AmelieDaydream chapter 8 . 5/3/2017 So I know you wrote this like, a bajillion years ago, but hey, I got into the whole twilight craze a little late, shall we say. Anyways, although you'll probably never read this, I wanted to let you know that i absolutely love your story. At first, it took a little while to get used to this side of Seth, but you make him so adorable and lovable and I love the diary entry format. This story has had me laughing until I cried and it's one of the best and most unique FanFics out there. A little thank you from me for something wonderful to read instead of the text I should be reading for my English paper! |
lizzy chapter 9 . 12/5/2016 Jake drives a Voltswagon rabbit, not a truck. unless you consider that a truck. |
lizzy chapter 1 . 12/5/2016 its really good other than the fact that he calls it a man journal. that's just super un-manly. :) |
Hanna chapter 12 . 8/21/2016 Wow...that seven year thing just broke my heart |

Guest chapter 6 . 2/15/2016 Chapter 6 Seth is NOT tall and u Google him like a fangirl he is adorable. This is coming from a 15 year old so it is not sexual. |
MarinaNamaste chapter 1 . 6/6/2015 This is great. He's funny and hopefull, jaded and innocent; And totaly none if them, all at the same time. Well done. |
wolfgirl413 chapter 4 . 3/19/2015 This story is hilarious! I totally imagined Old Quil as Rafiki as soon as I read about him trying to whack Seth in the head a second time- just like in The Lion King. Great job :) |
RitaChaCha chapter 12 . 4/27/2014 I love this story and the way you write Seth. It's amazing and you have a real gift. I also love the Embry/Caroline/Tyler subplot. You even make me like Lauren! I realise that after more than four years you are probably not looking to revisit this story, but I would love to know how it ends. Thanks for writing and sharing. |
BlackImprint chapter 12 . 4/25/2014 I found this story while scrolling through the favs of a reader who reviewed one of my fics, and... Wow! Absolutely loved it! It's been awhile since you last updated and so I don't know if you're still writing, but I do hope you'll continue with the story - it's just too good to leave hanging! Your Seth's inner monologue has given me some of the best laughs I've had for a long time! Great work! |
Guest chapter 12 . 1/22/2014 wow, cool, 1,111 reviews. That's awesome, almost as awesome as this story! But anyway, that number 1,111 is really...oh...it's not going to be 1,111 any more... |
BugCatchingExtraordinaire chapter 12 . 12/29/2013 NO HOW DOES IT END? WHAT HAPPENS ON SUNDAY? I READ THIS IN 2009 AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GO BACK AND RE-READ SINCE I LOVED IT SO MUCH BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE ENDING NOW I KNOW WHY YOU'VE LEFT ME WITH A CLUSTERFUCK OF FEELS But I am very grateful that you wrote this because it is very well written and funny and I love your characterization of Seth. I have very much enjoyed these 12 chapters . |
Guest chapter 12 . 12/13/2013 Is this the end, dear beautiful writer? Is this where the angsty, innapropriate, side-splittingly hilarious man-journal of Seth Aaron Clearwater ends? I am readily able to virtually beg, on my knees, without any regard for my dignity right now just to get another chapter to this story - it's so brilliant. I'm aware that it's been quite a few years since you last updated this tale of life according Seth but I neeeeed more of this; it's like my addiction right now. I need it. Hoo-Hoo. Really. So please, in whatever time you can find between pressing matters of life, update this brilliance? |
darcyMitch chapter 12 . 10/4/2013 So just letting you know that it is due to your amazing writing that I have logged on to fanfiction for the first time in about two years just so that I could review this story. I really, really love it. Your Seth is just so adorkable. I love him and his cute, bumbling awkwardness. I haven't read any fanfiction in years, and on a whim I decided to the other day and found this story. I really enjoy stories about the Pack, and La Push (but, obviously, only if they're well written), because there is just so much potential in all those side characters and the whole wtf-ery that must be their lives and imprinting and being werewolves and everything. And I think you've done really well with this story. So. Here are the things I am complimenting you on. Firstly, the funny. Your story is funny. It makes me giggle as I read it on my phone, which is awkward, because then the people around me wonder what I’m laughing at. But you don’t seem to be relying on just the funny as part of the appeal of this story. It has real depth that I’m enjoying reading. In chapter 10, I think, where Seth was talking about his dad, and how he used to blame himself for his dad’s death etc. That whole passage really got to me, because it wasn’t all angsty and depressing, nor did you suddenly lose Seth’s voice trying to convey his emotions. It still sounds like Seth talking (writing?). He is still the good-natured, awkward, confused teenager, but at the same time it’s clear that he is/was dealing with some pretty big issues. Obviously with his dad dying, and his feelings of guilt, but his realisation of his sister’s guilt, and trying to accept his mother’s way of dealing/moving on. But also. Seth phasingDad dyingfuneralBellaCullens returningJacob losing Bella. That’s deep, bro. I had never even considered that before. And the fact that Seth thinks about it and realises his role in events... wow. Mindblown. Anyway, the upshot of that highly concise piece or writing is that I really enjoyed that scene (is it actually a scene when he’s just reflecting in a man-journal? Anyway...). It was very well written and probably my favourite part of the whole story so far. More things I like (I actually spent so long writing about that one passage I forgot most of what else I wanted to compliment you on): Embry’s side story! This also is great. Because I like how Seth is all “Wtf are you doing? You could imprint! And break her heart! Like Leah! Ekgjn;efj.;qerkuhgeghwtgh!” Which is only natural for him to worry about. But Embry is being very adult about it all. Because who is to say he will ever imprint? Why would he waste his life waiting for something that may never happen? This is part of the wolves that I like and why I think they have such fanfiction potential because there are so many unanswered questions, that, when dealt with effectively, can make a great story. I also really enjoy your portrayal of Leah, and the very messed up relationship between her, Sam and Emily. I like how she seems to have pretty much moved on and is helping Emily with the wedding etc, but Seth has picked up on glimpses of her not being quite as happy as she seems, which is lovely, from a characterisation POV. And again, Seth. Naww. He is just so cute. I think one of the reasons I like him so much is because of his relatable-ness. Not that I have ever been a boy. Or able to change into a wolf. But I have been a teenager, and I think that being a wolf and the giant size that comes along with it just seem like metaphors for the awkwardness that you feel as a teenager, and not being truly comfortable with yourself yet. Also the amount of times Seth does something so embarrassing, I just cringe because I remember being in situations like that. And thinking that he’s imprinted all the time makes me laugh, because it just seems like another teenager-y thing to do, and reminds me of myself a bit (aside from the actual imprinting bit) when I was younger and used to think that I would have this connection with almost every single guy that I met. Ugh. Note to Younger Self : please stop that. Ooh, and I just remembered, I really loved the bit where Seth was wondering if his life was just fictionalised for other people’s amusement. Hahahahahahaha. Oh, hey there, fourth wall. Anyway, I think that was all I was planning on saying. Sorry that I ramble lots. This was meant to be a two-three paragraph review, I swear. And I do realise that you haven’t updated this story in quite a few years. I would love more chapters, if you have them in you. But I realise that sometimes people just don’t feel like writing for years (guilty of that myself), or you might just not like this story any more, or you have a very busy Real Life, or a whole number of other reasons why you might not update. And while I would like to read more of this, I get it if you don’t ever update again. In which case, thanks for the feels and the laughs. |
