Author: I write a little bit of everything really. Some angst, some comedy, some neither. Basically what I'm in the mood for. I haven't written all that much lately, but I do have a couple of stories planned...
Beta: I also do a bit of beta work and find it thoroughly enjoyable. So if you need a beta, just give me a poke and I'll see what I can do. (Strong points: characterization, plotting, rewording etc. Weaker points: grammar and other rule bound things. )
Reviewer: I try to review everything I read, because I really do believe communication is what makes this fandom not just shrivel up and die. Feedback is especially important in a fandom as small as ours. Not only is it important to encourage the authors, and one review really makes a lot of difference. As an extra boost for all you budding reviewers here, since it is such a small fandom you have a real chance of influencing the future plot of the story by making suggestions of what you'd like see happen (or if it's an already completed story: The writer's next story).
But it is a two way street. Like a reader has a responsibility to write a review, the author has a responsibility to reply.) If you don't, how is the reviewer supposed to know someone appreciate it, or even read it?
Reader: I will read (and enjoy) pretty much everything. From angst to comedy to all that is in between. I don't care who (or what, this is the Pretender after all...) you ship, if you're a fan of happy endings or not. If it's Pretender, I would probably love to read it, if I haven't already.
And no, I'm never brief .
Truely great story (though I mut say I prefered the first ending)
Reviewer: Manoline SignedLovely writing, beautiful story
Cute little piece. And very much something I could see happen in the real deal
Reviewer: Manoline SignedExactly what I'd imagine Jarod would do if something like that happened. Nice and peaceful moment in all the drama.
Reviewer: Manoline Signed*laughs* Very cute. Doctor Who, right?
Reviewer: Manoline SignedWhat I really like about your stories is that although they are all rather short (but then again so are most of mine) they are all very much in character and fits with the universe of which The Pretender resides. And they leave the reader wanting more, and making up the next scene, and perhaps even the next after that.
So keep up the good work.

In many ways I always think Miss Parker had the so called "ice queen" in her long before her mother died (being raised the way she was) but I suppose the death sort of speeded up the process, so I can understand your point of view too.
Other than that, yet another great piece. You do those short ones very well
Reviewer: Manoline Signed
Beautiful piece, you captured the silence of night very well.
And I knew I'd read the "big strong hands"-thing somewhere else, thanks for clarifying, saves me a lot of frustration ;)
Incredible piece. It seems very much like something Jarod would think, and even more so by the wonderful way you wrote it.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedOh this was very good!
You did a great job telling the story from Angelo's point of view.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedBeautiful piece. Fits very nicely as something Cathrine would do, and very well written
Reviewer: Manoline SignedWow
I mean...wow
Such a fresh and creative way to write. It's incredibly good. I love how you vary the way you tell the plot throughout the story, yet manage to keep it completely nonconfusing and move the plot forward.
Incredible
The description of how they meet is just incredible. And it ending the way it has to in a way. But that in a way being what they needed to get closure...love it
Reviewer: Manoline SignedSweet little piece. Although I'm not really big on the shipping it's nice to read a happy ending for once
Reviewer: Manoline SignedI think you did great with this story, and the fact that it was a translation on top of that makes it even more impressive.
And the way you wrote the cat/rat-chase is a great metaphor for Miss Parker and Jarod.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedI like how you didn't narrow down who this is. This can be pretty much everyone from the show.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedVery good way of beginning a prequel *hint hint*.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedReally like this piece. Nice for Parker to get a realistic, but happy ending for once.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedLeaves the reader wanting more, which is always good
Reviewer: Manoline SignedVery nice piece, I think you summed up the essentials of the whole Jarod/Zoe-thing quite nicely. And on top of that it's written very well.
Reviewer: Manoline SignedNice moment. Ok maybe 'nice' is the wrong word.
Lyle is very....Lyle I guess. Completely creeps me out, but then again that's the point.
Oh and took the liberty of exploiting my admin powers and fixing the link in the end, hope you don't mind.
Her reaction sounds very accurate to me, exactly what I'd expect her to say. Because really, the only reason they can have any kind of relationship is if they never realize it, and even if they do, you never say it. That's breaking the code man! Well, actually that's exactly what it is.
Oh well I'll stop rambling now. Truly great piece. Both true, and beautifully written. Wonder if I guessed the characters right...
Very interesting way to sum up Miss Parker's feelings of despair. I like it
Reviewer: Manoline SignedI really like the last line; Her life was hell. But the moment she closed her eyes forever, it felt like heaven.
I hope to read more of your work in the future
Reviewer: Manoline SignedI know I'm a little behind, but I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this story. Gut wrenching, soul tearing, beautifully written. *Moves right along to sequel*
