I'm so very disappointed you're not finishing this anymore. This has such great potential and we never got to see them together. I wish you'd change your mind.

Estricnina,
I've just entered the site looking for your fic to read it and the discontinued title just hit me ;__; it's quite a shame, I really liked it... I think you know femmeslash is not a frequently visited category. I hope you post it again or something because here you have a reader wanting to read it!

I wasn't sure about reading this one. But I'm glad I did. I'm still having some trouble picturing the boys as women, but hopefully that will come easier in following chapters? Reading on... :) :) :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you did too. Haha, some do have difficulties and I understand, even if it is really easy to see the boys as girls! Thanks for reading and reviewing, so very appreciated. :)

Great chapter! I'm looking forward to reading about Belle and Tomme going to that club together XD

Another amazing chapter. I love Georgia in this so far XD The more I read this, the more disappointed I am in myself that I haven't already read this before!
Author's Response: Georgia is my favourite. n____n Don't worry, I think many tend to avoid this story for a variety of reasons. That you started reading it made me very happy though! :)
Date: 02/28/11 07:34 am Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
Just started reading this, and I have to say, it's fantastic so far! But then again, everything you write is fantastic, so this is really no surprise. I'm definetly looking forward to getting all caught up with this. XD
Author's Response: Ahhhh it's been soooo long. T_____T Hope you're well. Ah you're too kind, thank you so much.

the whole lesson on lesbianism and pope stuff was kinda intriguing, i guess i didnt get it at first 'cause english isnt my mother tongue
im not kidding, i read it twice so i could get the whole code thingy in this chapter but it was a lil funny when i got it =P
Author's Response: Ah sorry if it is a bit confusing! Glad you ended up liking it though. :)
Date: 01/25/11 04:44 pm Title: Two; Fearless or How One Follows Tradition
i absolutely LOVE rebellious georgia wanting to pervert belle XD
btw, i like that u put images of certain things like the dress one ;D
Author's Response: I love Georgia too, she`s awesome right? :) Thank you!
Date: 01/25/11 03:16 pm Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
so yeah… the way u write…
i, kind of, really liked it (being honest)
i dont know but i can easily imagine the twins in all his cuteness AND in this plot? no… *thinks* scene? i think that was the word i was looking for n.n
i guess ill keep reading owo
Author's Response: I know it might be difficult for some, but I`m glad you`re making an effort to stretch your imagination a bit! :)
Date: 10/26/10 08:49 pm Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
Ok, I thought it had to do with the site but I see it was your decision. I only read through Belle's first POV and I liked, but if you think it wasn't ready then I can wait=D
Author's Response: *sigh* No no, it was all me. I apologise, thank you... for your patience. I appreciate it so, so much. *bows*
Date: 10/25/10 11:02 pm Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
Hey have you uploded chapter 6 already because i can't see it?
Author's Response: I'm sorry, I took it down. *rubs temples* I... will try to upload a better version of the chapter soon, my apologies.
Date: 10/20/10 10:34 am Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
oh! this is interesting. i'm not a fan of femmeslash, but I'm -trying- for the sake of a story a friend wants for christmas. this story of yours makes me go O.O I want. xD
Author's Response: Ahoy~ Oh, well I'm always appreciative of those who put their inhibitions aside to try femmeslash, should they not be a fan beforehand. It's understandable of course; slash for straight female fans is ideal (and by association, homosexual male fans), for it's composed of attractive men and sexual content with not a threat (being the horrendous female romantic interest that consequently -and in any other case disappointedly- is not the reader) in sight. Femmeslash, which one might think would be better suited to straight men (or homosexual females, of course), bears the same reasoning on the opposite end of the spectrum. Then, of course there are the wonderful exceptions - those who take to the story despite its sexual aspects, to the characters without worries for lack of tantalisation. Those are the best, I daresay, and you may or may not have joined the ranks?
Haha, At any rate, I appreciate you for giving this a try. Seeing romantic/sexual chemistry between two females, as one who prefers the same sex, doesn't cross my mind as any sort of discomforting, so I don't know if I entirely see it from your view, but I imagine it's a little difficult to approach at first. Oh~ I realise I've ranted (as usual), but sometimes I slip into discussion/contemplation with myself, something you said must have triggered it. Anyhoo, I hope you can enjoy what's to come. Thanks for reading! Cheers!

