Okay, so normally I hate when writers post one version and then revise it but this. I love this new direction. It's really moving the story along and is HOTTTT. Please update tonight!

Author's Response: Thanks for being so opened-minded. The previous version was bugging the heck out of me and I realize I took it down the wrong road, but I'm back on track. This is something I never do and I was afraid some of my older fans wouldn't like it. Some of them did, others were angry, but what can I do? One thing for sure, it won't happen again. 

You know what I love about your stories other than everything? I always find them when they are like 20 chapters deep which means I can just sit back, read, and enjoy and not get antsy for updates until the end.                                                                                                                                      But when I reach the end...it is on.  Love it!           

I adore all your work and this is probably one of my favorites even though it is very difficult to read at times because of the extremely emotional content. Difficult in a good way, a way that makes Kleenex happy. So glad you are posting here. Don't forget about the Animates!

Author's Response:

Thank you!

And don't worry... there is still one more chapter for Living Among People. It's undergone several revisions, but still isn't quite right. The moment I get there, I will post. Promise.

I have to say, Jason beneath the tree with the wolf pup on his lap is one of my favorite images from this story. 

Evil Miranda Adler!

That is all.  

I really do just love this story.

 I love the characters, the plot, the descriptions, the care you put into all of it. It's just great. It's exciting and romantic and just a really, really good story. And I know that's not enough praise for how much I adore this story but it is sincere.

Now let's talk schedule, I think one update a day until you're done will work for  me- everyone- me.

Honestly, I am Snoopy on a dog house right now. Soooooo happy! 

Seriously, woman. I am sitting in my chair singing your name like it was the theme song to "Two and Half Men."

I am so glad you reposted. You are far too talented to not share your work with the world. Yay Val!

I'll stop now, I'm getting misty.

VAAALLL!!!!!! Snoopy Dance!!!! 

Dear Stalkee,

I am still not reviewing in order but I just have to say that I love and have always loved the scene with the piano. The image of Carla anchoring herself to it while trying to reach for Jason (Thorsten, whatever) it always makes me misty. That scene is probably what  earned you your best international stalker (that's me, by the way).

I'm not even going to pressure you about Red sky (today) because you got Riverdance of DEATH!! (note the exclamation points) n the horizon and that story is making me smile just thinking of it.

And then that Freddie Ljundberg....yum...you may have earned yourself two days of no pressure. Yum.

Great work woman, great publishable work.

No bunnies will be boiled in any pots today.

Love (with wee golden knives),

Your Stalker 

So I am not pressuring you (yet) but you have to write a story for Kyle...and Tobias. No pressure. I love that I am picking up all this stuff I didn't notice before. They way they pretend to react like humans like, nice little detail there Miss Val. As always I cannot wait for more...and I don't have to. Yay!!!!

This is it? You make us wait forever for your updates and this is all you give us? I need more! Now!

But the link works!

This sucks! Kidding, kidding.

This chapter...I am choked up. It was compelling, riveting....everything good story telling should be.

Why you are not published I just don't know.

Thank you for sharing your gifts.

I kinda am falling in love with Reese and Markel, the backsotry of who they are, the Freak and the Geek. I cannot believe you thought this would be a three chapter story. Nut ball. Anywho, onto The Sex and Reese. The hotness, oh the hotness. I love them together. And you have 60 minutes. Get to posting.

Grant, Grant, Grant...trouble in the making i do believe. But yay for rex buying a clue! Go to her man!!! Well done. And it is manana. nowa.
