Truly inspiring and wonderful to know that my hard work is being appreciated. Not too bad for my very first fic ever!<br /><br />I am truly flattered by the comments left about Rose’s character development as well as the realism I try to portray in Emmett’s struggle as a newborn. And even if half of you aren’t Rose fans or Canon fans, I’m still glad that you found it worthy enough for Rose/Emmett/Cannon fans to recommend to them. I must admit that before writing this I was an ExB person myself, and I read a lot of the AH stories and was Team Edward like most others. However, I found a great possibility with this story and found that as I wrote from Rosalie’s perspective, I could actually find a voice for her. She is now my favorite, and I’m totally Team Emmett.<br /><br />Anyway, as mentioned by my buddy Kari above, I have actually always had a beta. However, my first beta wasn’t nearly as helpful as my current beta (cfmom, author of Fractured Hearts) or my stand-in (KariAnn, author of In Pursuit of Normalcy), and they didn’t come in until about chapter 10. I plan to remedy my earlier chapter issues later, but I am working to move forward and finish the Fic first. <br /><br />Again, thank you so much for writing the article on my Fic! Truly motivational for me to keep going. The holidays and my recent engagement has me very distracted these days, and this was just the thing to keep me on track and finish! <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mariecel (Achelle131/Achelle1317/Achelle Candy)Achelle131 Candyhttp://www.twilighted.net/viewuser.php?uid=30601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052435373039930704.post-8568703215144846512010-01-03T12:40:44.105-05:002010-01-03T12:40:44.105-05:00Admittedly "forced" was the wrong word. ...Admittedly "forced" was the wrong word. ;) I just meant that it would be difficult for someone uninterested in the subject matter going in to give an unbiased review.

Nobody is forced to do anything around here. We are simply trying not only give some attention to some stories and authors that deserve it. Personally, I also think the format we developed also gives us a chance to broaden our own horizons. Our blog is dedicated to explore the men of Twilight, not just Edward and Jasper. But it doesn't mean we aren't going to have difficulties along the way. <br /><br />We will however be truthful with our thoughts. I admire Mae for being honest and letting everybody know she just couldn't get into this story. She made it through eight chapters? To me, since I know her, that's fucking great. Yeah, okay, maybe she 'skimmed' some of it, but hmmmm....who doesn't skim through SOME stories. I do.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324717707449771403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052435373039930704.post-3034699450183471222010-01-02T11:48:14.504-05:002010-01-02T11:48:14.504-05:00It's well written for the most part.

But, she did pretty good without one.</i><br /><br />If you only read up through chapter eight, I can definitely see how you would think she didn't use a beta if you didn't read the A/Ns, since the beta Achelle had at the time was sub-par at best. (As someone who served as a substitute beta for a few chaps on this fic, I know for a fact that she always uses one.)<br /><br />Very nice write-up, over all. Achelle's research and attention to period detail is something I've always admired about her writing.<br /><br />I do, however, think it's a mistake to force someone who's biased going in to leave a review. (I write J/N, and I can't imagine if a "demon-spawn"-hater decided to review my fic. *shudders*)<br /><br />-Kari<br /><br />Anywho, Achelle definitely deserves the recognition!<br /><br />-KariKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860756752614568592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052435373039930704.post-69148190470448024852009-12-31T19:13:25.296-05:002009-12-31T19:13:25.296-05:00Christ, that zygote Rob should be banned from thi...Christ, that zygote Rob should be banned from this blog.
