Yo quiero, yo quiero!

Ohhhhhh, please, continue thhis!

nice, sexy fanfic, I would love to see some longer stories. Why don't you try making a longer funny one, if you don't mind my asking. I think humor really seems to be your forte, which is great because that's my favorite.

Very funny...I love the thought of Eric taking English lessons. Thanks for writing such a clever story.

Ok, so I've only read your SVM fic, but this shows your amazing versatility as a writer. So light and fun! I think of you as a poet.

what fun, and a nice zip at the end

chp 2 pls:)

ahhh, so delicious! you nailed eric's character so perfectly in this as both himself, and a Scandinavian student-the humor, sentence structure, mannerisms, everything, that I'm guessing you know a few. but maybe not, because you probably can imagine anything you wish to and make it perfect, because i'm not quite convinced you're human now... lol.

i laughed out loud at Bill's introduction-"he's as repressed as you"-lol! this sookie was the perfect type of repressed-not closed minded, but just waiting for the right viking to set things straight for her. haha. wonderful fic!

It figures.

My love affair with your words probably started right here when I was too green on FFNet to make pdfs of my favorite stories and plowed through the Summer of ’69 Contest without so much as a by your leave to the writers. Bad manners that.

This story stayed with me and I’ve looked for it for months but the association got buried under a mountain of other stories and I pretty much had given up hope of ever seeing it again.

And now I owe Zigster for it, indirectly as it is. In trying to write a ‘How To Throw a Contest’ column for at the behest of meads, Zigster told me she’d thrown the very first SVM/TB writing contest with Yogagal and sent me links to gather add’l info. I might find useful for the column.

One thing led to another and I went down the list of fics. Saw WAKING SLEEPING GIANTS and read it all over again (I allow everything to distract me from a project, I admit it) and then ‘what’s this? Another entry from Nyah?’ And there it was, the pearl I’d been searching for.

What is it about this story? The sheer cleverness of it wrapped around fluff. See, you DO, on occasion, write fluff.

“… or that my name could sound like a caress in the right person's mouth.”

Oft attempted but none even come close to this.

“I trailed off because he was grinning wolfishly and I felt like my words were colliding with the whiteness of his teeth and falling down stunned.”

It’s sentences like that that make my nose pinch painfully as my eyes get teary. Damn, this is so gorgeous.

his fingers like the cold burn of snow.

Wonderful imagery.

"You want to talk about free love. Love is a verb. Verbs are for doing."

It’s a hell of a come-on line. I’d go for that. It hits me right where I come from.

and my tongue forged ahead, a brave pioneer in a forbidden frontier.

Lewis and Clark pop into my head. I so love the concept.

His talented tongue circled, a shark in the water, growing perilously closer to my lost at sea nipples until ...

THIS actually is THE sentence that was compelling me to find the story again. I just loved the image.

He pressed one long finger inside me. I took it back, he could probably strum a guitar just fine. A second finger. Okay, with the best of them. Maybe the Beatles should hold auditions.

Reminds me now of that eloquent line from I HAVE GONE OUT about Eric’s fingers and the piano. “He had hands made for a grand piano but had decided to learn women instead.” One of those incredible lines of yours that stays with me.

I tried to respond but there were too many vowels coming out of my mouth.

Should I start filling the fruit basket again? You’re overdue.

“Now.” “I think I understand.”

Short on descriptives but it packs a walloping punch.

Boy did it surprise him when I bit first, if his strangled shout was any indication.

Rising to my feet, I start applauding. Utterly terrific.

I'm less repressed than people think.

Somehow I get the impression you’re talking about yourself.

very cute

ngh. I feel as though all I'm capable of right now is unintelligible mumbling, but I'm following your reviewing instruction of 'just do it'

I really, really enjoyed this story far more than I thought I was going to. I'm not yet really brave enough to be open to the AU stories, but seeing as everything I've read of yours has been brain-meltingly amazing, I figured there would be no harm in giving this a shot.

- and I'm so glad I did.

This managed to seem canon. I love your Eric - always, but especially in this story.

Brava. Seriously. You're an amazing author.

I almost wept when there was no real chapter 2, you have to continue this one!

Um...WOW! LOVED it! Um...WOW! Love me some Vampire Eric. That was a little shocking that she guessed he was a vamp. Didn't see that coming. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Excellent work!

You should continue this story it's cool and I wait with baited breath for chapter two (:

What a great chapter and the ending really surprised me!

I loved when Sookie added "and wasteful". How funny that in her current position that she worries about wastefulness.
