I'm a former writer, just reading stories out of curiousity. I would deeply enjoy the hidden chapters. my email is

Hey Mindy..

I really appreciate what you have written so far..
Unfortunately I have reached the point where the real juicy chapters aren't available because of its contents.. I can guarantee that I'm not underage and I would really enjoy reading the full and uncut version; therefore I would be very happy if you would sent it to me?
I'm not sure if it was here somewere that I read that you couldn't type your email without it getting deleted? Whether or not it is here, I'm going to try and disguise it anyway.. The first part is avi_24 then the at sign... and then it is hot mail?? and of course com.. I hope I made it somehow clear what I wanted to say? And thank you for a great story..

Yours sincerely
Aviaja

Wonderful characterisation! That's got to be the first thing I say. There are many great stories out there, with great plots, lovely ideas, good perpectives and feelings that shine across. But what puts your story apart from the others is the great, great characterisation. All of them - Kate, Gibbs, Dinozzo, McGee, Abby, Ducky... Oh, it's so good! I really love reading little quips so typical of those characters, and I can really imagine them doing and saying those things. I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Gibbs/Kate. I was curious and scanning around. I think, whether or not I like Kate/Gibbs, I honestly love your story. Wonderful plot - great. Fantastic how you've placed each chapter between periods of time, and I think that's really effective. Ditto for the tenses, which, although odd and confuding, add to your fantastic style of writing. I think you have so much potential as an author/ess. There's nothing I can find to criticise. Usually I find the spelling and grammar, despite good writing and plots, annoy the heck out of me, but yours is pretty flawless, and I commend you on writing an absolutely stunning piece of work. And you've managed to finish it (!), in comparison to many out there who never update. It was a real joy reading the "realness" of it all, how believable you made it all seem, so keep up the good work. You, and this story, are brilliant.

This was a wonderful way to celebrate your 50th FF! A nice, sweet FF with a happy ending. (Yes, I can be a sap! :-) ) I particularly liked Tony's comments in Chapter 11, and I can imagine Kate in that sarong.

Another beautiful story, and congrats on #50.

Thank you,Mindy-it's always a pleasure to read your fics,but this one was brilliant!:D Hope we will read new Kibbs stories from you soon.:)

Whoo hoo! Now that's hot and romantic! And the humor of
this honeymoon-Gibbs in a sarong? LOL!

Thanks for a good story! It was worth the angsty ride!

THANK YOU MINDY,
for the beautiful story with a happy ending, the best to read...
ANd I am waiting for the R rated part...soon I hope

Nice ending.

Great story, Mindy!

The bizarre image of Gibbs in Kate's sarong is going to stick with me for a while, I think. :-)

Thanks for posting this!

OW, Mindy: superb ! as always you do...
I´ve spent 14 days working at the field, in Patagonia, and had no internet con. and you know what? I suffered 14 days thinking on this chapter that you had posted and I couldn´t read... but the wait made the pleasure greater! I really loved it, so sweet. Almost incredible... LJ Gibbs proposing her in front of everybody. THANKS YOU ARE THE BEST KIBBS!
PLEASE, WOULD YOU SEND ME THE SEQUEL, OR THE PREVIOUS ADULT VERSION OF THE LAST CHAPTER?...I TRIED TO ACCESS THE ADULT SECTION , I ASKED BAT FOR ADDING ME IN THE LIST AND NEVER GOT IT... (SNIF).

Hello there. Still loving the story, and wanting the NC-17 part, please. Before the at sign should be an mbowman and following it will be muskingum, a dot, then edu.

Hope that goes through ok! Keep up the excellent writing!

Bravo, Mandy! :) The way Gibbs proposed was so sweet and... so Gibbs! Loved how Tony and McGee helped in the process. Oh, wow. This chapter is just wonderful!

OMG,Mindy!That was so adorable,and romantic,and cute!:DTHANK YOU!

Ah! Thank you -what a Monday treat! LOL!

I really like the double tap...DiNozzo was so asking for
it! But the romance of it just gets you...thanks for a
wonderful update!

Now what?:)
