Now that I'm back from having disappeared for a few months (I do that), I'm trying to get caught up with some fics that I had been reading, and I'm starting with your "Best Laid Plans." In the event that I don't all the way caught up before the thread-bumping limit passes, I may dump some thoughts on your visitor message page (or I could PM if you prefer), just letting you know. :D
lmfao I never cracked up so much over your thread about making a career out of writing, lots of hilarious posts in there!! but as it is closed... unfortunately... I just wanted to say, I want to make a career out of it too; smart move as they say, side job first until you're famous and best-selling.
Pardon me, my good sir, but I was wondering how you managed to write that many words this month, and still have more to go. My fics tend to run on the short side, so I'm in awe of yours.
This past week has been rather busy for me at work, which is why I fell behind in reviewing your story. In one more week, though, I'll be on vacation, so you can update all you'll want to. I'll have plenty of time to review.
In case you've been out of the loop, we all review at the same time because of the big review challenge that's going on right now. We're coming into the home stretch, so updates and new stories get pounced upon right away. The fact that everyone pounces on yours so with such gusto and enjoyment goes to your credit, of course. :)
EDIT: Ah, I can't believe I forgot to mention that I thought the Italian was cool. If you ever need German in a story, I'm your guy. xD
Jax was telling me how her inner-Italian student disagreed with my butchering of the language. In any case, she might be your best bet for Italian, I hope.
Also, just finished the chapter. I'll get a review up sometime later tonight, possibly after another one I was planning on getting done.
