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: 'Til We Meet Again

th_JMP.jpgVery good! I like the story, it's interesting and I can see you really tried to slow down and be more detailed then some of your previous stories. I'm so happy to see that you did that! It still feels like you're trying to find a balance between writing too fast or too slow. That delicate balance takes time so don't feel discouraged. I'll be the first to admit, I haven't reached that point yet and I often drag things out.  But you are getting there and this story doesn't feel rushed! 

I liked the details and I'm hoping you will continue with a chapter 2. This is a very nice start. :)
