Yay! You are back with your stories :)

I was kinda afraid that you will be gone for a long time and i will have to use "german to english" translation online to read your stories...

Welcome back! :)

And many good wishes and hope everything goes well in your life.

I am truly heartbroken at seeing your not continuing with The Road Less traveled
I absolutely love the story and can hardly wait for your next chapter to come out
I never noticed if there were any grammer and spelling errors or such in fact for english not
being your native language you have done incredibly well and better than my fellow native
english folks.
I sorry you were given such a hard time as far as I am concerned if they had grammer issues or
what ever other nit picking things they could have simply not read the story.
I am upset at others rudeness when they discourage someone from writing or are mean if they don't like don't read. Constructive criticism is helpful but if not done right its distructive.
I thought you did a great job and I loved the story I so much wanted to see how the story plot unfolded,
what was going to happen, how it was going to turn out, if a couple of the characters were going
to get together.
I am 46 years old and am sitting here crying bacause I'll never find out.
I wish I could get you to send me emails of your story so I could continue reading it. If you were to put it out for sale I would buy it so I could have a copy to re read and I happen to be picky about books I buy since I only buy what I plan to keep to re read over and over.
Your story TRLT is wonderful I truly hope one day you will consider finishing your stories. You know maybe you could just ignore obnoxious reviews. ? Not sure if thats possible just a thought.
I wish you all the best and thank you for your stories. I really do wish you could finish but I understand what your saying and the feeling behind it please know just because a few were not nice doesn't mean the rest of us agree.
please take care and stay safe
Yours truly
a heartbroken reader

Ok this is my second attempt I didn't do the review thing right the first time.
I am so upset to see you would not be continuing your stories. I am sorry that
your were plagued by nitpickers who could have just not read the story if they didn't like it;
instead those of us who loved your stories are now going to be deprived of the enjoyment of
reading them because of a few rude, insensitive people.
I understand your reasons and so very much hope at some point you will consider
finishing writing them.
You did a wonderful job and if you hadn't stated english was not your native language I would have never
known, infact the thing made me wonder was that you did a better job than those of us who's native language is english.
I just want to sit and weap over losing you and your stories I love TRLT I so much want to see how it all turns out I get so engrossed in the story its amazing.
I would beg if I thought you might change your mind . . . OK I am begging. I do; however, respect your wishes.
Please keep writing you have a genuinely great talent.
I wish you all the best and thank you

I really like this story and I don't care that the grammar is not the best. If you need someone to reread and fix the mistakes you can send me a message on kleool@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to help. I really hope I'm not meddling. But I would do anything if you continued "Thee road less traveled". Thank you very much if you are even reading this. Tchuss

I'm so happy to hear you're going to put your stories back! ^^ And thank you for the birthday wishes! :) I'm eating cake and celebrating the fact that you decided to keep writing in English and post your stories.

It's really impressive how you've learned English as you haven't been thought much of it in school. And one learns more and more of it as one uses it, just by reading and writing and speaking. English isn't my first language either and thus I'm not confident enough to beta anyone's stories. I know that my English is quite good (in fact better than many native speakers just in grammar) but there are idioms and phrases that I'm not familiar with and can't make it into something smooth plus I sometimes write the words incorrectly. But that could be my own perfectionism speaking. XD And I think it's really brave of you to publish your stories in the internet as I could never publish mine! I'm too shy in that sense.

Anyways, I understand how hard it is to take care of an autistic child but I can't even begin to understand how hard it is with a heavily autistic child. One of my nephews is autistic, but it's only mildly. At the moment I'm living with them and even though he's only mildly autistic it's still hard. There are so many things that he needs help with and needs to be reminded of etc. It's perfectly understandable that you don't have a lot of time to write and keep us online readers happy. :)

Well, this is a long "review" but in the end this is all about how happy I'm that you decided to continue anyway and ignore all those jerks.

P.S. I'm planning a trip to Germany for next August and was wondering if you could as a native German tip me with a few places that should be visited but not many turists now of it? XD I'm shamelessly trying to use you to my own gain. :D

YAY!!!! you put them back up! you put them back up! *huggles Suryallee so tight she tackles her to the floor* teehee XD
I'm so soooo glad you reconsidered your decision. I couldn't be happier to know I'll be able to keep enjoying your stories and partacking of your wonderful imagination.
and let me say this: if before I had a great amount of respect for you for being corageous enough to writte and to do so in a language not your own, now that I'm aware of the dificulties you must deal with to do so that respect has no limits. you've prooven yourself a woman of great strenght and I feel deply humbled that after all this mess you were gracious enough to attend our pleas for the continuity of your stories. m(_ _)m

Oh, please don't take down Meersong, and TRLT. I just found your stories and I love them. Yes, you have some problems, but so does every other author on this site, with english as their native language. For, someone who's original langauge is German, you are doing one hell of a job. I thought I was reading a native english speaker's work untill the author's note. Thoes people who keep hounding you about grammer and what not have nothing better to do but sit around and critize authors on grammer. I myself, do not like bad grammer, but I know a good author when I read their work. If, your work can captivate people without perfect grammer, then that is a story. Besides this is fanfiction, if they don't like it they can stop reading.

Please, Please, Please don't take down the stories. I've been reading them since you started posting them and absolutely love them. They have no right to complain about the grammar since they chose to read it. Besides your grammar isn't that bad. If they like the story they shouldn't complain about something so minor.
