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 4: Chapter Three

Reviews?  You dare to ask for reviews????  How long has it been?  And to think I had to take a break from reading Pretender stories before your Muse decided to grace us with another wonderful chapter. 

Other then that this was nicely done and I am lookjing forward to more.  I'll toss a few soft centered chocolates and thornless roses your way for now but wait too long and I'll grab a sharp pointy stick and give your Muse a good prod!

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

I only have time to read ONE fan fic, (sigh, life right now is so unfair!) so I picked yours.  Nice to catch up on another chapter.  Chapter 5 flows very nicely and you left us hanging (as I know you had every intention of doing!)  It'll be interesting to see where you take us from here.  Nice work!  Well done.  Pass my praise on to  your Muse, it's well deserved.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Very nice!  Love the answer to a 18 point turn re: backing out the car.  (wink, wink)  Nicely done and looking forward to more.

Author's Response:

Backing the car in that way only seemed (dare I say it?) logical.  Much easier to escape going frontwards instead of backwards.  More speed from the car that way too.  Chapter 2 is on the way to the beta, so....only 3 more drafts before I can post.

 OK, at the risk of falling off my chair from laughing, all I can picture from that sentence is Jarod dressed as Spock!  Well it is almost Halloween so why not!  (big grin)  Looking forward to more of course!  



Author's Response: I had the same picture in mind when I wrote the sentence.  Wonder if we are both suffering from a little too much smoke inhalation?

Not a bad story for a story that has Jarod leaving with Zoe!  My only complaint is that some times it's hard to figure out who is speaking.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

(blushing here) Sorry I posted this review at one of your other stories ... so here goes:

Nicely done! Can't wait for chapter 3. But wait a minute! Where do you get the idea that families are perfect and love each other un-conditionally? (shaking head) What world have you been living in? My family is almost like Miss Parker's, my father could have given old man Parker a run for the title of worst father of the year!



Author's Response: ahh now this reveiw makes more sense lol. was wondering where you got the good family from lol, and thought i jsut forgot smt i wrote in the other story lmao anyway, Thanks RaChell

This is it?  Well this , this ...sucks!  How could you bring us this far and then kill him off?  I wanted a happy ending.  No chocolate or roses for you and NO PEZ either!

Author's Response: Lol, sorry RaChell, but one of them had to die to tie in with my poem, and it just seemed Jarod fitted better. I cant bring him back to life, he is dead as dead can be so i am afraid this is it lol Thanks for reviewing and i do hope you enjoyed it despite the ending

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Excuse me Cathy and MP but this writer and her Muse do not deserve chocolate! (takes chocolate away from Muse).  Yes it is a good story, could be better (rolls eyes) but then the writer and her Muse killed off Jarod!  It's Christmas too!  What kind of writer does that? 

I demand a alternative ending, a happy one damnit!  Until then I'm going to call in the chocolate police and have them conficaste every bit of chocolate that Muse has hidden. 



Author's Response:

Sorry RaChell, if you need to keep the choccies, then go ahead and keep them. Jarod has been killed off, it was either him or Parker and Jarod went better with the poem then Parker because he is far more unique then she is. And it is only a Christmas story because you dont get snow any other time of the year and the poem is titled WHITE SNOWFLAKES.

As for the Alt Ending, i dont think i could do that, because 

again, it would not tie into the poem which was the reason for

the story. I am sorry you are calling the Chocolate police lol, but to make you feel better, i will send you and your muse some choccies, ok? Have a nice chrissy!

Never and I mean never  have I read a story where I have told the author I wanted a re-write. (sigh) I know you wanted to kill someone off but....but ... really did you have to?  I'm going to sit here and pout and no you're not getting the chocolates back.  If you can't give us a alternative ending then I want a happy story for Christmas.  I know you can do it so don't give me any excuses.  (blows nose in kleenx tissue.)  I want another story.

Author's Response: lol, yes RaChell, i REALLY DID have to kill someone off lol. *Sigh*, fine i will do a little rewrite of the very ending and add a little more, but damn it! do you relaise it wont fit my poem which was the reason for the story? do you realise it wont be sad? lol dont expect much more than a few para's though, and this is only for you.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Right, a girl has to have some secrets!  (cough, cough) Don't think it's Jarod because of the cheap gloves  but then again it could be.  He might be shopping at Walmart these days due to the writers' strike. (wink, wink)  Don't think it's Cox, he would go naked, ah ...I mean bare handed rather then wear cheap gloves!

 Ok the person threaten might be Broots, gotta love the show of bravo.  OK I give, I'm stumped!  Oh yes, I suppose you think you deserve a 10.  (wink, wink!)



Author's Response:

:)  Verrry good analysis.  Off track, but you get an A for effort!

While I appreciate the logical process, I think you're reading too much into that one word "cheap."  The narrator is not Broots, but you're on the right track.  Sorta.

I'm toying discussing this with the people on the forum, if anyone wants to drop by and see what others are saying.  It's in the SIM under "Writing Games."

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I'd love to drop by the forum and chat, I mean discuss this  but life is hectic right now and I'm doing good sneaking in the few stories I've been able to tonight.  I'll have to wait until you break down and tell us. 

 So if it isn't Broots, then Syd?  I can't picture it being Syd!  And if cheap isn't a key then why the heck did you use it???? Aha!  I know, just for meaniness, just to tease us!  I knew it!  You are really one of Raines' minions in disguise!  You're here to use us for sims, making us run thru mental mazes filled with deceptive clues and to torture us with abstract ideas that only a genuis could figure out!  ACK!  Some one save me!!!!!!



Author's Response:

(laughs softly).  You can relax, RaChell.  TLM guessed correctly on the forum about (checks watch) 15 minutes ago, so the gig is up for me (it was fun while it lasted).  So here we go:

The gunman is Jarod.  His hapless victim is Mr. Parker.  This is my interpretation of Donoterase 2 where he kidnaps the all-powaful chairman to use as a hostage to get Major Charles back.  I used the word "cheap" to subtly rule out the most obvious candidate for the dastardly deed:  the Armani-wearing, leather-glove-clad Mr. Lyle.  Considering Jarod walks around with 2 dollar plastic candy dispensers sticking out of his pocket, I don't see him being fussy about his leather gloves.  This is also a hint about the "victim;" very few people are rich and snobby enough to recognize the quality of their attacker's gloves while they're being kidnapped.

Just for fun, I threw in a little Jarod-style justice:  he reenacts his own kidnapping to punish Mr. P.

Please don't freak out.  I like my subjects (cough, cough) friends to be calm and content when they're reading my experiments stories. :)

Thanks, RaChell!

P.S.  I could have been much more cruel; after 9 months and 8 chapters, KatieQ still has not revealed the answer to her "Guess who, guess what."
