I want to say thanks to those of you reading. I don't say it enough, hell, I hardly ever do, but rest assured that I am absolutely filled with gratitude for your feedback and always have a big grin when I read it. Second, I love this idea. It's a chance to kind of see what y'all are getting out of the story and also give me some ideas about where I should go next. So, ask away. If I can answer, I will, if I can't, I will address the question as best I can. I shall leave no stone unturned, no question ignored.  |

I'm glad you created this thread FF. I love to talk about fan fics almost as much as I love reading them. I will be back after I give it some thought.

I really love that you have made Philip's war experiences and his injuries a part of the story. They definitely contribute to the man he is now and it has really enhanced the story.
I also love the fabulous friendship between Nicole and Chloe. I love that they can be brutally honest with each other. I really enjoy Philip and Nicole's relationship too. It's refreshing on a soap to see a man and woman be friends and even confidants without having one of them hoping to get the other in the sack.

Some of your scenes are so memorable that they stay with me long afterward. I'm thinking about the scene when Phloe are dancing outside the mansion, and the shower stall scene. They are so vivid. I struggle with writing those types of scenes, which is why I write script style, rather than manuscript. What's your secret?

I feel very much that way as well. For me, one has to remember who/what Philip was when he and Chloe first met, and how he treated people. He feels like karma came back and bit him hard in the butt, but he hasn't properly mourned his own losses because he doesn't want to be seen as a victim, even though he victimizes himself regularly. I'm not totally sure that Nicole has given up hope...kidding! But she does have a physical attraction to him. It's just that having someone in her corner and be her friend means much more to her than a roll in the hay. |

I struggle with writing those types of scenes, which is why I write script style, rather than manuscript. What's your secret? .....Um...ideas come to me while I'm taking baths. Seriously. Dancing in the rain is just something I find absolutely romantic, yet sad, and cathartic, all at the same time. It's also the title of a good friend's song, which you can hear here...which I love, and his lyrics pretty much sum those three emotions up. The shower...well, it was time to turn up the heat, and clearly, I have a thing for water. It came purely from imagination, as I have not been so lucky to have anything more wowing than a couch in my...ya know. |
