Oh, gosh...OK, I'll have my kleenex ready for Chap 9...! $\:$$ Oh, rainbow sparklies $\:D$ For me, they represent everything so sweet and young and safe and innocent and beautiful in your story/world and I kind of imagined them with the rainbow sparklies like a crown or halo or the sun shining on them. Like everything that's right in their world. Balanced on the other side is how dark their world is becoming b/c of the war, etc. Yes, I love that Reosin and Esobel are so in love with eachother physically and emotionally. Makes them more real. (Crushing on Reosin! $\;$$ ) Also, I think it's cool that Merindylen has Lady Knights. Do all the kingdom's have that? Or is that just a Merindylen specific thing, like there was some sort of past historical precedent, or is the Lady (I forget her name, the one on the council) an exceptionally adept physical and strategic mind who rallied for this organization, or something else? If you can't comment that's totally OK too. $\:D$ Thanks again for that really lovely update! Have a sunny, warm, wonderful week!!! $\:\)$

Hello Judi! $\:\)$ I'm Just About To Read The Veronika Storm Chapters I've Missed! I Didn't Realise I Hadn't Been There In A While! I've Just Been So Busy That I've Not Read Any Sims Stories! But I'm Going To Catch Up! Hope Your Well - Katie x

The Storm family looks so sweet and loving. $\:\)$ It's so sad that Veronika's alone now. $\:$$ But lucky she had that great Chase family to live with. $\:D$ ... Vasiily and Illandrya are so ADORABLE together!!! If they were any happier together they'd have rainbow sparklies shooting off of eachother! $\:D$ But they are so young and brave and good. I so felt for them here: "An unbidden and unwelcome sense of loss and pain washed over her and she feared that he would be lost to her forever should he go." And I just love Reosin and Esobel. I think they are a lovely, very passionate ( $\:D$ ) couple. $\:$$ But I really loved how serious and dark the chapter became at the end, not just for Deyon but about the Maje and just about war in general. My fave moment was the bit of comic relief when Vasiily said 'But father!' and how that was used as a turning point to how serious and dark everything would become. Excellent job!!! Thank you for all your hard work! And good luck on all your studies!

Also, loved the intro entries and all your story/writer/creator comments and the extra pics!!! Really loved how you made it clear that Veronika was the analyst and not 'military-trained'. And cool detail about keeping agents 'in the family'. That kind of makes sense, doesn't it and really runs contra to all that 'no fraternizing/office romance' stuff! And the Chase family is gorgeous! I think Simon and Melissa were probably super ADORABLE when they were young. $\:wub\:$ I love the detail about Aaron having a crush on Veronika and being in the legal department. Also about Benjamin being a bit apprehensive about following in the family's footsteps. I really feel for Matilda though. She must be a tough cookie b/c I would be a wreck knowing that my husband and sons were in a dangerous line of work! (except for the nice safe legal department $\:D$ ) But I really love the idea of the family farm. A nice grounding homey detail. $\:\)$ Thank you for that entry b/c it's so cool to see them and the family resemblances etc.! I love Simon but I think Hayden is 'hunky'! $\:D$

OMG! I actually started getting misty in Chapter 7 of The Great Agent Heist. Like snot-in-my-nose-can't-breathe misty! I'm so happy that Veronika and Simon are kindofsortof together!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! $\:D$ Chapters 6 and 7 are exciting and amazing and I loved the clutter shots too that Jennifer pointed out and Veronika's patterned shirt in Chap 6 and all the airforce gear in Chap 7. REALLY loved the fact that an agent was from Canada! $\:D$ But I'm still misty over Veronika and Simon (although I can breathe better now $\:D$ ). LOVED IT! THANK YOU!!!

Helloooo Illandrya! I'm just here to say, you rock, because you absolutely fabulously rock, and I just had to stop by and let you know that... my whiskers bow before you $\:wub\:$

kateknightukAug 23, 2010

Hi Judi, well, you have been a busy girl. Loved reading chapters 6 and 7, very well done you! Can't wait for more... xxx

flody888Aug 23, 2010

Ooooh, I can't wait!!! (But have to/must/will $\:D$ ) Seeing Simon's family and the aftermath of this emotional genie that you've unbottled is just as exciting as the action-mystery you've got going on. $\:D$ I totally can see how it must've been tough for you to write though. I mean, this is something poor Simon's been living with for YEARS (I still haven't figured out why too) and poor Veronika too...I mean YEARS! And then it all comes out with one kiss 'on the job'! I mean, YIKES!!!! Gosh, I just love it! $\:D$ $\:P$ $\;\)$ $\:wub\:$ $\:rah\:$ I so hope your game co-operates with you! $\:\)$ My legacy game is very finicky. I hope yours is not likethat! Have a super nice, lovely, magical day!!

