Haha at this point I have definitely converted into a fan of yours! Due to time I have jumped chapters but so far this is a WORK OF ART. I am taken back by your storytelling skills. There's so much passion in this you feel it. I will come back and read in depth! Lovely work CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MORE 8D

I just wanted to say thank you for explaining more about your reasons. I understand you better now. I certainly do believe that authors on here deserve to be reviewed more than they often are!
I have never written fanfiction, but I have written other things, and if your experience in writing is like mine, then it is very personal and close to your heart.
My point is, I am glad that you were not simply looking for praise for your ego, and I can empathize with your wanting to improve. It probably doesn't matter to you, but I respect that you laid out your reasoning and philosphy about writing here.

Aw it's over =(. I liked the ending of this better than your last one "Whispers In The Night", I always felt that the ending for that one seemed a bit rushed =/. I would like to see what the original will be like. I'm starting back up on fictionpress but can't post anything until about 8 pm on the 3rd =/ [which at the moment will be all my poems]. My penname on there is the same as on here [had to start a new account because I couldn't remember the login info for my other one, plus I deleted the email account I used for it too, silly me I should've changed it first ><]. But anyway can't wait to see the next Regency England fic!

OMG I totally understand what you mean, I freaking HATE that! I'm having that problem with my Sessho/Kag story Into The Night on here. I wanting write something like this but I just haven't thought of anything to be completely honest =/. My plot bunnies are vacationing ><. I don't usually review with critics cuz I normally don't find anything wrong [mostly because i'm not raking through the story with a fine toothed comb, I just wanna read it! lol]

I'm so happy to see that you didn't discontinue this story for real. I'm also happy to see that Malik finally proposed to Anzu and that they got married. I'm looking forward to updates of your other stories. Keep up the good work!

I did like the interaction between Anzu and Malik. I think that Anzu's reaction was realistic. Malik's reaction was really honest too. I like that he's not perfect or changed into some sort of sap, but you can see his changes.

My CC would the part with Otogi. It seemed a bit repetitive. I think that it's not necessary to state all the details, when the reader already knows what happened. Maybe give a line that explains that Bakura tells him and have Otogi's reaction.

Marik amuses me. Calling Anzu fat. You think that he would learn something about tact from Isis.

And I'm so excited to see about the wedding proposal. Which is what I'm going to guess will happen next chap.

I'm not sure if I agree with Bakura or not on what he did. He was certainly correct about letting her know because Malik would never let Anzu know. Anzu seems to be resourceful enough to learn about this eventually. She took the whole thing that Seto's story a bit easier than many girl would have.

Then again, what girl doesn't like a bad boy?

Ah, the drama. I'm rambling.

As for reviews, I blame this magical virus that has been spreading around the internet. It's called laziness.

I think you need more reviews. I completely understand your frustration.

Yay! Love you, love you, love you so much! It took me a while to finish it, but I liked your fic very much *o*
there was something that bothered me, when Marik told Anzu that she was fat I tought that she could be pregnant... sigh... I'd love to see a baby born from this couple. Oh, well, your fic is fantastic as it is... maybe for the next one? XD
Ah... before I forget, I saw that you have two more fics based in this time and place (changing Malik for Bakura and Marik) that I'm going to read, and I was wndering if you are planning to write one with Seto; because Seto/Anzu is my favourite couple in Yugioh and I'm 100% sure that I would love it.
See yah,
Amestriss.

You know...this is really sad. I was a fan of your fic "beauty" and thought you were an inspired writer...but wow, an author who holds her readers hostage for reviews? If you weren't getting any reviews, then I would understand--but you have over 100 reviews, full of people giving crit. and praise. I feel sorry for the devoted readers of this fic, who clearly loved it. They gave you more help than most writers receive on this site. And though I understand that no doubt you put a lot of work into your stories, it seems to me that you're the one who's being most ungrateful here.

No! You can't just discontinue this story when it's almost ending. I understand why you want to discontinue it though. I'm sad to see that you're ending this story. I hope you won't do this to your other stories though. I think you are a great writer and I love your stories. They are really well written. Anyways, I'm looking forward to you updating you're other stories.

I honestly thought that John Mackin was secretly alive and behind this. Guess I was extremely wrong. So they will get their happily ever after.

You were descriptive. It was clear. Sometimes, I feel that the chapter was a little too wordy, but overall it's well-written. You're very detailed.

Er...cliffhanger. This story is almost over soon? It's a shame. It's hard to find decent YGO stories that are written well, let alone decent plots.

I love how Isis says they won't expect a guy with a gun, and it ends up being a girl. Very naive, Isis. Very naive.

I have a feeling that there's someone who's pulling the strings other than Yami or Lady Raddison.

You mentioned something about social drama in your review, so I hope everything works out.

good update!

So, I haven't reviewed in forever.
This story is brilliant! I love how you managed to include detailed description of the scenario the characters find themselves in without boring the audience.

The feelings were articulated very clearly too. And the twists, while some of them are rather cliche, still exhilarated me. I love how both Malik and Anzu love each other enough that they can trust each other's decisions without reacting immaturely about it.

Seto is still... bleh... just because he seems too unprofessional to join in with the trio. He barely has the composure to pull through with the mission.

Bakura is perfectly flamboyant with his messing with everyone's mind and whatnot. I love it!! And I even like Marik now even if he's a little too impulsive and brash. But every story needs a Marik to exploit the true conflict.

I guess my only problem is that it took them way too long to figure out that it was Yami and Radisson who were behind the murders all along... Like, I thought they would've looked more into it, but then the Seto affair happened, as well as Malik falling in love, but yea... I'm kinda glad that they're nearing the conclusion though :)

Can't wait for next chapter :)

These recent chapters have been packed with heaps of drama, I'm really looking forward to your next super-speedy-amazing update! -hinthint- xD

Good luck writing the next chapter. God knows how draining it can get...
