Date: 09 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 6: Safe Sex on Gilligan's Island

I really enjoyed the update.  Curious as to why she didn't follow through with letting Edward know about her infertility?  Does she think it won't last so why tell?  Or is it because she is afraid it could be a reason for him to leave?  If she thinks it is a valid point for any man to maybe not want to date her, why not tell him and find out if he's worthy of your love?  Waiting and telling him will make it harder for both parties involved in my opinion.  I will be interested to see how it plays out from here.



Author's Response:

Bella didn't discuss it because she honestly believes the dating is not going to last.  She doesn't open up her wounds for just anyone and if she's going to open that one, then she wants to know the person deserves that kind of trust being put into them.  Knowing Edward, it won't be long at all before he convinces her.

The way Bree was introduced as being a guy was super confusing, at least from a reader's POV.  In my opinion, I get you wanting to maybe shock Edward with this knowledge, but I was utterly dumbfounded at first.  Wondering if it was a typo error when you refered to Bree as a he!  I was like, I don't ever remember anything being mentioned about that.  Then I kept thinking, what is the deal with Jake? Did I miss that too?  I kept thinking, do I have to go back to see if I missed something in the earlier chapters? 

Hoping next chapter answers some of these question!

So glad you posted this early.  Really helped to clear the air.  So to speak.  I truly like how much Edward in general rocks Bella.  She questions and concerns herself with his feelings.  I think she is use to caring for herself and then has a fuck it attitude, but with him...she worries non stop.  She tries to deny it, but he's already made a huge impact on her life.  No turning back now!!  Good chapter!



Author's Response:

NO! Absolutely no turning back. It's one of those things she realizes, but is too chicken to really admit out loud.

Date: 30 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 10: Moment of Perfection

She is opening herself up to him, almost all of her.  I think she will eventually let him into the secrets.  Like the one she shared with Jasper.  Curious about that.  I'm a little nervous about Edward.  Headache?  Another heart racing incident.  Did he have stage fright in bed too?  Is he anxiety ridden?

Can't wait for more!!  Great update!



Author's Response:

Anxiety ridden? I don't know about that one. I'll see if I can get him to tell me. As for Jasper, he got to hear a little bit of the Mike story. We are not that lucky just yet.

Date: 04 Apr 2010 Title: Chapter 11: Angry Men and Farfegnugen

Another great chapter.  Although, Im going nuts with all these hints about Bella's past yet no insight into it.  We know it was pretty messed up, but to what extent?  I liked the drinking game and wonder what Emmett's deal is with guys in general?  Can he not be friends with them?  I mean I kind of understand Embry, but why Edward too?  Man needs to grow up.  Or maybe Bella should shout in his ear and bounce on his chest during his hangover until he gives.  Just a thought!



Author's Response:

Much of her past will be revealed soon. Bella isn't going to just open up and talk about her scars to just anyone. She needs to feel that she can truly trust Edward to understand.  She will get there, but it will be a few more chapters before it happens.  Emmett just likes who he likes - like Jasper.  Eventually though, things will ease up between Edward and Emmett.

Summary: Past Featured Story

game

Lonesome and second-guessing his career as a baseball player, Edward never imagined that it would only take one foul ball to turn his world upside down. That he might possibly find everything he had ever dreamt of, everything that had been missing in his life. Would he embrace it, or would he strike out, never knowing true love?

Special thanks to NoelleSeven for the awesome banner she made me.

Dun, dun, dun.  Who got hit by a foul ball?  Non other then Bella Freaking Swan!!  LOL  IF we all could be so lucky.  Will he autograph it for her?  She should at least get that out of the deal, rather then a concussion and a bump



Author's Response:

Oh, I think she will end up with a lot more than a bump on the head. Maybe some other kind of bump.LOL

 

Muah!

I loved how he was shocked to see her with his family.  She is blending nicely.  Now a couple of innocent dates...could there be more in the future?  Hmmm



Author's Response:

Yes she is fitting in quite well. As long as niether one of them do anything stupid like climb a tree I think they might just have an intersting future.

I remember this chapter well.   Thank god it was a one time occurance for you.  However, it ended up turning out great.  Even with Tanya thrown in.  But that wasn't as bad as we thought.  Whew, dodged another foul ball. LOL



Author's Response:

I bet you do remember this chapter. What language was it I tried to write it in?  Maybe it was Ewok or somthing. LOL It wouldn't have turned out nearly as great if you hadn't been able to decipher my chicken scratch.   Hee Hee we are the only ones who know whose little test that was. LOL

Thank goodness she got her shit together.  Him too.  We can't have two dumbasses trying to raise a baby.  Just wouldn't work.

They got engaged!  Yay

No we can't have that, we'd have to raise it for them, and we have enough on our hands with the dumbasses we already are trying to raise. Not talking about our kids either. LOL

So we named slugger Zach.  Cute name, plus I like his initials.  We had things finalized Jake's behavior.  Time to drop him back to the playground with the toddlers, where he belongs.  I loved the shower, and the donating of gifts.  Those that have the resources to give, definitely should.  Especially in this economy!! 

 

Awesome job as always.  Excited for the upcoming nuptials!



Author's Response:

Hey BB, you know it wouldn't be nearly as awesome withot your help!! Yes Jake needs to go back to the playground and learn how to play nicely. I thinkthe donation idea is good too!! I think that is going to be how Edward arranges that big surporise at the reception involing  one of our favorite bands and songs. He will make a huge donation to that person's favorite charity to get him to partake inthe surprise. Sound good?

I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the chapter, you might just have it waiting in your mailbox when you get home from the animal hose today.

 

Muah, love ya BB!!

Another great chapter.  I loved the wedding (in person), and meeting Steve.  You know that was a dream of mine.  LOL  No incidents and Alice wasn't her normal demanding self.  Let's keep that girl knocked up.  I like it.

So when are we leaving for Greece?  I mean the bridal party is included too, right?  LOL

Great job...loved it as always.

Even though this chapter is written, I still believe 'actual' research is a must.  I've never seen a retractable roof.  So how much does a villa like that cost?  Could we swing it?  LOL  Not from it though.  :)

Awesome as always.  Love this and sad to think it's almost over.
