Bio:

The Pretender was/is my favorite show. I've never been involved in another fandom. I started writing FF because Jonathan Yip asked me to write a story and woudn't take 'No' for a answer. So I wrote Melons. That's when I discovered how much fun writing fan fic really was! After that I was hooked! I haven't written anything for a long time but who knows! ;) There's always tomorrow.

Update: OK, well 'Tomorrow' came in Sept '06. Had to write something for the 10th year annversay of the Pretender. And I'll be damned! I'm back to writing again.

Reading suggestions: Fire! End of Pursuit are 2 of my best. Retribution if you're feeling dark. Love Is Blind and Writer's Block if you need a laugh.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

MP.jpgI have a question (oh yes I do!  Even if you don't want to hear it missy!)   I get a e-mail saying I have a response to a review I left  for example:

jacci has responded to your review. You can see the response at http://www.pretendercentre.com/missingpieces/user.php?action=reviewsby

Well that is nice but when I click on it I get:

a message saying I am not authorized to be allowed in OR 

If I am logged in, I get sent to the first page of reviews I've left.  Well I have left little over 300 reviews.  So unless I go thru and look at every review I've ever left or go to your stories, how am I suppose to know which story I left a review for that you responded to????  (scratches head, oh wait!  That was someone poking my head with a sharp pointy stick!  Must have been Cathy.)



Author's Response:

Hey Rachell, lucky for you i am in a question-answering mood.

That respond thing is a pain i know, but right now there isn't all that much I can do about it.
If you aren't logged in when you use the link, you get the Unatuorised message, and if you are 
logged in, then you get the page of reveiws, instead of the one you got a response to.

There have been requests to have this changed and hopefully the script gets an update soon.
Until then, I am afraid we are stuck with it.

Title: Chapter 17: Email Refuge

MP.jpgHmm, if you don't hear back from Sydney, check out Broots' office.  I saw them  playing cards as I passed by.  From the green plastic visor that Syd was wearing, I think he's the dealer for a high stakes poker game.   Let's just hope that Willie and some of the other sweepers aren't bad losers. 


Author's Response:

I am sure they are very reasonably minded people... (yeah right)

Actually couch time with Syd was very satisfying, as always. <3

Title: Chapter 18: Puts ad in newspaper for all of eastern seaboard to see

Your story has taken a riviting turn.  Can't wait to see what happens next.  But are you sure that black leather clad form headed your way isn't Arygle 'pretending' to be Jarod ?

MP.jpg yes, I am still suffering from PCD as you can see!



Author's Response: If it is Argyle, then someone is going to be hurt in the worst possible way. Me NEEDS Jarod right now, and is long overdue to get some Jarod-action in this story.

Title: Chapter 20: Time To Choose

What's this?

Anauthorised access to the Arkam file, Raines is onto you now!.

Very funny Jacs! HaHa!  I bet you did that just for me!

Well I had wondered where Jarod was hiding and with whom!  When I plastered the eastern seaboard, the fly over land in between and the west coast newspapers with my ad for help for Miss Cathy, the only answer  I got  was from Argyle.  Being the sweet, kind and considerate (cough, cough) gentlemen he is, he grabbed his passport and flew over to help Cathy.  However, I'm sure she would have rather Jarod had answered instead of being 'busy' with the unknown girl!  (wink)

OK, I'll have to check out the new goodies you have for us to play with!

Title: Chapter 21: While Jarod is distracted

WOW!  After that chapter you need a cold beer, a glass of wine, a straight shot of wiskey!  Hell, how about the entire bottle of Tequila and I'll even slice the limes for you and Jarod?  BTW it sounds like the mystery girl needs a cold shower.  (wink wink ... oh wait that was something in my eye.  Darn!  How dare you poke me in the eye while I was peeking thru the keyhole at JarodMP.jpg! That's no fair!) 

On a serious note however, am I really blind?  I tried the drop down box for my pcd and it seemed to work just fine.  Am I delussional or something?  (And when do we get a spell check on the reviews? You know I can't spell worth a damn!)



Author's Response:

You are right, dropdown seems to have fixed itself, ohhh that is uber weird. \"smack.gif\"

Spellcheck is still pipedreams unfortunately. Have investigated this option and it is unlikely to be available any time soon. Although if you use Firefox, that has an inbuilt spellchecker which is pretty cool. 

 Get those drinks ready, i feel like I will be needing them. I mean, the unnamed mystery gir will be needing theml.

HaHa! Is Jacs, I mean Mystery Girl in trouble when she gets back. She'll need all the help she can get from Jarod. LMAO!

Oh Sarah, you'll do fine! Mystery Girl and the other PTB really need a break and I promise to behave. Afterall I'd hate to be the first one you use that feared foam poker on!

Author's Response:

Oh I hope so RaChell, I really do... *holds on to Poke'y extra tight, just to be on the safe side*

But I completely agree, they were looong overdue for a vaction.

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

Nice start.  I hope this is only a taste of things to come.  You had betterg et busy or else your readers will have to contract with the Centre and send some sweepers your way for a little 'encouragement' in producing the next chapter.  ;)

Author's Response:

hahaha.. that was subtle.. thanks for the review, and i promise that chapter one willl be coming very shortly.. it's at the final stages of betaing.. and i may or may not have the the next five already written...*cough* 

as Syd would say.. patience ;)

i know it was a mean teaser.. nothing more.

Nice going! Loved the line"...stir up her emotions like a blended fruit smoothie." Like that very much.
Good start but I'm not ready to call off the Centre sweepers yet! ;) Anything that will prod you to move along a little faster is worth it.

