What happened to the last two chapters?!



Author's Response:

Please check the update in the summary. Next chapter and general overhaul in progress. Thanx for your patience.

Your probably sick of fearing this, but i can't help it. I love the mix of fairyland and the"real" world. Such as the boys thinking about the money they will get for selling their eggs. Fairy eggs used for such unfairy thing as paying off a house or getting out of debt.

Love how Jack's attempt to steal from " Wizard of Oz" was lost on no one.

But why did thr two fairy realms have to be forever separated? I feel a little sad about this.

But what's even sadder is that even here in fairytail land, they still haven't found a cure for AIDS.



Author's Response:

Yes! I'm glad you liked the Wizard of Oz thing! That makes me happy :) The fairy tale realms had to be separated and Stockwell punished because he was abusing them.  Also I never want to see that factory or the bowels there in ever again LOL.

As for AIDS, well I did address that issue or at least an allegory of said illness in Cinderella and did cure it there. I don't want to be redundant. However....the story ain't over yet hon....wink! Anything can happen!

*Danses around joyfully* I'm all caught up on your story! Hoorah! TAG



Author's Response:

Glad you're all caught up. So...Did YOU like the Wiz of Oz themed scene? No-one's saying anything! Sniffle Sniffle!...

Yay for Jack not being dead! Yay for sexy Kevlar catsuits! Yay for not being of English decent! Yay for golden goose eggs! Yay that Stockwell's gonna have to slave away for the giant for the rest of his lie! Just, yay, in general, I guess! TAG

Noooooo, not poor brave Jack! Please say the harp can save him. Or, maybe Moose is a world renowned surgeon, OR maybe it was all a dream. Anything, just save out Jack! TAG



Author's Response:

Not much to say here since you know how it turns out.

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: May 23, 2013 01:28 PM · On: The Harp

Oh, how can you be so cruel, so patently evil, bordering on Satanic even. Only a truly evil person could dream up such terrible torture:

"It's the series finale episode of Queer as Folk! And it`s stuck on an endless loop!"

*Arghhhhhh* Reader runs screaming away from such gruesome torture - and on into the next chapter. TAG



Author's Response:

THANK You! You are the only reviewer yet to address that elephant in the room! Glad it made such an impact on you. Bwa hahaha! <rubs hands and strolls away to think up how to place our heroes in even more devious torture....a musical death trap perhaps.....hmmmmm.......

Replacement Review #5 - whew, I'm glad this is the last replacement review because the pressure of trying to come up with comments as witty and erudite as the ones I originally posted is killing me. Of course, I do tend to overestimate my own wit, so maybe I didn't really have to work this hard after all, but since the original reviews are gone, as far as anyone knows they were the epitome of humor and intelligence. I'm sticking with that story, at least. Now, lets step aside for a moment and analyze this chapter, shall we? A huge, thick pole penetrating through a big hole . . . What does this remind you of? Should I get Sigmond Freud in here to explain? Nope, I think we all get it. Hehehe! TAG



Author's Response:

LOLOL Maybe we should get Sigmund in here! I honestly did not mean for the double entendre. On second thought, maybe not. Who wants to talk about my mother?? Blechh

Replacement Review #4 - I always love when you start in on your descriptions of Brian's various outfits, like his Kevlar armor/suit in this chapter. Usually, you're more into leather, but I can work with the Kevlar thing too. So, is this a special fantasy, kinky fetish or just a guilty pleasure on the author's part? We may never know. Which, frankly might be a good thing . . . (Just kidding!) Now, as to the rude cliffhanger [Insert standard cliffhanger complaint #3 here.] - says the pot to the kettle remarking on how black they both are. TAG



Author's Response:

His kinky superhero suit was due to a request to a reader....can't quite remember who....

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: May 23, 2013 11:56 AM · On: The Golden Goose and The Homeless Hermit

Replacement Review #3 - I think I detect a certain amount of 'Monty Python-ery ' what with your hermit named Timothy. But shouldn't he be up on a rickety rope bridge asking Brian and Justin what's their favorite color? Or was that the wizzard who lived in the caves? I forget. Besides, how can you be a hermit and live in a luxury resort? Well, we'll just have to see about that. Next chapter. . . TAG



Author's Response:

No Monty Python-ery meant. As for whether Tim can live in a luxery resort....that question and more is coming up in my next chapter. I will be posting soon!

