Update: Edits have been posted in all chapters. I am now wrapping up the edits for my Wolverine story, and then I can continue work on edits for my Texas Chainsaw tale, as well. I am working on updates right after that, but edits are a great way to re-immerse myself in the stories after a long absence from them. Thanks for your patience! - Anon

Hi AgricGirl! Thanks for your review, and I'm glad you enjoyed Mens Rea. For more Severus Snape by me, you might like my story "Divergence" (there's a link to it in this same area on its own thread). Fair warning, that story has a very different sort of Severus, more acidic than romantic, but as canon as possible within my plot. Oh, and I'm always extra pleased when Mens Rea gets read again; it clocks in at over 300 pages printed out, so it takes a bigger chunk of someone's time than my shorter stories - time is a valuable thing for us all, so thank you for spending that time with my tale, and taking the time to review, as well. - Anon

Yep, makes sense to me! :-)

This one makes the most sense to me:DC Verse MoviesDC Verse CartoonsDC Verse Comicswith a second level of Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, etc.Otherwise, you'd have hundreds or more of sections for DC Verse Batman Movies, DC Verse Superman Movies, etc. at the top level. It would be simpler to have many second level topics instead. Also, from a reader searching for stories viewpoint, it would be less muddy to go to "DC Verse Movies" and then look for Batman.

2009-02-08 Hi mancer, Shyann, and SonoftheAtomicBiscuithead! Thanks for reading, posting, and letting me know you enjoy this story. I intended to update (to finish it up in fact) a little sooner than this, but life got in the way. I still intend to wrap it up, though, as soon as I can. I'm going to a convention at the end of this month and preparing for that has delayed my writing schedule as well. Can I say, "Watch this space for news"? Hopefully, soon.... - Anon. 2010-01-11 Hi Razielslittleflamekaat! Thanks for reading and reviewing! I don’t know about sequels, but I would like to detail that missing bit of story someday. We shall see…. Glad you enjoyed it, and think of it this way – you didn’t have to wait while I took forever to update it! LOL. Hugs, Anon.

2008-07-15 Hi Maderine. Equal to the AVP and Predator novels? Awesome. I've read some and that's a wonderful compliment! Thanks! - Anon. 2008-07-15 Hello Midnighteyes, Nymphogurl, & Lizzette! Thanks for reading and reviewing, and I'm glad you're enjoying the story. As I mentioned above, I'm juggling the remaining 4 incompletes in here, and I need to update them too, but I'll return to this one afterward (or during - hey, it's the muse's mood that determines what gets worked on, right?) Either way, I'll finish all four stories, eventually, but I may not have time to do sequels, unfortunately. I'll have to see how my schedule goes.... Everyone, when you get a chance, check out my bio on here for other things I'm up to! Cheers, Anon. 2008-10-24 Hi Legair, I'm actually working on the next update for this story, after finally updating the other ones. Time is hard to find these days, and by now, my readers know I'm not speedy, but I will update, never fear! Thanks for the wonderful feedback, too! But don't kill your nails just yet... the new chapter is underway! - Anon. 2009-01-06 Thanks, Smiley! I just posted edits in most chapters, mainly due to needing to edit the dates and hours of Frank Dedman's reports entries. Also, the new chapter ten is now posted. I will be continuing to work on this story through the two remaining chapters until it is finished. Enjoy, and thanks everyone for your patience! Hugs, Anon.

2008-06-25 Hi Mistress La La & Everyone, The new chapter is now posted, and as usual, I must apologize for taking forever. I've been working on a lot of projects and promoting my book, too, and going to conventions has taken up a lot of my time. It's fun, but it's a lot of hard work! All this and a full-time day job, too. LOL. Thanks for the compliments, though, Mistress La La, and I hope you enjoy the new installment! There will be three more chapters to go on this story, but now I need to work on the updates for the other fan fics I've neglected. Most of my readers know I take forever to update, but I promise not to abandon these stories unfinished. =) - Anon. 2008-07-15 Hi Ar'Shiya! You know me, I take forever.... I have to update my Doc Ock and Wolverine tales next, and then I'll get back to this one, never fear. Hugs! 2008-07-15 Hi Raved Thrad: Your post made my day. I love in-depth analysis! And yes, it's been fun for me to bring things around to the prologue again. It's also a challenge to keep all the clues and bits straight when I finally get to write the parts I've been hinting at since chapter 1! Aaaah! LOL. I felt bad for Dreads with his enemy turning out to be so worthless, but once their leader spelled out a few things about his past, he was sort of destined to be a weasel in the end. Reb got to enjoy her revenge a lot more, which is sort of weird in a way, since Dreads would normally seem to be the more bloodthirsty character of the two. I think it shows that he's grow up quite a bit, though - that he can be reflective (even in a moody/angry way) about it all turning out that way instead of riddled with blind rage. Thanks for this feedback, and kudos for reading the whole story from scratch just to get it all into better perspective prior. Very cool! As for Reb not using the yautja names so much, I have to keep aware that some readers are non-AVP fans who might need a refresher here and there on what things are; beyond that, yes, it helps to keep their POVs distinct (though it wouldn't make sense to avoid yautja terms in Dreads's POV, so Reb got stuck with it, LOL). Hobson and Dedman... hmmm... nope, can't give that stuff away yet! LOL. - Anon.