Author's Response: hahaha.. well Chapters 2-5 are in the hands of the beta.. you know where to send Willie. Thanks again for the review, it's always extremely appreciated. Happy waiting =)

Title: Chapter 15: 14 Stalemate

10 stars aren't high enough to rate this one with KatieQ!  Sorry but unless Jacci changes things it'll have to do.  Nice job and tense.  Like the part with Miss Parker, and Lyle is so predictable.  LOL!

Now if only you could post another chapter before Real Life turns to hell ....  well I'm sure I'm not the only one biting my nails.  Hurry up or I'll have stubs for fingers.

Well worth the wait. Nice to see Lys back in the story. I wondered what happened to her. Love the last line,
“Let’s get him back Sydney. Whatever it takes.”
It sounds like it's going to get really good in the next chapter.

Author's Response: Lys is  here for the long hall! I hope the next chapter does not disappoint! Thanks as always RaChell!

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 3 - My Brother

Very very nice! Not as intense as the previous ones but you leave the ending with enough foreboding to know the next one should be really exciting. Looking forward to more.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 4 - And So It Begins

What a delightful surprise and so nice to wake up this morning to find a new chapter. Intense as always and a must read. Now I am looking forward to the next chapter. It just keeps getting better and better. I nominate you to take over the next Pretender movie KatieQ! Who needs Craig and Steve when we have you?
Edited to add: I couldn't stop thinking about your story all day! I can't wait for the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: Aww RaChell you are much to kind! Next two chapters (almost three) are with my super fabulous beta team who are really making this story what it has become. Try my best to bring you the next chapter soon.. i know how hard it is to wait when you are enjoying something.. *cough* hint to Jacci and Onisius re: AWP..hehehe

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 6 - Worse than Isolation

Nice going even if it did make me a bit sick to my stomach! Africa is not on my travel plans after this story. I keep waiting for MP, the gang and Jay to do something to rescue them, (Jarod & Lys) I mean she does get rescued right? You can't leave her there!

I have to be out of town so won't be on-line for several days. I'll be looking forward to more when I get back. (meaning you have 3 days to get to work. Hint Hint) :)



Author's Response:

hahaha.. it's already done,going through the beta process.. nice try though. Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad we are being successfully creepy.

Taking the 5th on Lys.

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 7 - Nightmares

Very intense!  I was hoping for more of Miss Pparker and company and their plans of rescue.  Maybe in the next chapter?


Author's Response: Yeah sorry muse was not cooperating on MP& Co for awhile there. They are back (as you already know now.. just catching up now that reviews are fixed and such..) and muse seems to be holding strong so far.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 8 - Gathering Strength

Intense as ever! I really enjoyed the part with Gemini and Miss Parker, Syd and Broots. Very nicely done. I'm looking forward to seeing how she interacts with Gemini and if she sorts out her feelings for Jarod in the process.

And of course I want to wring Henrik's little neck for screwing over Lys and Jarod. ;) I hope he gets a taste of the hell he's put these two thru. You do such a good job of bring the characters to life.



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you liked the MP/Jay/Syd/Broots part.. I was so unsure about it, and Jacci can back me up that we had many debates over it.

Poor Henrik.. everyone hates him.. feel a little sympathy for the little guy... lol.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9 - Unlikely Allies

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!   It was so nice to come back to not one story with new chapters but two! WooHoo!  This was great. 

I love the way Miss Parker and Jay interact and the way she sees him not as mini Jarod or carbon copy but as a separate person, someone who is exists as a individual. I do  like the way you have her so protective of him.  That's a nice touch and so beleivble. 

I also was wondering about the man in the cage who had looked at Jarod several times.  I was happy to see that developed more and am curious where you will take it.   

 OK, I won't hound you or threaten to send sweepers to your house for a few days.  But  as soon as the evil stats are gone, I do expect more. :)



Author's Response:

hehehe.. i was not expecting bolded thankyous.. rather bolded WTF took you so long!! LOL.. thanks though.. and I'm glad to hear you liked the MP/Jay interaction.. i was hesitant about it

more of the so called salt n pepper man to come.

 

as of tonight.. i'm mostly free.. muse might need a day or two to be coaxed out of the dark hole it was shoved into.. but hopefully words shall start flowing again!

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 10 - Of What to Come

First off, KatieQ, very nice and intense.  Almost cried when Jarod admitted he was defeated and really wonder if you are going to take that line a step futher:  "There was another way, one life whose termination would save them all." 

Nice seeing Lys back even if she's not doing well.  I really feel for her.   Miss Jarod's cell mate, the old man.  I know you are going to have him fit in some how and am curious.  And I miss Parker & Co.  next chapter maybe???

Now that's out of the way  ...  Well it is about time you posted another chapter!  I've waited and waited and what do you do?  Post it when I'm gone.  (wiping away a tear or two) And I suppose since I'll be in Texas next weekend w/o a computer, you'll post another chapter.  I'm seriously thinking of of poking you with my sharp pointy stick.  I'll have to un-pack it first since I'm planning a trip to see Parker (Thunderchild.)  On second thought, you've been hanging around with the Bad Boys of Africa a lot of late, so maybe I'll just save it for Parker.  ;)

MP.jpg



Author's Response:

hahaha.. you make me laugh RaChell

 just because i luv you so muhc, I'll be sure to post the chapter next weekend.. seriously who visits Texas?? 

 although our friendly dictator has told me i cannot post anymore africa until you have agreed to write the next sleepyhead.. so poke that stick in the other direction chiquita.

jokes aside, i'm glad you enjoyed.. lots of MP& co in the next chappie (I know because it's already written) and a bit of our mysterious man.. not to much though. 

till next time :P
