Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Oooh. Terrific!! I love Parker's snark in the loft safe house and the withered flowers and your descriptions of it and omg it's just like they were beautiful together and why why why aren't they together?  Please Mirage put them back together again. Have you not met Michael T. Weiss yet? Where is my selfie? Bah. I'm kidding with you. I think you've already met him and are keeping it secret. I won't bother you about him. I swear.  Please write more.



Author's Response:

I don't know why they aren't together, or if they'll ever be together. We shall see.

Ah, this.

Again.

No, I don't think I'll ever be bothered by your emails and reviews, all filled with adoration for the beloved actor. I completely understand that you want to seek a distraction from all of the ugliness in the world. It doesn't bother me at all. The question of whether or not I've met him, and in which city, seems to be bothering you, however. 

My lips are sealed.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Fabulous work as always Mirage. You keep the pages turning for me and I could repeat myself and talk about the perfect characterisations and transitions and all of that brilliance but I know you know what you're doing. Keep doing it. I'm hooked hard.

You still haven't got that selfie with Michael T. Weiss? Have you met him? I think you have and you are holding out. You could update his on how he's doing if you have met him recently jus sayn. I read your response to my reviews. I'm glad I don't bother you by talking about him and it's true what you wrote that it's a testement to him and his ways that I want you to meet him and that I can't shut up about him. Have you seen him lately omg!?! he looks so much older and so much different and still really totally good looking but with gray beard and gray hair and doesn't even look like Jarod much anymore.. and do you like that more or less? I know you once said you didn't like Jarod all that much, his duplicity or something and all. I'm just really curious. I'm glad you're not freaked out by him and all. and all. So yeah. keep writing.

 

Love you and your work. MORE!! NOW!!!



Author's Response:
Okay, yeah, sure, "been there, done that, holding out" is a plausible theory, after all, anonymity is lovely, and if I came here and shared all of the details (time, date, city) of an encounter with him then at least one person in this world would have the ability to potentially (hypothetically) match my scribblings/this scribbler with my face, and that's one person too many.
 
Scribbling fanfic is my dirty little secret; I don't know why I can't have a respectable normal-person dirty secret like being an avenging serial killer or having a lottery addiction, anything but this hell and shame, but, alas, scribbling fanfic is my secret sin, and I wish to absolute fuck I were joking.
 
You seem to be confusing player and character. Or something. This is a little bit weird, Lorraina (as usual).
 
No, I'm not freaked out. I don't understand why I'd be freaked out. Generally, I don't find attractive (I said what I said) people terrifying at all. In fact, I have quite a bit of experience regarding attractive people: I'm (still) in a long term relationship with Significant Person, who, incidentally, is also an attractive person.
Thanks for readng and reviewing.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazzzeiinggg you write them like they are on the show and make them sooooo real and I want morrrreeeeeee!!! After your reply to my other review I gave you I believe that I am right and you have met Michael T. Weiss and are being discreet and mean. LOVE that man! Was he like Jarod and did he look like Jarod and did he act like Jarod when you saw and met him????!

MORE!



Author's Response:
I'm discreet and mean? Thanks? 
 
Yes, I'm aware that you love him. Everyone loves him. I know this.
 
You're maybe not wrong: I will never disclose the details of any encounter, or even admit there was an encounter.
 
Was he like Jarod? Why would he be like Jarod? Why? Jarod is a character (quite a character indeed).
 
Did he look like Jarod? Oddly, my answer is yes and no. He looks nicer than Jarod. 
 
Did he act like Jarod? Sweet baby Jesus no, fortunately, and I appreciate that.

Thanks for reading and --- I know you're capable of reviewing me and not typing out that entire name. Try it.

