Angels Don't JUST Live in Heaven

oh, this is brilliant, really good. You have really given the characters personalities and developed them and you have carried out the story excellently, giving just the right number of twists to keep it interesting. Sometimes i think that the home and away script writers should take ideas from the fan fiction and this is one storyline that would have been great if it were used!!! It certainly had me hooked, and im guessing it also had everyone hooked as well.

Keep up the great work!!

Lol yea! Go work for home & Away! lol

You've all been so very kind! Can I ask a favour? Please reread from page 16; there's an important bit I didn't paste originally, but I have now. Sorry!

[-lolly-]

I re-read page 16 and that chapter makes a lot more sense now lol i was wondering what the question Leah had asked her was This story is so good please update soon

[Nicom]

Re-read it! Yea, I see now! I really do love this story! Please update soon! I really do love this story! You are a great writer and this is different to other jack & Martha fan fics! Not that i don't like them, because I do, but this is different, normally they are together in the first 5 chapters, or they are arguing and furious at each other and then suddenly kiss. I do like them fan fics, don't get me wrong, but I've enjoyed reading their friendship too!

Hi, I don't mean to be annoying, because I'm not moaning or anything, I was just wondering is there like a rough time/day when you write additional chapters? Because I've noticed that you often do around 7.30 and 8.30 pm, but didnt know if there was a pattern in days, or just when you can? Please don't see this message as checking up on you and making sure you write back, or being impatient, because I'm sure that you have a life outside this forum! lol

My ideal target is 2000 a day but I rarely make that. I mostly work after supper & at weekends or on my day off, Wednesday if I have a good day. I'm trying to sort out in my head what happens next just now.

[Nicom]

Ahh kk, that's fine! I'm not saying you have to do it!

My ideal target is 2000 a day

Was that a typing mistake, or sarcasm? lol

[AngelRose]

Neither

Great posts again. Good old Irene being spot on as usual. When will Mac realise, that they are meant to be.

Alf sat down by the shoreline, fishing. At least he pretended to himself he was fishing; he was really doing two quite different things, namely avoiding Morag and trying to work out how he could do his bit to help out young Martha. He heart was sad. Why couldn’t Morag see that by trying to control things again, she was merely driving people away again? How could a woman who was clever enough to become a High Court seem so incapable of learning from past mistakes? Because she was incapable of seeing her hard choices as mistakes he realised. Mistakes denoted weakness and Morag hadn’t been able to see herself as weak in a very long time. Now that he thought about it, it didn’t take a genius to guess the probable last time his sister had cried. He’d lay a year’s bar takings that it had probably been in child-birth. Poor young Bobby’s birth. Maybe that was why mother and daughter had disliked each other venom; Morag remembered the weakness and Bobby had sensed it in her somehow? He was no ‘shrink’ but that made as much sense as anything ever would.

Come to think of it, that COULD go some way to explaining the depth of mistrust there’d been between Morag and Ailsa. They had, after all, in some ways been through similar experiences, they’d just reacted to them VERY different ways. Both had conceived ‘secret’ daughters in sad circumstances at young ages and had to give them up, not even to complete strangers but to people they at least knew of. Alf wasn’t sure he could imagine anything more painful. Morag had turned her pain in on herself using her bitterness as fuel for her legal ambition, whereas as Ailsa had reached out to ‘fill the gap’ by loving waifs and strays’ made all the worse by the fact that her particular ‘project’ had been Bobby, the child Morag had given up. Yes, he could see it all clearly now. As ever, when he thought of Ailsa, Alf smiled wistfully. He was sure that Ailsa would have been fond of a lively kid like Martha he was sure and any excuse to spar with Morag would have been an ‘added bonus’! Still thinking hard, he packed up and made his shift at ‘Noah’s.
