Okay, okay, I'd like updates on this one too. My favorites remain "It Was Only Time" and "Same Time, Next Year", but I do like this too--especially the revamped Pink Posse.

I'm so happy to see that you are writting again, you're one of the best bj writers and I love your stories.
Please keep on with this fic, it has such a different start - including getting rid of the ghastly father (I have forgotten his name ... it happens when I can't stand someone). Anyway I know I'm not the only one waiting, panting for the next chapters.
Lots of love from Jacky M

Thanks for the chapter and thanks for the story. I like it! When I
went to Philadelphia, the first thing I went to see was the Liberty Bell,
and the second thing was the Rocky Statue. At least that is what I
called it. Even though they moved it to a location different from what
we see in the movie, it still was a special experience.
It looks like I am really going to enjoy this story -- people
working hard to accomplish, to over come, or events like that are
meaningful to me. So yes, I would like this story continued. In fact, I
am looking forward to it.

oh my, I was rivited by Wildcat Jen! LOVED IT! Loved the whole chapter too Great Job! how can you say you are unsure you should continue with this storyÉÉ (those are question marks for some reason) This is better than sausage wrapped in bacon!!! (And that`s pretty good! Well, if not terribly terribly fattening! :(
Author's Response: There's almost nothing better than bacon wrapped food, so your compliment is fantastic! Thank you! I am so happy you liked this more assertive Jen. As for my uncertainly, I wrote those few chapters almost on the fly and then ran out of steam. I was somewhat unsure of how to finish the story and then RL took precedence and this was put on the 10th back-burner. I feel like I can finish it now, though. I have a couple of good ideas as to where to take this story, so I hope that I'll actually complete it before my creativity peters out again (knock on wood!).
Thank you for reading!
Cheers,
Vin

“So Rocky is running up those steps towards his brand of artistry.”
I love this Cody and his symbolisms and I’m happy to see an update from you. Now I have to go back and re-read what went on before, LOL. It’s been a while.
Author's Response: Yes, it has been quite a long time, hasn't it. I am sorry for such a long delay, but I feel like I have a second wind, or something. Creative juices are bubbling again, so I hope to continue this and my other unfinished stories in the near future.
Thank you for reading and re-reading! Makes me feel great about writing again.

This was your best chapter. Your Soap Opera medicine is pretty good, a lot better than QAF medicine as far I can see. At least it sounds better. I never liked neurology.
I was looking for indication of the quote and could not find it.
Loved Cody Bell in this. And you were so right in writing this. It is so different from your other stories. I thoroughly enjoyed these chapters, so nice to get away from the angst now and then.
Okay, where's the rest of this? And I mean the updates for the rest of the stories too. I love this excursion away from the angst but I would like to know how Brian and Justin are faring in London and what about that standing date they have every year? But I don't want you to feel guilty about them.
Oh well, maybe a little. :)

I just love stories that show what an asshole Craig Taylor is and what a great mother Jennifer is! Maybe you'll be able to improve my opinion of Cody Bell with this story...
Author's Response: Oh, thank you. I enjoy similar stories very much myself. As for Cody, he isn't the homicidal maniac he was on the show, though he's still a bit of an ass. So, I hope you'll like my Cody.

Hey, Vin! Finally sat down to read your newest story. I thought initially it was mainly going to be humor, but I soon found out after the first chapter that it wasn't just going to be some light piece. And it's not just going to be all that short, is it? I feel your pain - ha! Good luck not going crazy - been there, done that! LOL!
As always I'm amazed with your creativity. Looking forward to seeing where you take this, my friend. Back to work tomorrow - yuck! Take care. *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Key Kim! Thanks for checking this out and leaving a review - it means a lot to me.
Yeah, this one started out as humor and I originally thought it would be some fluff-piece, but it somehow changed on me. The change in tonality is a drastic one, I totally agree, but that's kind of how it came about. I'm mostly free-writing it and just putting down whatever ideas come to mind unfiltered - I have no plan for the direction of this fic whatsoever. Well, other than B/J's eventual meeting in Japan for the competition. I have no clue how many chapters it'll take or how it'll turn out in the end. This one is more or less an experiment in free-writing for me. So, we'll see. But I truly, truly appreciate your compliment about my creativity. It does my ego good. LOL!
Good luck at work tomorrow. I wish you a room full of excellent and eager students! :)
Cheers,
Vin