Are you coming back? I need more. The Pretender is my favorite tv series and this story is one of the best stories I've ever read. You know I love Jarod. Oh, I love Jarod and Miss Parker. I love Michael. I'm a big fangirl. I need more. Aren't you a fan girl? Why can't you understand this addiction? I've watched these character so much on tv and I've met these actors so I pretty much know them. I need more of the fanfic because they aren't on tv anymo. Please don't stop writing. More.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Okay I love this and I'm so hooked. You are an amazing storyteller and writer and I need more. Now. Yeah this is perfect and Eli is so realitstic. Parker should be pissed at Jarod. I like how plausible it all is when you write them. Please keep writing. I mean it. Don't stop writing ever.

Oh and touche on the review response. So I wasn't really bullying meanly just playing with you about meeting the real Jarod so I'm glad you're not angry and you don't take things seriously. But now I see that it's my fault that I haven't introduced you to Michael T. Weiss.... I see what you did there and I like it. You probably didn't expect this but now I will have to fix my mistake by totally introducing you two because he is so damn wonderful and I know you will freaking love him...I can even take you out partying and get you drunk first or get a beta blocker... some of his fans get woozy and too excited. This one girl I knew was so freaked out nervous it was 2 cute. She was terrified lol. But he's soooo nice. He's really so nice. The nicest ever. He really puts women at ease and he really put his arm around me and everything for my selfie with him. Hot. You'll lvoe it. It's sooooo exciting. Every fan who writes fan fic for the Pretender HAS to meet him. You HAVE to do it. I sent you an email.

It seemed the deal was you update if we keep your writing on the downlow but if you holding back we get to share.... and

why don't you want to be shared?? Are you ashamed of your writing that we love?? let us share u everywhere with everyone!!!

MORE!!!



Author's Response:

No, it isn't necessary to extort anyone. What happens in Missing Pieces SHOULD stay in Missing Pieces. If I wanted the scribblings posted to twitter I could probably figure out how to do that, but I don't. I didn't make a deal with anyone. Thanks.

Title: Chapter 1: Refuge in Reverie

GOD!!!! I LOVE THIS! Give me the Mirarchives. I have a birthday coming up in 2019.  Oh, honey you blow me so away!

Do you still not have a selfie with Michael T??!! No autograph?!!

I still think you should get a crush on Michael T you know because it would be a new perspective and so cute of you and awww. Just a teeny little bitty crush on him. He's really sweet. You'd like him. I had a real nice close up to him selfie like I tried not to get all over him but I still probably freaked him out cos I'm so into him. But I get what you're saying about not disrupting his life and all. I'm sorry. I can't really talk about anything else but him. I see him when you write and he's the only Jarod so it's your fault. But don't stop writing. I need mores. I thought fo sure you'd take the dare and prove you like him and everything by getting the autograph and a really cute pic with him. You should!!! You should go crazy with it!!



Author's Response:
Christ, Lorraina, that escalated rapidly. I like all of The Pretender family (admit it: you're thinking of incest now) (you're welcome); "all" means I like himmm although not the way you, evidently, like him.

I'm not judging you. Extend me the same courtesy; don't judge me simply because it isn't necessary for me to meet someone and "get all over" them (with or without their consent) to appreciate their humanity, art, etc. It would be rather fucked up (and puerile) of me to meet him (or anyone) on a dare. This is a human you're talking about and you know that; you were close enough to confirm it. If you consider this, rationally, for a few moments, I'm sure you'll agree.

In the future please limit your reviews to my scribblings and Brootster & gang if you want me to respond to them.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Now THAT is how it's done!
You are a wordsmith and that's why I feel this so deeply and see it all so clearly. My heart... oh Mirage.
You are good, girl!!!
I do want to check in 2 and see are you ok after all of this darkness. I know you probably get asked this alot but you write alot of darkness. You and Stephen King.. I'd like to pull you both aside and ask you all about your childhoods. I want to know where this horror you write comes from... somewhere dark. Stephen King is an alcoholic.
What about you?
I worrry about you. I hope your childhood was happy and perfect. I totally worry.
Now where is my selfie pic of you and Michael T. Weiss? I hope it's ok that I torment him about you. I love him so much and you have to talk to him. He's so fun to get to know. I want to show him your writing too ..this one mostly and show him how much his Jarod persona is devastated in this story. It's so devastating! MORE!!!


