Oolll i would be so scared of Tsunade if she was angry with me...i feel really sorry for Ashely truly. i hope she gets a better deal with life soon...lolz in a sick amusement way.
Author's Response: Heh, Tsunade's a very intimidating woman, especially when she's in a bad mood! Ashley's had a streak of bad luck... ever since she entered my story. I feel a little bad for it, but mostly I feel glad that it isn't me and gain a measure of sadistic pleasure of seeing just how wrong things can go for her. But I'm sure she'll get a break eventually... sort of... maybe...

its ok, take your time with it.
Author's Response: Thanks. I've got some time now, though, in-between semesters at school and with my other project wrapping up about a week ago. ;)

YES!!!
Poor Ashley... She just can't seem to relax XD
Oh man, I would hate to be in her posistion all the time. I would lose my mind! Not that I had one to begin with but whatever!
This story is so great, I saw it had updated and I screamed, I'm not even kidding, and then clicked on it. I read it and it was GOOD!!
Oh man, have a good one okay?
Keep up the great work!
Bye~!!
Author's Response: I seem to be obsessed with making sure Ashley doesn't get too comfortable... And now even the "Good guys" are giving her a hard time. :) I suspect that I may have traumatized her, though; she'll probably never trust another shinobi again the way things have been going. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reviewing.

I would be annoyed with them mispronouncing my name, too!
Oh man... poor Ashley. She just can't get a break, can she?
I don't think I would want to be around anybody with the Sharinan after what Tobi/Madara did either!
Just the sight of them gives me the heeby geebies in the first place.
The Sharingan is really scary... especially Sasuke's Mangekyou.
Author's Response: Yeah, having your name mispronounced, especially by people you've corrected before, is always annoying. And if Ashley got a break... well, the story just wouldn't be as interesting, then, would it? ;) The Sharingan is very creepy, and so are most of the people that use it. (Dunno if you've seen the recent manga chapters with Danzo... but very creepy. Although, yeah, Sasuke's Amaterasu... that might take the cake as far as creepiness goes.) Thanks for reviewing!

well...i have no problem with your slow updates; everyone has a life outside the typing one.
the chapter was in good developement; its coming along very well and i want you to keep it up!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the new chapter. Yeah, life's been catching up with me a lot lately, but I'm trying to finish my continuing stories before a change of lifestyle might force me to abandon them... Thanks for the encouragement!

That was fantastic!! Really worth waiting for, I tell you!
I like Pipa! I want one!!! No... Wait... Never mind me. Anyway, it was really great, I loved it and I look forward to more!
Author's Response: Heh, it's the little things I don't expect, like Pipa, that make writing so much fun. I'm glad you liked ch 10, even after the long wait. ;)

Please tell me there are no spoilers, i'm just at the beginning of shippuden! I've read the part where Gaara dies and gets alive 'gain...
Author's Response: Ah... well, from that point there are almost definitely going to be some spoilers (starting around chapter 9, I think)... although due to the nature of the story they will be neither detailed (that is, the pov shown in the manga/anime is not shown in this story) nor necessarily spoilerish. Meaning, if you immerse yourself in Ashley's point of view, you'll question what happens in canon and what happens because she's screwed up the story. Certain events that take place further along in the story than you are do happen in the coarse of the story, thoguh. I won't say what's what, but if you don't want a feeling of 'I was afraid that would happen' when you eventually get to that part in the show, then you might want to pass this up... :(

I really enjoy this story. It's different than most of the others. I hope that you update it soon. :3
Author's Response: I'm glad you like the story! Hopefully, it'll continue to be a different sort of OC story, that's my aim, at least. Thanks for reviewing!
Name: Kikyaru360 (Signed) · Date: 31/08/09 - 07:04 am · For: Chapter 9 - A Change in Luck?
Hey! I found it again! First of all, i have to say that I love your story! It doesn't follow the usual checklist for OCs from our world.
1.Go to Narutoland 2.Find team seven. 3. Join them, and become romantically involved with one. 4. Completely forget about parents, friends, and old life. 5. somehow manage to completely immerse yourself into ninja community with no questions asked.
Your writing is really descriptive as well. Fantastic! :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you like the story so much! Yeah, I never really liked that formula for OCs; it was dull the first time I read it and tedious every time I saw it after... but I still really like the idea of OCs, for whatever reason. It's fun writing something a little different. ;) Thanks so much for your review!

