Hello Bella. You will have to bare wth me as this is my first review and I am new to this!
Well I'd just like to say that I really enjoyed your story and hope that there is more to come. I was really engrossed and would just love to know what happens. Form my point of view you have done a very good job and are a talented writter and I would like to read more of this story.
Thankyou for writing it in the first place and giving everyone something enjoyable to read. Regards, LL
You did it again! First, you had me choking out laughter, and then, moments later, I was nearly dabbing tears from my eyes from being so touched (the last part - just aw...).
Brilliant.
Just a couple of things now: I loved Lily forgetting about the being a witch when she was looking for a handbag... The jos of being muggle-born.
Then, of course, Vernon stumbling onto Petunia. *snort* Not just the mental image of that, but also James' reaction...
The scene in the compartment. Cuteness!!! And I loved Lily being taller than James. It's those little things...
I could go on and on but I won't because I want to read the next chapter.
i love this story so much- there are far too few good lily/james fics! i only started reading part one though cos it was finished and i didn't need ANOTHER story on my update list but then i found the second part which hasn't been updated since september- SEPTEMBER!! PLEASE update soon!- with LOTS of new chapters!
I absolutely love this story!!! Heather introduced me to it i guess a little over a year ago and we've been enjoying it ever since. (by the way, heather i do not pester you, as i check this site often. thanks for writing such a great story. can't wait till the next chapter comes out!!
This is the best Lily/James fic I've read! I got about half the girls in my grade to start reading it by accident, and now they're bugging me every day asking if you've updated.
So...You'd better make it soon or I'll be pestered to death. :)
And one of them is probably going to read this, so I'd better shut up.
Aww, how sweet! I read ‘Following the Natural Curve: Part One’ and adored it (but never reviewed it — bad me!) and Part Two is every bit as good. I look forward to your next update.
Wow, this story is completely awesome! I think it is so cool to have a peak into the whole story behind James and Lilly. I can't wait for the next chapter to be posted!!!
Following the Natural Curve is wonderfully touching. I'd like to praise you for the well written emotions and interactions between the characters. The story really comes alive. I especially loved the little anecdote of James and Lily's first meeting!
I look forward to further chapters!
cheerios!

Chapter One (Author Response)
Thank you very much, I do appreciate your praise. And the story of James and Lily's first meeting was very fun to write!
Wonderful start...I say that if JKR won't tell us their story I'm glad you are...you are doing a wonderfully brilliant job. This is one of only two stories that Harry and Ginny aren't the center of that I'll read...the other being Lee Jordan: Tour Guide by St. Margarets.
I'm always excited when I see your Author Updates. Thank you for opening my eyes to another part of the Potter 'Verse I never thought I could enjoy.

Chapter One (Author Response)
I am very flattered that you put my story next to St. Margarets! I agree, Lee Jordan: Tour Guide is excellently written and I'm very honored that you think my story is too! And you're very welcome for opening your eyes - it's fans like you that keep me writing!
Sweet, romantic, fluff-stuffed, and well written! What more could a person possibly want?!

Chapter One (Author Response)
Hahaha, thank you! Yes, I do throw in a fluffy chapter here and there - for instance, the next one - but we will get down to business soon. Unfortunately I have to kill off a bunch of people :( - however, it must be done. Thanks again for your review!
I'm so sorry I haven't reviewed earlier but the stupid IE browser
doesn't permit the review box so whatever I could have said would
be--well, the review box would've been pretty empty. I'm not sure if I
do have an account here but either way, I just want to say that I love
your story. I'm curious--do you have this story on ff.net? I know i've
read it somewhere before. Either way, you're a great writer with
awesome talent. Hope to see another great chapter soon!

Chapter One (Author Response)
I'm so glad you love my story! And yes, I do have this story on ff.net and that is probably where you've seen it before. Thank you for your review!
great story. this one is off to a good start. the last part was great too. I'm interested to see where things go, what with auror training and Lily's career. I hope the other Marauders are still plenty involved! :)

Chapter One (Author Response)
Thank you! Yes, it is fun to see where things go - and don't worry, I'll throw you many twists and turns.... *evil grin*
This is such a great series, I'm so glad that you're back and writing it again. And it's hard to believe you're still in high school -- you have a narrative ability and structure that seems much more experienced than that. I can barely wait for the next iteration of this story. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

Thank you very much! Especially for the lovely compliments! My writing ability has been in the process since I began fanfiction when I was thirteen and I'm still working on it. I'm glad to know you enjoy it. Thank you again.
Brilliant job!! I loved the Natural Curve Part I and this one is even better!
