A) Super-flattering. I say this devoid of sarcasm.
B) Ten points for your icon quote.

Very pleased to see more from you, and I really like this idea. Ten men, nineteen parts. I'm curious if some will be repeats or if we'll get Annie's POV as well.

Good job with this one. Annie is already my fave, but this one broke my heart a little bit more for her. Looking forward to the next installment.

As the series is currently planned, there won't be any Annie POV -- it's her as seen by the men who've loved her. The pattern should be clear in the next chapter (which is now up!) or two.

It is weird that I haven't written any Annie POV yet, though, haha, since I consider her to be a character I can understand really well -- not that I'm anything like her, per se, just that I understand her. Then again, she's fairly easy to understand because I think her desires are some of the most relatable of anyone and she really is fairly irony-free. Anyway, the point was, the next fic I have planned, which is sort of a five-times fic that will work as a sequel to my last one (Residue from Last Night) is set to be half Annie POV as of right now, so I'm working into it.

Now that I've gone well off topic, the tl;dr version: thank you and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

OK I'm gonna need daily updates on this series because it's so good and I don't think I'll be able to wait. OK? Thanks!!

Seriously though this is a great concept and it's heartbreaking in such a great way and I have a feeling most chapters will be that way and I can't wait for more :D

Well, your wish is my command -- for one chapter, at least. The second installment is now up, though I doubt anything will ever come this quickly on the heels of the last installment again, but knowing you're waiting for the next chapter will definitely help keep me writing!

I love this premise, very clever. Can't wait for the next!

Thank you! It's up now whenever you get a chance to take a gander!
