Bio:

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 .

Title: Chapter 1: chapter 1

What 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.

Title: Chapter 1: -

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

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.

I 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.

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.
