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. :)
CentreJarod locates Angelo's family. But they have secrets of their own. *AND DONE*
"Seriously, two years out and you've never watched Star Trek?"
You'd think Jarod would totally be into Star Trek!
Hey, at least he'd heard of it ;-)
I was originally going to put in this whole bit about Annalise making Jarod read classic SF books to round out his education (the "esper" in the title is from a famous Alfred Bester novel from the 50s), but it didn't quite work in the story.

Nice job- poor MTW/Jarod- I hope you guys aren't pulling a me and leaving us hanging forever and a year waiting for the conclusion. ;)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedJarod escapes from the Centre in 1979 and goes in search of his only friend out in the world.
Loving it so far. :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedLoved it! :) I hope Jarod stays with them til the West Coast! :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signedlmao- what a greeting! Can't wait to see the rest of their reunion. :)
Thanks! Next chapter - Miss Parker's point of view!
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedGreat job again. :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedSydney acquires a new project. The Centre has other uses in mind for her.
Good decision, Syd. :)
I didn't really plan out the Sydney-Jarod relationship before I started writing the story, but it turned out that syd was basically always right, or at least accurate when it come to Jarod, and yet their relationship is subtly falling apart. There are some things that just cannot be honestly said while you are always being observed.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedNo Miss Parker, but still a very good story. ;) It's a nice alternative to why Jarod would have finally wanted to escape.
Okay, okay, I'll work on "To Be Free!" It'll be shipper-tastic, I promise! ;-)
Thanks so much for your comments Danielle :-)

Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedTwo lonely little boys reach out to each other.
Aww, that's so sweet! <3 And I really liked your view into life as Angelo. :)
Merry #CentreXmas :)
It's the first Christmas without her father and Miss Parker is relunctant to celebrate...until Jarod brings the holiday spirit to her.
That's a good first name. :) Very sweet story!
Merry #CentreXmas :)
