I don't know if my world will be the same when you tell me it's the fictional end. What I do know is I enjoy your writing style, it provokes me to think about things much more than I ever have before - things about me, my past and specifically my past relationships. The situation that they are in related in no way to my life, but I lived a bit like Bella did pre-Edward at times. Not for lack of love from those around me, but by not loving myself. I think that's the most wonderful thing about being the avid reader ... self discovery while lost in a fictional world. Thank you for being the wordmaster in my RL world.

I must say though, that I'm very happy you gave AA5 the ending that you did, I would have been really heartbroken to read about Edward and Bella not ending up together. I can't wait to read more of what you write in the future! Wow, congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished in the past year!

You take the time to build them up and gift your readers with little nuances throughout the story to reveal more and more about them. It's so much fun getting to know them all and fall so in love with them. What an accomplishment for you to look back in this one year and see everything you have done. You had the courage to do it while others just think about. Happy one year anniversary, Colleen! PS: I want to know, what was playing on your iPod!

I cherish your character Edward; he is a poignant young man with a vulnerability that is almost tangible. His love for Bella actually changed her life and his.

AA5 was awesome and then you started Counterpoint, and with reading that I grew more and more fond of Kate. I really liked Kate and in some ways I think she and Edward should have ended up together, well but then ....... I just really respected Kate for Kate. Then I read "Goodnight Sweet Prince".... I have no words to truly convey how much I enjoy your writng, then to follow suit with "MY life to Be" ...lets just say If a fic has been graced as Sleepyvalentina as the author I'm reading it and I am sure to be more impressed than I was with your previous fic. Counterpoint not only helps to round out AA5, but brings so much more meaning to the whole story...and when it ends I am sure to be sad to see it end. Thank you for sharing your talent and your writng with me (and everyone else to). I don't have the talent of being able to express my feelings and thoughts in writng but I hope that I have been able to convey at least somewhat how much your novels, novella and short stories mean to me. Congradulations to a great year and may good fortune and quiet surroundings (to aid in your writing) bless you always!!!!

Those are a lot of words, and seeing how much work and care you put into these words...huge accomplishment for you, generous gift for readers. I had just stumbled on fan fiction and yours was one of the early stories I stumbled across. I found fan fiction at a time when...let's just say it helped keep me sane and got me through a rough period. AA5 will always hold a special spot in my heart because of it. I never doubted your Bella could turn things around. :) Hope you're celebrating! Huge, huge congratulations!

I love your characters and have never grown tired of reading your stories many times over. It's been an illuminating ride for me as well as I gained insight into different parts of myself when I look back to my undergrad years till now when my eldest is going to college in the fall. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Now, I have to go to your museum and see those art pieces for myself....

You have created such a rich, complex universe with these characters. Watching them change and grow has been a great journey, and the best part is that will still be continuing with Some Little Girls and Carlisle and Esme's story.
