Don't stop now. I've heard rumours...but please don't ever stop writing for this fandom. I wouldn't be a fan without you and you are the best pretender author. Keep it on Mirage!

Thank God! Top notch as always Mirage. Wow! You are a wordsmith and I don't say that often. I'm overjoyed that you've carried on with your fiction as post-isle status quo in the original universe. Your Jarod, Parker, Sydney, etc.. are the characters that I fell in love with. They are the ones I remember from the TV series. An update from you always makes me smile. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for keeping the Pretender spirit alive.

I love reading about Kyle, actually. Maybe because whenever I read his name I still imagine Michael Westen pointing a gun at someone and pretending to be one of his made up covers. It's nice to see him interacting with Jarod, and Parker.

I'm looking forward to see where this takes us. And I hope it takes us to somewhere safe and positive, as I asked you before ;)

And I particularly loved this line:

Parker drew a breath, pressed her lips together in a tight line. She shuddered in anger and rolled her eyes at his toothy grin, "Are you going to tell me what the hell is going on or-"

"Or."

Nice chapter. This story is interesting but if you are in the mood to update stories how about 'Sweet Dreams'? :-)

I like it when you make Jarod unpredictable it makes stories / chapters all the more interesting! As long as Miss Parker is still tough as nails.

Seeing as how Craig and Steven are unlikely to write an ending to the series [at least anytime soon] maybe you should. I'd be interested in your take on it.

As always I appreciate your writing and even more that you don't leave us hanging unlike so many others.

P.S. Valentines Day would have made the perfect time for a 'Sweet Dreams' chapter! :-)

Author's Response:

This is an older review but I wanted to respond to all reviews and so I shall. The muse would love to write an end and has tried to convince me. We shall see. Thanks, twisted.

Sorry, haven't reviewed in a while (busy with lots of things... bla bla bla) but it doesn't mean I haven't been reading :) As always, great chapter! Loved the Little red riding hood reference though definitely not kiddy stuff ;)

"You can't allow this to continue." Mmm... but you do it anyway.

Cannot wait to see where you're going with this :) 

Mirage once again I salute your talent.

Perfect!! I need more of this. Please.

Wow! I wondered how Jarod would react to MP's flight of fancy..he did so by making a real flight of his own....all the way to Blue Cove. I'm guessing his flight won't be a flight of fancy tho? Kyle was perfect, you have a grasp of all the characters, their expressions, the Centre, the interrelationships..the whole bag. Kudos for the Dr. Isshii mention. He was worse than Mengela and doesn't get much mention. Raines is in the ranks with Ish. This is riveting as always. Welcome back and update soon please. :)

This is top notch. Miss Parker wasn't the only one who was shocked. Post more soon.

Amazewows. I read the last chapter first if you didn't know. :) Your descriptive work is aweinspiring. Not many writers illustrate so well with words. The transitions between scenes is seemless too. It goes without saying that the plot is original and exciting. You are a talented scribe and my favorite. It's a shame that you aren't on the Pretender writing team...speaking of, I prefer this. :) I'm so happy to see Broots, Raines and all the characters I love from the original universe.

Hi that was good can't wait for more.

Top notch Pretender caliber quality writing and characterisations as always. You really know how to flesh out the characters and dialog so we can SEE in our mind what is transpiring. You ARE a writer, m'dear, the best Pretender writer bar none. This story is what I'd love to have seen Craig Van Sickle and Steven Long Mitchell do with the series. Thanks for your constant continuity and consistently amazing story telling abilities. I can't rate it anything but a 10.

Yay! Another update to a story and so soon after your other one. This is one of the many things I appreciate about you. You don't leave us hanging! [Except maybe when it comes to 'Sweet Dreams' :-)]

Another wonderfully descriptive chapter. You truly have a gift of fleshing out charecters that we think we already know making them better. I am always left wanting to know more!

Thanks as always for both writing and updating.

Excellent beginning, especially the first part. I liked how you chose to start your story with a set of secondary characters we knew so little about and offer us a plausible portrait of what they would be like a few years later.

I won't dwelve into any particulars right now, because I intend to give a full review when the story is finished, but I will congratulate you on your writing. Keep at it!
