Dana: This story, which I just found is great. If possible, could you add me to the PM list? Cause I'm really enjoying this fic.

Dana, I just found this story, and I'm loving it! Your characterizations are dead on. Kyp is still loveable dispite (or perhaps because of) his dark affiliations. Jaina is as kickass and warrior princess as always, even when she's trapped in Kyp's web. And you've done a good job with Anakin too, making him the more level headed one, which is a great foil for Jaina. ;D

I love the interations between Kyp and Jaina. I was thrown at first. I hadn't decided if I really liked their powerplays, but the more I read, the more hooked I become. You have done a excellent job with them, and their banter is priceless. applause

The storyline is also very well developed, with plenty of exciting twists. Your AU is great. I love the elements you've taken from the books, answering some very good 'what ifs?'. I really like where this is headed, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Reiniger/Jacen is intruiging. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen there and seeing more of his encounters with Jaina.

Excellent work, Dana! I'll definitely keep reading. If you could add me to your list of update PMs that would be great! cool

Hey, everyone! Wow, I got a barrage of replies to this today! I'd reply individually, but I'm afraid I'm just not up to it at the moment. However, I've read all your responses and I think you, especially those of you who've hung on for so long, lol.

There is an update in the works. I just, as you know, have about a billion things going on at once. And it didn't help that I spent last week following Kevin Anderson around, fetching him water and stuff, because I was terrified to write on this (or any of my other K/J 'fics) when he was anywhere near, because I didn't want something like the following exchange:

Kevin: Whatcha writing?

Me: Um. A story where Kyp never turned back from the Dark Side and he's killed Luke and now he's trying to seduce and corrupt Jaina.

Kevin: . . . *starts backing away*

So, yeah. I'll try to update really soon. I know I said that before, but I really mean it! I swear!


Dana

Eeep. Sooooo sorry! Like I said in the "Perfect Strangers" thread, I haven't abandoned this, I'm definitely planning on updating soon. I just have an itty-btty . . . '67 Chevy Impala-sized bunny to deal with.

Update soon. Meaning within a month or two. Hopefully sooner. *winces and scurries out*
