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. :)

A love story...my way. ;-) Read and review please
I may like Lyle a whole lot, but I'm glad he died here. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedAww, I have hope that Jarod will be ok now. =) I hope your betas work fast!
Author's Response: I've overworked my beta. ;-) She's hard at work so hopefully soon I'll be able to update. Thanks for your reviews. Greatly appreciated.
Miss Parker catches up with Jarod.
Awww, mean Miss Parker! =(
But very well written. =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedThat was a great little story! I'd love to see more of Broots and this techie together.
And I'm so proud I figured out the coded message before the techie did (before I read the next paragraphs)! =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed
Cute story. Always nice to see what they think of us. ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes it was fun to write. And it is good to have you back with us Danielle!
Sooo heartbreaking that Miss P found Jarod just like Thomas! *sniff sniff* I had wanted just a chapter to read before bed, but now it looks like I may be here a while! ;)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedVery enjoyable read. Glad for a happy ending. =)
Author's Response: I'm glad the ending was to your satisfactory!
Aww, nicely done. =) Poor Jarod!!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! it is one of my favorites, of course I have several but this story just popped up on it's own and I had to write! You know. it was one of those 'gifts' from my fan fic muse that just had to be! Sadly my fan fic muse seems to have taken a vacation! (sigh)
That was cute. =) Why did Jarod want Debbie to be his daughter, though?
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedVery funny story! =)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedLOL- it fits Broots perfectly! Something I can totally see happening to him. Poor guy- I actually thought he was gonna get his flirt on. =)
Nicely written. =) It's very good characterization, too. =)
I look forward to reading more of your work, but it's 2:20am and I need to get to bed for now.
Hi Danielle!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
Have a great day.
Anna
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed
Lovely story! That last scene was heart-wrenching, though! *sniff sniff*
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedLMAO- too funny! =)
Author's Response: Hey! Thanks again and you're more then welcome to pick up and continue. of course I also expect more of Madeline! (opps! I know I spelt that wrong but you know what I mean!)
Madeline... that's right. Yeah, it is. I had to stop and think about it lol It's almost 2am, I need to get to bed! I've been staying up way too late the past month or so, first watching the Pretender, then reading fics and working on more of my own. =) Hopefully the 10 year lapse in writing hasn't changed my writing style or my character portrayals too much, and the new parts will mesh with everything else. =)
I've gotta catch up on the rest of yours, too. =) (I think I'm more smiley now than before lol)
Best chapter so far! I love how Jarod and Parker's relationship is progressing. =) As much as I liked Parker and Thomas together, and I kinda liked Zoe, too, (and I think you captured her really well throughout the earlier parts of the story) there's just no denying that Miss Parker and Jarod were meant to be together.
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed Amazing story! So rich and full of detail. I can't wait for the second part (or hopefully it's already up so I don't have to wait!, will have to check your profile).
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace Signed Aww, loved that ending! :) Can't stop reading this series! :)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedAww, I thought it was Jarod's mom at first, although the snug jeans thing should've given it away that it wasn't! ;)
Reviewer: Danielle SmileyFace SignedLOVED the Miss P-Broots reunion! :)
