I received this from one of my readers:

Normally I'm a total lurker, but I thought of your story this weekend and
thought I'd share.  I was at an arts festival on Saturday and met a really
great woman who does mixed media art.  As I was looking at her pieces, I saw
her "Femmes" series and immediately thought of your story - your Bella just
popped straight into my head and stayed there.  It's sort of an affirmation
piece "I am a full figured woman and I am fulfilled," but it reminded me so
much of the way you write...it was beautiful.

Anyway, if you'd like to take a look, the artist's name is Laura Wellem and
you can google her site.  The piece is under the "Femmes" series about a
quarter of the way down the page.  I bought the first one shown there.  :)  I
know a lot of people think fanfiction is silly or a waste of time, but just
like any type of writing, it affects people (and makes them buy cool pieces of
art, lol).  So thank you for the time and creativity you put into your story.
It is appreciated.

[Back to me] - This made me soooo happy.  I can't even begin to tell you.  I've had such a huge response for such a short story (it's only 6 chapters long!) but apparently just letting other people know that it's out there and it's ok to be who you are and be proud of that is enough.

Big thanks to Kate and all my readers/reviewers.  Hearing from you seriously makes my day.  <3
