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.
Very good! Intense and exciting, nicely done. Looking forward to more and the wild ride ahead. I have a feeling your Muse has a exciting journey (story wise) in store for us.
Word of warning: Sarah is tough so if you accept her offer of beta reader just be prepared! She can make you cry and is unmerciful as I well know from experiencing her tough beta'ing first hand! So just remember I warned you!
Very nice and well done. This chapter is thoughtfully written and very cleaverly crafted, a nice piece of intense and cliffhanging reading. Good luck on your next chapter and good luck with Sarah! You'll need it. (big smile)
Author's Response:
Thanks, RaChell! And no, Sarah has not breathed fire through her emails. . .yet;)
Love ya, Sarah and RaChell!
Reviewer: RaChell SignedNicely done MP! Can't wait to see where you take us on this wild ride with the next chapter! Looks like you're surviving Sarah. (wink, wink)
Oh yes, just remembered that I must throw soft center chocolates and pink roses at your Muse's feet. Watch out for the thorns!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope the wild ride didn't make you too nauseated:)
You throw those roses and chocolates; maybe that'll distract my muse long enough for me to snap a leash on her and keep her from running away:)
Reviewer: RaChell SignedAw MP, this sucks! As much as it hurts me to say that, really and truly it does suck. You give us two (yes I counted them!) great chapters and then leave us wanting for more! You tease us and have us on the edge of our seat and then expect us to leave glowing reviews?
OK, it's great, it's wonderful but you're mean and cruel making us wait for another chapter!
(deep sigh, tragic face) All my labor of love, and what do I get? "Mean and cruel." You're making my inner child cry . . .
Seriously, though, glad you like it enough to get ticked at me. If I could teleport myself and my betas into an alternate time continuum so I could publish a new chap every day I would. Since I can't you'll just have to bear with me. More is coming, I promise!
Reviewer: RaChell SignedWell done! Now we just need a another chapter or two, or three or what the heck! Make it several more!
Author's Response:
Thanks, RaChell!
I know it's been an obscenely long hiatus, but I'm *almost* ready to post the next chap. After that, updates will be coming fairly quickly, so I'll try not to torture you too much.
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, believe it or not, I am still writing.
Reviewer: RaChell Signedit's the second part to alone, Jarods answer to Miss Parkers E-mail
Very sweet Elisa! Love it and it's perfect.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedA mobster in New York kidnaps the charaters in this story to find out who kidnapped his daughter. Will they save her in time?
Very interesting Gena. A bit confusing unless you know the chatacter but quite a intriguing undertaking, merging 4 shows into one big cross over. Kudos on doing a great job explaining each character and their show.
BTW where is your other story??????
Very good Gena! It really came together and I'm glad you got it posted.
Very nice! A little bit of angst tempered with a bit of humor and insight into the relationships between Sydney,Jarod and Miss Parker. I hope there is another chapter to come. (there is isn't there? )
Glad t see you're back and writing! Don't forget Burn Notice tonight.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedOK, I see you skipped ahead from the classic TP in the beginning to the future at the end.
And yes, I got a chuckle out of that play on words 'Less Than Perfect'
Hi RaChell!
Thank you! And I had to find a way to use "LESS THAN PERFECT". Glad you liked it.
Update soon. Talk to you later.
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedI see you're working hard to recalim your title as 'Queen of Angst' Anna! Intersting turn of events. I'm looking forward to see where you take it.
Hi RaChell!
Thank you! I will be updating this week. So, stay tuned!
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedAh, the Queen of Angst is back! Love where you're going with this. (not that I really know where you're going, I just like the concept of it) Now get busy and bless us with another chapter, the suspense is causing me to bite my nails!
Hi RaChell!
Thanks! Update will be soon!
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedNicely done as always Anna! Good to have the Queen of Angst back.
Author's Response:
Hi RaChell!
Thanks! I'll be updating soon
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedHmm, why do I get the feeling you had planned this sweet and tender moment all along? ;) Nicely done!
Author's Response:
Hi RaChell!
Thanks so much. I'll be posting really soon.
Take care.
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedAw, that was sweet Anna! (and of course the picture of Jarod with a baby was a dead giveaway to the ending!) Should have known you had something like that planned all along!
Author's Response:
Hi RaChell!
Thank you so much. I just love that pic of Jarod and the baby. Thanks for always reading and taking the time in reviewing my stories.
Anna
Reviewer: RaChell SignedCute story Kris! I esp. liked the dance scene with the brother and Miss Parker at Hyper. You pulled things together nicely. Interesting twist on the clone concept too.
Glad to see your Muse is working again, you need to feed your Muse more chocolate and Pretender epsiodes. (big smile) We need more stories from you.
Chocolate and Pretender episodes... Good tip... Thx :^)
Reviewer: RaChell SignedGreat story! Took me a while to figure out who was 'talking'. Loved it!
Reviewer: RaChell Signed
Interesting story, it's not easy to explain the Pretender! You did it very nicely and I like how you used a seeting in the future for it.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedNicely done, you can picture the angst in Jarod's demenor.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedNice! Very nice and I like it! Why didn't you tell me you had something new?
Um . . . cause I came up with it in about twenty minutes a couple hours ago?
Glad you like! If it makes you feel any better, I'll go post something on the sim forum about it. thx for the review!
Reviewer: RaChell SignedHmmm, I am completely stumped! I want to say the person speaking is Miss Parker but yet .... well I guess I'll have to wait for you to post your answer. I think you have me this time!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the reivew RaChell!
And the answer was guessed over at the SIM so I it in the 'end notes' as promissed
Reviewer: RaChell SignedOh not you too! You're as baffling as Sarah with hers. I want to say who I think it is but yet at the same time I know you're sneaky. (wink, wink) And I'll probably guess all wrong!
Author's Response:
Don't be shy! I don't bite people who leave me reviews! I posted on the forum, but they got it in three guesses, so my fun was short lived.
I aspire to one day in old age and infinite wisdom to be as baffling as Sarah.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedGood story and very suspensefull! But the ending leaves the reader with a strange feeling, almost as if it's not really the ending. You need to add another chapter to answer the question of what Raines did to Jarod, why Sydney needs to know and finish it off.
Reviewer: RaChell Signed
Nice to see you explained the mystery of why Jarod was co-operating. Now it seems more finished.
Reviewer: RaChell SignedWooHoo! I love it! Need I say more and it's great. Can't wait for another chapter .... which BTW.... had better be coming soon or I'll have to pull out my pointy stick and borrow Kat's stun gun and have a talk with your Muse.
