Heh. I don't blame ya, re: Trey. I have my fandoms where I have zero interest in certain characters, no matter what incarnation the authors come up with. So I get it. Unfortunately, he is going to be pretty integral to how things wrap up with this story. At least, as I am leaning now. Of course, once I sit down and seriously start writing the next chapter, who knows. Things rarely go as I intend when I start and tend to take some weird turn. lol. So you might get lucky and there won't end up being as much of him as I think there will be. lol.

Oh, and this makes me think of one of the reviews for this story on ff.net. One person said something about hating Kirsten, Trey and Jimmy so much that it's making them want to puke but that if I update they'll keep reading. lmao. That really made me cackle and kinda made me want to make them worse and see if I could actually make them puke. heh

And the original draft of this chapter was way over the top. So much so that I was laughing my ass off as I was writing it but I figured they were too much of a caricature and toned it down quite a bit.

Happy New Year to you, too:) Looks like I'll be spending my New Year's like I spent my Christmas. Snowed in. Grrr....and Brrrr....lol

I knew I wasn't the only one, although I guess I make no secret of it. I didn't want to suddenly stop commenting without explanation, and I was closely reading and following the characters, plot and dynamics when the primary focus was on Ryan's story and his interactions with the Cohens. I know I was frustrated in canon when the writers used someone like Trey wreck as a deviation without tapping into what seemed like the organic story and relationships, so that's the source of my dislike. It just carries over. I'm guilty as charged of not separating. ; )

I'll skim for any parts that are more of the original story, but I make no promises re: any comments with the new direction. (and if you resurrect any of the other WIPs, I'll have those to read someday) I'm sure you're crushed- not! Speaking of comments, fanfic can be nothing if not entertaining in that department. I guess there's some different motivation, if nothing else!

Snowed in and shivering? Happy New Year! Then again, I'm about as far from the North Pole in this country as you can get, and we're supposed to have temps in the 30s and 40s starting tomorrow. There's no escape!