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: May 23, 2013 10:57 AM · On: The Second Try

Replacement Review #2 - Before this chapter I guess you could say that Brian and Justin didn't know Jack! Now they do, so . . . That's good, I guess. Will they make it in time before the Oath is finished? Who knows! Well, you do, since you're the author. Me, I'll just keep reading and find out. TAG 

P.S. This probably wasn't as witty as the original, but I tried!



Author's Response:

Thanx for reviewing. As you saw, I guess, it's a long road ahead.

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: May 23, 2013 09:16 AM · On: The Town is Dark

Replacement Review #1 - I'm finally getting around to redoing all the reviews that got wiped out when the site server crashed - sorry it took so long! You KNOW I always love your stories. You've got one of the sharpest wits out there. Since I tend to read a lot when I'm on public transportation, and I find I'm laughing out loud while reading your stories, I have to always prep myself beforehand if you're the author. Just be warned, if I'm hauled off to the looney bin by one of my fellow bus riders, I'm blaming YOU! Now. On to Chapter two. TAG



Author's Response:

I had no idea about a crash....sorry I missed your reviews, thanks for doing them again. Be careful while reading and riding. I've warned you b4 hehe

It's great that the boys are back home. But where's prenant Justin!

Reviewer: Somme (Anonymous) · Date: May 17, 2013 06:17 AM · On: Dawn`s Light Overcomes Evil`s Night

'NOT SO DAUNTING AFTER ALL"  Didn't stop laughing at that one for a while.

The job offer was nice of them. But I do believe this means their house and hometown is going to be flooded with the unemployed. No good deed goes unpunished.

Reviewer: maris (Anonymous) · Date: May 13, 2013 12:07 PM · On: Vengeance and Justice

This is about ch. 8. I am behind in all ways.

It's quite something the way this tale has fairytail creatures living seamlessly alongside the modern world and using modern technology. And even using said technology while still being part of the fairytail world.

It's been long awhile since I've read the first chapters, but I don't remember the Kevlar vests.

I love the phrase "mind-mushifying".

The giant is perhaps too nice. And it's very sweet of Justin to beg for Stockwell's life.  Canon Justin would probably do this as well.  Brian's less charitable attitude is also in keeping with probable canon. Not that I rate stories or fanfic characters on how close they are to the"real" characters.  But it is worth mentioning when they both jibe.

Stockwell was so good at a snide but funny turn of a phrase. He will be missed.

Too funny. And so irreverent. But in a good way.

Poor Ted.

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: April 17, 2013 02:42 AM · On: Vengeance and Justice

Was that last line a hint about the comimg mpreg?

More story please.



Author's Response:

No, it wasn t a hint about the mpreg. It will be explained next chapter, although the clues are there to figure that cryptic statement out. Don't worry, mpreg is coming. Now that the giant and Stockwell are squared away, we can move this baby (pun intended) along! That was an interesting interpretation though!

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: April 15, 2013 12:05 PM · On: Vengeance and Justice

At first I was kind of bummed that Stockwell will live.  But it's probably for the best. Keep it up.

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: April 15, 2013 07:40 AM · On: Vengeance and Justice

So the giant is a good guy. Loving this story.



Author's Response:

Yup, and remember a few events have been altered since  Jack's (the first one) day. It's a 1,000 years later or so, this giant has a son who was being held for ransom and the harp was kidnapped as well. Plus she has more dangerous powers that don't belong in our world. So, there's 2 possibilities. The giant is good....or...the giant is still vicious but driven by revenge against the kidnapper and there's sort of a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of a thing going on here. You be the judge.

Reviewer: lexa4227 (Signed) · Date: April 11, 2013 10:07 PM · On: Vengeance and Justice

Great chapter. 

Reviewer: maris (Anonymous) · Date: April 11, 2013 05:01 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Please ignore the "update" in the earlier comment. I know this makes me sound like the world's biggest idiot. But it turns out, it was correct the first time. Guess I should pay more attention.

Forgot to mention. Loved all the humorouse asides throughout the chapter, as well as the story in general. Wish more Queer fic writers were as funny.

Reviewer: maris (Anonymous) · Date: April 10, 2013 10:25 PM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Update:  In  the next to the last sentence of my last comment there is a mistake. It is supposed to be "seen by the readers" not "by the author".  Sorry about any confusion.

Reviewer: maris (Anonymous) · Date: April 10, 2013 10:48 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

The mixture of old fairy tale and modern humor and attitudes continues to be entertaining.

