For example, Bella tells Edward in retrospect how creepy his stalking of her was. It's nice to see the role reversal, too. In Blink, Bella is the more clearly thinking, pragmatic of the two, and Edward has to strive to make himself worthy of her. Original Bella never felt like she was good enough for Edward, Blink Bella knows she might be too good for him. The best part of this fic is the pacing- it moves slower than ice flows in Anarctic. But remember, as those ice flows travel south, the water warms, and the flows are released until they melt into the tropic waters. At this point in Blink, Bella's iceberg is just starting it's southward journey. I'm enjoying watching her begin to melt around the edges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-54736997756331252262009-03-04T16:59:00.000-06:002009-03-04T16:59:00.000-06:00In The Blink of an Eye is one of my favorite stori...In The Blink of an Eye is one of my favorite stories in the Twilight fandom. Scratch that. In any fandom I read in. <BR/><BR/>What Katies does with the characters, how she shows off the depth of character that Meyer only hinted at in the books, sucked me in from chapter one. <BR/><BR/>Katie's vampires, werewolves, and humans are real, flawed, growing personalities. They are individuals first, creatures of mythology (or not) second. <BR/><BR/>When I see an update alert for Blink appear in my inbox I know that what I am about to read will entertain me, yes, but it will also cause me to think about the human condition, about relationships, and about growth and what it means to love.<BR/><BR/>So thanks, Katie, for sharing your writing talent! You're enriching our fandom with every chapter.<BR/><BR/>~starshinedownJessAumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243044791258381109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-29560297383318922492009-03-02T03:45:00.000-06:002009-03-02T03:45:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Pretty Taste for Paradoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479208243831139233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-75586485379688627632009-03-02T00:13:00.000-06:002009-03-02T00:13:00.000-06:00I agree 100% regarding your comments on the maturi...I agree 100% regarding your comments on the maturity of that characters. I appreciate this story for that aspect almost more than any other. The Saga was so passion driven for every second of the four books that it's nice to have the outlet of this story to see what might have been if lives hadn't been in danger every second... or when they grew up. But on the flip side, the passion of the Saga was also what compelled me to read voraciously so it's also not such a bad thing either. As someone close to Bella's age in this story, it makes her character more relatable to me. It's nice to have fanfic to fill the cracks.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815491048181303292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-33409123386120464352009-03-01T17:58:00.000-06:002009-03-01T17:58:00.000-06:00"Blink" is one of my favorite stories ever. There ..."Blink" is one of my favorite stories ever. There is such depth and detail to Katie's writing. I feel like she has so much respect for her readers and for the characters. Her story is definitely high on my list of 'Smartfics', and for good reason. I love the respect that the two of you have for one another, Min. She has spoken very highly of you many times.<BR/>People, if you aren't already reading this story then shame on you. No more excuses- get started!Capricorn75https://www.blogger.com/profile/14013332158482011911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-45890591591181060102009-03-01T16:09:00.000-06:002009-03-01T16:09:00.000-06:00Thank you, thank you, thank you, Min!
