abuseJust ... aw. Lovely.

Jules/Jess make sso much sense, especially since that's what BILB was originally going to be about before Chandra chickened out >_<

But yeah, the dreamy feel is just perfect. It's a feeling all my favs fanfics have, a sense that you can't really convey in a film with a normal plotline - it needs something seperate and wistful to work properly.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Beautiful fic, only BILB I've read that I'm going to favourite and come back to again and again. More please.

abuseUm, wow? I'm in that same mental spot of wondering what's real and how you figure out how real your new life is when things have just changed so drastically and you've made decisions you never have before...so this was really good to read. It's a very surreal experience, and I'd forgotten that other people have it too. :) So thanks. And, as always, go Jess/Jules! *flails about at Parminder Nagra's hotness*

abuseThis story is frackin' brilliant.

Love, love, love the bits about how this new life halfway across the world isn't quite real, not like the old life. The exact same thing happened to me when I moved from northern Canada to the southern US, although I wasn't as eloquent about it. Are you sure you don't live inside my head? :)

And--"She didn't have a map." :D :D :D! Wonderful. ::fangirl::

abuseJust thought you would want to know, there is a separate category for "Bend it Like Beckham" fanfic.

If you want, you can change the category for this fanfic to the "Bend it Like Beckham" category

This way your story and other "Bend it Like Beckham" fanfics don't have to get lost among the numerous stories in the Miscellaneous Movies category.

If you want you can change the category in the Edit Story feature and move it to the "BILB" category.

abuseAww. *melts into a puddle*
Terrific fic; you've got a lot of potential as a writer, in my opinion. You nailed the characters perfectly, and Jules and Jess are among my all-time favorite pairings. I'd totally be up for a sequel if you felt like writing one! :)

abuseLovely. You really did a good job capturing the PoV. Great fanfic, great narrative - what more could you want?!

Besides more, that is.

Keep writing!

Wow. Very very very nice stuff.
Perfectly in character, and you hve to realize that I don't paticularily LIKE Jess/Jules, so when I say that, you've overcome my initial eyerolling reaction.
I particularily like the narrative style, it fits perfectly, and flows well. The story advances nicely, the pacing is good. About the only snag I'm hitting is I can't think of anything to criticise, constructively or otherwise.
Keep up the good work!

abuseWow! That was wonderful - perfectly in character, and the *feel* of it was wonderful, too. And I use the word "wonderful" too much, forgive me.

I almost hate to do it, but I do have one nit-pick. The lines "A lifetime spent having your mum buying clothes for you, whether you're present at the clothes-buying or not. It's given Jess an automatic indifference to shopping, which Jules tries to expunge by taking her to shops that sell crazy Japanese baby tees and rhinestone-studded jeans, and stuff Jess doesn't even know the words for. " kinda bothered me, because they're incomplete and could easily be combined. Maybe it's just me, but this was the only real bump I hit while reading... I hope that makes sense!
