I love jealous Tom too, can't waut to read more of that in the next chapters! I really liked this chapter, can't wait to see how their relationship will evolve!
Author's Response: Unfortunately I didn't get to really fit in jealous Tomi as much as I wanted to. D: Thanks for reading, you're awesome! ^^

Another long and excellent chapter, I love it!
Both of them are at the dinner thing, it's going to be interesting to read!
Bill's Master plan is so funny, he's really into it and it's adorable! I love this fic even more with every new chapter!
Author's Response: I'm really, really glad you're enjoying it! Completely. ^^

Please Tom, don't do it. I know it means thousands dollars but don't sell your soul. You have enough money.
Author's Response: D: Tom's always wanted to get into a nice company. (.___.) Thanks for all your comments! ^^

Yesss proud Québecoise :D Thank you, I’m working on improving my English tho, and reading fic is a great way to learn, plus it’s fun !
I LOVE long chapters! :) The Harry Potter reference was awesome, I’m a big fan but I kinda agree with Bill anyway! Also, I really enjoyed reading about their IM conversation! So funny and cool to read! I think it’s cute how Bill worried about Tom, even if they don’t know each other in real life... And omg, pregnant !? I didn’t excepted that !
It’s getting late so I’m gonna continue to read this tomorrow, can’t wait :D
Author's Response: I'm glad you like the long chapters, because well, at 98 thousand plus words with only 16 chapters, B,A tends to have winding chapters from hereon. ^^ Looking forward to more of your comments! :D

Awww.. I feel so bad for Tom, things aren't that great for him at the moment! Bill is so funny, I really like his character, the two of them working together should be interesting to say the least!
Author's Response: Tom never has it easy. D: ~~~ ^^

I just saw on your bio thing that you hate Dsquared and I'm curious... why?
Oh and I'm Canadian too (from Québec, that's why my English sucks)! Woot woot !
Now the relevant review for this chapter: I really like how you include those emails in your story, it's very different from what I'm used to read and it makes this fic original and interesting! This fic is funny too, the scene with Bill and his thank you speech was hilarious!
Author's Response: I ammmmm! - Canadian. ♥ Québecois?? :D I love Quebec~~~ I've been dying to return for a visit, but just haven't had the time. (Well, my French sucks, so we're even! Nah your English is good~~~ I wish I could speak French as well as you can speak English. D:
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the email theme, and it's good that you are liking it too. I always hated this chapter, I thought it had to be really awkward, but I'm still really glad you enjoyed it. I tried my best. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! ^--^
Date: 09/07/10 10:12 pm Title: I: You've Got a Beginning and an End
I'm so excited to read this fic! It's been a while since there was a featured story I haven't read yet so I can't wait to read this one, yay for new discovery :D I'll try to review every chapter, sorry in advance for my English, it's absolutely not my first language :P
I really like the first chapter, I enjoy your writing style, the characters and the plot so I'll definitely continue to read this fic! This is all very interesting and I'm glad to see that it's finished too, this way, I can read it all in one go and I don't have to wait for the ending :D
Congratz for being featured btw!
Author's Response: I'm so excited that you're going to read this fic! =P Your English is fine, what are you worrying about? =D Don't be self-conscious. Believe me, I didn't even speak much English until I was in kindergarten, and over the years I've really been able to work on it. Now look! I have to say I'm pretty good~ I'm sure your English is phenomenal, not all of us can handle one language nevermind two. :D
Thank you for giving it a chance, the first few chapters are a bit rough and random, but it tends to get more organised and more coherent the further in you get. It -is- finished, hurray! That is always nice, getting to read it all in one go. Well I won't stop you! =P
Thank you about the feature, I'm too excited and grateful for it. It's my first fanfic, and it's really not as great as it could be, but people have been ever so kind and lenient for me. It's an honour. Thanks for reading!

From one Canuck to another: my absolute favorite fic on the whole site!!!! I've got to check out your other work...
You're writing is so very honest and refreshing. Please keep it up!
Author's Response: Hahaha, hello there! O__O Wow I'm so glad you enjoyed it that much!! I'd be honoured if you read more of my work... :) At any rate, thanks for reading and reviewing! (-fellow Canadian. XD)~~ ♥

Wait, Tom's going to see Bill in his Pink Floyd Tshirt.
Author's Response: :D -gasp!- ^--^

Bill is stupid.
Author's Response: D:

I can feel the tension building between Alo and Tom. I have to admit that never really like Alfonse.
Author's Response: Haha, no one really does. Thanks for reading~~ ^^
Date: 09/06/10 09:01 pm Title: XII: You've Got to Realise Something's Gotta Give
I'm a little offended at the septum piercing comment.
You shouldn't care so much. It's his face so let him do what the fuck he wants to.
That aside this story is pretty boring.
Author's Response: I wasn't saying he wasn't allowed to do what he wants. I don't hate him for it, it's not like I revoked my fancard now he has it - however, I'm free to have and state my opinion, that being I don't like it, or septum piercings on the regular at all. I don't have to agree with every silly little thing Bill does, just because I'm a fan. I want to say I apologise for offending you, but I don't see the need to do so, as there really is nothing to be offended for.
I appreciate -your- opinion, being that you didn't like my story. However, if that was the case, you should have responded with constructive criticism - it's really unkind to just throw your scorn down without basis, it hurts to read that and I would've really liked to know -why-. I only can hope you're more positive towards others' works. (Not that I'm against stating and supporting opinions in reviews.) Anyway, it wasn't boring enough for you to read to chapter 12, and well, in any case many other people appreciated it for what it is. I'm sorry you didn't like it, I did my best.:)

