MissTeak, i miss you! I hope all is well and that you return soon!!!

Oh, Miiissssss Teeeaaaakkkk!!!!

Hi!

Miss Teak, I am so glad to see you return to writing. Your latest additions have been wonderful to read. I was inspired by your "Adventures of Chibimaru and Gang" and drew a bit of fanart that I submitted. I hope you enjoy it.

Jasmine! So, I am now responding to your lovely wall post from, like, forever ago because that's how long I haven't been on Dokuga. lol. Family issues has been keeping me real busy. I'm sorry to hear you lost your advance chapters, but I am sure you'll be able to make them up in no time. I understand how that would get you down though since that has happened to me on more than one occasion too.

So, tell me about your full time job and what else has been going on since we last talked. Do you have a boyfriend now? Eh? *nudgenudge* lol.

As for Retribution, which Taiwanese horror movie are you basing it off of? I'm dying of curiosity! lol. Because I totally want to see it.

WHAT. WHAT. OH MY. Well, looks like it's time to get married Jazz.

Oh my gosh. Are you serious? You have no idea how happy that made me! The last chapter left me wanted more, and to hear that I just might be getting more very soon - GAH! Though that does stink that you have to go back and do research again. But all your efforts definitely shine through your writing, so they aren't going to waste! They make your story so realistic. It really gives it an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're watching a movie with all the small details you put in there. Eeek! I'm so excited for it! You can do it Jazz! *cheers you on with little pom-poms*

Aw, well thanks, Jazz! You're sweet, insightful reviews always encourage me to write more!

Btw, you're doing SUCH a wonderful job on Neighbor Wars! It's the perfect read for me, and I can do a little each day! The storyline is such a riot, and I can't wait to see how you will let the story unfold!

AH! Thank you so much! It was such an amazing surprise to receive such a glowing review from a writer of your caliber! I'm having a gushing-fangirl moment of my own now, tyvm

I'm hoping to be able to have some updates for the full-length Precious Blood fic once Stealing Heaven is completed. I have an idea for the plot, but there are still some details that need to be figured out. I try to (and occassionally manage to)update my other stories while Heaven is in progress, but that's sporadic at best since I'm really trying to focus on just getting that finished (it'll be my first completed fanfic [since you really can't count one-shots as complete, 'cause they're complete as soon as they're posted] so as you can imagine, I'm really excited about that idea).

And then there's the plunnies . . . like Khem . . . little Egyptian-garbed plot-bunnie bouncing around and nibbling at me. If it wasn't for the plunnies, I'd probably have finished Heaven months ago, lol.

Again, thank you so much for such an amazing review- it really means so much! *hugs* And, for the record, yes- I'm very proud of my lemons

I have been fairing well, MissTeak! And how have you been?
And you are always welcome for the reviews!

Thank you so much for that wonderful review on Khem. It's not that I don't like how the writing came out or anything like that- it was more like . . . because I'd intended for the first chapter to actually go into Kagome and Sesshomaru's first 'tryst', but when I realized how long it was getting already, I made the decision to cut it. Looking back over it I was like 'It's good to go, but . . . eh, I don't know," 'cause it felt kind of lacking because I knew what I originally wanted for that first chapter and it just didn't work out that way.

I'm really glad you like it, though, that makes me feel a lot better. Now I'm off to catch up on Retribution! . . . Sorry I don't get to review that story every much, it's just I'm usually stuck reading on my iPod and the darn thing doesn't let me leave reviews.

You're very welcome! You stories are ALL wonderful! Can't wait to read more and more from you!

Wow, sounds like a cool job! I wish you the best of luck in it! Sounds very interesting in that you are so diverse and having to deal with all of your clientele from all over, I'm impressed. I agree with you in that there are so many different countries where you are at.

I am half filipino (my mom's side of the family) and I was there in the Philippines earlier this year. It was so amazing seeing and being around part of my heritage (which I am so proud of) but seeing how people on that side of the world live because there was so many diverse and different people from all over that were there. So being able to work with clientele from different countries on your side of the world must be pretty awesome!

I live in the United States and work for a healthcare insurance company doing provider appeals. Unfortunately, I don't go to school but I do have a plan to go soon.

I think that you are not only an amazing author but you are also a sweet and kind individual and I think that all around you are a wonderful person. I hope that you keep up the incredible job that you have done so far in your writing because I see that you keep getting better and better at it!

Take care and thanks again for being so wonderful!

Your most humble fan,
Sesshoumaru's Lady
