The winning wedding is now posted. A huge thank you to Ryan and lauren for their help. Anyone surprised? I was; my favourite couple won but I was really surprised one of the current 'hot couples' or at least a more recent couple was the winner. Any thoughts on how the voting for this contest was organised? Was it maybe fairer to do it the way we did by asking people to vote and then finding an average? Does that give older characters a chance against the current fan favourites? Just curious... Thanks to everyone who voted and for those who missed it... there's always most popular character..

We've now revealed the second place wedding with the winner being announced tomorrow just ahead of Brad and Sally's wedding in the UK on Monday.

Aww thanks Sarah... just had to say WELCOME BACK! Nice to see you again.

Well we're into the top 5 if anybody's following.

Why doesn't that surprise me Lil

Observant aren't you? They were pinned in Aus discussion and general discussion for over a month. ;p The countdown has begun btw.

We have begun our quest to find the most popular summer bay weddings with a brief look at weddings in general and the engagements that never made it to the aisle. Keep checking back daily for updates.

Your smilie works to me what's your problem with them? There is a newbie thread pinned in general chat, feel free to introduce yourself in there. Hi btw

Just read the whole thing. Very good. Love all the twists and turns and the mix of romance in with the dark and dangerous stuff. Hope you update soon.

Yep it sure is.

Thanks. Probably not much in the way of action in that chapter but I wanted to set the tone for the memories a bit and work some of Sally's thoughts in it. The first chapter needed to be from Anna's point of view so Sally's identity remained a mystery but the story is about Sally and more if it will moveinto her thoughts from now on. I just wanted this chapter to be about seeing the Bay throgh Anna's new eyes but also introducing Sally's views too, if that makes sense.

Thanks guys. Eli don't worry bout the other fic, I said no hurry. Afterall I've been sitting on this and that one for months now. Quiet achiever: I'm struggling with my writing at the moment so I'm only really writing stuff that I'm really inspired to do and this storyline was just something I'd have loved to see acted out in a flashback so I thought I'd write it. I can't promise any more Rachel/ Hugh stuff unless I get a wave of inspiration but I am working on some fics with random pairings and underused in fanfic characters if that helps. ILM, Pepper pot is the colour my mum used to call my hair before I started dying it. She used to say it was like a pepper pot because it contained loads of different colours and didn't stand out as a particular colour. I kind of see Rachel's hair like that as sometimes its brown, sometimes red and also blonde, it just seemed like the right word to use.

Sorry I took my time in reviewing. Firstly cliffhanger! Even though I know what's going to happen that line still came as a huge shock and was very well done. I loved the descriptions of Megan, I think everyone knows someone like that. I could just see her in my minds eye. Superb description. Kim is so innocent and naive and I love the new side you've given him. Kit and Noah, just a brief mention but god I love those two together. Its just so sweet and the way you write them, it's like they're just meant to be. I'm falling in love with Gypsy and Jack, Gypsy is so self loathing, I have so much pity for her and Jack's so cute with her. I know the JM fans will be screaming noooo but I really think their pairing works. It just makes me see things from inside Gypsy's head. Very effective. I know I'm going backwards but: Fantastic opening, really set the scene for Martha's anger and Cassie defending him, Hayley thinking of herself and Adam Kerr trying it on, the reactions were spot on in this first scene. I thought this was a fab chapter and you'd be a fool to think otherwise, sorry I haven't been aroiund to tell you that sooner. Just one error, it's Cassie Turner not Parker but if I'd have been around to proof read I'd have told you that so I take the blame.

Moved.

I thought he said Tom too. I'm actually really confused by this, I thought it was going to be his son Steven because of a roumer I'd heard and when he appeared I assumed it was a grown up Steven but then Ian called him something and it didn't sound at all like Steven it sounded like Tom so i'm really confused. :~

Aww what for Rosey? I remember my end of school ball too, I had the most gorgeous dress but stupidly dumped my boyfriend the week before. I was lucky a good friend offered to take me instead and I think I was the envy of everyone there, he's just about the most classicly good looking guy I've ever met which was a nice *&^$ you to everyone I didn't get on with. Had a really good night from what I can remember.

Your holidays seem so random in Aus. I am just wondering why the hell I'm not in bed when I have work tomorrow? I've upped my physio and I'm finding that the more exercise I do, the less sleep I seem to need. Am I the only one who thinks that defys logic?

Hello hun. Its the same here. Snow is cool but we never get it. When I was a kid I remember big snow storms that cancelled school but nothing for years.

Strip? stand under a fan? sunbathe? eat ice lollies? I do like winter too though but this isn't really winter its just cold. Winter needs to be snowy or frosty to be winter and its too cold to be autumn.

How can you not want sun? You sadist Nick! Does anyone else in the UK think it has gone so so cold recently?

You mean since you wrote them?

There are detailed profile summaries for Peter Amanda and Kelli on the main site plus a relationship summary for Peter and Amanda which should answer most of your questions.

Unfortunately no, you have to PM a mod. The reason things like that and the option to change usernames etc as Mez said is because it could get really confusing but also as far as I'm aware is that certain options are grouped together and to give access to some things would mean you'd have to be given access to other features and that'd pretty much be impossible to maintain. I might be wrong but that was the reason I saw for it. With regards to the main site we're trying really hard to bring as many profiles up to date as possible, obviously there's some we've not managed to do yet. If you want to help us update any, particulary older characters, please PM me, we'd happily accept any help.
