Hi
This was so good, just read it again, and I am so glad (in a twisted way) you didn't wuss out on this and gofor the flowers and teddy bears ending. Love everything about this story. Waiting most eagerly to see what happens next, how (IF) Jarod is going to get out of this one, how Parker and Sydney cope with this 'new and improved' Jarod.
Author's Response: Thanks, Jacci! I was really worried about this chapter--that the readers wouldn't be able to handle such a dark storyline. It's good to see it embraced, in all its twisted complexities. I'm actively working on two more chapters with many more in the works, so I hope you keep reading!
Ohh sniffers, you made me cry, bad bad you!!!
That scene with Sydney and Jarod was so good. I hate what is happening to Jarod, it is making me feel ill at the unbelievable violation, which far outdoes all the previous ones (and that is really saying something). You have captured the moods and nuances perfectly and I love how torn but determined Parker is.
Can't wait for more.
OMG that was so good that it hurt. Why has nobody told me about this before? More more more more more!!!!!!
Author's Response:
So good it hurt? That's a good thing, right?
Seriously, though, thanks Jacci! After a *long* hiatus I've been strapping down to get the next chapter edited and ready. It should be up in a few days time.
Soon soon soon soon!
Reviewer: jacci SignedOhh that was very exciting, can't wait to see what happens. I fear for poor Jarod though and have never hated Parker quite as much as I do right now. So glad too that some idiot at the Centre finally figured out that the vents were a security risk!!!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the kind words. Can't tell you how glad I am that you've "discovered" this story. I hope you can get back into it and enjoy the next chapter . . . Well, maybe "enjoy" isn't the right word . . . just read it!
P.S. No being mean to my Manoline. (points to Sarah's review) You *don't* wanna see what my writing would be like without her.
Reviewer: jacci SignedJust loved the detail here of life outside of Jarod, it was perfectly done. I almost don't want Jarod to wake, I don't know if I can stand it. Like poor Angelo, it is just all too much to take.
Hurry hurry with next chappie!!!
Reviewer: jacci SignedThat was sweet, and yay for Jarod, he so totally deserves it.
Ummm, no purple button to press so i assume the pale orange one will have to suffice?
Author's Response:
OK, so I cant tell me colors....
This chapter may be sweet, but dont worry there in no diabetic warning attached to the rest of the story.
Reviewer: jacci SignedOhh i am going to smack that Margaret. How rude!!!! Poor Jarod deserves better than all of this.
Author's Response: Poor Jarod may not deserved any of this, but when has he deserved anything he has gotten?
Raines and Willie capture Jarod. Horrible things follow. You'll have to read it to find out more.
Oh that was classic, just pure gold!!!!
Author's Response: *Big Grin* Gee thanks, Jacci.
I really liked that indeed. It was sad and sweet at the same time and rather sneaky too.
Author's Response: Aw thanks. Sneakiness is my favorite thing to play with in a story so I'm glad someone else likes it aside from myself :)
Jarod is suffering from Ennui and during a momentary lapse of concentration is caught by the Centre, who now have their sights set on reclaiming Gemini...
I really liked this too. The name caught my attention, so took a look and was very pleasantly surprised. The rythm in the first part was perfectly suited.
It is quite the fresh take on how Jarod got caught and I will most definitely but looking for an update.
Thanks Jacci, it’s really great to get feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed my first attempt at this, it’s been a lot of fun to write. The next few chapters are going to cover a bit more of the back-story to how/why he got caught, so hopefully you’ll keep enjoying! Thanks a bunch!
Reviewer: jacci SignedAn empty lair sends the gang into unfamiliar territory. The hunters turn game, while Jarod fights for what he thought he'd always have; His mind.
Sarah, it looks great, the colours are working nicely and i liked the intro too.
Fabulous work!!!! and yay to all of us for actually completing it.
Thanks Jacci. And yes, big big yay that we finally got it finished. Now all we've got to do is sit back and reap the fruits of our labor...*waits for praise-filled reviews*
- Manoline
Reviewer: jacci SignedLMAO, that was soo good. I just love how this idyllic picture deteriorates..