Like Bill or Tom can even afford that restaurant.
Author's Response: D: Boo! n____n

Wow. Just wow. Honestly, this fic deserves more attention.
I've read the whole story in two days, and I'm not hesitant to admit that it has made me laugh, nearly cry, bounce and stomp my fist on my (poor, innocent little) desktop in all sorts of anticipation and giddiness and heartbreak for what your characters have gone through. The epilogue--I have to congratulate you for it. It's just, in my opinion, the best way for you to have ended this story.
Not to mention, the way you worked this plot was pretty effin genius. Original, witty, and guaranteed to fall into many people's hearts.
I seriously cannot see why you were so worried about your chapters when you posted them; your writing-style is BEAUTIFUL and you're a real author to be able to portray your plot and characters like this. (:
I hope to see more of you soon!
Author's Response: *bows* Such amazing praise, I'm unworthy. :) Your poor desktop, hope it can forgive me. xD I'm so happy you liked the ending! I thought it was too much, I tend to be the overdramatic, sappy romantic type, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Oh, gee, I thought B,A would be the most terribly bland story for most readers, because it worked slow, took it's time, wasn't flashy and all about the connection between the main characters. To know that some people found it charming, well, I'm impressed, thankful and relieved.
I know, I whine a lot about my (lack of) writing ability, I'm working on both improving in writing and improving in confidence. I'm extremely happy you liked what I've presented, and I want to thank you kindly for both reading, and your wonderful review. It made me smile. :)

Omg! this was amazing! I stayed awake through all hours of the night to finish reading this=] i couldnt get enough!!! oh! please do decide to write a sequel! this was phenomenal!
Author's Response: Why, thank you! That sort of dedication... I can't really be any more thankful. Haha, I'm not sure about a sequel, but we'll have to see if the stars align. Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
Date: 09/05/10 07:17 pm Title: XVI: You've Got Mail (And a Friend Who Loves You)
This was such a lovely story, really. I loved the tone of the whole piece, and while I actually adore "You've Got Mail" I was really happy to find this story took on a life of its own. So many people follow storylines too closely when they get inspired by movies/books/etc, but you've done an absolutely perfect job. I loved their emails, they were so insightful, witty, and fun... and I enjoyed both characters completely. What a lovely way to spend my afternoon reading this! Congrats on the feature, you deserve it!
Author's Response: (.___.) You truly think so? Mm, yes, well, when I'm inspired by something, I try to keep it just that - an inspiration. I believe, fanfiction or not, one must have -some- grasp of artistic integrity. If you follow someone else's work, line by line, character by character, I find it a shame when you could be creating your own worlds. Being my first fanfiction, I still found I relied even a little too heavily on already existing themes/movies, which has definitely changed now I'm more comfortable at my keyboard, but in the end, I think it still took on a life of it's own; for that, I'm thankful. :)
I'm, well, totally impressed you ended up reading it, but then, I'm still in shock that it had any kind of reception. I don't think I'll ever stop being hard on this fic, but like a stern mother, I think I secretly just love it to death, million and one flaws included. I was flabbergasted by the feature, honestly, utterly unbelieving that this of all pieces somehow was recognised enough to be put on the first page, and embarrassed as I was to have my very first incoherent, juvenile attempts at writing exposed so openly (haha), I'm so terribly honoured and grateful. Thanks for the feature, it's brought me a lot of joy and hope. Of course, as well, thanks so much for reading and reviewing! n_____n

I have to add: Tom in a suit, YAY!!!
Author's Response: Tom is a suit... well, that has to be the best image for my mind. :D Yum~
Date: 09/05/10 10:39 am Title: V: You've Got to Sing Like No One's Listening
Don't be so hard on yourself. This chapter is really important. It expresses the transition that currently happenning in the character's mind.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you. Don't mind all the whining I did in this story, I'm an insecure fool. XD Thanks again for reading!
Date: 09/05/10 02:18 am Title: XV: You've Got Something to Smile About
I couldn't do anything else today until I finished reading this entire story. Absolutely LOVED this, you're an excellent writer!
XD
Author's Response: Wow, thanks for being so enthusiastic! I love that you loved it, and I appreciate your review and praise. ^^ Thanks for reading!
Date: 09/05/10 01:01 am Title: XVI: You've Got Mail (And a Friend Who Loves You)
This story is so so so so wonderful, and I'm actually super bummed that it's over haha. You really should have more confidence in your writing, because it truly is very, very good. Like, really good. Incredible, even. :) Anywayyy, if you have any other fics, I'll definitely check them out. They'll probably be amazing too. Just sayin'.
Author's Response: I'm trying to. A little at a time, finding confidence is a journey! Wow, thank you for reading and your praise, which I'll take to heart. You're more than welcome to read anything I write, the pleasure is all mine. You're too kind, thank you! ^___^
