*picking my jaw off the floor*

Your writing is.. I don't know how to describe it, only that I feel like I'm watching instead of reading. You paint with words and you can paint some really horrific things. You rule!

WOOT! Yahhyy Mirage. This is super PROFESSIONAL authoring here girl. I get tingly from how much in character they all are...like watching-the-dvd-accurate.

I get even more tingling all over when I back up a few chapters and there is Jarod. and parker. The way you write Jarod will always be my favorite thing about you even though you write the other characters just as pretenderperfectly.. he is just like Michael T. Weiss when I read him ... and like Jarod. Have you finally met Michael? Do you not like him or something? I know you're all like "don't objectify him" and stuf but comeon! You can objectify him a little.. he's a celebrity he'll understand. He probably knows he's hot. I can't believe you don't at least have a crush on Michael! What's wrong with you. Isn't he hot? Don't you want to hit that? He's an artist, too and you probably didn't know that did you? He does art on canvas. You do your art in writing for us which is nice. You do like art I can tell by some of the art and sculpting stuff you put in your writing and artist names. You also have the environment in common with him... and I think politics too which is pretty cool so you HAVE to like him. I've never met a girl fan of this series that didn't want to run into him and like all over him.

I want more of Jarod and Parker or Jarod alone. I want that selfie of you and Michael too. It would be so cool.

Squee! An update from Mirage is always so exciting!!

This is a riveting as hell mystery here and is dark and I love it. Your writing is so exquisite. The characters ARE the characters. I'm always in awe at your ability to write the characters exactly as they are in the tv series. Your original character is exactly what I'd expect from a Centre abuse victim. I want more. The sooner the better.

Your writing is eloquent. So stunning Mirage and I've come to expect this caliber of writing from you because you are a wordsmith. This is dark yes but beautifully dark and plausible.

You know where to put each character and where to place each word. Thank you for writing and for sharing with us.

I wait eagerly for more.

So exciting when Mirage updates! You like to let the dark come out and play don't you? This is dark. It's exactly what I think the Centre would be. Dark. Scary. Evil.

Your descriptive work and characterisations are both brilliant as are the dialog and the mood. I'm a big fan of clarity too and you delivered there too. This is a solid chapter to a solid story.  I can't get enough.

First... I'm glad you didn't put a stigma on ECT in general but had Sydney's thoughts make it clear that certain things were necessary for ECT to be safe.

The guy who has Sydney is doing probably what was done to him... it's a kind of ECT I can't remember the phrasing but it was dangerous. ECT used to kill people or hurt them badly.

This is all plausible and accurate. Scarily plausible and accurate. Your descriptions of the surroundings, Sydney's feelings, how he's focusing on a rope ladder instead of the real things keeping him imprisoned. You show the fear and how disorienting it is but also Sydney finally making peace with his own wrong doings and how he thinks he deserves punishment. I mean... damn....YOU ARE good.

"Salvation is a remarkable, often unendurable, imposition." I love that line. He will be saved by Jarod and Parker and they will know the truth and he fears they won't love or respect him anymore. The fear of rejection of disappointing them... is heartbreaking and real.

I can't wait for my day off so I can read your other stories. I hope you will continue. Congratulations!!

You keep me coming back for more and I still want more and more. This is stunning, dark, and in character. I love Sydney's internal dialog too.

You took this in a direction I didn't see and it's so exciting and I'm so afraid for Sydney. But he's done some evil too. You pointed that out before. It's so complicated. Poor Sydney.

I'm always grateful for an update from you. You are keeping my favorite characters alive. Please always write for us.

I can't wait to see what happens next. More please? 

Every now and then I read an author's stories and I'm wowed and blown away and speechless. It happens every time I read your work. This is plausible and should be expected in a place like the Centre. We saw Einnad/Dannie come back but he didn't finish Raines and Sydney is somehow always viewed as not complicit. But he is. He was the adult, the medical professional, and he had a responsibility to do no harm and that includes not letting others do harm. I remember Jarod telling Miss Parker she could stop Raines when he was in her home after she untied him but he never put that burden on Sydney. It pisses me off a little bit that Sydney comes out smelling clean every time. I hope the search for Sydney will bring Jarod and Parker closer to at least be friends again. I want to hear more about the weekened they shared. Did they have sex? Details please! More of this. You are a paragon of literary excellence. Why are you still here and not on some best seller's list? Thank you for staying here though... really. You keep this crazy series alive for me.
