Heeheee. I take it that you enjoyed it?

Hells yeah I enjoyed it!

I suspected the abduction as soon as the observatory hove into view, but until then I had no clue that Jayne would go so far. Though I wonder... it seems like this pretty much blows whatever slim chance there was for her to have children with Johnny. She will never earn his trust back now.

Unless... the aliens reap genetic material from him, to implant in her!!! Then she can have his pod-babies without even needing to see him again. Come to think of it, they could be implanting her genetic material into him -- since obviously these PTs are working with Stella. See, there are so many ways this could go...

Jayne might want to stay out of Johnny's sight for awhile, regardless. I know he's a peaceful guy but he's going to be pissed. His friends will also be righteously angry on his behalf, too. I assume. Shit, what if he doesn't come back? What if they keep him? :o ( ... )

P.S. You also got some amazing shots, there. Ripp kissing Ophelia's cheek, and the Olive nightmare strangling shot, for instance. I can't imagine how you got that last one.

Some of the simpler ones are even more striking. The series on the spacecraft: the lighting, and Johnny's expressions in the last couple shots of him... those are beautifully crafted. There are several really good headshots of him earlier, too. Also some really good ones of Ophelia and Ripp. I just want to eat Ripp up! Yum yum.

The scene with Ripp, Buck and Jill was excellent. The way you handled Jill coming in was very subtle, but her reaction was clear. Then what could have been an awkward moment between Buck and Jill was erased by their smiles and genuine love for each other. No Ripp is going to come between those two.

I also enjoyed the Smith family birthday transition series. Those kids are freakin' adorable. I felt for Jenny Smith with her transition... especially knowing she still has twins to raise, perhaps without PT #9 to help.

I'm going to jump ahead to answer this one first ( ... )

We call that nightmare "being hagged." Kirk has it now and then, and he wakes terrified. I don't remember ever having it, myself, though I have dreams where I'm conscious of the room, like you said. And usually those are nightmares (not always, though).

Lipless Johnny. :D

I have to get that camera mod. This coming Wednesday is my last final/project due date, and I've promised myself a good long simming session. I might give Gunmod a road test. :)

Yes, exactly. We say that too. You tell someone that you "got hagged." The most frightening part is that you are trying to wake up, and you are struggling to breath, but you can't move or speak in any way. It the helplessness that is terrifying.

He has no lips. :P I think it's just so cute. If he has children with Ophelia, they'll either get her nice, full lips, or they'll have none at all, just like Johnny.

You'll love the camera mod. It's very fun to work with and it just makes it easier to move around in the rooms (like, you can view the top floor and then lower yourself down into a lower room, which I could never do before). And you can get in so close to everything. It's great. You'll love it.

Good luck on your finals and projects! :)

I had that dream once. I've never heard it called being Hagged or anyathing about a Hag, but oboy... do I remember that feeling. I think I literally stopped breathing. :( I remember it hurt SO BAD to take a breath.

Wow it's been a long time since that's happened! O_o

It's a very frightening dream. Sometimes there isn't any physical figure that you see (which is usually the hag), but you're just paralyzed with your eyes open like that. It's scarier when you actually see the hag though (and if it was Olive Specter, even more so).

I knew that there there was only so much I could conceal the impending abduction, since I'd need to set it up a little ( ... )

I'm finding your readers' reactions to Ripp/Phi really interesting, too. Me, I see it as practically inevitable that Ripp and Phi at least acknowledge their attraction and love for each other. It's not that Phi has no self-control, as someone said. And we've seen that Ripp actually does have a great deal of will power. But the kiss seems so natural, given their emotions and the situation. I'm glad they didn't go further this time, but I won't blame them a bit if they do, later ( ... )

Just wanted to butt in here and say that I agree 100% with you on the Ripp and Ophelia angle. They bring out the best in each other. Johnny could always stay with Jayne. :P
