So good. ;__;

Stefanie is- in a way- heartbreaking, she seems very real to me. Her relationship with Manfred, her aspirations, that scene with baby Franziska- all her tiny details.

Thank you very much! I'm glad Stefanie came off well, because she is, at the end of the day, an OC, and I know that people don't usually leap into fics to read about characters they're unfamiliar with. I really appreciate the feedback.

This was a fantastic fic. I love how you characterized Stefanie, and how you handled Franziska's feelings about her father and her life as a von Karma. Great job. :)

Thank you! As I said above, I'm really happy that Stefanie doesn't seem clunky or out of place among all the other von Karmas. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you again for the comment.

Oh oh! This was so so well-written. I don't think Stefanie was clunky at all. She fits, er if that makes sense.

And I sympathized with her heavily.

Fics like this make me so happy. Thank you for the awesome story.

Beautifully done. I really loved Stefanie - she worked so well with the Von Karmas, same with Katrin. Everything fit together really neatly, and you are such a wonderful writer I don't even.

Aw, thank you kindly! I'm glad you liked them both. /o/

Pretty sure my icon can do all the talking.

I'm actually not familiar the canon - I've heard things, and I've read things, and I listen in on the conversations my group of younger friends have about it, so I can't really say anything about how she's been incorporated into the canon with this story of yours.

But I really love your style of writing, I love all of these other fics you've written and I've been a long time stalker fan. Even if I'm quite unfamiliar with the fandoms, I'll still read it (like this one) and enjoy it very much. Kudos to you.

Aw, man, this is such a lovely comment to get. I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that you like the writing itself, even though your unfamiliar with the canon - it makes me feel like I'm doing something right. Thank you very much! ♥

No problem~ ♥ I've started looking into Final Fantasy (namely XIII /shot) because of your writing, too. I'm hoping to see if I can borrow the games from anyone to play, though I'm not too much of a gamer, ahah (I'll end up ragequitting not even half way through, just watch) o/
