That's really not very nice is it?

Great chapter Nic! But I have to say, a few lines made me laugh... lmao, Jacky what did you expect? Everyone thought you were dead you idiot. lol lol, kick is a rather weird way to put it isn't it. I could just imagine this little man kicking laughs up. How would a wide smile look suspicious? lmao. As always you made me laugh, I especially loved the bit where Colleen said something along the lines of "Wait Madge will be here soon". Please update ASAP!

Omg, that was just amazingly sweet. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Fabulous writing. I just hate the fact that I know you're going to cause drama.

Well, I'll admit it, I've been a bad friend, since I haven't reviewed in God knows how long... lol I've been checking for updates though and so love reading this story! Nicole as always... 1) Your writing is great. 2) You've made me laugh, countless times whilst reading this. I have to say I loved the bit where Jack said: "One and a half years without salt and vingear, Luc. One and a half years!!!" Made me a laugh. 3) You're a weirdo. Just thought I'd add that little fact on the end there. No, but seriously, this story is so entertaining - I bet people will be wanting to know what Martha's secret is! But I know it, I know it! *shakes bum and laughs* lol Anyways, please please update sooooooon! If not for everyone else, then for me. Joke! But seriously, update, please.

Great start!! Please update ASAP!

Nicole said it all for me. I mean, why be so damn annoying?

lol. Fortunately I just have great self discipline. lol

I always get writers block. It's a curse. lol Problem is, as Tainted Muse said, you are determined to finish it, I can never just let it slip. And what happens is I think of all these other fic ideas but I don't start them because I know if I do, then I will never get the original fic done. I mean I've had these two ideas for two fics for about 1-2 months now and I still haven't started them yet because I'm still on my current fic. For me, I find completely changing where you first planned the story to go really helps, because it renews your interest in the plot and it's almost as if you're writing a new story. Sorry, that probably contradicts what some people have said above, but for me that works. Also doing something unexpected in your fic is good for me because I stay interested in it for longer.

Nicole's so right. I don't understand how you can be this evil. I thought you were a lovely person but obviously I misjudged you. I wanna hug Jack now. I feel so sorry for him.

Omg! Poor Jack!! Why are you being so mean to him? I mean, Carl seems lovely but come on Martha, you know you love Jack! Please please update ASAP!

I LOVE it already! Fantastic writing and I love the subject thingy (if you get what I mean). It's fab! Please please update soon!

Amy, what are you doing? What's with all the kissing and the I love you's and the general lovey dovey stuff?! That's supposed to be with Jack, not Carl! Can I just say - Carl seems really nice and I'm warming to him, but I still hate him. Please update soon! And put it right or else...

I'm loving this already! Fantastic writing - your fics are always such a joy to read! But what??? Martha and Carl?? Getting married?! That's just wrong. There's no ring to Martha and Carl is there? No. Jack and Martha better get back together.... otherwise I'll come after you.

Are you trying to make me cry?! You're writing it so well, that I actually feel like someone I know has died, and I feel really really bad. Beautiful chapter, if incredibly sad. I wonder what the DVD message says...

What she said *points* Don't you know that it's rude to point Nicole?!

I LOVED it - writing was great and the belt thing was hilarious Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Omg I loved it. Jack was so sweet at the beggining and then the Tony bit was so funny and the Coleen bit was so in character, and everything was just perfect! One of my favourite chapters - fantastic writing - you made me laugh and go awwwww. lol Please update asap!

Could a mod please pin this thread? I love music - Thanks for the tips! I always get writers block and I just wait for it to pass. Unfortunately that can take a long time. In fact I've had writer's block for a good month or two now so I'm gonna try out some of your ideas... Also, in regard to what age your stories suit best wouldn't it be adolescents, as in teenagers? When you say children do you mean like 10-12ish or younger or older? I guess, when it comes to writing for younger kids the same themes just don't apply. Half of it is just not coming up with an adult plot. If you come up with an appropriate plot then the writing should come naturally.

I don't think so, but really I would have to see the two styles. I mean it might be subtle change in the style through the story in which case that's kinda just your writing maturing but I wouldn't advise major style change. Ideally I would say if you want to write in a different style then do it in a new fic.

lol, well you might just be in luck. I have a 3 parter fic idea that I think I will start once i've finished "Trapped". It will be called "Confessions" and each part will follow one couple with their struggle through something, it may be an event, a loss, an admition, anything! I can reveal that Mattie and Lucas will be on of those couples...

As I have told Nicole (not that she likes to accept it) I will not be writing a sequel ever, sorry guys, but I'm satified with where I left it.

Ok, wait for it... WAHAY!!!!!!!!!! *cheers* YES!!!!!!!!! They're back together! They're back together! *chants* You have made my day!!!! :D Wasn't that just totally and utterly perfect?! It's taken long enough... Can't wait for the next chapter! Brilliant writing.

Thanks for all your comments guys - they are much appreciated. And Jess, thanks, as always for your fair and honest opinion, I agree with you about the repetitiveness. If I wasn't lazy, I would try and just work over it a bit but I can't be bothered (my laziness is terrible isn't it? lol).
