OMG!!!

So I know I still have part 2 to read but I just have to get this out.

First of all after reading UTTK and thinking it was one of the best stories I've ever read I decided to check out this famous story that everyone always raves about. So I've been reading it slowly over the past few weeks and I love it. Love it, love it, love it. but it wasn't until this chapter that I realised how wonderful this story really is!

I don't know what happened but when she was like "I started working at the Met five years ago" my eyes started watering and then when she said it had been ten years I started bawling. The thought of them being apart for ten years broke my heart! I'm still crying! haha. Ten years!! Golly gosh!

I think this chapter will be my favourite chapter ever! (until you outdo it at the end of UTTK, which I just know you will! haha) It was just so well written and gah! the way you wrote Justin was just so awesome - The way he was all grown up and mature exactly the way the real Justin is now but you could still see the 17yr old Justin in him! GAH! It was just perfect.

The hot chocolate had me bawling as well haha and I absolutely loved the way it could all so easily be a true story haha! like how you fit their summer in just before Justin and Britney went out and how you made Gone be about her which is just PERFECT!! lol

Ok so this review is turning into a novel and I really need to read the next bit!I just needed to get all this out! Haha



Author's Response: GUH YAY!!! Seriously ALWL is my baby. Like going back through and comparing it to UTTK the writing is a bit shotty but it also shows my growth which is something that is so important to see you know. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and the fact that it moved you to tears seriously kind of made my day. Thank you so much for reading and reveiwing!!!

GAH! BEST.ENDING.EVER!!!!! Seriously! It was so so so wonderful! I knew I was going to do this but I've changed my mind. That last chapter AND this chapter are my favourite chapters ever. Hehe!

Thank you so much for writing this! You're truly an amazing writer, I hope you know that!

I can't wait to read the extra short stories! I'd cry if that was the final final end of Skystin! hahaha



Author's Response: Oh my gosh I can't believe it took me this long to reply to this review!!! It must have got lost in the shuffle of emails or something I'm so sorry!!! But YAY I'm glad you liked the ending and thank you so much. I'm glad you not only like the story but the writing as well. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

(Un)Tying the Knot by SomethingBlue42 (NC-17) starstarstarstarstar [Comments - 847]

Set in New York City, Justin Timberlake and Amelia Domineck are the hottest couple in the Manhattan social scene, and their wedding is fast approaching Event of the Year status. Amelia, headstrong and domineering, is not just planning her wedding, she’s choreographing it and Justin seems to simply be along for the ride, as well as Amelia’s assistant Charlotte who after accepting the job wonders if slavery somehow became legal without her realizing it. A Lolita wedding planner, a flakey assistant, and one bridezilla converge together to bring Charlotte and Justin closer and Justin begins to wonder… is this really all that’s left for him? A ring and a promise of forever with Amelia, or does he dare to dream of something more?

Oh my golly gosh, I don't even know what to say! I started reading this story two days ago and I haven't been able to stop. It's so freaking amazing!

I love it so much! I can't believe I've only just stumbled across it. I've been missing out! haha Ok I'll stop gushing now but I just thought you should know that what you're writing is AMAZING!!

Oh and this last chapter was a bombshell! Holy crow! This changes everything!



Author's Response: Wow thank you! I'm glad you like the writing! Thanks for taking the time to go back through and reading and thanks for dropping me a review!!!

AAHH! So brilliant!

I got an email this morning saying it had been updated but I had to go to uni. So I spent all day waiting to get home! It was absolute torture! Haha

Charlotte is so incredibly cool. I loved that "You keep running" line. and he didn't even get it! Stupid man! (I still love him though, he'll come around! I know he will!) 

I'm so excited to see how things pan out from here! Thank you for updating!  

P.S. I'm so jealous that you're going to France!



Author's Response: GUH I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!! Like when you check your email and you can't get to it till later arg. The "you keep running" line was my fave from the chapter *bounce* glad you liked it too! Thanks for the well wishes and thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

OMG omg omg!! Yay!!

I didn't expect an update so soon! and I definitely didn't expect THIS update! haha!

I'm so happy! FINALLY woooooo! I absolutely loved it!

Don't think I didn't catch that bit about Amelia having a "business dinner"! That certainly sounds suss to me!

Thank you so much! I can not wait for more!



