I fought and fought reading this fic. I am a MPJ shipper til I die. Once I started reading it though, it was down right awesome. But please, how can Jarod and Parker be together. He's a catholic priest. Do something about that would ya?
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review, KSPretenderfan. I can understand why a shipper would want to steer clear some of my fics haha, and I appreciate that it didn't prevent you from reading anyway. Some priests do marry, have children, etc.. I don't know that Jarod will get married, however. It all depends on the muse.

I LOVE IT! Action packed..the right kind of action too. I love your style. It's so eloquent and easy to read...characters were perfect...can't give it anything but a 10! Keep on the hard work!
Author's Response:
Thanks, anonymous. I'm so glad it works for you. I'll try to write more soon.

WOW! Amazing story you're writing, so well written, entertaining and this chapter particularly explores questions I wanted answered ei why Jarod sent Thomas and I'm glad to see you do right by him. I hang on every word and I've been checking every day to see if you've updated and will continue to await your next chapter! Don't worry about the reviews. Just write more for us. Thank you!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Amanda. I always try to answer something, because the creators certainly left a lot to our imaginations. I hate empty blanks. I'm not sure when I'll be able to write again. Work-gym-sleep pretty much sums up my life.

Top notch writing, Mirage. You know these characters welll and articulate beautifully and concisely. Just when I think I've guessed where you're going you surprise me with something else and still manage to be original and fresh. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for more and I know you're spending every spare moment writing. Right?
Author's Response:
Thank you, Imogen. Ah, haha, I wish I could spend more moments writing. I'm trying.

Oooooh yeah. What twisted said. I soooo agree. Dammmn! I love your writing style, dry humour and I have to say your characterisations are spot on. I feel like I'm watching this. I wish I was watching this. I really want to see this happen!!! But, I am miffed by your vague chapter notes young lady, don't tell me Jarod is going to hurt her again. Oh, Mirage, don't make us wait too long. Update soon please!
Author's Response:
Thank you, dark one. I wish I were watching any conclusion to TP. I will update. Sometime this year.
Reviewer: TheDarkAngel Signed [Report This]Date: 28/07/12 06:45 pm
Damn! That is the BEST chapter yet. So full of angst and empathy as well. I just might (but NOT as a lover for Miss Parker) like Nicholas. Astra is so like her parents it is scary! And funny in that neither of them can see it.
Thanks as always for updating. I will be breathlessly waiting for the conclusion. Without hope or agenda (ok, that's a lie!) But I do like how this story has evolved! Kudos!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Twisted. No agenda? I'm glad you're liking it thus far and I'll try not to disappoint. Much. Thanks, really.

I love your writing. You continue to hold tight to the characters and use their encounters to move the story forward by backfills. Good work with imagination and creativity. I have a problem getting past the security code but I have been keeping up with your works - enjoying them tremendously. Thank you for continuing to write for us.

Thank you so much, nightowl. I apologize for being so tardy with my responses. Real life. Not fun.

I have to tell you that yor characters are always pat perfect. Their behaviors, expressions even their sighs ^ dialougues are the same as episodes that I can see the characters you write doing the things you write tho darker than I'm comfortable with... so well written that it yanks me in, after Jarod's pain in the past this could happen. Please don't stop writing...
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, Amanda. These reviews are better than anything I write. I won't stop writing. Yet.
Reviewer: Amanda Anonymous [Report This]Date: 25/06/12 06:36 pm
YAY! Awesome chapter! Good for Astra! She is truly her parents daughter. When you first started this I never would have dreamed of a happy ending and I won't really let myself yet but...
I really enjoyed this chapter and I am going to have to stop complimenting you to read it again. As always thanks so much for writing this and all your stories. You should be in the Pretender Centre Hall of Fame for all of your writing accomplishments.
Kudos!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Twisted. I am so late with this response but I am reading and enjoying them all. I know, a happy ending does indeed seem likely.
Hall of shame might be more appropriate for me. I don't feel worthy of any hall of fame or any of these lovely reviews. You're so kind.
Reviewer: twisted Anonymous [Report This]Date: 22/06/12 10:42 pm
Mirage, it's official, you're my favourite writer :) I love the way you wrote Parker and Jarod. This dark side you gave Jarod in this story is very intriguing and fits him so well... And the 3 last lines... hey hey best lines ever :) Pretty sure there's only one (or two) chapters left. Can't wait to read the end (even though we probably all wish for you to go on).
Author's Response:
Thank you, Nathalie, and apologies for the tardy response. I'm in awe at your review and I'm so glad you're liking the darker side of Jarod. I will update as soon as I can. Thanks again.

Reviewer: parkergirl 101 Anonymous [Report This]Date: 11/06/12 04:10 pm
Oh Mirage! This is amazing and definitely something I could see happening. One chapter in and already I have tingles on my neck. I feel sorry for poor Zoe but I could see how Jarod would pity her and let her stay but what the hell happened between him and Parker? I wish I could stay on and read all day so I could finish this but I can't but I can't wait to know what goes on next! Keep writing please.
Author's Response:
Thanks, dark one. I feel sorry for Zoe too. It's not HER fault Jarod followed her like a little lost puppy and clearly he identifies with her in some way. Of course I'll keep writing. Silly.
Reviewer: The Dark Angel Anonymous [Report This]Date: 03/06/12 09:06 pm
Top notch! I read with my jaw on the floor. You bring these characters to life so it's like watching a movie instead of reading and I'm torn between hoping that she and Nicholas will be married and hoping that Jarod can convince her to give him another chance. You did that on purpose didn't you? Hope you'll update your other fics soon.
Author's Response:
Thank you, Imogen. Another tardy response from me. I will update as soon as I can.

