Smellyia! *glomps you silly* This is sooooo awesome! I love how you used Sense & Sensibility here -- I adore that book!! That's such a lovely touch, and it works so very well in this setting. And you took camping to a whole new level ... and used it as a backdrop so brilliantly. This is so much more than I deserve for a few minutes of PSP work. It's freaking fabulous! Seriously, honey, this is brilliant. Thank you, thank you! *squishes you til you can hardly breathe*

AS you have already confirmed -- YAY!!! I'm your very FIRST Twilight gift!!!!

FIST. PUMP.

Ok -- the fact that you don't LOATHE this means loads. Made all my moaning and emoing so worth it. I wish I had mroe time -- I think it could have been better -- but I am so glad that you gave me something like CAMPING (seriously -- who actually camps anymore?). It really forced me to PLAY.

I was watching S&S -- you know the one -- with YOUNG HOT Rickman. ~whew, fans self~ and thought this makes SO much sense and WHY is Elinor the "dignified" one -- poo on that.

I so owed you this and even more importantly, you deserve it. You barely knew me and came through with guns a blazin' -- not to mention it's your bday.

So really, I thank you and GLOMP you back altho mine are weak. ;D

This is just lovely! The emotions - Bella's anger and pain and confusion - just shine through, and her coming to terms with her situation (with Edward's help) was very deftly done. ~applause~

THANK YOU!

I was pretty much freaked out posting this here and kept my fingers crossed that only Shug would read.

I really didn't want to do a romance, as friendships and family (with a smidge of romance) are what really intrigue me. I like to explore emotions a bit more deeply, and I am so very very pleased you not only enjoyed, but actually read my Twilight hot mess!

Hee! Most Granger/Snape 'shippers don't bite. Well, unless you ask very nicely. ;)

I read Edward/Bella fanfic from time to time, and I know that Shug is a big fan, so it was very nice to see it represented here, and in such a lovely way!

What a fascinating retelling of the backstory. I really liked it a lot; and I thought you captured her sense of alienation very nicely.

THANK YOU!

It's pretty much OOC and Human (barely Twilight) but camping? I had to go somewhere! LOL! Plus us Human writers are known for bastardizing stuff all the time ;).

Now can I just say -- I wanted to run and hide in a hole after posting this. I've read most, if not all of you, fantastic HP writers (I frequently rec out GCM and Calling Card to ANYONE even sniffing around Snermione that I know) and posting this Twilight hot mess on here was nerve wracking to say the very very least. So thank you for reading and a million more thank yous for making me feel welcome!

You're most welcome, and what an unexpected compliment. I'm so pleased you've not only read some of my work, but that you liked any of it enough to recommend to others ... wow. Just wow.

Thank you!
