hopeful expression-
But yeah... Tom should get a gigantic zit on his gigantic forehead... only because i have one right now and i NEVER get acne so it's pissing me off >_< ummm... I also want to see Andreas get punched... is that bad? xD okiez i'll stop now but i LOVED it can't wait for the next chapter
Author's Response: I dont wanna give much away, so I'm commenting most on number three. You HAVE to do it!!! And when you do, you've gotta send me a link or something because I am dying to see that. DYING! The mental picture alone is killing me. LMFAO! I'll try my best to resume posting chapters more frequently. As for the whole zit thing...I LOVE it! I am soooo going to use that. I'll be sure to credit you for the idea, of course! ;D Oooh trust me, Andreas WILL get punched, hard, smack-dab in the face...at some point. I'm still figuring out the when. The why and who'll punch him have been decided since...Well I can't say or else I'll probably end up giving away something important and I'm sure you'd rather read and find out yourself. Just trust me, I've been thinking it for a lonnngggg time ;)

OH MY SWEET BABY JESUS PLEASE UPDATE SOON
Author's Response: *Does army salute* Yes ma'am! xDD
Date: 01/27/10 01:03 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
oh mah gaaad i love this chapter...scratch that, i love EVERY fricken chapter. Ive read this one two times, and it hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet xD
pleeeeeeeeez update soonerr...the wait is killing me! ahahaha
Author's Response: xDD *huggles* I'll try my best to update real soon! I wouldn't want the wait to be too fatal, lol. I just finished the next ADITM chappy and sent it over to my beta so I'll be posting that ASAP =D
Date: 01/27/10 12:11 am Title: One Thousand Seas
I definitely LOVE the cutesy-bratty personality that you've given Bill. I just makes me wanna give him a hug hahaha ;)
I also love the things that go on in Ally's head, the little battles she has with herself and the way she feels about Bill. It's very entertaining, keeps me coming back for more. I'd actually be lying to you if I told you I didn't check for updates EVERYDAY hehehe XD
Anyhow, I love it and look forward to reading more! :)
Author's Response: I'm so happy you're lovin' the characters just as much as I am. Bill and Ally especially. They're so spunky and such fun to write! xD At the moment I'm working on updating all my other fics. But no worries, I should get the next chapter done soon too ;)
Date: 01/26/10 06:41 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
1. haha i totally feel Bill's pain. i hate all bugs, they have no use on this planet. i like the spider theme, it works for Bill
2. Bill's just weird like that, being related to Tom probably makes anybody crazy
3. Georg is just awesome like that! maybe he's a secret ninja
4. i thought the chapter was good. Ally just needs to act on her thoughts about Bill, i'm all for her pulling him by his jacket into one of the rooms and locking the door.
Author's Response: Rofl, Georg is totes a secret ninja ;] No worries, things between Ally and Bill are going to start heating up soon. First, I gotta bring in some drama and a smidge more confusion with glitter boy. Get ready for some pretty mixy signals that, of course, sparkle! xD
Date: 01/26/10 03:22 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
This chapter was so good and funny! I think that my whole family thinks i'm crazy when i laugh for myself in my room while reading this ;) Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: A little fit of temperary insanity is nice every now and again 8D. Lol, I'll try my best to update real soon. ;]
Date: 01/26/10 01:38 pm Title: The Abundant Fortune
I'm loving this! :D
Author's Response: Yay! xDD
Date: 01/26/10 11:54 am Title: One Thousand Seas
Hey,
1) That was really really funny, I proper rofled.
2) Was he going to kiss her in the corridor when she totally paniced, setting him in a pissy mood but at himself rather than her for attempting it?
3) Georg is sitting at the back just watching it all and laughing at how silly they're being :P
4) I liked it tbh, It's just you mate.
5) I like the billboard brow insult and I love that Ally just makes her own random ass words up :)
Author's Response: Hmm, it sure seems like it doesn't it? ;) Bill, Bill, Bill, what is going through your head you sparkly person? Lol. Thanks, I'm so happy you've enjoyed this chappy. x3
Date: 01/26/10 10:33 am Title: One Thousand Seas
The part with the spider was so cute
Author's Response: Glad you think so! xDD
Date: 01/26/10 06:16 am Title: One Thousand Seas
Finally! About time you updated, woman. I've been suffering withdrawls (: Perfectly well executed and hilarious as per usual... (:
Author's Response: I know! It's been an entire month since I last updated, I'm so sorry about that. But I tried to make up for it with the longest freaking chapter ever, lol. I'll be sure to update much sooner this time ;)
Date: 01/26/10 06:02 am Title: One Thousand Seas
Ok, for my first trick, i will throw that ass of yours into the bloody Nile because you are one crazy potential stalker. One more word of iffy-ness and I do it, I swear. 8)
I feel so special being mentioned and all LOL totes lobe you (:
I guess being twins and all, Bill must PMS too. I swear that boy even does my head in LOL
this chapter is the shizzzzzz. Amashing and you never fail to make me laugh.
I wish I could write more but even my fingers are sunburnt. I'm sure I'll rant to you about it later (:
Author's Response: B-b-buh-bu-bu-but I don't wanna go into the Nile! Alright, alright, I'll try to stop with the iffy ness. LMAO. You should feel special. Without you this chapter probably would not exist yet or ever, missy! You kept my head from exploding and listened to my constant bitching. ROFL I totes lobe you too =D. (Insert OHMYGOD/gasping face here) You're fingers are sunburnt?!!! Gosh, that forehead is such a bitch (insert stare face here)LOL.
Date: 01/26/10 05:32 am Title: One Thousand Seas
Oh my dear God. I thought my belly would crack with laughter! Fantabulous! I so enjoy every second of it! Your questions are apparently simple, but they aren't. I have some idea about Bill's PMSing, but I don't want to speculate on it, I'll just wait. Sometimes when you say the magic words, the magic goes away...Funny as hell! Your own signature style, definitely! Please write more!
Author's Response: Lol, like birthday wishes or wishes on a shooting star (or...airplane in this case, hehe). Thank you so much! xD I'm sooo happy you enjoyed. I've already got most of the next chappy outlined. So it shouldn't be that long before I update again. ;D
Date: 01/26/10 01:55 am Title: One Thousand Seas
i love this fic, is really funny, seriously, it makes me laugh a lot.
the spider was...i mean, there she goes, all brave and then she comes out shrieking like a baby....that had me laughing all night long.
please update soon. i may die for lack of this fic.
Author's Response: Lol, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Don't die on me! I'll try updating real soon. Pinky swear!
Date: 01/25/10 09:24 pm Title: One Thousand Seas
I really do love this story =]
The flow is nice although I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN BILL'S HEAD, ALREADY, DANG lol xDD
The spider thing made me spit out my water. It just brilliant, well done!
Author's Response:
Thanks chica!
Dude, I do not fangirl, ever. And still, I squeal like an idiot anytime you review my stuff. It's ridiculous, lol. Words cannot express my happiness, knowing you're loving this! xD Things with Bill will start to get pretty confusing but obvious at the same time...if that makes any sense at all. And if not, then it'll start to once I post the next chapter ;D
