I liked that the back and forth was so easy going.<br /> <br />Just a comment on TOV, she's 1 out of the 2 Bella's I've ever rooted for in the countless hours I've spent reading fanfic. I'm always rooting for "them" or just for Edward but I adore TOV Bella and loved that she really became her own person. It's an amazing story.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852104649995910865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-65382590970127154012009-10-27T21:21:23.235-05:002009-10-27T21:21:23.235-05:00I loved this interview mostly because I admire you...I loved this interview mostly because I admire you both.... <br /><br />I was a total fangirl for ToV and Blue from the instant I read the poetry. I proceeded to review her 99% of the time in poetry and she was very sweet to tolerate me. <br /><br />I got the courage to write a fic soon after that and ToV was my first standard for my writing God knows if I will ever reach my standard but that is what hero worship is for- a place to reach to.<br /><br />Here is the poem I wrote for her last chapter;<br /><br />A Song for Blue<br /><br />Lustful neophytes call out to old bones,<br />Dripping admiration over the tattered nap of your robe<br /><br />While lovers journey into dawn alight the mermaid’s tail<br />Evoking image swallows granite throat and birth resultant rhyme<br /><br />Each jot sprouting incandescent wings, taking flight<br />O’er tender ears of exquisite taste to paint such sweet release<br /><br />Debussy weeps, inspiration breathed onto yellowed keys<br />And weary fingers stack these spines, uncorking champagne tears<br /><br />xox songirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-77888898344803549282009-10-27T15:28:27.993-05:002009-10-27T15:28:27.993-05:00Loved this interview, and I adore ToV!

Thanks angel and in.a.blue.bathrobe :)<br /><br />Gotta say, I noticed the FF stats too, only half the number of reader of chap1 go on to read chap2. I was always worried about that.

I think that criticisms regarding misunderstandings may simply have been due to the serialization process. As a reader, when you're in pursuit of the HEA, you want to clear every obstacle quickly and efficiently. When reading a complete novel, this is much easier than when you have to wait a week or two or four for the next chapter. Just IMO.<br /><br />Also, I realized something regarding the ffn stats counter page the other day. Say I love ToV and I'm just *dying* to reread the heartswoon moment when E realizes who his Ordinary Girl is. So I got to favorites, click on ToV and it takes me to chapter 1. Then I navigate away to the chapters I want to reread. But to the archaic stats counter that they're using, it looks like I just didn't move on to chapter 2. I think that's why so many people have v. high stats for chap 1, then see them dwindle as the work gets longer. Again, just IMO.<br /><br />Thanks so much for doing this interview. ToV is the fic I give everyone when introducing them to the world of ffn. I know I can hook them with it because it's really just one of the best fics out there - beautiful and lyrical and hopeful.