2007-11-07 Hi Bubbles, I am finally working on this one again, and I'm about halfway through some much-needed edits prior to updating. Hang in there, and thanks for your patience, and for commenting, too! - Anon. 2008-01-14 Hi Brainfear, and Everyone: Thanks for reading and posting feedback! I am pleased to tell you all that I am finally halfway through the new chapter of "Shield Mates". The edits are done too, though I found another one in the last chapter, so I'll have to repost it, but still. I am going to the FX International convention next week to promote my book (in Orlando) and that will probably interrupt updating plans, but if it's not done before Jan. 24, I'll try to finish it up soon afterward. This is chapter 9 I'm working on, and there will be chapters 10, 11, and an epilogue after that. I hope you like the new stuff when it's finished, it's sort of the wind-up to the punch! LOL. - Anon. 2008-03-19 Hi Sagikamikazi, good to see you in here! I just posted over there about my recent delays on updating this story, but I should be able to get back to it shortly. The new chapter is 1/3 of the way done. Working for candy? LOL. Yeap, I am one of those who believe it should build, rather than the three paragraph approach. Mostly though, because I love to write long stories, and if everything good happens too soon, the story ends up short! Thanks for the compliment on the details, too. Writing close to the canon bone (pun unintended) is more work, but it makes me happier in the long run. Hugs, Anon.

2007-06-23 Hello aquamum, ConjuredShadows, Keen, and Wandering Thought! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I am working on the plotting notes for the new chapter 9. This story has only a few chapters left to go, too. It'll be weird to have it finished, eventually. Of course, it also needs a major edit, so I'll get that underway at some point, too. But thanks again for letting me know you like it, and I will update as soon as I can. Hugs, Anon. 2007-09-25 Hello Raved Thrad, and thank you for this intricate and thoughtful review! I do love writing this story, and it is one of three I hope to update next before time stretches too much more. After those (actually a top 4 stories here) are updated, I will try to get around to updating the ones I haven't touched in quite a while, as well. ("What?" You may ask, "A longer hiatus than on this story?" Oh, yes, I'm sorry to say - some of them have been waiting longer than six months). I do apologize, but as some know and some do not, I was busy finishing my original novel, which I am pleased to say is now completed. I will be working on getting it to the presses for (hopefully) a late October release, but in the midst of all this, I will also be updating my neglected fan fiction. I greatly enjoyed reading your thoughts on the story, and yes, I like a stripped down, few frills approach, though I have enjoyed many diverse ways of writing AVP fics among my friends. For me, though, as a writer, I tend to be a realist and a stickler for canon in as many aspects as possible. Naturally, the main glaring offshoot of that is the sexual relationship being portrayed (in this and my other stories). Most fan fic, let's face it, is to get together the people we want to see together, even canon enemies, or the yet more impossible pairings of monster/victim. But once I eek past that factor, I try to re-introduce as much canon fact as I can research. As for Reb getting really good rather fast, I wanted to hurry up the storyline a bit (I know, an awful thing to do, let alone admit to). Reason? I have a habit (good or bad, according to point of view and how much time I have) of turning fan fiction tales into novel-length stories. I love novel-length, it lets you seriously spread out and explore! But it also takes over your life, and I have to balance all of these, plus my original works. So, hoping Dreads is a good enough teacher, and Reb an avid enough learner, and my readers forgiving sorts, I hurried the training stuff up a bit. And chiefly, the reason the human Marines thought she wasn't a great fighter was because she was wild and reckless, with little thought for others, or even herself. One could call this a yautja trait, at least for the young, in-training sort. Dreads is young, but he's had to age quick and brutal, so he's lost most of that brash impulsiveness. He is the main reason Reb learns to tone it down and fight "safer", at least for her side! LOL. This toning down hones her natural scrapping skills to a finer edge. And that is against Aliens! I'm afraid hunting humans might bore her unless she's willing to hunt her fellow Marines. They are about the only folks holding a candle to the yautja in this genre, if you're fresh out of Aliens. Okay, I must run - but thank you again for your review, and I will attempt to update before too much longer. - Anon.