Some of the narrative sounds a bit like stage or screen set direction. And the image of the three fervently nodding and then shakeing their heads sets the tone for the whole chapter.  Stockwell comes across as capable of a snarky phrase even through his insanity.  In fact, there's not a dull character to be had in this section of story.

About comments on old stories.... While I haven't polled the readers here. I believe that most believe as I do that once a story is completed, the author moves on. So, any reviews left after this point will probably never be read. And for this reason, most readers don't leave comments on older or completed stories. And in a lot of/most cases the readers are correct about this. I don't want to tell you how to write, but offer a suggestion. If you want to increase comments for old stories, it might help to make a notation where readers can see it. Perhaps a remark at the end of the tale or another visible spot stating that any late comments or reviews will be seen by the author. Not sure this will make a difference, but it may be worth a try. 



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you liked the chapter. Thanx so much for the praise! And thanks for the intelligent suggestions re:  reviews and old stories.

I also recieved your  message on the other site about not enough of the other characters. So you'll be happy to know even though B&J are stuck in the  jam they are by themselves, once they are out in the world again, the next story arc  involves the other characters a bit more.

Reviewer: Beth55 (Anonymous) · Date: April 03, 2013 11:16 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

 

This is funny.

But poor Jack. I'm holding out hope that he will be allright. But how can you come back from that?!

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: March 30, 2013 08:29 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Get the boys out of this cliffhanger and bring on pregnant Justin!



Author's Response:

Trust me...I'm tryyyyy-in'!!! It's almost over. I have to warn you, I'm not sure how much detail I'll put into the mpreg since this story has gone on wayyyyy to long as it is. But the issue will definitely be addressed.

Reviewer: lexa4227 (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2013 10:11 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Great chapter, looking forward for more. 

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: March 26, 2013 05:53 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Another cliffhanger? Your killing me here! But don't stop.

Reviewer: Somme (Anonymous) · Date: March 25, 2013 11:42 AM · On: Freedom, Truth, and Consequences

Just like in the movies. Things are going so well, everybody's happy, everybody's partying. But of course this means it's whammo time.



Author's Response:

You got it! Hope you enjoyed the cliffie! Tune in next time!

Reviewer: maris (Anonymous) · Date: March 25, 2013 05:36 AM · On: The Harp

Glad you liked my review. Suppose you're right about the spoilers.

Since I can't remember all of my earlier comments in detail, recreating them is unlikely. I would have preferred posting reviews in the comments section of each respective story, making spoilers a non issue. But since these fics were long ago finished, I figured any new comments would never be seen.

Pleased that you were not put off by my critical opinion of the mystery villian.

 



Author's Response:

Ahhhh...I wondered why people reviewed up to a point and then but stopped. However, if you  (or anyone else) is reading an old fic PLEASE REVIEW if you want to. I check my shories all the time, for the new one but also the old ones. The Little Merman has reached 33, 028 hits and it still  going up to this day. But no new reviews. Please review folks! I'll see them!

And yes, I actually hated how the mystery villian turned out in Lttle Merman. By the end of the dance contest or there abouts it was so painfully obvious who it was, I wanted to get rid of him but by then he was so much a part of the plot, I couldn't stop. So I just muddled on.

I'll tell you what though, the way that started was just out of the blue. I was very happy writing them home or being romantic or whatever happened and out of no where I wrote: But someone was watching. It was completely unplanned and I sat there for several minutes and thought....Well....that was wierd! And I kept it in because I wanted to find out who this mystery figure was and why he was watching. I had no idea. So that's now that started.

Anyway, hope yur enjoying the latest excursion into weirdness as well and hope you're enjoying the VERY extended epilogue to Beauty and the Beast.

Dear Readers,

I just wanted to aknowledge a fantastic review given to me my a reader/writer code named maris. It was fully 5 or six paragraphys long and was a review on a few of my stories.

However, upon reflection I decided it was so full of spoilers that I decided to delete it. Sorry Maris. And thank you for your both good and bad feedback about the stories. You were totally right about the mystery villian, it was a thread that just went terribly terribly wrong but couldn't pull out of. If you can re write yur review without talking about the outcomes and revelations of the characters of the stories, please feel free to re post

However, as it stood, I'm afrraid I had to delete it.

Okay, I had just reread the whole story from the start and wrote amazingly funny and insightful reviews for each chapter. I was really funny. Really! You would have loved those reviews. . . I'll try to recreate them but I fear they won't be as funny (I haven't had as much to drink tonight). TAG