Author's Response: Yeah I didn’t realize how quick this update was until I was changing the date on the thread in the FF forum on JJB lol I think I was just eager to get to THIS update *giggle* I’m glad you loved it!!! And who knows about Amelia’s business dinner…that woman I swear *shakes head* Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

GAH! First of all I truly despise that person for hacking this site right after you updated! It was pure torture to have to wait! haha

Second, OMG!!! I swear this chapter was beyond amazing. I don't think you understand how fantastic it is! The way you wrote their reactions was just perfect and so well written!

Lastly, despite the fact that I loved it so much and I wouldn't have had Justin react any other way than how he did, I still hate him! lol. How he sucked up to Amelia, the shaving of his hair made me feel sick! haha. and I especially hated this line “We should fly commercial,” Gah! He's so dumb, so dumb, so dumb! Poor Charlotte. I know he's probably just terrified about what might happen if they are alone together but he doesn't have to make her feel like absolute shit! (BTW I loved how you used Southwest, I instantly looked up the photo and imagined Charlotte trailing behind him hehe)

But as always, despite all this, I still love him! hahaha Thank you for updating! I'm so excited about this week long LA trip!!

 

Author's Response:

YEAH WTF??? Why does the archive always go screwy right after I update -_- But I'm glad that Vikki got it back up pretty quick!!! I'm SO GLAD you liked the chapter. I worked so hard on it so its great that people are liking it and responding well to it. Don't worry I hate Justin too that bastard *smacks him* *pets Charlie*

OMG when that picture of him boarding the commercial flight came out it was like a godsend! I had always planned on him and Charlie flying commercial but I was always kind of hesitant about it like "would Justin REALLY fly commercial?" and lo and behold theres our boy flyin first class lol I'm glad you liked the section! thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Dang! The internet ate up my long and detailed review!!

I haven't got time to rewrite it :( but the key points were:

a) That I hate you for stopping where you did because I neeeeeeeeed to know how they are going to react this time! I feel like Justin is going to act even crazier than last time but I'm reeeeeeeeally hoping that he doesn't! haha

and b) that I don't really hate you at all because I loved this chapter so so much!

aand lastly c) I'm becoming increasingly scared of Amelia and all the ways she could possibly react if/when she finds out about all this! eeeeeek!

I know you're probably wondering what my original review was like if this is only a summary of it but really it was exactly the same but with more emotion like this: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DID WHAT!!! OMG!!!!!! THIS IS BAD! BUT SO SO GREAT AT THE SAME TIME... something like that. hahaha!



Author's Response: NO! Why does the internet always eat things? Seriously its kinda ridiculous lol. But thank you for taking the time to type another review to send!!! I've come to realize that with this story I've been doing cliff-hanger-esque type endings of chapters lol It was not intentional I promise! But I'm glad you liked the chapter!!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Reviewer: Ram4 Signed
Date: Jul 08, 2009 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 24

I HATE Justin!! ARGH! What is he doing?? He really is acting like a selfish prick at the moment!

and poor Charlotte! Here he is telling her they should keep doing what they're doing and then he turns around and is all like "Oh I love Amelia so much!" Stupid man! He needs to figure everything out very SOON or else Charlotte's going to end up getting hurt by the way he's messing her around!

Despite my anger towards Justin, I absolutely loved the way you wrote him in this chapter. I don't really know how to explain it without rambling for 10 more paragraphs. I just loved the way he reacted to everything that has been happening (From a writing/plot point of view I mean. Even though I hate him right now, it wouldn't be a good story if he just up and left Amelia straight away! haha).

Anyway, I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to read more! Thank you for updating!!



Author's Response: Justin is a boy and boys are indeed stupid lol. I'm SO GLAD you appreciate the way Justin's being characterized! These last few chapters (and the upcoming ones for that matter) have been pretty complicated as far as getting his thoughts and emotions right and I'm really relieved it's coming across well! I'm glad you loved it and hopefully more will be coming sooner rather than later! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

OMG! He was so close! All he needed to say was "Fuck this shit I'm outta here!" and then storm out of the car, jump into the next taxi he sees, arrive on Charlie's doorstep and never look back!

Hahaha despite how lovely this sounds, I doubt it would give me the closure I need. I feel like this story is leading up to some sort of gigantic moment where everything is going to come together and the entire plot is going to implode. Am I right?? No, don't answer that.... hahaha. I think it's all the tension, there's so much tension in this story I practically have to stand up when I read it because I can't keep still!

Also, I hate this crap they are saying about Charlotte! Justin better not believe it for a second!!!

Ok ok so that is all for now. As usual I thought it was an amazingly perfect update!! Thank you so much! 



Author's Response: TENSION YES!!! This is what I want lol They're just so indecisive and that's one of the more fun parts to write, the back and forth in their heads and their struggle over what is "right" and what they want. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I only just realised that I didn't leave a review for this last chapter!!

