Checking in. I do hope you'll update soon or write anything.
Mostly and of immediacy, I hope you'll check in too. I recall that you were in the path of Hurricane Michael. I don't know where you are in the world. I think you're from outside of the United States but I've heard that you are in a long term relationship with a U.S. Marine. You are a woman. He is a man. You're straight. You must travel back and forth between homes and bases?? My point is that I'm worried that you were or ARE in Helene's path. You have so much going on already and your partner is disabled as a result of his service. You have something wrong with your jaw? I hope you're healthy as can be. I hope everything is well. Let someone know something. You have no social media... I'm worried.
Until you respond, I wish you and yours well. I miss you. Please be well.
Ciao!

I meant to ask about self-insertions in fanfic, too. What is your opinion on all of it?
Reviewer: Angela Penn Signed [Report This]Date: 25/09/24 08:51 pm
Ohh. You left Twitter? Apparently years and years ago? You are hard to find. I love your work.. LOVE everything about your writing ! I have a question. I want to write but my story might have Mary sue elements. How do you feel personally about Mary Sue fiction or in fanfic? I value your writing and value you as a person.. you are always kind to me in review responses and I know you've been there for some of us when you were needed..I value your input.
Please be honest duh you always seem honest and hold nothing back.
I hope to see you back posting when you are able to. Caretaking for disabled loved one can be hard and keep you busy and your mental health and self care is so so important too .
I'm thinking of you.

Author's Response:
I had to do some homework when I read your review. I've been away for a little while.
I'll preface this response with I abhor violence, and I particularly abhor sexual violence and sexual violence perpetrators aka "grabbers" and their enablers and supporters.
The avowed and adjudicated rapist has been perpetrating and perpetuating violence and hateful rhetoric for decades, and that hasn't changed simply because the violence he spawned returned to graze him "like a boomerang, only you don't throw it."
I'm relieved that no innocent person was harmed. I don't have any other thoughts, really; I'm entirely indifferent to this.
And I won't be gaslit into caring about, or unifying with that rapist (or his enablers and supporters), just as I wouldn't unite with—and wasn't taught to care about—the Mengeles, Dahmers, Hitlers, etc of the world.
I didn't know it happened, and it has had zero impact on my life; that's how little significance he has.
Little is woefully inaccurate. I don't care at all about the rapist, and I don't care if that's politically incorrect, woke, wrong, amoral, abnormal, a sin, or whatever.
My thoughts and compassion are for genuine victims and survivors, the truly innocent. E. Jean Carroll, Mrs. Giffords, the Parkland students, Sandy Hook students and their families, etc. etc. I care about them. And I care about Gus. I have to mention Gus. Gus is amazing.

I read your response to my review of RUPTURE and you're right. This is THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA of fandoms. I will never leave. I'll just check out. It's good to have your company fellow guest. You young folks keep me young in many ways. You certainly grip my attention and hold fast to it.
This new story is a holy smokes on fire one already. Plausible, accurate characterizations, intelligent dialogue, remarkable descriptive work, lyrical prose, tension, action, adventure. You have it all. I look forward to chapter two!

I began this and starting shaking with excitement and anticipation so I understand Parker's reactions just fine. I've read it 3 times already and it's phenomenal Mirage. I've seen those kinds of dry and parched lands in person and you put me right back there with your descriptions. I'm more of an urban gal now, but there was some beauty back in the rural areas too. You never hold back on us and I'm grateful for that. Thank you. Congratulations on this. I love it already. It hit me right in the Pretender feels.

Reviewer: Jillian Signed [Report This]Date: 01/07/24 11:03 pm
Holy fucking goddesses! A brand new Mirage story to get me hotter during this heat wave. Baby I am SOOOOOO here for this. Jarod did it. Mind you, he did it with Catherine's help but he.. it seems he got through to her. I hope so.
I know how you are. You never do what I think you will do so I won't be shook if Miss Parker is peeling tires in a cloud of dust that chokes Jarod to death and she never looks back. But I hope she doesn't. Mind you either choice is in character for Miss Parker. I hope she listens to her mum this time.
More please? I love it. The characters are spot on like they always are when you write them and the plot is intriguing and original. The setting is HOT as expected. I can tell you think a lot about climate change because you're always describing nature and sometimes it's nature is dying, dead, and nast-AY.
I love it all. This is art for me.

Yes! 🙌 The first chapter is like watching the episodes where Jarod and Miss parker interact. That same electricity ⚡ in the air the ” the ’ the 🎇 🎆 I'm too excited.
You capture them, the series, the tension perfectly and you make it insanely hard to be patient.

Hey-ya. A new mirage story! Sign me up! I love this first chapter and it has me so excited!😆
Jarod is standing in light wearing white and Catherine is telling Parker Jarod is the one ... Thomas told Parker to trust Jarod too! Catherine told Ethan that Jarod is the one... OMG
!
!
Are you going to be diving into all of that, the mythology of it all, the inner sense?
I'm going to be reading whatever you write but can't lie girl I'm so freaking excited about this! I'm anxious and shaking 🫨 with excitement and so 😁 happy about this!

Hey there again already I'm so happy and I'm so surprised. This is thrilling already. My God I'm in love with your spot on characterizations. I hear all of the dialouge in THEIR voices when I read you. I was coming here to read Cirlces Of Hell again and bam, new story has begun. I'm so excited for this. It's so hot out there that I'm sweating. Miss Parker is shuddering in the heat though. Warring with herself and her mom that way.. and havnig the inner sense, all of that and going against her father's warnings about Jarod... plus the feelings they have for each other. I'm shuddering now too. More. More. Please. Take care of yourself too. You are loved my friend.
Reviewer: Contessa Signed [Report This]Date: 28/06/24 05:56 pm
Bravo! You continue to fascinate me young lady and I'm not easily fascinated. Your characterizations will always be the most stunning aspect of your abilities, along with character placement, descriptive work, dialog, and transition work. Who am I kidding here? Everything about your writing reaches in and grabs.
You know exactly what you're doing, and I hope you'll continue doing it.
I'm grateful for all you've written, and looking forward to more.
As always.
Until next time.

*whistles* This is a solid first chapter. Does it feel awkward for you to write them so in character? They are scarily, eerily, uncomfortably, spot on themselves. How do you do that? Top shelf as always. I pray you'll keep writing.
Reviewer: richie Signed [Report This]Date: 27/06/24 05:32 am
This is a pleasant and exciting surprise. You just completed one series, are writing a second one at the moment, still working on several other brilliant stories and I'm amazed if I'm able to write a review lol. You bring quantity AND quality. You're a virtuoso, a Pretender in your own right. I hope you'll continue to update and add more stories. I love them all.
