Your fics are much better overall .,.,... was just using the TF films as a reference point. it's like, me being annoyed at this Raffy sitch would be like somone [constantly] reading my fics and then having a go at me cos of the girl on girl and fantasy [time travel, alien shapeshifter, mermaids etc] elements !!!

I should know that this will happen ..... its like watching Michael Bay film, and then getting upset etc that its got all the usual Bayisms.

I'm always going to read your fics .....and I noticed you had started to post this on Staurday I think ... its just easier to respond during on weekdays - I printed the opening 2 chaoters this morn and read them at lunchtime at work. PS - whilst includng Raffy should help, mocking her [she's been a dog, a pyscho? rag doll and now a scarecrow in your fics] doesn't help !!!!

As much as I “slightly” LOOOOOVE girl on girl, i REALLY like that Ruby/Nicole wasn't rushed ….. looks like them sleeping together made them realise something was there tween them at least, then they took it slow ….is that right? LIKING that Mink’s aboard …… and Billie being totally in character, worried about the Bay’s DDG former residents !!!

VERY strange .... that's a compliment, btw !!! Funny about Scarlett noticing etc Alf's pert bum, loved the maybe still innuendo of "Kat was waking to find she had very rosy cheeks from doing a fair amount of blowing last night………. Blowing of her police whistle of course what else?", the harry potter connection is intriguing ....... but the less said about scarecrow Raffy the better

Coool that Ruby & Nic are [still] together and in this fic !!! Also loved ………. Miles shook his head.“Is there some weird cosmic force causing people who used to live in Summer Bay to hook up?” “What can I say?I forgot what it’s like to be in Summer Bay.Nothing stays secret for long.” Olivia fixed him with a steely gaze.“Just remember, if you ever let her down, my boyfriend knows several different ways to kill you.” “That is actually true,”Jett agreed. Spencer smiled at Skye and put an arm round her, kissing her on the top of the head.“I’m not going to let them down.” and And now it’s you that the youngsters look up to.”Alf looked at her suspiciously.“I hope you’re not here expecting some sort of passing of the torch.” Looking fwd to more

Liked the tie in with real H&A history … the dude who wanted revenge on Dan getting it through Leah. REALLY like the inclusion of “holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die.” Will take some getting used to Sally calling Mr Stewart Alf ……and Aden/Kisrty ….and Gypsy/Miles …both different and intriguing/surprising

I actually wasn't so keen on AoE, but even that had some great moments …. Especially seeing Optimus as a flat nose briefly at the start, and when we discovered Drift is a triple changer [as pre the movie, I’d only seen pics etc of him as Bugatti Veyron ….was coooool to see him also transform into an attack helicopter]. Dark of the Moon is probably my fave so far, but most of that was cos of when Autobots returned after being supposedly killed .,…..you knew they hadn’t, because you can’t permanently kill Optimus, but that didn’t stop the moment they did form being cool, AND it reminded me of [and could have been inspired by] when the Autobots faked being killed in the orig animated series by making it look like their ship had collided with the sun – after the Decepticons framed them for something. Dark of the Moon also has 3 Autobots who transform into NASCARs – one of whom we see occasionally in Last Knight .,….. in which I also like the different take on the Arthurian/Excalibur/Merlin legend.

I’m not really affected whether you didn't like the film as much as me. Would have been good if you did – but only cos it would have made the film better for you, if that makes sense. Its like, a critic not liking a film that I REALLY want to see won’t stop me from seeing it …recent example – I heard terrible things about Transformers – Last Knight, and whilst I agree that the criticisms are very valid, I still REALLY enjoyed it ….bonus of Jemma Chan [from Brit TV series HUMANS] in a cooool cameo.

Must admit that I can see a lot of the flaws etc that you're talking about ..... and its kinda funny that I saw a recent news piece online last night about the possibility of a live action ROBOTECH film, which, its like, how do you transfer all of its sprawling saga to a 2 hour movie ...... but yeah, must admit that I really, not surprisingly, thought that i'd never see Abigail again. So that i'm thankful for, cos LOVE her ..... and whilst I would have loved to see more of Abigail/Dena Kaplan, the film, more so even than the show, was all about Tara ......which we knew it would be cos DA is all about the show's creator living vicariously through Tara. Films, shows are all about moments for me, and seeing Abigail again, especially in the Tara chore'd dance sequence towords the end, was just too beautiful !!!

That's MASSIVE to know about Leah !!!! ...... and no surprise that Billie knew what had happened !!! BIG also to know about Evie and the abortion and how it southed her and Spencer. NICE touch that Josh wondered if Oscar had been responsible for another medi miracle !!! [And cool that DANCE ACADEMY arrived on your day on your day off !!!!! Hoper you enoy it as much as I did !!!!!]

