I love how caught off guard he is in this chapter... From the minute she takes control to her leaving his house. Great start! :) Looking forward to more...

SUCH a great chapter! I love that Nick and Quinn are slowly but surely starting to fall for each other, and that Quinn is kind of in denial of that fact...lol, it's perfect:) And I love how Nick has an uncanny way of paying attention to detail with her...you write beautifully, and I'm definitely hooked!

Thank you so much....I have such a soft spot for the earlier chapters in this story. It was so fun to write two people falling in love in a nonconventional relationship. I appreciate your reviews so sorry I'm just now responsding! I don't log on to AC much anymore...can't wait to hear what you thought of the whole thing!

Okay, I'm just now discovering this story, and I am in love with it so far!! Chapter Two was HOT, and the chemistry between Nick and Quinn is already ridiculous...can't wait for more! You're inspiring me to come out of my writer's block and write more in my story!! LOL.
Author's Response:
YAY! So glad that I helped get you out of writers block! I will have to check into your story!

I loved this! Nick and Quinn are probably the best fanfic couple I've read about. I write fanfics on my own as well and I had started a story like this a few months ago, before I found yours. I got stuck because I couldn't figure out how a casual relationship could turn into a serious one, and I think you did an amazing job at that. Thanks for writing this, it's been really inspirational reading it. So, now, I'm gonna go delete my version of it and start fresh! heheh.. Keep up the good work, hun!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much...what a great compliment. Good luck with your story! I hope to post something new too...I have something started but I'd like to get ahead of myself a bit more before posting it so I can update regularly!

I just read this all over again :) I don't know why but the mood struck me! Hopefully it inspires me to write.
Author's Response: Aww...we should both get inspired and work on our collab!

I like that even though they're not married, they're together and happy. They deserved that. :) Good way to wrap it up.
Author's Response: Thanks for your honest feedback...glad it wasn't too painful!

About time she says it! Only took her 48 chapters to tell Nick LOL.

I like that you delved into Nick, having him reveal his issues. One thing I wish though, was rather than have the narrator sum up what he said - I wish it had been said in his dialogue. It would've been more emotional, I think.

And now I wanna beat Nick. He finally gets what he's been wanting and then he pulls a Quinn.

About time she really opened herself up! Nicely done.

I like that she just up and went after him. FINALLY she takes a huge risk to get what she wants. That's all I wanted from her, for her to really take the plunge and chase instead of Nick LOL. I like that she's asking to do the talking. Nick's been doing most of the relationship work here, so it's good to see Quinn taking charge. For her to want it to be something real.

While the story flows well and most of the time isn't too over the top, sometimes I find myself turned off. And I realized in this chapter why that was. I feel like at times your characters (generally speaking) come off too harsh. Brian comes off as a cynical asshole, Quinn is unrelatable and manipulative, Nick goes into the end of too sentimental, etc. You're a great writer, my biggest criticism (if one could call it that, this could also just be my own tastes coming into play again) is that your characters can come off as extreme in this. I'm really picky about characterization lol. And thinking about it, a lot of my comments go back to that.

It's about time Quinn's realizing it, admitting it, even if only in her column. (Though she still can't tell Nick, which makes me go back to wanting to throttle her).
Date: 08/30/11 10:51 pm Title: Chapter 38: Gone
Okay, Quinn is killing me here lol. It's like you have to take a risk at some point. I don't get how she can expect Nick to keep loving her if she can't even attempt to go for it. She dances around the word, she refuses to talk about it, it's just frustrating LOL.
Date: 08/30/11 10:45 pm Title: Chapter 36: Underneath It All
One thing that drives me crazy about Quinn is that she's so incredibly defensive about her feelings. Courtney asks her about the obvious (and even Quinn's acknowledged to herself things are serious) and she immediately dismisses it as if it's nothing. I get that she's afraid of getting hurt but sometimes she's over the top about it.
Another thing, is Brian, he just bugs me in this story. He doesn't come off as a supportive friend, or even a concerned one. He comes off cynical and wanting nothing more than to be proven right. But I'm a huge Frick/Frack girl, so I would've put Brian in AJ's spot in this story lol.
