Ahh Well... "ICOE" Chp. 14
If, as I suspect I have, I already replied to most of these reviews, then I suppose I've just wasted my own time - and no harm done, right? But I can't help it. I have to show my gratitude somehow! *wink* Heh heh heh.
Starting From the Beginning (All that time ago):
LuvinAniManga: (9/14/06) First off, thanks for the review! Heh. Yes, it WAS short... I'm glad you thought chapter 13 was okay. After I wrote it, I realized that it could so easily be misinterpreted - and it really served an important purpose. Heh. However! Now that chp. fourteen has been augmented... Well, I think it works a little better. Heh. And I fear I'll only grow busier. Ugh. All my classes are WRETCHED and I just can't get a break. Heh. I dread college next year... *sigh* But anyway! Thanks so much for the review! Hopefully, Seto/Anzu shall always stay a healthy fandom - I know I'll do my part!
dragoneyes5000: Thanks for the review! *gulp* Heh - can't blame you for forgetting about this - it was on the back burner for SUCH A LONG TIME. However, updates shall be coming much quicker! Thanks again.
Almandine-Azaleea: Thank you so much for reviewing! Oh, you are too kind. Hee. Yes, Arisa's grandmother shall play a small part later in the fic. Heh. (I LOVE Honda and Arisa much more than I should, I do have to admit. Heh.) I don't think that the grandmother is coming in the story until post-chp. 24, but I'm looking forward to the possible misinterpretations that shall arise when Honda attempts to communicate to her in her native language. Bwa ha ha. *wink* And oh - my dearest little Mokuba. Heh heh heh. How he amuses me. I love writing him! I really can see him as a little bit of a playboy. Heh. Ahh well. Thanks again for the review!
Mimi: Thank you so much! Hee. I really appreciated the review, and your words were very encouraging! It's nice to know that you liked chapter 13. It was a bit of a "wild card" chapter, I'll admit. Hopefully, with chapter fourteen, things are getting back into gear, the plot shall fall more firmly into place - and I might even be able to make the chatpers longer! Heh. Thanks again!
Starian Princess: Aww, thank you! The chp. 13 encouragement means a lot to me. Heh. And yes... I do tend to try to go a different way from what's expected, but... *laughs* Actually, crazy plots just come to my mind and it's all I can do to keep up with them and try to fill in all the holes. I think chapter fourteen's a little better now that I've lengthened it - might advance things, maybe explain things a bit better, too. Anyway, thanks again - always appreciated!
the-hinotori: Heh. *looks sheepish* Yes, this... Well, it was abandoned for an awfully long time, wasn't it? Heh. Yes, after re-reading it and realizing that it wasn't "LOTRATA" and it really didn't have to be funny, I felt a lot better about writing it. I can now proudly say that I'll be updating much more frequently now. Thanks for the review!
kittydemon18: Heh heh heh. Oh, your review amused me. If you're ready for Sakura to make a move... Well, chapter fifteen should definitely please you. However, he doesn't get rid of her just yet. Unfortunately, she's got one more part to play. Maybe later in the fic, though - ya never know! Hee. Oh, and YES - Honda will definitely be attempting to learn a few choice French phrases. I anticipate much comic relief coming from his feeble attempts... Heh. If it isn't obvious, I do like Honda, so it won't be too bad for him. Hee. Thanks again - and if you want a quick update... Well, chp. 15 should be there already!
XxSexiItxX: Yah! Thank you so much! *beam* Oh, your review was very nice! Hee. Thanks again - I appreciate it. Anyway... Chp. 15 is already up if you're interested... Hope it's good!
drkmagiciangrl25: Hee. Thanks for the review! Yes, at long last, this story was dusted off and my mind is quite ready to start thinking up a storm for it. Heh. Chp. 15 is up already, actually, so... heh. I'm going to try to update regularly. Thanks again!
LeafeKnight7: Thanks for the review! Hee hee. Yes, that many chapters. I really wanted to take on a basically novel-length project, and I thought hey! this is as good as anything to work with. I still have a few ideas and surprises up my sleeve, so I think it'll be enjoyable. Hee. Chp. 15's up if you're interested. Thanks again!
