Oh you didn't post the whole thing. I know I've read this story before and there was more of it! :) I loved it then and I love it now. Thank you!

This is an amazing story. I read your original years ago and loved it. I could join your other fans in lamenting the abandonment of so fine a piece of work, but as an author who has similarly left a story languishing due to life's annoying habit of getting in the way, I completely understand. I hope that the circumstances leading to this story's unfinished state were happier rather than tragic, and will continue to hope that someday you may be inspired to take it up again.

NO! T_T Only now I realised that this story wasn´t updated since 2006. Why are the best ones always left incomplete? Unfair, this is so unfair...

Marvelous start! I am actually new in this fandom and found your work as one of the winners in a competition, so I decided to give it a shot, even though I would like to see Eric with Christine (if she only weren´t so childish and sometimes dense...)

I´m only at the third chapter and have to say you did a great work :) There is just one thing that struck me as odd - Genevieve seems like a proud and sort of detached person who likes her privacy. One paragraph in this chapter, however, starting with Genevieve saying ""No, of course not. They hated it actually! " seems too open, too forward, too forthcoming with information, and to me it looks a little out of character for her. (This is actually a good thing that i noticed and shows your skill in writing, I don´t usually see the "character" of many new created characters until well into the story, if I ever see it).

Don´t you want to cut her little monologue somehow with things like "she sighed", or paused, or somehow to make us see as if she really doesn´t want to talk about it?

I know many, many, many people have already written to you about this, but I just had to. I have been searching high and low for your orignal version, and have only managed to find up to chapter 39. Do you intend to repost it? I know every one of your fans would love to reread your original - it seems you have abandoned your revised story, and that really breaks my heart, but could you at least put us out of our misery?

It is the best phantom fanfiction I have ever (and will ever, probably) read, and I loved it years ago and still do. Someone mentioned you should get it published. I whole-heartedly agree. It's brilliant.

I don't know what is going on in your life at the moment - I hope everything is alright, and this isn't the reason you've not posted or anything.

Please, please, I am literally begging you. Repost or let us know what is going on. Thank you for posting it in the first place - it was fantastic.

Well, as I left you one review on the last chapter, I can't write another now that I've finished reading all the story again.

Even remembering very well the story (and the continuation you wrote before) I was totally... I can't even think of the right English word right now. I will just say that I spend most of my classes today reading it, and that now it's 2am and I couldn't go to bed without reading everything.

I can't see all the changes, as I read the first version so long ago, but I had notice the introduction of the sewing machines, and I think that the story is just even greater than I remembered it.

As I told you before, you're a great writer, and I hope you keep publishing this story, because I've never found any other phic like this, so well written, so exciting, so touching... And hot, by the way. :)

I'm not gonna say to you all that things that some people like saying to writers, as "you are mean and I hate you for letting us without more, blah, blah", because I totally understand how difficult is to find the time to write, even the inspiration, or just the mood. I have found myself in that situation far too many times, but I always think of all the people my stories make happy and try to find the time, and the strength to keep writing. I also understand how and illness can change you, and get you all blue. If I have to be honest, I was pretty scare of something happening to you. I think I recall that you're husband was on Irak and I've bean scared many times that something bad happened that could have messed your life up.

I hope you're not writing just because you're too happy and busy with happy things to find time for this, but, even if that it's, please, remember that we will be here any time you wanna get back to this lovely, amazing story.

(I hope as well that you could understand everything I said, my English has improved a lot since my last reviews, but I still make lost of mistakes).

Wishing to hear soon from you,

May, you're most devoted Spanish fan

Hi!

You sure don't remember me with so many reviews, but I read you since the very beginning, from Spain. I saw the film last night and I'm all Phantom again, so I came to re-read you AMAZING story. I still love it as the first time, and I just download several chapters to my iPod so I could read it again on the bus.

I just want you to know that you were and amazing writer, and I'm sure you still are, so, please, keep writing, end this story, and then FIND AN EDITOR, because this deserve to be published.

I remember when you uploaded every day, and I was like crazy refreshing the web over and over again...

If you don't end re-writing, you could at least publish everything you wrote before, because it was very beautiful.

Well, I hope this review, at least, make you a little happier and even want to write again.

Best wishes from Spain,


May

I thought again of this fic after a long time and searched hell and high water to find it. Even posted on a forum to look for it, thankfully someone sent me a link.

I assumed that since it had been over a year at least since I had read it, that it would have been updated or completed by now.

I am extremely disappointed that it has not changed a bit since the last time I read it.

And the fact that you remain quiet about your intentions, not even letting us know on your Author Page or adding a chapter to let us know what has been going on, or whether or not you intend to finish it at all!

If you intend to let it go, then let us know, or let someone take it over that you can trust with it! It is a really good Phanfic, quite possibly the best out there, and it is sad to see it go to waste!

Why not even let your fans know? Please let us know one way or another. But frankly we all hope you will finish the fic, as it deserves!

Please let us know as soon as possible, surely your life can't be so hectic that you can't take 2 minutes to let your devoted fans wallow in disappointment.

Thanks for writing a great story, however it may be unfinished.

I just re-read this phic and still love it, it's one of the very best in the poto-corner here. I already loved it before you started re-writing (it had been up to chapter 40 or so?) please please Mandy, will you finish it? Although I don't really think I should be asking this, because I myself have abandoned my own best story. But still, please, think of your readers, finish it! *falls on knees and begins to beg and cry*

I just re-read your fic and I still love it! (I loved it before you decided to change it but I understand that you had backed yourself into a corner.) I just hope that you haven't given up on it. If you need a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, I would be more than happy to oblige. I truly loved you fic when I read it before you changed it and I still love it! I wait with much anticipation for your next chapter. XD

It makes me very sad to know that this story may never be completed. It was one of the very best in the POTO section... and I'm not even an E/OW shipper. (I'm loyally E/M ^_^)

This phic almost turned my shipping, but then it never continued. And we couldn't even read the chapters that had already been posted anymore.

However, I have found another site that has up to chapter 39!

I do realize that some of the best parts of the story come right after this! But... it's better than nothing. =(

I hope everything in your life is well, Mandy. And thank you for your wonderful story. I just wish I could read it one more time...

Uugh! That kiss makes me blush every time I read it, even in it's original incarnation it had me blushing right to my toes. I really hope you post on this again soon. The anticipation for what's to come is just killing me. You are, without a doubt, one of the absolute best POTO authors around. I don't care how long it takes you to put up the next chapter, I'll wait an eternity (hehe) if I have to ^^

I know it's been almost a year since the last update, but I do wish you would finish this wonderful story. You have so many fans here, please give us an update!

oh, i do hope you feel like finishing this story soon! i love your work, and it always inspires me when i read your fics.
i understand having a life, but we're all on tenterhooks with anticipation!
captivating, realistic, and breathless, your stories are fantastic, and i do hope to see more.

You know, you haven't updated in a year. I think it's safe to say this isn't going to be finished any time soon, so in the mean time, could you post the old unfinished version somewhere for us to read? Pretty please? I loved that story!