2006-09-10 Hi bodydouble, Thanks for reading and reviewing! I am trying to get back to working on this one, but there are still others that need their turn first. =) I try to update as regularly as possible, and give equal time to all of my "works in progress", so having just posted a new chapter on "Divergence" (A Severus Snape tale), I need to work on my Wolverine and Doc Ock new chapters next, and one of my Rammstein stories, too. Then it'll be AVP's turn again. Of course, the muse is subject to mood and inspiration, so you can't always stick to schedules. We shall see... Thanks again for reading, and taking the time to review my story. Hugs, Anon. 2006-09-21 Hi aquamum, thanks for reading and reviewing! Especially at work! LOL. I'm about to post an update on my X-Men fan fic, and then I'll be working on three other updates, including this one. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long, but I try to update all of my works in progress in equal turns. I hope you don't get in trouble for reading at work! But it is a fine compliment that you would choose to spend that time with my story. It means a lot! - Anon. 2006-11-07 Dawnoftime, I'm sorry you feel that way, but thanks for reading all the same. I wouldn't call myself a literary genius either, but hey... to each their own, right? And just for the record, I like sentence fragments. I do try to keep them out of the narration in some stories, but when the narrator is also the POV character, the way to achieve "tone" or "voice" is to have the narration similar to the way that character thinks. This also lets a reader "get into the character's head". As for fragments in dialogue, most of us really talk like that, so therefore characters of mine will too. Otherwise, you'd have characters who sound like walking grammar books, and a Marine and a predator wouldn't talk like that. Just a thought to keep in mind. On excesses of description, most Sci-Fi does that, since fans of it tend to like it. I'm not sure why it didn't hold your interest, no complaints before or since. Can you give me a reason why? Perhaps it's just a fandom (or entire genre) that doesn't interest you? Again, sorry my brand of peanut butter wasn't yours, but that's why there's lots of brands out there for us all, right? - Anon.

The following are my replies to reader reviews (I didn't want the answers to your questions and comments to disappear): 2006-07-26 Hello to AntiDolorifico, Sara, tasha, Chancelor22, angelpred, caz, Anon, and scar’s lady! Thank you all, so much, for your compliments and kind words. It means a lot to know what you all think of my work. I have been taking a break from working on my novel to update this story, as well as my X-Men story, "Shattered Silence". The new AVP chapter (7) is 3/4 finished now, and I hope it will be done and posted soon, maybe before the weekend is over. I appreciate your patience, too. I'm juggling a full-time job, overtime, and my novel work with these stories, plus what passes for my social life (don't worry - people bring me food). =) But this group has been so good to me, and I thank you all for that! Hugs, Anon. PS: I see I'm not the only "Anon" in these parts! Haha! Pleased to meet you, fellow spirit! 2006-08-20 Thank you, thank you, AntiDolorifico, PoolGirl, and Larissa! This is the first time I've been online since Aug. 10th! Yikes! I went to the Horrorfind Convention in Baltimore, and then, the day after I got home, a friend offered to improve my PC for free, so of course I said, "yes, please", and I just got it back last night. Had to wait until this morning to reintall my internet, and so I feel like Gilligan just newly picked up off the island! (Dating myself with that analogy, but oh well...). But thanks again for the reviews. This story will eventually be about ten to twelve chapters long before it's completed (it's already plotted out), and I will try to get cracking on chapter 8 as I can. I have several other folks clamoring for updates on other fan fics, too, and 3 1/4 more chapters to go on my novel, but I shall be attempting to juggle them all. And I apologize for the awful cliffhanger on chapter 7, but hey... the silly thing was already nearly 30 pages long, and I try to keep them around 21, generally. =) Hugs to all, and I hope updates on this won't be too long a wait... Anon. 2006-09-06 Hello Brilliant story! Thanks for that great review, and such high praise! I've actually been slaving away on my work in progress Severus Snape fic, in tandem with my X-Men/Wolverine fic at the moment, but this one will have a turn again, soon. I haven't had the time to wander about in here just to read that much, though. Too busy updating and working on fan fics and novel alike. *huff, pant, puff* But I guess you could call grammar and punctuation and such a hobby of mine, if not an obsession. LOL. I was an English major, so I guess it shows? But thanks for noticing it, it takes a lot of time to proof and catch boo-boos, but I want it right and correct, as much as I can have it. And it is rarely commented on, too, so I appreciate it a lot! - Anon.

