Date: 11/19/12 09:29 pm Title: Precociousness
Forgive me for not reviewing sooner, but I am so loving this story. Bill is quite the little minx in this story. I don't know why, but I love stories where Bill is selfish/jealous/possessive. I think it's because I think he is really like that IRL. Oh and I hate to admit this, but I'm looking forward to Bill's lessons. ::hides in corner:: It's so wrong, but your writing it so right,so it's all your fault Mizu. Of course, you could always get back into my good graces, by having Bushido teach Bill a thing or two. j/k(but not really) lol. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Hi there, Minibar! I forgive you for not reviewing earlier, I know how it is. Still happy to hear from you now! Glad to know you're enjoying little Billy, he's keeping me on my toes in this one. You are not the only one looking forward to Dave teaching him a few things about....um...golf. Trust me on that. It's okay to come to the dark side. As for Bu.... I will be making it up to you, have no doubt. Possessive Bill. Little bit o Bu.... Yeah. I get all tingly thinking about it...

Hello there.
So, here I go again, being a fool, starting to read a story I can't stay away from because it is so darn bloody good, knowing that I will probably need to quit reading some time in the future anyway. You totally scare me, dear mizu. Your writing is so stellar, attention to detail mind blowing and plot so infectiously addictive BUT you tend to change your pairings and warnings as you go and ... well, I had to stop reading Narcissus because of one stocky rapping type being thrown into a mixture all of a sudden(and I am not talking about Bubu, lol) and I just couldn't ... sorry. Bill being paired together with him was an absolute show stopper for me and I am really sorry about that ( still I am because Tomshido was amazing). It just felt like taking a sip of a heavenly sweet, smooth, creamy, fruity smoothie and then someone throws a raw herring into a blender, lol:-) I may be narrow minded like that, missing on a great story by drawing line there but ... no can do:-/
But about this new puppy of yours:-) I love it (so far, haha) and can't wait to see what comes next. The topic is really interesting and characterizations really tight. When I saw you had come with a new Bill/Tom story, first I couldn't believe my eyes, my luck, feeling like getting an early Christmas present in sparkly wrapping. I have always wondered what a story like that would be like if written by you, what you could do with them, the twins, being more than just twins, in a non-cliche, reaslistic sort of way, but still going all the way there, not just brushing the surface, using them as a sexual testing ground only for somebody else to enter the scene later and harvest all the fruit and glory (if you know what I mean), I always wanted to know what you could potentionaly do with twc story, because as I said you write like nobody's business but then I noticed your notes and I deflated. We are talking about mizu here after all right, an illusion artist who tends to pull rug from under readers feet, lol:-)
But I am still reading because it is so, so very good, enjoying the ride while it lasts and if I will pest you with obtrusive, opinionated commnents just to disappear on you suddenly again I apologize in advance:-D
I am ashamed to admit that I enjoy reading about little pervy Bill getting it on with big pervy David way more than about Tom and his cute angel like Andrej. Btw, I find Pejic of these days (after all the treatments he must have done) out of this world beautiful, but as a kiddo he was quite a "normal" looking boy:-)
Author's Response: Hello, GnB, I am so thrilled to hear from you! I had wondered where you'd gone during DoN, now I know! I feel really bad that it was that one stocky rapping type that had you screeching brakes and turning the car around. I must admit that I am not fond of Kay 1 myself, and had to constantly envision him looking a little better (okay a lot better), but he seemed to fit the story, and the more I wrote his part, the more he just flowed. I really would have loved to know what you thought about the rest of the story but I completely understand and I'm sorry I don't know in advance everything that's going to happen in my stories (but if you have any others that squick you out, let me know and I'll try to avoid them or warn you!). I have one warning I avoid - major character death. Just... I hate having my heart broken! It's too much. So I completely understand your avoidance. Thank you for all your wonderful comments on the style of writing, I'm thrilled to know that you appreciate it. I do promise, NO kay 1 in this story! And knowing that you were kind of hoping for a B/T pairing from me (just ask! i'm easy!) makes me all giddy feeling. You are exactly right that they are using each other as a testing ground, but I'm thinking they'll be messing around for a long, long time. Sometimes, though, my characters surprise me. I'm hoping they stay realistic because I let them sort of write themselves. Snarky, spoiled little Bill and his sexual awakening to adult men was not quite what I expected, but, well, there he is. ... I will try not to pull the rug from under your feet with this one but the story has so many possibilities, not sure what might happen! Like I said, let me know if anyone/anything else is too oogy for you ;) .... As for pervy Dave and pervy Bill, oh lordy, when this Bill first got wind of the idea, his little ears perked right up. I love it, love the un-molestable Bill! And like you, I find it more fun than the Tommy/Andrej pairing, but that's Tom's thing. We'll have to see how it goes. He's just not as sexually raring to go as Bill is. As for Andrej himself, I did see him in a documentary and saw pics of him as a child, but not sure when the transition started. he's about 14 here. I seem to recall him dressing pretty...daintily. But couldn't find any photos. Oh well, time to use our imagination. Thanks so much for your wonderful and long review, it was a great read! Hope to hear from you again!