Wow ! First review I post on this site, I'm so baad ... anyways, I will re-review (is that even a word?) later, but I just wanted to tell you that I read this first chapter and I just love it. I'm french, but I can tell your english level is fairly high and it's really great to read a story that's written with such ease (or so it seems) and talent. Bravo !
Plus, I'm a really big fan of femmeslash and Tokio Hotel, and there's about four stories about them as females, not all of them good. So you're like, la perle rare (that would mean "that special someone", if I believe WordReference, but I don't). No, really, you're a gem.
Oh, and ... for that fourth chapter, is that our beloved Kate Moennig is see on the photo ? I'm not quite sure but it seems to me that she's sitting like this and with this kind of clothes in one of her photoshoots. It just can't be random, can it ?
What else ... you descriptions are lovely, I especially loved Tommè's one (I thought american and english keyboards didn't have accents. Do they?) ... it was just, I could really picture her in my head. The dreadlocks flowing on her shoulders and everything ... it's such a great idea you've had to write this story, I do hope you'll go on and finish it because even if I haven't read it all (for now), I can't wait for it to be updated.
Well, that'd be all. Thank you very much !
And break a leg for the following !
Love,
Mathilde.
Author's Response: Yay, I stole your review virginity! Ha~ I don't know why, but I've stolen a few people's review virginities over the last couple months. XD Oh, French? Uaaaa~ I love French, but I'm very poor with it. D: Hmm~ My writing English is good? Thank you~ Truthfully, my speech has never been strong, and I even get teased for speaking oddly, but I think that is what has made me work really hard to succeed in English as a language over the years - in writing, I have a lot less chance of fumbling or messing things up. I don't know why, it's so much easier for me. I'm glad you see it as something well approached. It isn't all so easy, I do put a lot of thought into my editing so every last detail is polished, and if it appears to flow smoothly, then I have done my job.
Hmm, do mean the second chapter, as opposed to the fourth? The fourth's banner is that of a female DJ, she is just a googled picture, nothing more as far as I know. XD The second however, is actually of South Korean singer Bae Seulgi - yes, I know, it's random. (I'm very familiar with the Korean music industry, and I just happened to come across a nice picture of her that somehow, I found was suiting.) I'm sorry, I do not know who Kate Moennig is~ Oh nevermind, I looked her up; she is a television star, is she? That lesbian show~ I'm not a tele fan, I've never seen it. XD Conclusion is, yes it is random. The chapter banners are all random, in a sense. Terribly thought out, but by no means taken from specific places/people.
Ah, actually, my keyboard is automatically set to Canadian settings, which in turn includes French, right~ I actually have to change the setting to US standard often, because it will automatically type in accents for me on words I don't need them for, and it annoys me. XD So I suppose our (Canadian) settings differ from American ones like that. Even on the American setting though, I can use several keyboard shortcuts to whip out an accented letter when I need it, which I do more often than not. ^^ It's not hard~ Anyway, I'm thrilled the imagery was just right and everything! I will finish it, though it's still in its beginning stages right now anyway. I'm super glad you're enjoying it, and I look forward to more reviews from you. I may be Canadian, but my French is not great, so if I screw up along the way with it, I hope you can forgive me. XD
I appreciate it all! Thanks for reading and reviewing! ^^

I just want to give you a small nudge that I absolutely love your story! Not only does it have a nice banner/poster, haha, and the fact that it's femmeslash (which is totally hot), but just the whole plot is so exciting to me. I already love the characters for Bill and Tom (aka Bella und Tommé, which is btw, very pretty names), but I can feel that you've really thought a lot about how their character, that there's a certain depth and secrets that will be relevealed! Which in turn are the things that make me so curious to read more, I also love the fact that you're taking it slow, slow and realisticilly, making the characters and the whole situation more believable (even though I wish they should kinda jump each other right now), but I'll be patient just as well as they're gonna be patient! Anyhow, really looking forward to read more about this couple, love 'em!
Author's Response: Hey! That's really sweet of you! I totally appreciate it. Really. This is a hard fic for me to write on more than one level, and every bit of encouragement helps loads. I don't know how to make a response worthy of such a wonderful review~ I, yes, always take things slow and meaningfully, I never want to rush when life simply doesn't work that way. I kinda wish they would jump each other as well, haha, but it'll be sweeter in the end when it's built up just right! Thanks for all your kind words, and I hope I can bring you and everyone else another update soon. Truly, I appreciate it so. I send my love~ ♥ (And chocolate!)
Date: 09/25/10 06:20 pm Title: One; Ordinary or How She Fascinates Me
I love this story so far and cant wait to see where it goes in the future! I'm not usually a big femmeslash fan but I have read most of your other stories and thought I would give this one a try!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. You've read others? I appreciate it as well. I hope to hear more from you, and in return, I can't wait to update again soon! Thanks for giving femmeslash a try, it's always good to try new things. Thanks for reading~ Cheers! ^--^

