Dear M/BDC,
It's been quite a while since I've written, but don't let that mislead you. I am thoroughly addicted to every single one of your stories and each successive installation makes me feel as if I'm five years old and it's Christmas. I didn't think I was going to like TPOL because I love your canon stories so much, but now I'm totally HOOKED!
Honey, just so you know, I'd think I'd read the directions on hamburger wrappers if you wrote them. You are, in my humble opinion, the very best writer on TWCS. I have slogged through enough mediocre and seriously crappy crap from some of the functionally illiterate "Favorite Authors" and "Top Tens" to fertilize a corn field, while your writing keeps bringing me back again and again...and again...and again. I've read all of your stories at least 3-4 times. (Okay, I admit the outtakes from Prelude and all of Polar Night have been read 16,742 times each because I LOVE LEMONS!) Anyway, you just keep getting better and better.
Tuesday mornings have become my favorite time of the week. Teenager off to school? Check. Husband off to work? Check. Is it my day off? Check. Has BellaDonna written something new for me? Please God, let it be a check! Do I need to get a life? Check. Am I going to get a life? No, I'm going to sit my ass right here and wait for the next chapter.
Today you should really thank God I'm not a stalker, otherwise I'd be leaning over your shoulder 24/7 to see what word you're going to type next. You would not be allowed to go to work or leave your home. Your leg would be chained to a chair and your hands would only be allowed to touch a keyboard. Hell, I'd hand-feed you and hold a straw to your mouth if it would make things go faster.
I'm a bit of a writer, too, so I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to churn this stuff out. You are seriously good, girl. You've got me checking my Ipad for updates multiple times every day like I've got OCD when I know damn good and well I'm going to have to wait at least another week.
I sincerely hope you get a big-ass book deal one day soon. You deserve one.
Now, stop reading my love letter and get back to typing. While you're at it, put Jacob's ass on a plane back to Forks with Leah. I am bored with him already and am in desperate need of some (pretty please with sugar on top) serious NC-17 and/or XXX E/B sex SOON! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
(WARNING: Addiction to Marie's stories may cause otherwise normal women to become blood-sucking leeches who attach themselves to her until she gives them what they want. You have been duly warned.)
P.S. I hope you haven't totally given up on Polar Night. I'd love to see it finished someday. I know you're busy, I'm just sayin'...you left me hanging there in Forks and my bags were already packed for fucking Alaska and I don't even like the cold.

Whew! I thought we were all gonna have to go out on Edward's office balcony for a group cigarette after that one!
I picked this chapter up right before I went to bed last night - I actually squealed when I saw it had been posted! Got to the part where Bella shows up at the fundraiser and had to stop and squeal again. Went like that through the whole damn chapter: Read-Stop-Squeal-Read-Stop-Squeal. Got up this morning and read it all over again with the same results.
Thank you for putting me to sleep AND waking me up feeling so happy. It's gonna be a great day!

Going to bed with a big smile on my face.

Another great chapter. LOVE the music choices. I knew in my heart Leah was gonna show up as soon as things heated up. Can't we just put a bow on her and give her to Jake?

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this chapter. When I got to the "agin' grocer" I literally had to stop reading so I could laugh my ass off. Twice. That was absolutely hilarious! Love seeing Edward caught up in the chaos of a child's brain. Am loving Little Bell, too - you've done a terrific job of nailing her and her mindset. She's just adorable (and I'm not usually one for little kids littering up my lemons).
Am now wondering if the car from Washington has something to do with where Jake's been all this time. (Just sayin' - you've got my brain working overtime trying to figure out where we're going.)
Please give us a heads-up if you decide we need to go on the lam with them - I'll need to pack a couple of things first. Ladies - remember to bring lots of clean underwear for upcoming visits to Lemonland. (Marie never disappoints when it comes to making fresh, juicy lemonade.)

Loving every update! Keep 'em, uh, coming!

Marie, the stress is killing me here. You need to warn me when I need to take a Xanax before reading a chapter. The bad news? That cliffie ran me right over the edge. The good news? Prescription being refilled today.
(Seriously, girl, you can fuck with my head anytime. You're awesome!)

Boo fucking hoo! You nearly had my ass in tears by the time we got to the end of that one. As a physician, you should know that there's not enough Xanax being produced to keep me calm through all of this turmoil. Shame on you for putting me through this and double-shame on you for making me love it. (I think you're a secret sadist and you're making me unwillingly come to terms with my masochistic tendencies because I can't stay away from you.)
Let's see...you've got us dealing with professional misconduct allegations for both Edward and Bella, Jake's dead (that took some serious cojones, girl - good for you!), custody issues with James and an attorney telling Bella that she has to break up with Edward. Plus some asshole detectives (I know they're probably good at their jobs, but I don't like anyone implying anything inappropriate between my B & E, even if I happen to know they've been a little inappropriate).
Heads up: If there's much more angst I'm gonna start sending you my pharmacy bills.
Will be requiring (XXX) make-up sex really soon if you really expect our relationship to last!
Just sayin'...
P.S. I still think you're the most awesome writer TWCS has ever had, so the threat over the make-up sex is an idle one, but can't you give me a little just because you love me?