Thanks for your encouragement and support! I might need a month or maybe two before I post my fanfic for several reasons (first, real life is taking all my time since I'm moving house and I need to type my fanfic on my computer...) My work, my son, my new house... that's a busy life!
But don't worry, as soon as I post my fic, it will be on this website so you'll be able to read it! And, I'll keep reading your stories (everybody needs some time for themselves!)
Author's Response:
Thanks, Faith. It's been a while now and I'm still looking forward to your fic. No pressure though; I know all about the stress of moving, did the same thing a few months ago while juggling a couple of jobs. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll have time to write and post.

I've just realised I haven't reviewed this piece of work so far, even if I'm still glued to your fanfiction (as always!)
Even if it is not my favourite (maybe because Miss Parker is so distressed that I feel like crying when reading her life....) it is a very different one. As always, you manage to write something so profound and twisted that it has never been done before! Jarod is so annoying in this one! I'm annoyed that he couldn't just push Parker away instead of hurting her (even if I understand how complicated their relationship is) and worse, that he came back!
I'm glad you're still on with your writing and you convinced me to post a fanfic too. Because we, pretender junkies, still need our pretender fix after all! Keep up with the great writing!
Author's Response:
Hello, Faith. First: Yay you for writing and posting! That's great! Could you please provide a link to your story? I'd love to read it and review it (of course).
Indeed. Jarod is a bit of a pill in this one. He basically lost himself in a moment of rage. We've seen him do that on the series though not quite to this extent/with such devastating consequences. I blame it on the muse.
Yes, we absolutely need our fix and Steve and Craig certainly aren't going to give it to us, so I'm glad you decided to write. Please, send me the link via email or on the shout out. I'd love to read it.
Thanks for reading, reviewing and for writing and sharing. Don't forget to send the link.

Thank you for another chapter just as I finished the last one!
You wrote the conversatins so well between all the characters both Jarod and Parker and Jarod and Nicholas.It does make you wonder if any of the characiters truly knows anything that is going on. I wonder if Jarod is going to take control as he has been know to do or will he remain a preist?
Iam lookin forward to the nest chapter--I think, although your comment about blood splattering is a wicked touch! I wonder if the actors that played these charactters miss the show or the fans?
Author's Response:
Hello, nightowl. Thank you for another review. The muse definitely wants Jarod to drop the "holier-than-thou act" (it's not an act- I keep trying to explain that to the muse) and "take control" (as if he hasn't taken enough control already).
The muse and I are butting heads again (that would explain the migraine).
Um, about the actors. I can't speak for Andrea, MW, etc.. I will say this: they SHOULD miss the fans. Terribly. Cry into their pillows. And really wallow in it, you know. Because there are no fans quite like Pretender fans.
Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

Hello Mirage ,
I love all of your stories, especially "Forces of Nature" which are so dark and dramatic. i love the end of Story , really dark.
Now to your Storie Circles of Hell.
I have now read all the chapters and I'm speechless.
But I must say poor Astra, poor little girl.
Matter how much I love your stories, but can you please write a Jarod / Parker happy end.
sorry, in German, I could write more.
Author's Response:
Hello, Preity, and thank you for reading and reviewing. Forces of Nature? *shudders* That was a dark one. I'm glad you liked it.
And this one as well. I generally have a lot of sympathy for children and usually everything works out and the kids are at least happy, but recently, I've written all sorts of horrible things involving kids.
I will try to make them all as happy as possible. I can't promise anything.
Please, don't apologize, Preity. I understood your review perfectly. Thanks again.
Reviewer: Preity Anonymous [Report This]Date: 29/04/12 11:41 am
It? Nobody is un-splattered now! No matter how you end this someone is going to get hurt. It is obvious that Jarod still loves Miss Parker. And she loves him. Nicholas is deluding himself.
It (this story) is getting less depressing but the circles of HELL seem neverending! I feel mist sorry for Astra who is completely blameless!
But I did enjoy thus chapter and as always I really appreciate that you find the time to update your stories. Thank you!
Author's Response:
Hi, twisted. Yep, it's just a mess, isn't it? It will be over soon enough (but not nearly soon enough). These are children (prisoners) of the Centre, so the circles of hell could be infinite.
Right. I know Astra did nothing to deserve this. She's like the many children of divorced/estranged parents out there in the world. It's not their fault, but that's life. Fortunately, however, this is only fanfic. Astra will be okay. I think.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy this chapter and I'm trying to find time to update all of the fics. It's not easy.
Thank you for the R&R, as always.

Author's Response:
Hi, parkergirl101! Welcome to this lovely website and thanks for reading and reviewing. I finally updated. The pesky little cretins that attempted to attack my garden have kept me outdoors and very busy (creating a natural habitat for predators, planting natural aphid repellents, etc.), but it's given me ample time to think about the ending. Now, it's just a matter of writing.
