2/22/10- I've been a huge fan of the Pretender since the beginning, and wrote a lot of my fanfics while it was airing. Then I got busy with college and working, and it sadly fell by the wayside. I've had a few favorite shows since the Pretender (namely Alias, Smallville, Dollhouse, and Lost Girl), but none that affected me so strongly that I wrote fics for them. I did write 2 for The Lost World, but that's it. The Pretender is just special, I guess.
I recently got all 4 seasons and the 2 movies on DVD, and watched them all within less than a month! =) It's safe to say my Pretender obsession is back stronger than ever, and rewatching it all definately inspired me to pick up the pen again... currently working on another story (and probably more) for the Cooking with Madeline series, continuing where we left off in season 3 (with a brief jump back to season 2 for a Toy Surprise- inspired part). And with any luck, I'll finish another story or two I had plans for, but never got around to finishing outside of my overactive little head. My favorite characters are Miss Parker, Angelo, and Thomas... originally, Mr Lyle was my absolute favorite but rewatching it all now, it's hard to see past all his evil like I could back when it was spread out over a couple of seasons. LOL
I like to write my fics while listening to the Pretender soundtrack, along with a couple other songs that remind me of the Pretender... like Broots' P-Funk. =)
Then I was a student, now I'm a 30something chef with 2 cats I'm crazy about. It's a crazy job but I love it. I'm a total night owl. I was so psyched when I found this site and realized all my stories are still around, as well as many of the authors I knew way back when. I'm slowly getting caught up on all the great new fics and authors here, as well as exploring all the other great pieces of the PretenderCentre.
If anyone's interested in being my beta reader, please let me know. I'll be happy to be yours, too.
6/27/13- and I'm back, yet again! Ran across the #ThePretenderLives tag on twitter and hearing that Craig and Steve have something new Pretender-related in the works brought my Pretender obsession back with the biggest vengeance! And I'm really hoping that it'll be the push I need to actually finish the Madeline series once and for all. *hangs head*
Feel free to find me on twitter- @DoccubusDani or tumblr- http://MissParkersBunny.tumblr.com/ I post a lot about Lost Girl, Orphan Black, The Fosters, and the Pretender, of course. :) And when if you do, feel free to bug me about finishing the series. :)
Cute little scene. =) I like getting into young Miss P's head about sneaking around the sublevels, and the Snow White analogy.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedThat dream was how the scene at Ocee's should have been! =) I look forward to seeing what the rest of the series has in store.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedGreat portrait of Miss Parker! I love the glimpse into the past of her sneaking in to the cottage and then how she came to live there. So sad, and probably so true, her feelings about it after Tommy's murder!
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedI'm glad for the happy ending. =) It made a very good bedtime story!
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedI lurve the fact that Jarod threw the snowballs at Miss P! :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedI keep saying I'm going to stop after this chapter and go to bed cuz it's after 2am, but I can't cuz it's soooo good! Poor Jarod- OMG.
One thing, though, in the disclaimer, you spell Centre wrong. :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedWay to go, Broots! Also, Angelo <3 I feel good going to bed now, to continue tomorrow. :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedYay, Jarod's gonna be ok! :)
I love Angelo enjoying the rain. <3
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedAww, this chapter made this JMP shipper so happy <3
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed<3 Fantastic, fantastic story all around! :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedGreat story! I loved Miss P and Jarod's interactions, but even better was what they were really thinking. =) Very nice.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedSoooo sad, but I'm glad he took down the Centre in the end. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed"Below ground? That didn’t make any sense. Buildings didn’t go underneath the world. They went on top. Up towards the sky. He might only be a kid, but even dumb kids knew that."
LMAO- totally loving this story. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed*sniff sniff* So sad. But so beautifully written.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedBeautifully done. I don't know that Timmy's story could be told any better than this.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedLove your portrayal of Broots- spot on! "Mr Raines, Mr Lyle, even Miss Parker just didn’t understand that you don’t just type in the word Jarod, and poof, two minutes later the computer obediently spat out where their errant Pretender might be. Everybody wants everything yesterday. It wasn’t as if he really wanted the man caught, he just wanted everybody off his case."
Lyle is great, too- I find I'm kind of rooting for him again. LOL
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedMiss Parker's struggles since the revelations of IOTH are played out very well from both sides. Actually, everyone's emotions are described very well and accurately. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedI'm glad Miss Parker finally came around. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed"Sydney finally broke the ice, trying to sound cheery. Jarod smiled wryly at the thought that this was Sydney’s first “pretend”. He wasn’t very good." <---- hehe- It's too bad Jarod has no clue Syd and Parker are trying to help him, though.
Still oddly feeling compassion for Lyle.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signedhehehe =)
Author's Response: Aw, you remember this one...my first venture into the dark and addictive world of fan fic! Of course Life has never been the same since! Yeah, you should be laughing, you are just as bad as I am!
Enjoyed reading this again- super sweet! =) And I remember Jon- is he still around?
Author's Response: This story probably wouldn't have made it to the fan fic forums if it weren't for you and Yip who gave me so much support. If you remember, I got flames for this one! I think this one really pissed off a lot of 'shippers and they let me know it! Thanks again Danielle :) for being there!
Yeah, those 'shippers are a loyal lot! (Is it weird I'm replying to your response of my first review? lol) I know "Total Eclipse" got me some pissed off 'shippers, too- it had nothing to do with the fact that MP's love interest was a woman- anyone besides Jarod was just wrong!
Author's Response: Oh so true! People hate change don't they! ;) But some times it's good to shake things up!
Aww, super sweet story! I love the addition of Melanie, and the fairy tale- Lord Broots and Techville- hehe =)
Thanks for sharing such a great bedtime story- I'll go to sleep all warm and fuzzy now. =)
