Hey NS, my story, The Estrel, I will try to notify you as soon as i begin posting. I didn't want to start posting chaps til it was done, otherwise i'd end up with an unfinished fic. It was just mind blowing to see the word "Estrel" in someone else's fic. I'm curious if we both came up with it from the same source. Let me know, yeah? btw, Tom as a police officer, yum. Someone else posted a fic called 'the price of protection' and Tom is a Policeman there too. i was really hoping for a visual of TK in police uniform, but no such luck. sigh. Officer Tom, arrest me!

Author's Response: Awesome, please do let me know :D I understand though, I did the same thing with my first fanfic, waited until I'd finished it before I posted. Lol, I've never been to Berlin, so I had no idea about the place, but I was desperate to set it in Germany, so I guess I cheated a little and went on Google Maps :D I was looking for a hotel with a strange name, and Estrel sounds (this is gonna seem really strange, please don't think I'm weird, lol) a little like a bird, so I connected it with freedom and liberty...and I'll stop talking now, lol. I did try to do a banner for this story, but I'm really, really bad with photoshop, and try as I might I couldn't get it to look good :( Aw, but I will concur with your last sentence...Tom, please arrest me too!!! I haven't read "price of protection", but I might look it up :) Lol, anyway, thank you so much, and please pm me when you post your story!! Thank you!!

You're very welcome, and this is...better than I could've hoped for. The whole civilian-doing-the-cops'-job-for-them made me think of The Boondock Saints. Anyway, I think everything is leaning towards Bill being the Berlin Slasher...and it would be really interesting to see how Tom would react to that. Also, Gustav seems just a bit stuck-up; he needs to be taken down a peg or two. Love this, need more, update fast, did I mention I love this? :)

Author's Response: Thanks much :D Yeah, Gustav is really stuck up, lol, I wasn't sure whether it was realistic enough though. I hope I can end it well enough...I thought of an ending, but I have yet to write it, so I just need to hope that I can keep up a good standard :) Thank you so much XD

OH MY GOD. You just gave me a heart attack. I'm working on a fic callled "The Estrel"!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH!!!! I'm enjoying your story tho!

Author's Response: LOL, that is pretty weird!! Have you posted it? Can I read? Thanks for reading and reviewing my story!!!

*dies dead* I would give you concrit if I had any to give. I am just in awe. Still, a cliffhanger. That's just cruel. Really hope you elaborate on Tom's relationships with Bill and Georg. And, this is random, but...you use the word "adjacent." Marry me? XD And update! Please? :)

Author's Response: Thank you again!! I know, I've been told by Nicole that I use cliffhangers too much, lol, I can't help it. They just seem to appear, LOL. I tried to build up Tom's relationship with Bill more than I did with Tom/Georg, but I'll be proof reading today before I update, so maybe I can elaborate a little more :D Oh, is it good that I used "adjacent"? XD *cyber marriage* lol, and thank you so much :) (and I use a lot of smiley faces, lol)

Owh... Okay so. Just so you know, I usually read any kind of stories, whatever it is, generally, I don't mind... I read every genre... but this. Seriously, horror details make me stiffen, not to mention that they won't let me sleep. Well, actually, those are horror or thriller movies, but still. Usually my favourite genre is Angst, Angst, Angst, tons of Angst, but yeah, I said I wouldn't let you down, so I'll read this all as well. ...I'll just have to remember that I don't have to take some snacks with me before reading, lol.

There's something that actually I've been wondering throughout the reading, ever since I saw the warnings. What does Gore mean? My vocabulary says that it means both "horn" and "blood" and I'm incredibly confused now. :S
I just want to know what's awaiting me and my poor nerves, lol.

Oh! I was well intrigued by that sentence, too, "loose lips sink ships". I don't know what that means, I've tried to translate it, but nothing out of all the things I've found makes sense. :S
LOL, I know, I suck.

Other than that, there's not really much I can say, because there's no Angst to comment, there are just facts, basically. I must say, though, I'm impressed by how easily you can shift from a genre to the other, you did perfectly both at Het and Gen. :)

Well... I can't really wait to see where this is going, I'm kind of intrigued. :)
Well done my dear (L)

Author's Response: Hey, sorry for the late reply, internet connection has been bad all day :) Sorry if it's not what you usually read, but I'm really glad that you're gonna read it anyway! *more cyber hugs* To compensate, I'll post a different one later that I've been working on too...it has both het and slash in, and it's been really fun to write! You said go for it with slash, so I did :D

Hmm...to be honest, I think the only difference between blood and gore is that gore is just more of it, lol. Apparently, gore as a noun just means "blood shed from a wound, especially when clotted", and as a verb it means "to pierce with a horn"...both of which kind of fit this. So your translation was right anyway :)

The phrase loose lips sink ships is an american phrase, used during the war. It basically means "don't give away any information that might help the enemy". It's all explained later on in this story, so hopefully *fingers crossed* it will make a bit more sense. And you don't suck at all!! It's awesome how you keep reading and reviewing my stuff!

I'm not sure about that angst thing. I might have to check it and see if it's the right genre. What I class as angst could wind up just being drama :S Hmm. Confusing :D

Well, anyway, thanks for reviewing again! I'm hoping to update this tomorrow...or maybe tonight if I can get it to work :D So, I'll see you then!!

P.s. my msn has gone funky. I've tried adding you, but I don't know if it's worked. Let me know :)
THANKS!!