Classic
So glad this brought a smile to your face and made you laugh. I loved writing the part where reality meet Jarod's perfect vision head on. :)
Thanks for your feedback, it means so much to me to hear good things from people who write better then I do!
Reviewer: jacci Signedi really liked this it was different, nice and succinct. nicely done
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your comment jacci !
Wow! This was a great start, beautifully written with lovely descriptions. I could see Jarod on the beach, even imagine the look on his face as he stared up at the Centre. Very evocative. Read like it could have been the next movie (only better). Very interested to see where you go on this.
Author's Response: Hi Jacci! Thank you very much for such a generous review! It is much appreciated. The next movie, huh? We would be so lucky!!!! That's the stuff dreams are made of!! Chapter 6 is coming soon. Thanks again.
Oh that was just perfect!!!! I knew you could write this just how it should be done. I loved it! Well done indeed. Thoughtful, and cleverly woven so that the realisation didn't seem too fantastical a leap. You nailed it.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it *bows*
A short story with Miss Parker pondering her life and the possiblity of Raines being her father.
Nicely done. The movie barely had a chance to show the emotional repercussions of this news for Parker. I liked how you compared her to jarod, how they are not really different at all. It was a good insight into what she might be thinking and feeling. The last line is perfect!!!!
Author's Response:
Thank you!!
I agree, they didn't give enough time to show how Miss Parker would handle the news with Raines as her dad.
When I first wrote it, I knew the title after writing the last line. :)
Hope to write and post some more!
Reviewer: jacci SignedWow, what an opening. That is like nothing I expected at all. Am very curious to see just what is going on here. Loved how you didnt reveal any more than just enough. Very curious
Reviewer: jacci Signed...
That was ... wow... was just amazing. Captured perfectly, written beautifully. I assumed it was Jarod at first, and when it was Angelo, gave it a poingnacy and beauty that was very unexpected and welcome. Beautifully written.
Author's Response: Speechless. ;-) This one just came out of nowhere and I had to write it. Thanks so much!
Sniffers, that scene always makes me cry, Nice little drabble on the family's persepective
Author's Response:
Yeah, it's a good scene. So's the one where the Dickens-reading parents of the comatose young man have to pull the plug with Jarod watching.
Thanks for the review.
Reviewer: jacci SignedOh, nice perspective. Never really thought about it like that before.
Author's Response: Thanks, Jacci.
Nice perspective!
Author's Response: Thanks!
This was really good. The portrayal of Gideon was spot on. The connection between Jarod and Gideon was nicely written and compelling. Not a big fan of crossovers usually, but as they say there is an exception to every rule. Looking forward to where you take this.
Author's Response: Thanks, Jacci! I love "Criminal Minds." This was supposed to be a one-off, but I have ideas for where it could go...
That was really good, poignant and heartfelt.
Reviewer: jacci SignedBecaue I hated the way Red rock Jarod was written and what was left out I wanted to fill in some of the missing pieces.
This takes place after Dragon House and before Red Rock.
This story begins with Kyle thinking back on his life while in a old hotel room before he meets up with Lyle and Jarod.
This was awesome Arls, such a great insight into a complex character that sadly rarely gets looked at.
Twelve years after Carthis, the death of a dear friend reunites predator and prey. *If adultery bothers you, click elsewhere or prepare to be bothered.
I have to say this and i havent even finished this chapter yet!
OMG!!!! There are just no words to say how incredibly good this is. I totally love the left turn this took, so totally unexpected and just brilliant!. It has been a VERY long time since i have read anything, and now i cant believe i have denied myself this wonderful story for so long. Arghhh i have to leave for work and there is no more time!! Can't barely wait to read more.
It is SUCH a pleasure to see this side of 'happily ever after', and so beautifully written as well. Love the pace of it, all the details but without bogging down in narrative. Just perfect! Been a long time since i have been excited about the Pretender and this has just stoked up that interest again in the most amazing way. Going to quickly finish chappie now and be a few mins late for work!! You are evil LMAO!
