this series just gets better and better - *applauds*

Thanks so very much. .::blushes and bows::. You're so kind.

James was really in no position to burst into the room and save Jack. He's still in that no man's land of adolescence. The recriminations would be harsh, indeed. You're doing an excellent job of keeping us inside Jamie's head. I can feel how sickened he is by what's going on in the cabin. I wonder if his relationship with Jack can ever be the same now. *applauds*

Thank you kindly for this; it's a consolation to know that James wasn't just snubbing me in Econ class. To think about it, it really would have been strange and out-of-character for him to fly in heroically.

Thanks so very much for your feedback; glad you approve!

I just started reading this series about an hour ago. I absolutely love it. More, please?

[thexyboombang]

Hurrah! A new reader!

.::lavishes you with Rum and Cookies::.

O joy, O rapture unforeseen, it's fabulous to have you along. (So fabulous, in fact, that you have me quoting Gilbert+Sullivan.) There's always more, and knowing that I've got another person on board and following along makes me want to get I-20 written in all the more of a timely fashion (you'll excuse my strange grammar; it's quarter to eight in the morning and I've only drunk a third of my coffee).

At any rate, welcome to my little corner of the 'verse!

(p.s. - You read this far in an hour? Straight? I'm flattered ^.^)

Gah!!and...gah!...

PtT 19!! *jumpglomp* So glad to see it up! And it was amazing as usual! Especially liked the descriptive as poor Jamie sat in a paralyzed shock/panic...wonder what he'll say to Jack next time they talk?

So, what sort of bribery offerings would you like to get you through the next part? Rum? Cookies? Spice cake? Brandied plum pudding? ^_^ I give it all!

[thexyboombang]

yee! *fallover* Aww, thanks. And... I dunno. I thought I knew where this one was going, and yeah... NO.

Just peace and quiet and concentration.
And I've got to sap some music off Vivs...

Just an extra question (who's answer reflects one state of mind...^^)

Which meaning were you thinking of when you used "changer d'avis" as the link? Just curious.

(psst...I think the computer is trying to jinx me...2 days after you mentioned having the flu...now I have one! o_O Evil devious ways of the computer! *glares at the innocently humming system*)

New-learned French phrase, written on the board in French class, meaning given being 'to change one's mind'.

I've only gone through one semester (almost) of French; it's the only meaning I know.

(evil thing! poor darling)

[jenlan]

ah...because the phrase has several meanings:

change one's ways
change one's heart
change one's point of view
or
change one's mind
(as my French teacher said: context is everything and really true in this case ^^; )

[meletor_et_al]

yeah, well, I just needed link text, to be honest, and it was one of the things I had scrawled on my Mad Legal Pad of Ficcing Doom.

But in this case I learned/meant it as 'change one's mind'.
