YOU UPDATED OMG

AFTER SO MANY YEARS

Do you know how many times I've read and reread your fic whenever I felt down I'm SO HAPPY you're back, you have no idea. I'll be following and commenting on your ao3 version of this too, just a heads up. I'll throw a comment for every chapter.

THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO THIS FIC
IT'S MY FAVE

OMFG, I can't believe you actually updated!
I honestly thought I'd never see another chapter in this lifetime. I'm so so so happy!
Sorry it took so long to comment, but ffnet suddenly stopped sending alerts through email for some reason. It's a shame, I bet a lot of people that wanted to see this finished as much as I do might not see this update.

Excellent fic! Looking forward to reading more on A03!

I discovered this three days ago and it is so amazing!

oh my goodness. i never expected to see an update for this story, so what an unexpected and very welcome surprise! I will see if i can find you on ao3 to read the rest, this fic is still so, so good. one of the very few howls moving castle fics that is worth reading.

thank you for updating!

Love how you write Howell's thoughts. And I found your story at ao3 so look forward to looking at it there!

an update! hurrray!

Oh moving to ao3? I will be looking out to see if I can find the story there

I really love to read this story! Sophie and Howl are fun characters, full of unexplored avenues of characterization. You captured Howl's point of view perfectly, his voice is spot on! The story is great written and means a lot to me. I don't know when I first read it, it must have been ten years ago. And every year I come back here to read it again. You have captured Diane Wynne Jones voice so perfectly, thank you so much for this beautiful story!

I am writing this comment so you know there is another person here in 2022 reading your story and very much hoping for a sequel someday! I hope you are well and I wish you all the best whatever you do. Many greetings from Germany!

As a latecomer to the Howl’s moving castle party, (discovered the movie early 2021 and then read the books not much later) I have only just dipped into the fan fictions. I love this story very much, and will read it over again, until you are able to finish it. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

I’ve come back to read this quite a couple of times despite the fact that it was unfinished. I almost never pick up unfinished work…but this meant that much to me. Then I found your bio update today, and…I just had to dredge through my poor memory for my ID. It’s literally been years since my last login. But I thought it might be better if I left something behind to let you know someone is still reading this in 2022.
I’ve waited ten years, I think I can wait ten more. Thanks for not forgetting about this, and thank you for staying well after all this time. Wish you luck for whatever you’re doing. Hope to see you again soon.

I hope you're well and healthy.

I really hope you would finish this story. I'm in love with this.

Despite going into reading this knowing it wasn’t finished, I’m still left yearning to know Howl’s perspective of the climax and resolution of the story—especially the scene where he gets his heart back. But all in all, this was such a flawlessly written piece and I adore the authors interpretation of Howl’s inner dialogue, feelings, and viewpoint. I especially loved reading more of his dynamic with Michael and Calcifer, I think it developed his character a lot more than what we saw in DWJ’s original. I don’t expect this to ever be finished, but if miraculously the author remembers to return to FF to conclude the story, there are many many fans who would be delighted to continue reading it. I sincerely hope the author is perusing writing as a career because work like this could easily be published and successful!

Howl seems a bit evil in his encounter with Lettie here, which makes me a bit sad, however it is not altogether unbelievable. I think you quite accurately captured his selfishness and desperation that revealed themselves somewhat violently once he realized how much he truly loved Sophie and would do anything to have her
