So this is going to be a long, rambling comment, and for that, I'm sorry.

No apologies, I'm a rambler myself and quite enjoy it in others :D

back when you wrote Brooke/Sam fic and Jessie/Katie fic (that was you, wasn't it?)

Yep, that was me ... ages ago :)

(I could always see them together in the back of my mind, especially in New Moon - I believe - when Bella did something to hurt herself and Alice helped her shower... yeah, that's not gay at all).

lol, yeah New Moon was incredibly gay and awesome for all things Bellice. I think it was after Phoenix when her leg was in a cast that Alice was practically living at the Swan's helping Bella with the mundane things the cast got in the way of. Best. Girlfried. Ever before they were even dating :D

I have spent the last two days reading this fic non stop (if I fail my finals this semester, I'm blaming you ;) j/k, j/k.) and falling in love with these characters all over again, not to mention your writing style.

Aw, thank you so much. I'm thrilled that you've been enjoying it so much. I hope you do well on your finals [small voice]but I also love that you got hooked[/small voice] ;)

and you managed to make Bella less annoying, which is always a plus

This was necessary for my sanity. I've still written some parts where I'm like, "Bella, you're an idiot!" but I don't want to strangle her like I did in the books ;)

Also, look for a comment coming on the prologue soon, I have a question for you.

I'll keep my eyes peeled :D

Thanks so much for the detailed, thoughtful comment and I hope that you enjoy what's to come!
