Hurrah, an update! :)
That last chapter had me in tears! The emotions between Quinn and Annabelle were just so honest and heartfelt and REAL. I can semi-sort-of guess what'll happen next, but of course, I still want to see how you'll go about things. You write your characters and stories so realistically, which is why I love reading and re-reading your stories (I've actually been in a bit of a rut lately, and so yesterday, I spent half of the day re-reading my favorite chapters from your fics :D Hehe! What can I say, you're an awesome writer, and there's nothing like a feel-good happy ending to cheer people up.)
Great job, as always! Hope you keep up the great work! :) Oh, and I do hope you'll continue "Noticed" someday :)

This is a really great story. Excellent setting, choice of characters, plot, and flow of the scenes. I was really touched and i even cried. You are a very good writer. I would love it if you finished it as soon as possible. Please and thank you.

I usually don't beg an author to finish a story but you are an exception. I think I read somewhere that you only have one chapter to go so please finish it for my sanity. By the way I hope you are doing well. Miss your stories like crazy. I hope that it isn't anything major for these huge gap between updates other than what you've already told us so I hope you are just busy. Did you know that you are the first author I read on adultfanfiction and I'm still looking forward to your updates and next story until the day you retire. Yep, believe it. So please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please update.

This story is so addictive. I just read chapters one through twenty, pretty much in one sitting, and I'm excited to read more!
I immediately adored Annabelle's character; she's so easy to identify with. You've given so many layers to all of the characters and their relationships, and developed them all so well. The writing is just awesome, too. It flows so smoothly, has a wonderful pace, and is full of great descriptions and dialogue.
Generally angsty issues aren't my cuppa tea, but you've handled them in a way that makes me interested without feeling overloaded... the drama in this story doesn't feel dark or depressing. I suppose it's because the story isn't weighed down by the emotional issues of the characters. Annabelle's positive outlook on life (the Ghandi quotes are a nice touch) really makes everything feel balanced.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this story, and finding out how Annabelle and Quinn's relationship will be affected from now on. Until then, I think I may read some of your completed stories~ ;D Thanks for sharing your creations!

Oh my goodness, MORE updates?!
The interaction between Christy and Annabelle was wonderful to see in this chapter. It was already great seeing Christy turn the corner and regain some of her old self, but this chapter showed that she's come full circle. Annabelle realizing that Christy is back to the girl that is like a sister to her is like the perfect ending to a wonderful story.
Except... The end of this story doesn't look like it will be perfect. It won't be perfect in the sense that Annabelle and Quinn will go on living happily ever after together. That ending is something we'd all like to see, but the plot seems to be inexorably heading in the opposite direction. To see Annabelle and Quinn have to go their separate ways will be gut-wrenching. It will tug at the heart. It will reek of sadness.
And yet, that's what makes your stories so great. They aren't perfect. They aren't predictable. They aren't 10-layer cakes that magically have 0 calories. What your stories are... is real. Maybe the characters aren't real (how could anyone be as amazing as Annabelle?) and maybe the events that occur in your stories are ones that most of us will never experience. But it's still real. Things don't happen the way we want them to all the time. There isn't always a happy ending.
Tirch, I'm glad to hear that 'Noticed' is at least in the pipeline for being continued. I'm also glad my reviews make you so happy. Keep up the fantastic work!

I just found this story and I had to let you know how much I've enjoyed it.
I love Quinn's character, and I'm curious to see what happens now that Julia's arrived.

I am fervently hoping for a happy ending with this story. I am a sucker for happy endings though haha. Chapter 20 was such a great chapter, Tirch, I've noticed such a big difference in your writing (epspecially since I've been re-reading some of your older stories - aww, Flame and Leah!) and I'm strangely proud of how your writing has matured and become more fluid. You really are a fantastic writer. You rock! :D
And the new story sounds awesome. Have you been thinking about that plot for a while now? I may be totally wrong, but I think you may have mentioned it in an email a while back. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to a brand spanking new Tirch story!

You're back! I had to do a double take on how many chapters I have to catch up with.
Chapter 18, may I admit how much I HATE The Wiz with a passion. I have tears in my eyes when Josh came to rescue Christy and how she thank God. Maybe it was just too real for me. Quinn is the sweetest and Josh is awesome as well. I think a situation like this will only make their friendship stronger. Thanks for the update.

Chapter 19, good job on the conversation between Christy and Quinn. I can already see the influence Annabelle has on Quinn and he even sounds like her with advices too. No one should blame themselves but The Wiz. I do wonder how Julia would react to what has happen to Annabelle and I hope Annabelle decide to stay with Quinn. Thanks for updating.
