I think FFNet is acting up again. No review alerts the whole morning (as in the GMT +8.00 timezone) . So nothing seems to work in the alert-department, the ones for BBWW neither . (I saw a new post there (actually a new challenge ;D) only by coincidence and the alerts for both the post (5 days ago) and my answer haven’t been sent so far.) Stupid FFnet! I guess you should mentally prepare yourself for a detail-obsessed review of mine, griever…

I totally agree...
Looking forward to your review, Mari. I don't mind 'detail-obsessed'. I LOVE it actually, shows me what I've done right or wrong, where I can improve... Gotta love ya for that.
Thanks in advance!

I got yours, Tigrou. I got EVERY one of the reviews. THANKS EVERYONE! FFNet is working again, and my inbox was flooded. I practically fell out of my chair when I came back from college and saw how many there were for the story. And they were all AWESOME! Even the short, one lined reviews made my day. Heheh. Review junkie. I realize it was pretty stupid of me not to put down the meaning of the titles of the stories (Rindu and Kesal). Stupid, stupid. So here they are, especially for Lisa who asked about them and reminded me I'm probably the only here that speaks the Malay language. Not very well, though. English is my mother tongue. Rindu- doesn't really have a direct translation, but it basically just means 'the feeling of missing someone very,very, very, badly. The word kinda describes the entire mood and feeling for the fic. I nearly put 'Missing You' as a title, but it didn't really do justice to the HUGE amount of angst in the story. So I used Malay. Kesal- It means regret. Plain and simple regret. Max's regret for not going to Logan sooner, Logan's regret for leaving, coming back, hurting Max. Yeah, so, in a nutshell it really is just about all the regrets in the story. To all of you who asked, YES, M and L will get a happy ending. How could i NOT give them a happy ending?! But it's going to take time. Nobody gets over being hurt quickly, do they? And Logan's married. But definitely a happy ending for them. Maybe in a sequel to the sequel. A third installment, to make this a trilogy. And the third installment can be called 'Cinta'. Chocolate cake for the person who can guess what 'Cinta' means.

I'm guessing happy, now share that cake!
Wow, I love those stories even more now that I know the meaning behind the titles. It's too bad English doesn't have a better word to translate for rindu, we could use a word that expresses that kind of sentiment...
And thank you for reassuring us of a happy ending, although I don't know if I will be able to wait until the end of a trilogy!
Remember that you can't get an inbox full of reviews if you don't finish stories.. (hint, hint, nudge, prod, please update soon)

I'm guessing love, but it's Lent (no chocolate or alcohol 'til Easter), so you can still give the cake to Lisa or just reward me with a new chapter ;D ;D

Tigrou got it right - Love. A new chapter? So soon, ah you guys are killing me here. I'll try my best. Semester break is coming soon, which means I'll have tons more time on my hands. HOPEFULLY I can get another chap done by that time. Even if I don't, rest assured I'm not one of those who abandon stories. They will get done...eventually.
Oh, and thanks LT. Gen Carter.. Glad you enjoyed them.

I should have gone straight to Babelfish! Oh, well. I was on the right track... Virtual cake doesn't go stale, it should keep.

I should have gone straight to Babelfish! Babelfish has Malay translations? *runs off to check* No... Its a really minor language in the big world. LoL. Most of the words are taken from other languages anyway...

I am HATING my computer right now. ALL MY FICS ARE GONE! It crashed after posting at Instebri's thread...Don't know why, but it crashed. And then after restarting the damn machine, everything was gone. Documents, programs, pictures, songs...the whole ten yards. The only thing left was the Firefox, Media Player and the desktop wallpaper. 5 pages of the latest chapter of Kesal, 3 of Holding Hands and a nearly finished chapter of Lost to find are GONE. Is there ANY way to get them back? Sniff....

Thanks for the anwser. I don't know exactly how you are familiar with PC, but if your computer is a kind of PC with Windows (whatever version of Windows (XP, 2000, even 1998 or 1995) you can't really lost just some part of your informations ( Imean just your files, but not your program, except if you had to re-install Windows). 1) Maybe you should look in the "My Document" section to find it all 2) Or take a look on the Recycle Bin and use the button Restore All? 3) Even going on your main disk and try a "Search" with the name of one of your files? 4) or try this link : www.smartundelete.com/Sorry if you don't have a PC/Windows, I can't help. So, if this didn't works, you can bring your computer at the store (if they have a 'repair department' because I know for sure than they could scan it and retreive all the losing data). Sorry for this: didn't you have ....a ... backup..on disk or tape? (Sorry! It's not the right time to tease, I know!) But I'm angry to , you loose what? Not the next chapter! Hope this will help!