Thank you so much for this amazing chapter!!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! LOL... Yes, the boys will be messing around with other people, but it's a good thing! Glad you enjoyed this one so much and thanks for letting me know!

oooh, good solution
il def do that............................... its not THAT bad is it, most of the time i dont see what i write but i know i mix short had with normal and it can be confusing............... oh well

Date: 11/19/12 07:34 am Title: Precociousness
Oh dear goodness. For better or worse, Bill reminds me of myself when I was like... 9 O_O I hope he's careful... though it's hot to read no matter what. Andrej is so cute when he's shy around Tom but I'm glad he kissed his cheek. I like how Bill has Dave and Tom has Andrej, but at the end of the day they're still jerking each other off in bed. This was beautiful and well worth the wait.
Author's Response: Nine! Talk about precocious! You must have startled the hell out of the boys. Little Billy actually surprised me with his self-discovery of enjoying the manliness of Dave and being very curious to find more - I was not expecting that! And it's gonna be sooo fun as this goes along. And Bill and Tom might always stay touchstones for each other. If you know what I mean. And still be able to have normal-ish relationships. How nice would that be! Thanks for writing, spcf, hope you're planning on adding more chapters of your own, I LOVED the stage scene!!!!

Author's Response: Missy P, Missy P! So good to hear from you again! Now, if only I could decipher your writing.....And after you read the amount of fanfic necessary to keep you alive, you need to get back to work!
Date: 11/19/12 07:06 am Title: Precociousness
I love this!!! Your a great writer!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for letting me know you're out there, don't think I've heard from you before. Thrilled to know you're enjoying it!
Date: 11/11/12 06:35 am Title: A New Friend (for some). And Discussions with Poppi
I'm leaving you a second review on this because I wanted you to know how badly I miss you when there's no update. I tried to distract myself from my lack of mizu by going to Hong Kong for the weekend but it didn't help. (NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and I've already given up. I'm not cut out for that kind of shit. At least not while I'm still in school in China. But I'm thinking of taking my idea for that and adapting it into a fic of sorts? We'll see.) I hope you're enjoying yourself, and know that I miss you :P
Author's Response: Hello, spcf! No need to miss me, I'm actually a lot closer to you than I normally am! Aloha from Maui! Not that I wouldn't rather be in Hong Kong, one of my planned future trips, but I guess beaches and snorkeling and stuff isn't something I should complain about. I just normally prefer places with ancient pyramids and civilizations. But being here has given me a possible idea for a future story..... Anyway, I'm sorry to have abandonded you - I miss writing but the little tiny netbook I have with me isn't the greatest tool for it. Next chapter has been worked on, though, and oh wow, is little Billy springing some surprises on me! As for your nanowrimo - you'll get there, you definitely have the skill and a wonderfully dark, humorous twist to your writing style that should be expanded upon. I'd LOVE to read a novel by you one day! Stay tuned, spcf, it is my goal to never abandon a story on this site or take a ridiculously long time to update chapters (not saying anything about your stories - you're a busy traveling college kid, go out and have fun, explore the world, catch up with your stories when your bored - it's very good practice for the future. For me, it's a much more time consuming hobby - not much else going on between travels in my life!). thanks for review #2, glad to know you're out there thinking of me :)
Date: 11/08/12 11:00 am Title: A New Friend (for some). And Discussions with Poppi
What a great dad Poppi is. He totally gets his sons and gives such good advice. I'm guessing their mum is okay with Bill's big reveal too. You wrote Andrej into the story. I love you! I also love how Bill instinctively recognises the threat and how he's prepared to weigh in and fight for Tom, even though he doesn't actually know why he hates the new boy until Poppi helps him understand. Oh, the twins night time games. Love me some pubescent twins exploring their sexuality. What, you're on holiday so no update this week? Shame on you! I can't talk, it takes me weeks between one chapter and the next. I can't wait though to find out what's coming next, where the jealousy will end if Tom and Andrej get closer. Wonder if Poppi's realising he might have two gay sons.
Hope you're having a great time and looking forward to you getting back and writing more. Hugs, Helen x
Author's Response: Hi Helen! I'm so glad you're taking the time to review! I had started working on the next chapt before leaving, so it's a work in progress and shouldn't take too long to get up once I'm home. I am having a lot of fun with this story - B&T at this age, it's just too delicious to resist! And as for what happens in the next chapter! More of your favorite pretty blond boy? Mmmmmaaaayyyybbbeee! And another character gets introduced to little Billy..... He's definitely a growing boy! I saw yesterday that you posted a new chapt and I'm dying to read it! ( I always have to steel myself for yours, they're so damned tense!) As for Poppi finding out that Tommy might be a little on the gay side, well, that's coming up too.... Having a great time (in Maui til thursday, I'm a little timid in the water - okay, a total chickenshit - but I think I like snorkeling - and I'll get back to writing as soon as I'm home!). and definitely expect a review from me soon... thanks for writing helen!