Omg! I totally agree with you about the bieber ads. There's one top and one on the side bar, ugh! I was just thinking how it was like Bieberfever April Fools Day again :P
Anyhoo, loving the story. Simone is being a total pain in the ahem. Belle is too patient, she's very mature. I really would like to see some action between her and Tommè (not ahem action, but you know, just interaction, development stuff). Really want to see the Belgian sweetheart (OMG, Tommè parle sexy Français!) win over shy and reserved Belle.
LOL as surely as the Pope is Catholic I hope Belle does try Tommè's chocos ;D
Thanks for the amazing chapters, dear. All love from Canada (where Dsquared and Bieber were manufactured *headdesk*). ;P
Author's Response: They make my eyes bleed. X___X I hate that little twit. =___=;; Are you Canadian too? These days, we seem to be mass producing horrible, horrible things. I'm worried for our future. T__T Well hello fellow Canadian at any rate, nice to meet you! =P All love from my end of this arctic wonderland to you. <3 *It's like 30 degrees actually, but who doesn't love stereotypes*
Simone is ... abrasive, bitchy, haughty, but I have to believe she's a good person inside. Maybe a little. We'll see. She's certainly not mother of the year, though. French is very sexy, I want to know why no one else around me agrees. I happen to love it, even if I suck at it. <3 Thanks for the review, darling~~

My dear God. I wonder at how much time it must take you to write something as long and perfected as this. I am falling in love with this story one paragraph at a time, one character at a time.
I really like Georigia too :) and even if Kayetan is supposedly boring as heck, at least he has a cute name ;) Yay! Can't wait for our dear Tommè to make a reappearance. I wonder just how he, er, she will steal Belle's heart!
This is fantasy, what little insomniacs' dreams are made of.
Author's Response: Answer: quite some time. Well, I usually only write two copies, and thanks to technology it is more like one draft and bajillion proofreads (I'm a nazi, nit-picky, psycho about my own work and I proofread a minimum of five or six times). I'm lucky enough in that I usually only have to write the main bulk of a chapter once, due to fair planning ahead of time. I naturally write a little whimsical, quite erm, flamboyantly, so it doesn't take perhaps as long as one might think, but one chapter certainly doesn't materialise in a single night, that's for sure. (I also tend to write longer chapters, which I've managed to avoid until chapter four x__x) It's all worth it though, the work. I enjoy looking at the end result of something I've worked so hard to perfect, or to perfect to the level in which I am at (since I am still growing as an author), and I most definitely enjoy pleasing the readers and having them see and feel the story the way I do.
Georgia is my favourite, and Kayetan, I already feel bad for the guy but I too, like his name! I always like to pick interesting names for my own characters, and I think this one suits him fine.
Oh man, I ended up ranting some, but thank you - so very much! (You took the time to review all chapters, that's so sweet of you, I can't thank you enough.)

I want to murder my handheld right now because it took me forever to type a nice review and it had to be a b**** and delete it. T_T On the other hand, I'd have to kill it later because I really want to give you a proper review.
At least now I have more to occupy my time with until my fit of insomnia passes...for starters, I cannot believe I didn't read this fic sooner. I really honestly think that your writing is amazing. Your vivid descriptions really give that warm and humble countryside mood to the story's setting. This is probably the most romantic story I have read in quite a long time, and don't worry if it seems like a classic. I for one love the tone of it. It feels like you are putting my runaway simple life fantasies into words. You do it so beautifully.
I hope I'm not asking you too much, but I have two simple requests. One is to keep writing and updating whenever you can because this story deserves it. The other is to please kindly give these two lovely characters a happy ending. It would be heartbreaking if Tommè and Belle didn't get to be together. This is my first time reading a femmeslash and it's already a sure favorite.
Thank you, dear.
Author's Response: Ah, where to begin! ^^ You went through the trouble to review, thank you so very much. Insomnia = me in a nutshell. I sleep like, so little it's insane. I sympathise.
Eee, your praise is so lovely and kind! Thank you ~ Thank you ~ Thank you ~ I work so hard on my writing, to read that people appreciate just makes reviews -that- much more rewarding.
As for your requests... how about we make a deal, friend; I promise to write as frequently as I can, no matter how school and/or work drains me (which I do already, I think xD), and promise to, somehow, someway, make this have a satisfying, lovely, happy together forever end if you promise to do your best to stick through this story with me and share your thoughts as we go along! Is that fair? *giggles* In all honesty, I put 501% into my writing and stories, even if sometimes I lack and screw up, and no deals or blackmail is needed, I can only promise to do my best. Happy endings are almost a guarantee with me anyway, I'm a closet hopeless romantic, count on it.
Thanks for loving it, and reading and reviewing and the support. n____n ♥