The things I loved about this chapter:
1. Justin threatened to sue the school.
2. Justin faught 5 football players and held his own.
3. Security cameras (why didn't anyone else think of that).
4. Jennifer slapping Craig and then later calling her lawyer.
5. I am using a lovely device called SOAP [opera] MEDICINE. LMAO!!!
Please continue the story and use all the SOAP MEDICINE you want. I think it even makes it more interesting. You're not writing an episode of ER. I tired of that show quickly anyway and I'm a medical professional.
Author's Response: I'm a medical professional.
So, that's why you get no sleep... It all makes sense! I bow down in deep respect to those who work in the medical field and to those who teach, because there is NO WAY I would be able to do something like that. So, three cheers to you and loud applause everywhere! Seriously, I mean it.
As for ER, I used to watch that show religiously up until George Cloonie left. After that I watched more sporadically, but completely quit when Sherry Stringfield left. I have no clue what happened on that show afterword, but I hear they sometimes saved sick people. LOL!
Re: Chapter. I am glad you liked it, even though the tone of the story drastically changed on me from Ch 1 to Ch 2. It was a bit of a pendulum shift from humor to death/destruction, so I am glad it didn't turn off people from the story. Yeah, Justin fighting 5 football players and holding his own is a complete fantasy - I very much doubt that one person without some serious martial arts or combat training would be able to do that, but ...hey, it's fanfiction and in this story Justin is a total badass. I hope. LOL!
My idea of Jennifer is kind of the same - a bit of a badass that would do anything to protect her son.
And I seriously wouldn't be able to write anything medically related without some SOAP MEDICINE. Which is why I only EDIT stuff at work, not write it (I work for a Health IT company). Well, I have written stuff for work, but none of it was medically related, thank God!
Anyway, I'm so happy that you like it so far. Chapter 3 is about half way done and should be posted a bit later today.
Cheers,
Vin

Whew, after the horrible things Justin’s been through because of Hobbs it is good to hear his condition is improving. Jennifer is awesome. Her handling of Craig was excellent. Does my vengeful heart good!

Came back and saw this chapter. Thank you! Soap medicine is the best kind! People have been known to come back from the dead several times, too! (DOOL, I'm talking about you!)
This is the kind of Jennifer I like to see. If only she had done this in canon. Ah, well.
Author's Response: You came back! Yay! Yes, I sometimes wish that Soap Medicine was real medicine... Oh, well! I guess we'll have to cure cancer, AIDS, malaria and a host of other diseases the old fashioned way - by a long, hard, expensive process of research, study and trial. The DOOL comment was spot on, by the way. I used to watch that soap in high school. The less is said about that the better. LOL!
Regarding Jennifer, I totally agree with you. To be fair, she DID try in canon, but I think that CowLip and Co should have made her a bit more effective and a bit stronger as a character. Althought she tried, I agree that she didn't stand up for Justin enough. Which is one of the reasons why I wanted the Jennifer in this story to be like a tigress looking after her cub and to have more power behind her.
Glad you liked it.
Cheers,
Vin

Well. I guess I was wrong in my deduction. will wait and see and not make any more guesses on this one.
Author's Response: Hi, Linda! I'm sorry your guess happened to be wrong. I actually kind of like your idea! I like it a lot actually - it probably would have made for a more exciting story. But by the time I read it I already had chapter 2 locked down. So, please, if you have other ideas - PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO SHARE THEM! they very well be much better than mine! But, we'll see what happens next.

Craig is a a-class bastard who doesn't deserve to even breath the same air as the rest of us normal human beings. Jennifer definitely had the right idea divorcing his ass and I'm glad Justin's condition is taking a turn for the better.