Date: 11/03/12 10:55 am Title: A New Friend (for some). And Discussions with Poppi
Yay for kissing games! And yay for the appearance of Andrej! And boo for no updates next week! You know I need you!
I also thought I'd take this time to inform you that I took your last response to heart and am working diligently to compose Bill's cumming on stage and butt plugs and such. Unfortunately... school. Also, my roommate has convinced me to participate in NaNoWriMo and apparently now I just don't have control over my life anymore. I'll miss you next week
Author's Response: Oh, spcf, I am so sorry for abandoning you. If internet didn't cost 15 bucks a day at the hotel, I would try to slip in a small one just for you. But alas, I am cheap so that I can have lots of vacations, so no internet! I'm thrilled to hear you're working on Bill's ultimate performance!! I can hardly wait, as I know that no matter how I imagine it turning out, you are going to come up with something completely unique. And what is NaNoWriMo? I've seen that before but I never managed to find out. Mostly because my efforts for most things consist of "I wonder what that is?" before wandering off aimlessly. Write write write, whatever and wherever, and I want to read it!
Date: 11/03/12 03:16 am Title: A New Friend (for some). And Discussions with Poppi
Nooooo): now i have to wait a whole week before you will update. But bill wasnt being friendly towards andrej... But i can understand the way he reacted. He had Tom for himself for almost 14 Yeats, and now he has to share him..
Author's Response: Sorry I have to put you through waiting a week, but I'll be back, no 3 months in between chapters for me! And yes, Bill and Tom are bound to be jealous of each other....the next chapter shows Tom's side! Thanks for writing!
Date: 10/31/12 06:39 am Title: Black Hair and Eyeliner
Sorry for not reviewing before, I've not been well (pulled muscles around my ribs and then a full-blown migraine...throwing up with pulled muscles is NOT a recommended activity unless you're a masochist), and I had clinic appointments with 2 of the kids and...well, other shit. Anyway, here I am, and needless to say I loved this chapter from start to finish. You said you were having trouble moving from one age range to the next but it really doesn't show, you do it so smoothly. One of my favourite parts is staring Tommy, how he just gets transfixed by his cute twin. Love the dead man game too. And Tom's jealousy over the kiss. And, oh, too many things to list them all. But I adore how you handled Bill coming out to his family, and Poppi jumping to his defence with Frankie's thoughtless comment. And what is Tommy thinking now? Can't wait to find out. Sorry this isn't such an in depth review as usual, I have some catching up to do and more family stuff to sort. And I have been snatching moments to wrok on my next chapter. I'm hoping to have it all done and dusted by the weekend. Love and hugs, Helen x
Author's Response: Hi Helen! I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well :( And thank you for writing even though you've been out of sorts, that's so thoughtful of you. Hope the kiddies are doing okay! I'm glad you're working on the next chapter (when you're writing, I'm reassured that things are pretty much as they should be, no major life trauma or drama)....as for your lovely review...thank you! I just love the dead man game. Kids start playing little sexual things early, and I can totally remember myself at 12 or 13 finding ways to explore what feels good with my little friends and cousins. Bill's coming out - I'd had that in mind quite a while, scribbled down in the margin of the notebook for Dreams of Narcissus. I'm thrilled to know you're enjoying this story. Oh - did you read Salty Wenche's The Day Georg Started Acting Weird? I read it about a month ago after re-reading Mirror Images and desperately needing more. It's been featured for Halloween week (ahem...) and I highly recommend it!
Date: 10/29/12 03:18 pm Title: Black Hair and Eyeliner
Ooohh this is pretty interesting! I'm so excited to see more! And why did Bill stop remembering? Keep up the fabulously thought out work!
Author's Response: Thank you, glad to know you're reading! Bill might still get some glimpses of past lives and remember some people, but I'm having him follow the usual line of kids who supposedly remember past lives - they'll have extremely vivid memories early on, but after about age five or so, the memories trickle off, and by nine or ten they have none. But as we'll see, Billy does keep a few memories.... Thanks for taking the time to review!
Date: 10/28/12 08:55 am Title: Black Hair and Eyeliner
Ni hao from Guilin!! I just have to say thank you because seeing an update from you was the only thing that got me through my unbearable 22 hour train ride. Chinese trains smell like sea urchin testicles and feet. But this update made everything better. I thoroughly enjoyed it - big surprise - and I can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: A 22 hour train ride through China - you're just trying to make me jealous. And you should be used to that sea urchin gonad/feet smell - isn't that what all the food there tastes like anyway? I'm so glad I could be of service to you from, I'll guess about 7000 miles away. You'll get your next chapter on Friday, or whatever day those commies celebrate after another 5 settings of the sun. Now, I'm gonna check for YOUR updates - Bill on stage? With a buttplug? remember, spcf? Cuz I do.

