This is a good story so far! But, you should make Nan & Frank go out. They belong together. But anyway, please continue the story!

This is an awesome story and you need to update it soon please. I've been writing out reviews all morning because this site has some of the most amazing talent. I think you are great and I want to see more of your writing.

At long last, I'm reviewing this chapter. (Thank you, FFN for getting back on track!)

Best part of the whole chapter was Ned and Nancy's phone conversation. You really play with both reader perception of their relationship, and how this couple perceives each other.

Ned and Nancy aren't strangers to conflict in canon. I like that you used that history to show that while they care for each other, things aren't always perfect between them.

Is Nancy truly jumping to conclusions in regards to Ned's 'tone'? Does she have some underlying reason to think Ned is harboring a little jealousy when it comes to Frank?

“Well, you just assumed that I’m jealous, didn’t you? Even though I was asking perfectly normal, polite questions.”

I'm sympathizing with Ned on this one!

Sorry about not reviewing before. I'm bad. :(

I loved that little conversation between Nancy and Ned on the phone. I can understand the frustration coming from both of them, especially Ned. It can't be easy having a girlfriend like Nancy Drew.

I hope you can update again soon. But I also appreciate that you are taking your time with the story and that you're putting so much effort into it. Good for you! :)

sorry this has taken me so long to get to this. I have another that i need to read as well but it will take me a little longer. It seems that Ned is tired of coming in second. The question is if they have been dating for so long it seems thaty he should know what to expect. You did a good job on this. Sorry I have bot been keeping up with your stories. It seems as if yoiu have some others that require reading but I have school work that I need to be working on. I'll talk to you later. Arigaot and ja ne!

stay gone another year it might improve your writing.

With a story as intriguing as this one, the phrase "Better late that never!" certainly applies :) I am so, so glad that you updated. I can't wait to watch this story unfold. I love how you wrote Mrs. Dinalto -- she had a very distinct voice to her character. And the conversation between Nancy and Ned at the end was very well done -- it spoke volumes about the tension in their relationship right now.

You know that I hope it won't be another year between updates, but even if it is, I'll be waiting patiently!

I have no idea if I've been reviewing in this story or not. But I have been following it (and I'm so glad you updated!!) I have to admit, I was extremely surprised by Mrs. Dinalto and her confession. I wasn't expecting the extortion bit, and I really felt bad for her.

I also couldn't help but laugh at Mr. Donatelly and his staff when Nancy arrived with paperwork. It was classic! (Btw, maybe it's just me, or maybe you are doing it on purpose to confuse us, but Dinalto and Donatelly are two names I'm getting confused pretty easily. If you're doing it on purpose, then you are pure evil! ^_^ If not, then I'm just struggling with a tiny detail!)

I feel so bad for Nancy and Ned, seperately. I feel bad for Ned because it's not fair to him the lack of attention he's getting from Nancy, however, she is doing something she loves and that's just part of her. And Nancy.. well.. Ned needs to be more honest. Quit leading each other on. Talk , and then move on.

But I guess this is part of why this fic is called "Separation Anxiety" I suppose.

But I love the tension between the two, makes for great material! Keep up the fantastic work! :)

I was honored by the request, katie! And pleased to witness the forehead-smacking moment. ;-)

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... but not caring much... here I go! ;-)

First of all, and it has to be said... Thanks for not letting it go!

Second... sure it was a "pokey" chapter, but you pulled it off beautifully. And right when Nancy is getting tired working, BOOM, phone call from the one and only.

The phone conversation was great. Congrats on capturing the tension between Nancy and Ned and contrasting it with their recent anniversary. It was great to have Nancy emphasize Joe as well as Frank.

Great job with Ned, by the way. Very in-character.

Anyway, to curb my redundancy, I'll close by saying, "Bravo!" and don't make us wait another year for the next update!" ;-)

Kidding, of course. You're a pleasure to read, as always! :-D

love it...

I am liking this story! Please update soon.

just wanted to let you know, I'm really enjoying this story. I think it's starting off really well. I like Nancy's interaction/fight with Ned, he's never really been able to handle all her detective work and, even though I know he tries, he can't really understand/fully support her decision to keep doing what she does. She needs someone who understands her better & is able to share in her passion for helping people and mystery. (if you couldn't already tell I love N/F stories but if you decide to not go there that's cool too... a girl can always hope right?) Hopefully you'll bring the hardy boys into the story in the next chapters and maybe even callie (she and nancy could get into a little cat fight... that would be kinda funny) I hope you finish your research soon and get a chance to update more often...

good so far. needs more ned. ;) seems like he wanted to tell her something and didn't, and i was pretty sure whatever he said was going to be negative. i'm intrigued, though. what a huge gambling debt.

Just found your story... It is awesome but i see that you havent updated in a long time. I hope that you will return to this story again, it is really interesting and I would love to find out how it ends. Please... update?

hey! I see you have a story up. I'll try to keep up with it so I can see what you ahve up your sleeve. Arigato and ja ne!
