I'm such a dork for wanting to do this. but oh well. I've noticed how in many of their fics, authors take the time to comment to the reviews they've received. So, seeing how appreciative of any feedback I receive, I decided to do the same. Granted, my fics never seem to have enough room for author feedback, so I've decided to do it here.
Don't get discouraged yet! There's a spoiler at the bottom. well, not really. but there are also my shameless little plugs, too!
So, for those of you who were a little confused/disappointed/other about the abrupt ending of chapter 7, I would like to first take this moment to apologize. At the time, I was directing most of my focus to my joint fic, "Don't You Dare". Since, Miss Chang Po and I have now have Writer's Block for the next chapter of that fic (go fig) I wrote three more chapters for "Look Me in the Eye".
But. (there's always a but), unfortunately, my personal comp is being a pain in the ass. You see, I write on that computer, and then transfer it via disk to the family computer that has Internet access. Unfortunately, my computer is sucking its last breaths, and any disk I use on that computer will only work on that computer, and nowhere else. It also doesn't help that the family computer is even reading ANY disks. ::sigh::
In other words. it might be a while with the updates on ANY of my fics. ::double sigh::
Anyway! Back to the task at hand!
Sexy Vixen - Thanks so much for you numerous reviews! I think yours are the most I've received at one time. I'm so glad you like it so much. ::grins:: By the way, 'seeing a man about a horse' is just another way of saying you have to pee. I have a million weird little sayings like that. its hereditary. Some people see it as a curse. ::shrugs:: My kin is weird like that.
Flawless Imperfection - Aieee! I'm glad to have more fans! It's funny how I used to be so opposed to angst, and yet I'm being told how good I am at it. But like I said, I'll try my darndest to get more chaps updated! More angst to come. but all in all, I insist upon happy endings. I'm a sap, I can't help it.
Tina - Who's following them you ask? Don'cha worry, it'll all be explained in the next few chaps.
Sara - Thanks, I try to keep everybody true to their character in the show. While falling madly in love with one another is cool, I like to think that SpikexFaye pairings have to be filled with lots and lots of conflict. ::grins sadistically::
Neko-chan - Glad you're liking it, it's reassuring to know I've pretty much hit the nail on the head while still managing to get reactions from you readers. Don't go into withdrawal on me now. I'd feel guilty.
Bec126 - Thanks, chaps 8-10 will be up as soon as my comp starts cooperatin' again! Pray for me!
Blooknaburg - I love your penname by the way. ::giggles:: I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows that little phrase. I'd have felt really stupid if no one got it. But, on the other. I guess it would've been okay. it is Ed who's saying it, after all. Thanks for your encouragement - I hope my following chaps continue to live up to your expectations.
Arsinoe - Ahhhh! Somebody who shows appreciation for my music choices! I hadn't thought of using 'Stellar', but I do have something in mind for 'Pardon Me' (I love that song. I blast it all the time in my car =P ) And besides, what's Cowboy Bebop without some cool music to go along with it, right? If you've got any more suggestion, feel free to send'em my way.
Lady Razorsharp - Aaaiieee! I'm glad you like my fic - 'specially since I'm such a big fan of your work (though I don't review that often. now I feel guilty. your fics are sooo much better than mine) Actually, seeing it in live action isn't all that odd. that's how I often come up with scenes for my fics. Especially in the café scene - though I think the animation for the show is great - sometimes it doesn't really seem to capture everything that's goin' on, y'know? But it's so cool you're liking it so far, thanks for the awesome reviews! Keep'em coming! ::staggers as ego continues to swell::
Diana Moon - I'm glad you're liking this fic; I also hope that you enjoyed "Jumper" as well. That fic, this one, and 'While You Were Sleeping' all tie together, and as per a reader's request, I am seriously considering writing a sequel to WYWS. Feedback anyone?
Moonwhisper - Aiee. the praise. is too much! Nah, not really; I'm so glad you love my fic, though. I hope you love it even more in the upcoming chapters!
And like I said, I will have chapters 8-10 out as soon as possible. I probably shouldn't say this, as it would probably give away some of the plot. but while this fic has taken on a mind of its own, the original idea for this fic - I'm sure - has been done many times before. The story will be focusing on Faye for a bit, while the emotional conflict between she and Spike won't really start to brew for few chapters to come.
However, rest assured, as I have done with "That's Why They Call it the Blues", I will strive to take the 'already been done' and turn it into the 'completely unexpected plot-twist'. I hope..
Also, I plan on starting on the sequel to TWTCB sometime in the next month. it's been waiting long enough, right?
So, future titles to look for include..
"Just Another Burnt Out Star" - Sequel to "That's Why They Call it the Blues"
summary - Spike's Syndicate past comes back to bite him in the ass.
"Tandemonai" - An AU Inu Yasha fic, written solely by me this time
summary - Kagome climbs out of the while to find herself in a Sengoku
Jidai she hoped she'd never see.
and last but not least.
"Sleeping Awake" - Sequel to "While You Were Sleeping". and no, it's not a songfic.
summary - What if Spike hadn't been unconscious?