I rarely leave reviews but this is so crative and original, I love your writing. Mostly the 1st chapther was a prove that you have talent, it's not easy to make the twins development sound interesting but you just did it:)
Author's Response: Well I'm really flattered, Lipa! Thank you for taking time out to let me know :)

Whoa, Bill acts so amazing...
Author's Response: I'm happy to know you like him! He's definitely different :)
Date: 10/23/12 10:47 am Title: Poppi's Boys
This was an amazing first part/opening chapter (that's me hoping for another lengthy work from you). I'm wondering how hard you found it to write the twins as little boys because they were absolutely endearing with their lisps and baby talk. I loved them at school, offering friendship to both the underdogs and the bullies, keeping everyone close rather than making enemies. That line Bill said to Lazlo about him forgiving but Tommy wouldn't. And I loved 'OUR weiner' too...priceless. I'm absolutely intrigued to discover where this will lead after the glimpses into the twins' past lives. As usual, your writing is superb and you've painted such an intricate picture or the twins, their family and the setting. I love it to bits and can't wait for the next part/chapter.
Author's Response: THERE you are! Yay! You know how much I love hearing from you. I don't find the kids hard to write, I remember being that small and goofy. What's a little harder is jumping time, not sure how long to stay in each spot, wanting to linger, wanting to move on... it's an area I have a little difficulty in. But I'm having lots of fun with this one, thought up the idea quite a while ago and little scenarios have been popping up ever since. As for these twins, oh, they're so fun this way! I can hardly wait to get more out, been working on the next chapter and spending more time with each age - they'll be getting into their pre-teens and into more trouble (snicker). Thank you for your sweet review, hope to hear from you again soon. Next chapter up in a few days! And I hope you're working on 11!!
