Thank you for replying! Appreciate it when I am appreciated! Just recently, I begun to always try to make my reviews as long as possible. So far, it's going pretty good. 8D

It's pretty noticeable that your own approach to literature is so dominant, that the way it's written it carries over to this fic (and probably everything else you write), so thus the variation to the actual canon. I can definitely tell you put a bit of yourself into this, though I was a little cautious to say/ask, since there are people who take that kind of thing as more of an insult. Anyway, I'm sure the publishing thing is just a matter of time... Sad how I see so many unpublished things these days that are actually better than the stuff in print these days (Twiiiilight, I'm looking at you). /sigh

Yay, I'm happy that you're happy. :D

Haha, these days my age's inevitable typecasting mainly sees us as: nooby, insensitive and beyond comprehending anything that is deemed "mature". I'm glad to seem to have overcome that assumption, and even happier to know I don't come off portentous (a thing to always always avoid). ♥

P.S. May I add you? I'd love to see what you get up to with your writing in the future. :D

Thanks :) I did model many of my characters after my own personality traits, and feelings...and people I know or have met. I am guilty of doing this sometimes. You don't have to be worried about me being touchy. I'm surprisingly straightforward when people ask me things, not always open to tell-alls but I'll be up front. For Sakura, I did use some of my own personal experiences with things like depression to make her character. I think I did that because I see high school as a difficult time, and I just wanted to make this intuitive, melancholic girl who doesn't exactly fit in with the high school crowd, but isn't unpopular either.

Lol. Twilight is truly terrible, melodramatic literature. I am amazed to see that grown women have become immersed in the obsession. It is a new low for America.

Sure thing sweets! I'll add ya back.

You shouldn't feel guilty for putting a bit of yourself into your characters. Someone once said that doing just that could improve a work of literature, even, since it drew a connection between author and character or something like that.

Ah, the fad. Twilight has hit Australia too; I can still remember between year 7 and 8 where every girl (not sexism, just statistics) was completely head over heels for the thing. I have to say, even I was hooked on it before I realised how abysmally low the "saga" was as a whole. And to think that... Yeesh.

Off-topic, but I have a music recommendation for you: youtube.com/watch?v=ohgr51CqliY

I'm not sure how to go about describing their genre of music. It's labelled as "indie rock" on Wiki (I suck, I know) but it IS more accurately as a dreamy sort of pop, and I can hear maybe undertones that sound a little grunge-y (poked around a bit, I can see you like the genre). Though I might be wrong, I'm not good at placing things into specific music genres.

Don't know if you've heard of them, but the song's "Sylvia" by a band interestingly called the Antlers. And you guessed it right, it makes a reference to the lovely Plath. Beware, though. That whole album is known to drive its listeners to depressive troughs of despair.

I think it's a pretty beautiful, melancholy piece of music that I can almost imagine as Sylvia's prose come to melodic life. Really, really haunting. The song just immediately came to mind when we got talking about Sylvia Plath. But this is all in my opinion so you can shoot me down if I'm wrong.

Oh, and ADDED YOU!