Have just looked back through some of my own fan fics and I realised that the person is was thinking of when I wrote my comment [bout you liking Tamara] was actually LOTTIE. it's like, I thought I got Rosie & Tamara together in my fics, and then Tamara got together later with Chris, but no, Rosie "merely" tried to kiss Tamara and then got together with Lottie [and then I had Lottie/Chris] ..... who, yeah, I KNOW you like. Hope that all makes sense.

Not surprised that Tamara is in this .... I rem how much you liked her. The Alfisms were indeed coooool esp. You’d think a bloke was dying.” and "And don’t give me a big speech about how much I mean to you or how much of a difference I’ve made to your life or I really am going to want to cark it.” looking fwd to more

That's annoying bout Dance Academy. Hope this latest time you purchased it etc works out much MUCH better. on the plus side, the movie [I believe] is BEYOND worth it !!!!! LOOOOOOVE it ... loooove these ppl ... Abigail, Tara, Kat, Miss Raine, everyone !!!!!!!

Sooo many great little moments there, especaially ….. There was an awkward pause.“I’m not sure if he’d like that,”Roo admitted,“You’re like a granddaughter to him, he doesn’t like people seeing him weak.” “This is why you called us here though,”Billie pressed Josh shrugged.“Guess that’s what happens when I’m in jail and you’re dead.” Alf rolled his eyes.“That’s all I need, a house full of wailing women for Alf Stewart’s last hurrah.” And ………………….VERY glad you’ve got Skye in this !!!

To paraphrase something I rem from the 1980s movie version of “Annie”, Summer Bay without Alf is like a night without stars !!! I also liked ……. Billie was cradling the couple’s second son.“Have you got the bag?”she asked VJ,“Just in case ‘V3’ needs a change.”As ever, she said the name as though she wasn’t quite convinced by it. …..and …… “You guys get the Bat signal too, huh?”VJ asked.

There’s LOTS to love bout this chapter …. Heath admitting that he can actually finally totally be himself when he's with April [and vice versa]; Josh etc saying that they were merely Away when they were you know where; “If you want a recommendation for younger men, I can give you one,”Billie offered, and The brilliant notion, and logic, of “dead people” like Oscar curing cancer, cos of the various ppl who would obstruct/stop that happening. Wonder what the rush back to the Bay is all about !!!! Oh, and btw, Dance Academy – The Movie was released on DVD here in Oz today ……and I’ve just finished watching Abagail and the gang’s US etc adventure for the 1st time in the comfort of my own home !!!!!!

REALLY liking that Raffy seems to be getting some actual storylines of her own ...... her friendship with fellow main castie Coco and now this whole things bout living arrangements - be interesting how they [the show] plays her living with John and Maz - looks like, ain a way, John and Maz are thinking of their fostering days ...and whilst there's a distinct lack of stability for Raffy, that makes for good drama and Olivia Debble had already shown she just perfect for a challenge like this ....... and I LOVE her cheeky sarcasm - which was highlighted again in tonight's ep !!!!

Agree with others about interesting pairings ..... Tori/ASh is ironic, and as for Darcy/Hunter, I think Darcy has NO/BAD taste !!!!! Looking fwd to more

Nice touch with Inspector Watson …. A GREAT ode to the AWESOME Georgina !!!! Good that the whole Phoebe, Josh kid was explained. LOOOVE that VJ and Billie called one of their kids V3. Also loved ……“Well, this is Summer Bay, land of the second chances.” And the VERY parental ““That’s enough, Vincent Patterson III,”Billie warned him

Liking the idea of VJ/Billie with a bunch of kids !!! ..... but does the world need Phoebe with offspring??? Looking fwd top where this fic goes !!!

AN appropriately weird coooooooooooooooooooooooooooool finale to this fic !!!!! ......... and given how old Alf is, this line was just ....even with a fic this bonkers extreme ... so unexpected ...... “Alfred do not curse in front of me or never mind how old you may be I will still give you a smacked bottom.”

I'm guessing the Bay will mellow her .....and if she becomes friends with Raffy, the latter should be a good influence

I can see where you're going with that ..... and loks wise, she's like a younger version of Ricky Sharpe. It's ironic that Ziggy, who's a bit of wild child, looks she might be the catalyst [sp?] for Brody to turn his drug fuelled life about. '

Thanks for the UK goss on Smallville ....and for the pic of Amy. Your comment reminded me of something I wrote in mine and Miranda's Terminator spoof on here ..... 162769053429 Accessing database Rominator “New plan. Ruby & I will be fellow students in VJ’s classes.” Ruby “We WON’T be able to pass ourselves off as teens.” Rominator “Yes, we will. My database indicates that many TV shows feature actors in their 20s playing high school kids.” VJ [sarcastically] “And if it’s on TV, it MUST be true.” Ruby “Back to school we go then, [she looks at the Rominator] but you & me with different identities.”
