 Ennee Gray 2009-06-09 . chapter 14Well, your story doesn't quite give off the feeling of historical even though I didn't see any screaming errors (aside from the fact that the girl is a thief, but that's the plot so I suppose it doesn't really count).
Speaking of errors your 10th chapter is a repeat and you should really reread your story, because at some places grammar is rather confusing - mostly it's misplaced letters.
Otherwise - it was really sweet and nice and fluffy and I hope you don't take offence on that, because I mean it in the best way possible. Yours was the first story in a while that I found worth the time it took reading it after going through first few chapters.
Your story is light and humorous and romantic - not so adventurous and you managed to evolve the characters and stay true to them as the story moved on rather than degrade them (i've seen that happen far too often).
This was exactly what I had been looking for when I decided to give this site another chance and surf for a nice story to read at night until you want to go to sleep, but are unable to tear off the screen before the last chapter is finished.
Thank you for writing a beautiful and up-beat story and for restoring my faith in this site.
On a side note - Eliza's friends are very interesting, maybe you would consider a series describing each of the Four? |
 Daph J. 2009-05-29 . chapter 14So. Much. Love! Don't understand why this isn't more appreciated. Are sequels still an option? Because I say YES! |
 Tess 2008-08-26 . chapter 14 Bloody amazing! I loved Dare! and Eliza reminded me of myself... except the theif part... they are so cute together! You should def write a sequel! |
 Queen Jay 2008-08-08 . chapter 14Ahem. Hm. Okay. Close your ears, I am about to scream like a fangirl.
AH!
THAT WAS BRILLIANT.
Reasons why I am in love with your epicsome story:
1. It's FUNNY. LOL funny. Which I was doing, practically nonstop.
2. Eliza is just HARDCORE. I am going to be her when I grow up.
0. Dare is delicious. Nough said. Because I can't talk through the drool.
4. The dialogue... Oh, the dialogue... I could go on forever about the witty banter. It's so hard to find wit these days, and then here is a veritable overdose: every word is Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen perfect.
5. The Four... and the Boys... I second the motion where you must write sequels for the Four. Consider this a death threat if you don't. I killed a man once. With a pineapple. Eliza's diary was plotty because of the thief stuff, but the stories of the others would still be beautiful. Anything you wrote would be beautiful.
7. This was a nano. My own nano was hurt by deadlines (not nano related) and had to be completed in a rush, under the 50k, so (understanding the effort) I start off with SO much respect for every nano I read. This went from starting off with respect to making me a screaming fangirl, so that's saying something...
10. There is something else that gives me the shivers... but I don't know if I should tell you or not... *dances nervously*

 Brizlack 2008-06-27 . chapter 14That.
Was.
AWESOME! *grin breaks face in half*
Brilliance, sheer brilliance! I am in awe, in love with this story. You are a true genius. Even with its serious side, it was hilarious, and I love good humor. Add that with a bit of action and all set in the 1800s-- you've got me smitten. 8D
Much love! |
 beccabrighteyes 2008-06-27 . chapter 14This is great. I think you ought to do stories for the rest of the Four. I mean they wouldn't be quite the same seeing as they aren't thieves, but the London Season can be plenty interesting. I'd love to see their stories. Especially if Katie ended up with Ben. |
 wilko4523 2008-05-09 . chapter 14wow this was really gd!

 the kitten 2008-03-22 . chapter 14I shall never look at a ''dull spoon'' the same way I used to, be sure of that :)
loved it. all of it. any sequels?
kitty |
 MertleYuts 2008-02-24 . chapter 14Sequel! Sequel! Sequel! You are planning one right? RIGHT? You can't simply just leave it there! I mean, it's a sweet ending and all but... it's all so... unfinished! Besides, I can only imagine the four's reaction to finding out about Eliza and Dare! You must write a sequel, got it? |
 MertleYuts 2008-02-20 . chapter 10Chapter 8 was wonderful of course! But I think you might have made a mistake, chapter 9 is the same as 8 and I feel like I missed something in chapter 10...
You have no idea how happy it made me to find all of the alerts for your chapters in my inbox! |
 Riley Hunter 2008-02-19 . chapter 14That was...short. well, excellent job. :) maybe come out with a sequel?! |
 Riley Hunter 2008-02-19 . chapter 8YAY. a new chappie. good job! |
 MertleYuts 2008-01-17 . chapter 7Yet Again a fantastic chapter that I just wish would go on forever! Will she really tell him? Oh the suspense! I love how you are doing so well portraying her thoughts, they are so real, her paranoia, her difficulty keeping her true identity, they are just such natural feelings, all so... real! I love it. But again I make my demand, UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!
You know another nano author! Who? I must review! |
 Riley Hunter 2008-01-16 . chapter 7hey. good chappie. although, i thought that i may point out that if you are going to put in an author's note, please put it in bold and with A/N: in front of it. that would make it a ton clearer. plus, could you tell me what nanowrimo is? that would be much appreciated. |
 MertleYuts 2008-01-16 . chapter 6Oh! I liked it! You do such a good job in diary form, I have always considered it one of the most difficult forms of writing a story but I love reading yours! Everything it so witty and funny and the characters are so real, you do a fantastic job of describing your friends. I would review every chapter if I had the patience, but know that I love their little court, their closeness, the sarcastic remarks EVERYTHING! Have I done enough expounding on the awesomeness of your story that I could not stop reading? No Not quite yet I guess- You do a wonderful job of setting the story in an older period but keeping the conversations modern, I can't really describe it but it is a great mix. Not to mention you have so much more interesting dialog than most authors on this site, a lot of published authors even. I am reminded of Pride and Prejudce, but with an awesome thief twist!
I also am INCREDIBLY pleased to see someone else posting their NaNoWriMo! Mine's on fanfic as this is a very new account, but cheers for NaNoWriMo! I was beginning to wonder were all of them were hiding! You say you finished? Then where is the rest of it! UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! You simply cannot leave me hanging like this! |
