Hello Rachelle.
This was a little different for me. I have read the last two iterations of both you and Gretchen so I'm trying to put it all together. The one thing I remember most about all I've read is Jane. She is like a burr under a cowboys saddle. I haven't read work like this before on fan story where you are each giving your opinion of how The story goes. I found it entertaining and did quite a bit of laughing. Very well done.

Yes, I think we paved the way with the multi-author novel. It's been very fun for us both, and our readers have been generous with their reviews.
That is a good description of Jane - like a burr beneath a cowboy's saddle.
The beginning chapters help make it all make more sense. Next week it becomes great fun for ALL the readers!! xoxox

I'm so glad you set the record straight with Jane. Some people knowingly take advantage of others who are too timid to speak up.
I know the skyline of Atlantic City well, since I lived across the bridge in Philadelphia. I'm hoping you take the story into the convention. I'm curious how you would have it set up. I look forward to the next episode.

I know that you stated that this is fiction but I just want to know if there is really such a thing as:"FanStory International Convention?" I would just love it if there were...Right? Any way I loved the story and The picture of the Amish intrigued my wife to read along.

Fiction even extends to the FS International Convention. Sorry! Glad you liked tge Amish pic and that your wife was intrigued to read along.
Comment from lyenochka
Sounds a bit harsh but you made your point and you even got a real apology out of Jane! Of course, Gretchen is giggling because you say what she had thought before. So now I'm wondering if all the Fanstorians will be in the convention and what your next post will be...

Well, now, Helen, some people don't do the right thing until they're treated harshly. Such is the case with with Jane. Others of us can only be nice until we feel we are being treated rudely, and that is me. Yin and Yang, I guess.
And ohhh yes! Something VERY fun and never-been-done special coming down the pike! Definitely stay tuned!! Xo

Thanks for those suggestions, Barbara. I appreciate that you feel comfortable enough to do that and encourage you to do so. It shows you care, and that matters to me very much. Xo

Great use of a dramatic idiom: "Besides, I've got a hundred bucks that says those are crocodiiiiiiiile teeeeeeeeears." a great image: "I will stomp on the brakes so hard that you careen into it, full force, with that entitled little noggin of yours." well written

Hard time at Ridgewood High. I thought Jane was a young gal, not someone approaching seventy. Where did I make the wrong turn. I thought she was going on a.... what your Amish kids do before settling.

No, Rebekah who we dropped off in Long Island is the teen on Rumspringa. Jane is my cousin Tova's friend.

Hallelujah! Rachelle! what a catharsis! An Oscar performance! whew! I feel much better. and to answer Gretchen's question, yes, it was necessary!
However, I was so tickled over your tirade, that it just dawned on me, this is probably the end. I mean it was a great way to end it, but... :) sniff

Okay. The texting back and forth was fricking hilarious. The back and forth about leaving a crying 70 something in a parking lot surrounded by her luggage was priceless. Your comeback should go down in the annals of history. I could hear and feel that statement. So, we finally make it!! Yay. Didn't believe it was actually going to happen a few chapters ago. You out did yourself with this one. BTW, I would never say I forgive you. I would just answer "fine". Virgos don't forgive and forget. We just move the offender up or down on our watch list. Lol. Perfect set up for me. Gretchen

Yes, Virgo can be tough that way. I've been married to two and am friends with four.
Glad you liked the groundwork. Now we're ready for the fireworks!!
