  • A Love Less Ordinary, Chapter 9

    From Naomi:

    “Oh my… so wrong and nasty at first, I would have never thought to have Dukat and a Starfleet goody-goody together!  You had me shuddering all through the story, up until he died actually I was like ‘this CAN’T be happening!’  But you made it intresting [sic], intriguing, and I couldn’t stop reading!  I don’t like Dukat, but you made him a little less evil in my view, and now I realize no one can be truly evil, they HAVE to have a soul on the inside.  I loved Danielle, and you actually made me MISS Dukat when he died!  SHAME ON YOU!  I’m kidding by the way, exellent [sic] story, the only way I can critique you is my mentioning that the age difference between Dukat/Dani and Will/Dani is really wrong in my view, though some people might say age is just a number.”

    (Naomi also gave “A Love Less Ordinary” a personal rating of 9.5/10!  )

    Response:

    It still always amazes me when I get reviews for my early stories.  Even when they aren’t positive, I’m awed that people actually still stumble upon them!  Naomi, thanks so much for the reflective and critical review!  This is one of those stories that I have to cringe at when I go back and read because I wrote it so long ago, and I always find so many problems with it.  I’m really glad that you got something out of it.

  • The Journal, Volume 2, Chapter 4

    From Becca3:

    “It’s so sad that you stopped writing about andrews and brynne 😦 .. I really liked this pairing and you are a really good writer..”

    Response:

    Becca3,

    Thanks a million for reading and reviewing!  I’m so glad that you enjoyed it.  The thing about “The Journal” is that it has the potential to go on and on forever, like a soap opera.  There’s so much that could be covered.  It’s tempting to want to write more stories about Andrews and Brynne, and I may very well if I get a compelling idea at some point in the future.  But it was never my intention for “The Journal” to be a comprehensive chronicle of Brynne and Andrews’ life together.  It was meant to be a snapshot of their life, to give readers a glimpse into what happened after the Titanic sank.  I’m not ruling out possible future additions to the series, but there aren’t any immediate plans for stories in the near future.

  • Introducing EF Beta-Reading

    What’s beta-reading, you ask?  All of You on Fanfiction.net already know (I hope you do, at least).  For those of you who don’t know, beta-reading is another name for proofreading.  Why it’s called beta-reading, I have no idea.  What I will say, is that it can be the difference between a great story and a merely good one, and also between a good one and one that makes you want to gouge your eyes out.  (more…)

  • Chapter 26: The End?

    “So you’re Jeremy Bratt,” Jo said. She sat across from Jeremy in the COSI cafeteria. (more…)

  • Chapter 25: My Name is Jo

    Payton was speechless, a rarity for him. The woman (or was she a girl?) stepped timidly into the room. She looked exactly like Brynne, though younger. Was this Brynne? Had she found some some way to return, albeit, younger? (more…)
