Let's see. I'm a 25-year old workaholic who spends her days running a retail store and dealing with interesting customers. I enjoy reading, writing, sleeping and spending time with my friends and family.


My guilty pleasures consist of RPG, fanfiction and romance novels (the non-trashy kind of course!). Oh and Diet Dr. Pepper. I really love a good Diet Dr. Pepper.

A poem about the Elves, perhaps written by Bilbo in Rivendell.

I love your word choice throughout the entire poem.  I think I love the part, "Their voices silent, shall not cry/ For lands now lost and days gone by."  Wonderful job!  :)



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you read this poem and enjoyed it. I'm actually working on another but I'm sort of stuck on one last rhyming couplet so we'll see. Thanks so much for the review, I really appreciate it! ~Gina :)




Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Edward is well aware of the difficulty in keeping Bella safe. After much consideration, he makes a decision that changes both of their lives tremendously.

An interesting start. :)  I really look forward to seeing more.  It's fun seeing the story from Edward's PoV.  Great job!



Author's Response:

Thank you! I am glad that you liked it. It's fun being inside Edwrad's head!

Chapter 1: Prologue
Feature

In Breaking Dawn, Edward tells Bella that he talked to Carlisle and his brothers about their wedding night.  Given how mannerly and gentlemanly both Edward and Carlisle are, I've often wondered how the conversation between them went.  This is a stand-alone one shot that will eventually have at least two companion pieces

I really enjoyed reading this.  I think you did a wonderful job describing Edward's angst and I loved the conversation between him and Carlisle.  I look forward to the other parts.  Wonderful job!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, and thanks for the recommendation, too!  Now that finals are over, I might be able to work on the next parts of this.  Thanks for reviewing!




Chapter 1: The Talk, Part 1 (One Shot)
Polar Opposites by the_wind [Young Teens]
starstarstarstar [Reviews - 6]
One was my sun; the other was my moon. One was hot, the other cold. One was a vampire, the other a werewolf. I had – once upon a time – lived and almost died for one, while the other lived and would die for me. They were polar opposites. How, then, could I still love both? Jacob-imprints-on-Bella fic. Still haven't decided on final pairing.

Chapter 1: Prologue - One Slight Alteration

Takes place during Breaking Dawn.  Esme and Carlisle race home when they receive word of what has happened to Bella.  Unsure of what to expect, they find a most surprising gift waiting for them.

Beautiful story. I do hope you plan to continue.  I look forward to reading more!



Author's Response:

This is actually a one shot, but I do have other stories from other character's POV that I will be posting. Thanks for reading and reviewing!




Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Monster by Subtlynice [All Ages]
[Reviews - 2]

As Bella sleeps, Edward has some time to think without interruptions...


A character study of Edward Cullen, focusing on how he sees his relationship with Bella.  Pre-New Moon, 1000 words exactly. Part of my "Delving" series, but intended to be read as a seperate story.

‘Forever,’ she whispers once more, and I sigh.

This is, quite possibly, my favorite line.  I think it captures the essence of your story perfectly and I also think you did a wonderful job capturing Edward's thought.  Great job.



Author's Response:

Thank you!  This was my first attempt at EPoV, but since then I've become addicted to writing from his perspective.  I'm glad you liked it. x

Edward pays Bella's workplace a visit. Fluff ensues.

Edward/Bella, post-New Moon fluff.

I think this was a very cute glimpse into the normal life of Bella and Edward.  I liked the conversation between the pair.  Just a quick thing I noticed, you kept saying the 'till' which is actually called the 'register' in the US, and Bella would have thought of it as such.  ;)  Wonderful job!



Author's Response:

Thanks!  I'm glad you liked it!  And thanks for the correction on my British-isms, too.  I've learnt a lot about the differences between English and American language since I've begun writing fanfiction! :)




Chapter 1: Newton's Outfitters

Six-year-old Charlie Swan contemplates the important things in life: his grandpa, his new green race car and brushing his teeth twice a day.


Kid fic, friendship fluff, one-shot.

I grinned the entire time I was reading this.  I love how you captured the thoughts of six-year old Charlie and really gave an explanation as to why he wanted to be a policeman.  Great job.  I loved it.



Author's Response:

Again, thanks.  There's a kid I teach swimming who sounds exactly like this.  His obsession over sports and policemen reminded me of Charlie and I just had to write it! :)




Chapter 1: The Little Green Race Car

I truly loved the repetition throughout the story. I think it truly showed the difference between Mike and Bella and Edward.  I loved your interpretation of Mike's thoughts.  Great job!



Author's Response:

Again, thank you!

I always hated the way Mike Newton was portrayed in fanfiction - he's not a bad person.  Sure, he has his faults, but he can't help that.  He's just a seventeen-year-old boy.  They all have their faults!




Chapter 1: In Defence of Mike Newton

What he really needs is Bella, but he doesn’t know it, because she hasn’t been born yet.


 


It is the early 1930s and Edward is rebelling against Carlisle’s humane way of life.  Still, ever the gentleman, he stalks the streets at night, keeping human demons at bay, while he questions the moralistic views of a creature without a soul.


One-shot, Edward angst.  Brief mentions of E/B

I really enjoyed this story.  I especially loved the part where Edward sees himself through the eyes of his victim.  Great job!



Author's Response:

Thanks!  I was feeling pretty angry when I wrote it - one of my stories had just been plagiarised... so if it sounds extra bloodthristy, that's why! :)