I'm so excited!! I just know something big is going to happen soon! but I'm also scared because I have no idea what it is that is going to happen but at the same time that just adds to the excitement! Oh the joy of reading fiction! haha.

I really hope Charlotte gets everything sorted out because I hate seeing her life turn shitty because of stupid Amelia!!!!

Anyway, I loved the chapter and I can't wait for the next one!



Author's Response: Yeah there's a pretty huge build in this story. I never really realized it until a few chapters ago but its all leading to something pretty big and now I'm all nervous about it hahaha. I'm glad you're liking it so far and I'm hacking away at this next chapter I promise! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

OMG!!! The frustration I'm feeling right now is killing me!

 

I love what MochaB said! She said it so well too! Except for not wanting Justin and Charlie to end up together anymore. I see a lot of people have been saying this! Noooooooooooo! I refuse to let it end that way. Imagine if he ended up marrying Amelia! ARGH! Hahaha.

 

I don’t want to feel bad for Amelia either! I’m happy that we finally get to see a bit of why she is the way she is, it makes her seem a lot more human! And it’s really sad about her mum and I want to feel bad for her but but but I just can’t stand her. She’s a selfish witch and he’s so dumb!!!

 

And then there’s Charlie. I can’t help feeling bad for her! I think out of all the characters I can really relate to her the most. Just the whole, being in a situation that you know is bad and you should really get out of it and half of you wants to get out of it but the other half doesn’t. Another part to that whole idea is that getting out of the situation takes a lot more effort then staying in it. Like its sort of comfortable and easy for her to stay in that job and stay with Justin whereas the other route would involve making big decisions and actually doing something about her life and a whole lot of heartbreak as well!  Hahaha am I reading too far into this?

 

I seriously love how I have no idea what is going to happen! It’s so exciting! But it’s also scary! Hahaha

 

I love it. I love it. I love it. Thanks so much for updating!

Author's Response: I love what you had to say about Charlie! I've always thought of Charlotte as a very independent person and that this things with Justin is a major detour from everything she's ever done before with anyone. Like usually she wouldn't put up with this kinda shit from a gut but like you said its so much easier to stay put then to try and get out. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Gosh! I don't even know what to say anymore! I loved it so much!

I think doing short little stories like this is such a great idea! I've never been a huge fan of sequels, especially when the first story is already full of so much drama but at the same time I'm always sad to see a story end and often wish I could know more about the characters' futures. and just writing short snippets here and there solves everything!! Genius! haha!



Author's Response: EXACTLY! I always kinda hated sequels to stories for the exact same reason. I like the idea of little shorts because 1) its nice to be able to revisit the characters and 2) usually all I get in my head are these little snippets of them and its not really enough to thread together an entire story butIhavetowriteitbecauseIlovethemomg lol Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Tricks and Treats by SomethingBlue42 (NC-17) [Comments - 22]

After the new head of publicity for the Metropolitan Museum of Art decides to turn a black tie event into a costume party for Halloween in order to draw in "the younger crowd" Skylar McKibbon's is slightly peeved. She's down right pissed when she finds out he called Justin to get him to show up at the event for publicity.

Hahaha! All those teacher/student jokes killed me! It's great that they can laugh at it now! :D

I think I said this in another review but I love how well you transformed Justin from 17 to 27. Like how he has so many characteristics that are the same but yet you can still tell from the way that he acts that he's a 27 yr old now. I just think the way you write him is very clever!! 



Author's Response: YAY thank you so much! that's one of the things that I love the most about writing this couple. I can do throwbacks and reminiscents of who he was and how it effects who he is now. I'm glad you liked it Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

eeeeeep! This is definitely my favourite short so far! It was just so lovely and fluffy and gooey and sweet and it made my heart feel all mushy. I love them so much!

Why is this Justin so perfect! It kills me. I want him all for myself!

Thank you so much for writing this. I feel like this can't be the end for Skystin though... there will be more perhaps? *puts on her best cheesy-pretty-please style smile*  



Author's Response: YAY Thank you so much!!! I seriously LOVE writing these too and I'm pretty sure this Justin is my fave of all of them that I've written. They are definitely my favorite couple. *sigh* *cuddles them* Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

I really loved this!

I love how before you introduced Justin, I was imagining him the same way Christina originally was and then as soon he opened his mouth (and cursed haha) I started imagining Justin! It was very well written!

Can you pleaseee write more? I could see a great story coming out of this!