wow! this soo worth the wait! awesome chapter so the explostions = jiraya doing rite?? ooo i so excited to see wat is next ! write on!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. ^^ Yeah, the explosions in the last chapter were from Jiraiya's fight with Pein. Thanks for reviewing!
Name: dalaw (Signed) · Date: 30/08/09 - 12:33 pm · For: Chapter 9 - A Change in Luck?
I really like this chapter. I like how you described everything. I wonder if this is after the time skip or before and ashley got Jirayia killed earlier than planned.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Description is one of the things I've been working on improving during this story, so I'm really glad that's something you liked in particular. Thanks for reviewing!

:D whoo! update!
so she only read up until gaara getting abducted? Pa didn't introduce himself or say he was a summon, is all. makes me think she knew about him.
anyway, yay! progress. destination!
boo, jiraiya is already dead and her 'future' knowledge irrelevant :(
yay! drunk toads! :P
so pa is passing on the message about pein?
congrats on getting the end planned! hardest part, i rekon. yay for quicker updates!
Author's Response: Erm... my fault, actually, in one of the many edits of this chapter I must have taken Pa's introduction out for some reason. (And I'm completely embarrassed that I didn't catch it myself.) I added it back in after you pointed it out, so, yeah... she hasn't read that far, anyway. Pipa wasn't in the rough outline I made, by he amused me to write, and he kind of turned out to be necessary. Being drunk was just an added bonus. ^^rnrnYes, planning the end is the hardest part in stories like this, I think. (Beginning them is certainly easy enough!)

yay an update! very good I cant wait to see what happens!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it--hope you like the new chapter, as well! (Finally got around to updating...)

what was your original inspiraton to write this fic?
Author's Response: Ah... the inspiration came from the same place a lot of my inspiration comes from; reading "bad" fanfiction. I was sick of OCs from our world being dropped into Konoha (or even Suna) and having things go peachy for them (occasionally after a brief bout of hardship) when shinobi must be the most paranoid and violent group of people in existence. I thought things should be more difficult than that and figured I'd have to write it if I wanted to read it. And then I did. ;)

finally! escape time! i wonder what the fighting was about but still...the rain was a good idea to add..i lik it! write on!
Author's Response: Yep, we knew it had to come eventually... unless Ashley were to die there... Anyway, glad you liked this chapter and the addition to the last one! I'm not sure I'll say it explicitly, but you'll learn more about the fighting in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

She's free... wow, I've never been so ecstatic to hear that an OC was freed.
Buuuuut she's convinced she's gonna die. She'll live... I mean, she hasn't even met the main characters yet. Dude... that would really suck if she died.
I love your writing and your story. Update soon!
Author's Response: Yep, Ashley finally managed to get out. I'm glad it wasn't a bad decision on my part. ^_^ Ashley has become quite the pessimist during her time in Rain Country... not that she's had a lot to be optimistic about. But she's alive now, and that's what really counts... right? How many people can say that they escaped the Akatsuki?rnI'm glad you liked the chapter, thanks for reviewing!
Name: Vixkill (Signed) · Date: 09/06/09 - 06:04 pm · For: Chapter 8 - Fish Out of Water
awwww. she's out! but there's no celebrating yet.
great chapter! who were they fighting? was it part of the civil war, or someone else?
keep going!
Author's Response: Who were they fighting, you ask...? Hmm... "someone else", but you'll find out in the next time, I think. Glad you liked the chapter, thanks for reviewing!
Name: Vixkill (Signed) · Date: 09/06/09 - 05:52 pm · For: Chapter 7 - Changes

Author's Response: Glad you liked the addition. I was much happier with the chapter after I added those few pages. ;)
