Wheeeeeeeeee! I like, I like very much. :D

[riko]

I owe you like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. (Note: Please imagine me stretching out my arms to respresent how much I owe you because otherwise that sentence just looks stupid.) Thank you.

[saffronlie]

You don't owe me anything, dudette. You worked on my novel and helped make it better, so if anything, I owe you like ten more of these.

Hi. Now that I know who you are I just wanted to come over and say again how much I loved it. Really, I couldn't have imagined a better story, and I love it. Thank you again. :)

[riko]

I am so glad you liked it. I figured as long as I managed to fit in the things you'd asked for, I'd turn out something you wouldn't hate, but I'm pleased and touched beyond words to know that I managed to make something you truly like. Thank you so much!

[amberlynne]

I just have to tell you I loved this again. Because I do. Heh.

[riko]

And now begins what is likely to be a totally ridiculous set of comments as I plan to reply to all of the wonderfully kind things you've said to me right in a row.

So, let's begin simply with thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Curse of the Akimbo Strikes Again!

Aaah, I missed fanfiction. I missed Remus/Sirius fanfiction. And I missed your fanfiction most of all!!

You totally made my day, by taking me on a Marauders-All-Seven-Years-of-Emotional-Highs-and-Lows, you Loon! You also have too much fun writing about Remus from Sirius's POV. And you made me laugh!! And then you made me CRY. It wasn't GOOD, because it coincided with ANGSTY KELLY CLARKSON ON THE RADIO. Don't you HATE it when that happens?!

Do you know...it was just that good and that professional that I found myself forcing myself to remember that I knew the author for once in my life--she wasn't some filthy rich, talented, pedestal-sitting somebody that I look up to as a writing Goddess, far, far away, intangible and untouchable, she was my best friend!

...I still look up to you as a writing Goddess, you know that, but this way I can also greedily delight in my own connections and gloat about you to all my other friends.

The Ending made me Run for my Kleenex Box.

Happy New Year my dear.

[riko]

Oh, CICI. You're so sweet. I'm glad you liked it although I didn't mean to make you cry! Don't cry!

But...professional? Really. Because, you know, that might just be the best compliment I've gotten in my life.

And the Akimbo was totally a present for you, sweetie. :P

Happy New Year!

[lianda]

Oh, I fully meant it. You are you are.
I can be a Diction Queen, sometimes. *looks at you* I choose my words wisely.

...almost all the time.

GIRN.

*laughs and hugs you*

[kyasuriin]

uhm... I think you should quit whatever you're doing right now and just write. Because... I'm pretty sure people would pay good money for this kinda stuff. I know I would :D & I know I reviewed this before but I'm rereading and remembering just why I loved it so. You're like... so so good.

[riko]

I meant to reply to this the first day it popped up in my email, but I am pathologically bad at answering comments.

Anyway! This meant a lot to me! And I was having a really bad day, so you're timing was awesome.

Thank you so much, darling. If I thought I could quit and just write stuff like this all day, I would. It's nice to know that someone out there thinks I could pull it off. :D

...And I'm glad you reminded me that people might've reviewed on the shacking_up site because I'd completely forgot. >_
