Wow, I just spent the last day and a half reading The Ivy Green and An Ordinary Family. I realize that I am late (about 2 years) to the game, but I thought I'd drop an not to say that the stories were wonderful and I look forward to reading your others.

I really hope you plan to continue this story. It's a very drawing plot that makes me wonder just how it's all going to come together.

Please keep writing!! I'm so lost without new chapters, your writing is so different. You have made me a very happy fan. :)
~luv~

Please update soon am new to criminal intent but really enjoying your fanfic

i like the story

Please finish this. I know you're taking time off it, but still it's great! I'd loved to see the finished product! :) Now about Eros...where do i find that story? LOL!

hey there

first of all massive kudos for writing such an awesome series!! mucho impressed!! i want to be able to write like you some day :)

second, i know you're on sabbatical from loci fics at the moment, but please show us all a little love and write us even a mini chapter to tide us over

and just thought i would share that i started to read the ivy green (then worked my way back , not realising there were stories before it )and kept doing the 'one more chapter' thing...

next thing i know, i'm finished reading upto this chapter on an ordinary family and it's 3:30 am!

it's comforting to know that there are still writers out there that can wrap me up so much in the story time flies past without my realising!

i'll stop ranting now incase i've scared you a little...

feel the appreciative love :D

It's taken me almost two days to read not only this story, but the ones leading to it and I now find myself in a position that I'm sure many of your readers are in:

Waiting.

I noticed the story hasn't been updated since Nov. last year. I for one hope everything is well and perhaps you're only suffering from writers block.

I plan to read your other stories as well.

Here's to hearing from you soon.

A.M. Glass

Your Ivy series is well written and has a great mix of humor with pathos and drama - they're a pleasure to read.

Well, I'm certainly enjoying this story :) I hope you are doing all right in Boston with your job and internships...unless you are back home by now because the last update was November...in any case I hope you're doing well.

Ah man...I'm all teary eyed :)

Why did they take her out in cuffs...well...okay maybe trying not to show favoritism...all right nevermind. Great chapter but damn Jack McCoy what's the problem!?

Ah, you remembered, over not up! And water balloons - the best fun ever :)

Oh man...I really have been gone too long! Faith Yancy - that's rich :)

So listen, I really, *really* like this story. This whole series, actually. You have a talent for making a whole lot of stuff happen without making the whole thing seem like an insane melodrama of ridiculous implausability. I also love your flair for getting the secondary character-voices right. Wheeler's eye-rolls play out like they're on TV, and Logan's snark is perfect. McCoy's vocabulary (Charlatan) was spot on, and I could see Danielle with such perfection that I was certain you must've been stealing her dialogue straight from an actual episode. You've mellowed Ross out quite a bit, and I applaud you on that. (Everytime he talks to Bobby on the show, my blood pressure actually goes up.)

I am in love with Ivy, by the way. You've created a stunning array of original characters, and managed to make them very fleshed out and life-like by not over-describing them. The Eames family feels so natural, because you let the characters be who they are, instead of every time on is mentioned it being "Sam, Alex's brother". I love all the interaction, and the strength of the family.

Alex's rape was risky, and usually a "jump-the-shark" move in long fics, but this was well done. She wasn't incoherent and broken down, but she also wasn't totally okay. You've allowed for a healing process, and I've really enjoyed the whole ride. Just wish you'd let Bobby beat the shit out of Mark, but *sighs* oh well. =P

I'm totally hoping you let Bobby and Alex give up on this insane charade of not-being-in-love before they go through with the artificial insemination, because, let's face it...

any turkey baster but Bobby's is really just a pathetic second.

I've just spent a very large part of the day reading this whole series, but somewhere amidst the multitude of excellent chapters, this particular bit of dialogue ocurred:

"“Entrapment,” the woman screamed. “These cops are kidnapping me. I’ll get you for this.” She let loose a wordless guttural scream that pierced the air around them.
“Jesus Christ!” exclaimed Eames. “Use your right to remain silent!”"

I just want you to know that I laughed and laughed and *laughed* at that. It absolutely killed me. Such an Eame's thing to say, and just perfect.

Since I'm the world's slowest updater, I'm not going to ask you to rush for an update. Just know I'll read the next chapter eagerly when it comes.

Thanks for writing this, and I can't wait for more!

Cheers! :)

Spence.
