While I love all the boys, Nick is my muse, so all my fanfiction is about him. My New Year's Resolution is to NOT be George R R Martin and make all of you wait six years for an update. Here's to finally finishing On Nightingale Hill! On the Rails was voted Best Historical in the 2009 Felix Awards. Thank you so much to whoever nominated & voted for me On Nightingale Hill received Runner Up for Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi in the 2010 Felix Awards. Thanks for your votes, everyone! Both stories were also nominated for Most Creative in the 2012 Felix Awards. |

That was so great! I'm a sucker for romance, and I've been waiting for Cary and Nick to happen forever. ♥ After all the craziness they've been through, it's nice to have a little fluff.
Author's Response: Aww, thanks, Christine! :) I think so, too. I'm kind of picky about romance, but deep down, I'm a sucker for it, too. I didn't know if this story would go the romance route or not; I was waiting to see if the characters had the chemistry for it, but I was always sort of hoping it would turn out this way. Like you said, with all the drama, it's nice to give them some happiness out of it. Thanks for the review!

Also, I just saw your comments on the other reviews, and I can't believe you felt awkward last night after writing this chapter because it's perfect. You pulled it off beautifully!
Author's Response: Aww, well, thank you!! I just question myself sometimes; that's why I always give myself a break from the computer before I come back and proofread, so I can look at it with fresh eyes. I like it today; I just wasn't sure about it at first. I'm glad you think it came out well... thanks again!! :)

The bit about praying mantis sex with Paris was hilarious, albeit a little traumitizing to imagine. :D
The many details in this chapter are part of what I love about CC. It's so well- researched and grounded in reality that the larger-than-life storyline is perfectly believable. When I'm reading, I never have to worry about those little moments of "Wait, that's not right" that shock the reader out of the story. ♥
Author's Response: LOL thanks! I do think she looks kind of like a giant praying mantis. Freaky! Thanks so much for the compliment on my details and research; I really try to fact-check and get things right. I'm sure there are still mistakes, but for the most part, I hope people aren't going "Wait, that's not right" as they read. Like you said, it brings the reader right out of the story, and with everything you can find easily online nowadays, it doesn't have to be that way. I'm glad you're enjoying the story - thanks for the review! :)
Date: 07/12/11 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Eeeek, I had a few chapters to catch up on, and then I get to this little bombshell that you've dropped! Of course, it figures I would get all caught up right when the chapter ends with a cliffhanger like that, haha. I can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: LOL Sorry! The next chapter will pick up with the Nick/Lauren conversation from his POV, so you'll get his side of the story, and it will hopefully be easy for me to start and finish quickly. Thanks for the review; glad you're all caught up! :)
Date: 07/30/11 Title: Chapter 75: Chapter 75
Yay! A fluffy chapter~ I think I would just die if a guy ever took me on a date like that. *sigh*
Author's Response: Wow, you're quick too! LOL I know; I was kind of all giddy inside just imagining it and writing it; I think I would die if some guy actually did that for me too. Glad you liked the fluff, and good to know you're still reading and enjoying. Thanks for the review!! :)
Date: 09/25/11 Title: Chapter 85: Chapter 85
I think I went through half a box of tissues reading this chapter!
Author's Response: Awwww... sorry I made you cry, but I always take that as a compliment, too, so thank you!
Date: 10/16/11 Title: Chapter 90: Chapter 90
Okay, so I feel dumb because I saw last night right before I went to bed that CC had been updated, but I didn't realize the update was three chapters long. So I sleepily read chapter 88 and went to bed really confused, thinking "Wow, that's a weird place to end the story."
I'm glad that I woke up this morning and decided to read it again! The ending was beautiful. Chapter 89 was so sad and perfect. I'm glad that Nick could feel them all there with him in prayer in his last dying moment, and I'm glad that Cary finally got her happy ending, even though it wasn't the one that I would have wanted for her.
One question, though--whatever happened to Cary's dad?! We don't hear what happened to him ten years later :P
Anyway, amazing story, amazing journey, amazing ending. Thank you, Julie! I can't wait to hopefully gush to you about how much I love CC in person on the cruise?
Author's Response: Aww, sorry! I tried to post the three chapters as quickly as I could so that wouldn't happen, but you must have gone to bed right before I got 89 and 90 up. I wanted to post them all in one update because I didn't want to kill Nick and then make you wait a week for more LOL. I'm glad you came back and found the rest this morning! Glad you liked the ending, too. Thanks so much! I assume Cary's dad is alive and well and still living in IL, too far away to be there in the last chapter. I guess I could have mentioned him, but it never came up. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your kind words! You'll probably embarrass me by gushing about CC in person, but I guess I could do the same for you with On Nightingale Hill (and beg you for more updates!), so yes, definitely! We'll have to get Julilly's cruise meet up thread updated and make a plan!
Brian cons Nick and AJ into competing in a valintines themed competition to win a date.

How funny! I'm trying to picture Brian using an online dating service, and I can actually see it but the thought just makes me laugh so much xD I'm wondering--if there actually was a woman in red at the diner, then was Nick just screwing with Brian? o.O
Author's Response: You're the only one to ask about the woman in red....I think Nick just didn't approve of Brian's blind dating and wanted to rescue him before it ended badly...or maybe he just was really screwing with Brian LOL I guess we will never know the answer :P Thanks for the review!