Author's Response:
Oh, fuck. Please tell me that you intended to type "torment you about him" and not the awful thing you typed.
Don't torment the talent, Lorraina.

Torment ME instead. Yes, I know you love him. Hell, everyone loves him, but what happens at Missing Pieces stays at Missing Pieces, and because I only use this name here at Missing Pieces you should absolutely never utter this name aloud to anyone (you certainly shouldn't show this to anyone) because it could trigger the apocalypse and isn't there a law against tormenting actors?

The "horror" comes from The Pretender. No, really. The premise of the series involves child abduction and exploitation, and, hell, that's just the intro.

Next stop: forced impregnation, forced gestation, and birthing-tables-with-fucking-shackles oh my!
You're evidently worried about the wrong person. Ahem.

I didn't create this series.
Birthing tables, Lorraina, with fucking shackles.

My childhood? Is everyone shrinkJarod now? Because that would be hell (just like my childhood). 

Stephen King is a joy, isn't he? I have all of his books, kindle copies of his books, would love to write something with him, and this is how I "fangirl", by the way: I'd love to write/act/sing/play with that author/actor/singer/band.

What about me? Are you asking if I'm an alcoholic? Seriously? I'm almost strictly a glass-of-wine-with-dinner-occasionally person, and I don't have a problem with that at all.

I never get tired of reading you!!  You're not formulaic or pigeonholed and you branch out to genrebending and you love taking chances and pushing boundaries which is really what writing is about. That and having something else to say, something that means something, something to take away and learn and you always provide that depth so it's not just entertaining it's also important. There is beauty. You also are obviously educated and open minded and you nail the grammar and know how to transition and keep me hanging on in my chair. I hope you will always write for the fanmily.

You should know that if you don't already. He's so cute. You still don't have the selfie do you? You HAVE to do a selfie with Michael and get all close and stuff. You have to show us the SELFIE with him! Please. We'll know who you are then! I want to know more about you...and a pic of him is ALWAYS a wondreful amazing freaking thing. He's beautiful.

You also have to write more for us NOW!

Title: Chapter 1: Justice

Oh ohhh. Wows. Mirage, this is brilliant. Are you sure you're not a Jarod fangirl? So I love the title and how it means without one thing another thing can't exist, so it means essential. Melissa destroying the tape keeps Jarod off the cop's radar. She makes it so he can continue bringing justice to others. Wow. That's crazy profound. They don't know he had that rapist in a bathtub. And oh, that rapist was under for a little while and being phobic like that would make it harder for him and he was panicking omg this is completely plausible. People do go under water and then walk away and seem fine and then a few hours later... oh, at the rapist's age with those symptoms a doctor would think heart attack. Even if they thought drowning they couldn't blame Jarod without that tape. I think it's also essential that the rapist die. He raped her twice. He wasn't sorry. He was still being smug in the tub. That's one person that Jarod should have killed. So did Jraod mean for this to happen. I know he seems upset, and he stammers. So maybe he didn't mean for the rapist to die. I liked the summary finished business as the episode was risque business and I like the justice parts. Ohh. I love it. Spectacularly done as always. Smooches to you. PLEASE UPDATE OBLIVION AND DON'T FORGET THE RETURN THAT YOU HAVENN'T UPDATED IN MONTHS!!! How do you write a story this brilliant with only 82 words?  omg. amazing.



Author's Response:

(I just accidentally put this in a review-to-self instead of here in the response box where it belongs, and now I feel sixty percent more incompetent than usual). Let's try this again:

Smooches right back atcha. No. No, no, no, of course not. Jarod wouldn't kill anyone intentionally. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Wow, Lorraina, y'know, I realize that I'm not "superfangirl" or whatever.

I'm also not a shallow, fickle dick. I'm also not entitled to comment on someone's body, appearance, etc, and I'm absolutely not here for ableist, ageist, sexist, etc, etc, bullshit.

And, no, I didn't "anything" him during any (hypothetical) encounter. That doesn't even sound remotely consensual.