Hi Judi! It's been a while. How are you? I'm just counting the days to my first day being a Junior in high school. *here comes the shameless plug* I have a livejournal now, again, and i posted a story. Hopefully someone in my household does not sabotage it. Bye! $\:wub\:$

RatRaceRobAug 20, 2010

Greetings! Your comment on Cribt(5) was wonderful to read-- thanks so much for that! I've told a few people how terrified I was to submit this last one... letting Jules 'age up' and, well, everything else I let happen the way I'd originally intended, I was really worried some readers would want to light torches $\:eek\:$ lol ... It seems to have gone over alright, though, thanks to fantastic comments like yours! $\:wub\:$

Hi Judi, how are you? Hope you've had a good week. $\:\)$ Thought I'd stop by and say hi! Sometimes I feel like a am neglecting TSR a bit. $\:o$ Do you have much planned for the weekend? It's 4.45pm and almost home time for me. The rain has just gotten heavier outside and I do not look forward to drving on the Eastlink...erm, freeway. My car can handle it, good old mazda 6, well it's not that old only 1 yr! lol But it's the other people that insist on driving 15 to 20 klms under the speed limit! Sometimes I think these people are the dangerous ones! Also wanted to thank you for your wonderful comments on my recent updates of The Drifter. I really appreciate it. $\:\)$ I'm having quite a good run with the chapters atm, have a few on the go but still need some tweaking. Well best be off, in between phone calls and some other stuff it has taken me almost 15 mins to write this gb entry! lol Have lovely weekend, I hope you get some sun on the weekend on your side of OZ. ~ Jen $\:wub\:$

Loved 'The Talk'!!! I totally agree with Margo's comment about the nice change of scene/gears/intimacy/emotion/character development from the mystery/action (although I love that too!). It's nice to see more of Simon's family too and how long Simon's been in love with Veronika and how many people could see that he was in love with her!!! Wow, it's going to be interesting to see what happens next! (I'm a hopeless romantic so I'm rooting for a Simon and Veronika lovematch $\:D$ ) Oh, I just thought of a reason why Veronika might not know why/if she's in love with Simon but I'll keep it to myself and see if it's true! Also, love your legacy pics! Love seeing how kids inherit traits/looks from the parents and how they change as they age! Thanks for the great story! I totally needed another story fix for tonight! $\:D$

kateknightukAug 16, 2010

(((Judi))) Wow, I have just read Chp 5, "Tha Talk". You have conveyed the emotion so well! I couldn't stop reading, I only meant to have a quick peep and get on with my cleaning, but.... Fab chapter $\:\)$

fredbrennyAug 16, 2010

(((Judi)))) $\:wub\:$ Thank you thank you thank you!!! I am sooo happy you liked the outcome of this story... I was stuggling with the words, and wished we all spoke the same language. But this family is so dear to me... I might just go on and play with them, see what the future will bring them $\;\)$ Thanks for all your support girlfriend!!! I know how busy you are! (((((BIG HUGGGS) fred $\:wub\:$

martoeleAug 15, 2010

Yes, I suppose that years of experience as a secret agent! It was the first thing that drew my attention of Veronika. She's really acting like she should! $\:wub\:$

flody888Aug 15, 2010

Yes, that makes sense. $\:D$ Thanks for the insight. That's kind of cool to know. $\:D$

flody888Aug 15, 2010

You're freaking kidding me!!! Do reader comments actually influence you??? I thought your stories were already written out? If we do, that's kind of cool! $\:cool\:$ But, don't feel bad about 'no spoilers' b/c I really want to be surprised!!! If it helps any, I'll try to be enthusiastic without asking for spoilers. (Will have to figure out how to do that!!! $\:P$ ) Have a super lovely weekend!!!

flody888Aug 15, 2010

Hey! Thanks for the 'no comments'! $\:D$ I wouldn't have it any other way! That would spoil things! $\:D$ I have to remember to rein in my enthusiasm sometimes when I speculate! $\:D$ Eight chapters per story day sounds like a lot to do but I so look forward to it as a reader. Lots more to speculate on! $\;\)$ Thanks bunches again! You're such a fantastic writer! $\:wub\:$

Thank you Judi for commenting on various of my shots. You recognize Veronika for her blue bikini but you can recognize her as well for the position of her head. She looks around more often than other simmies. (Must be her profession!) Hahaha.