Title: AVP: Shield Mates Author: AnonGrimm Summary: A human woman is found and held for questioning concerning a rash of brutal murders, but she appears to have forgotten that she is human. A ragged journal is found with her, begun in Standard English, but finished in an alien language. The key to translating the entries is found in the front of the journal, and the translator reports on the strange tale recorded there, even as the murders mysteriously start up again.

2008-06-26 How about a poll while I'm at it? I have two versions of the ending in my head: in one Amarie dies, in the other she lives. I'm not promising to tell anyone which one I'm going with, I was just curious about what you all thought. Opinions? (I may do both as an "alternate ending" thing, as both endings intrigue me). 2009-02-08 Hello ayame, Aealyn, and Shyann! Sorry I'm taking so long to update (as usual) but I will, never fear. I'm trying to finish my AVP story (and go to work, and promote my novel, etc, haha) but once AVP is done, I'll get back to this one, as well as my Wolverine and Doc Ock stories. Thanks for your patience, and for reading! - Anon. 2009-10-17 Hi bignsassy818 (and Everyone). My AVP story is completed now, and I'm working on edits on my Wolverine story. Two chapters left on that one, and I may work on finishing it first. This Texas Chainsaw tale has about six chapters to go (I'm working on edits for it, too) and my Doc Ock tale has about three chapters left to go. In any event, I will finish these last three incomplete stories, never fear. As always, thank you all for your patience! - Anon.

2008-06-26 Hi Freya! I really need to update my other fan fics before I get back to this one again. Talk about neglecting my stories - those other two haven't been updated in months by now, probably. On the other hand, I miss Tommy and I want to start work on chapter 10 NOW instead. LOL. So it's a dilemma. Maybe I'll just try to work on them all at once. Thanks for the wonderful commentary! My only excuse for Amarie "leaping" a bit quick on wanting Tommy, is that I personally find Leatherface hideously sexy and perhaps shortened my usual "wait a bit to get to the sexy stuff" discipline. LOL. As for Amarie's "snap moment", that started early. I guess I may have made it too subtle in the story, but she vaguely alludes to her foster father raping her at a younger age. His abuse is the reason she didn't mind running off with Frankie in general, sort of a "anything is better than this" notion. She was happy with Frankie because he was nice to her, and taught her that sex could be enjoyable. However, all that was while his girlfriend was away, and when she returned, she was pissed. He's a jerk because he didn't stand up to her, and let her give Amarie to the three bikers who tossed her about, gang-raped her, and tormented her. Psychologically speaking (keeping in mind I'm a layman, not a doctor), people who are sexually abused as children often grow up to be very sexually active. They seem to go to the extreme one way or another, even though an observer might think they would grow up to "hate sex" or avoid it due to the abuse. That of course is not true for everyone, but it is documented often in the research I've done. That is why Amarie is into playing with Tommy so soon. Plus, if the guy who you thought was going to protect you (Frankie) throws you to the dogs, it's natural to look for a bigger, badder guy who can smash him and his friends for you later. =) I have gone into editing mode on this story and "fixed" the phonetics of the dialogue. These folks are from Texas, and since I am from Texas, they are going to start talking with an accent. I love typing accents, and I don't know why I didn't do it that way in the first place (maybe my inner grammarian got hold of my muse and blackmailed her or something). I don't have time to post the accent edits right now, though, so maybe I'll go over it once more with your suggestions in mind and see if something could stand a tweaking. I can't promise anything will change, but if it doesn't, it'll be because I just didn't have any time to do it. Don't worry about offending me, though, I love hearing what you think, and suggestions to help believability are always welcome! Heck, writing is all in one's head, untested, until someone else reads it and tells us where it might be off-kilter. And yes, my AVP story is basically alien sex, but I promise it has a plot. LOL. So when I get a chance, I'll post the accent edits, and then get back to updating again, here, there, everywhere. Oh, and this story has more chapters to go yet, I forget how many, but it's a few. I'll try not to take forever at it, too. - Anon.

2007-09-24 Hello to roketto, Karu, and cherrydarling, and again, *blush* sorry for taking forever to update. The new chapter 9 is up (there will probably be 6 more to go now before this tale is done) and I hope you all enjoy it. I did have a great excuse this time though: I finished my novel! WooHoo! Getting it all ready to become a book is a LOT of work, too, but hey - the writing is done! LOL. When it's out, I'll mention it in my profile, rules allowing. For now, thank you so much for reading and reviewing - I missed Tommy while I was working on the book, so he finally claimed my attention again for an update. I hope the next one won't take so long, but of course, all my other "in progress" stories need updates as well. Again, thanks so much for hanging in there with me! - Anon. 2007-11-07 Hi Capt Davey Jones Lover & Kate (and everyone), Glad you liked it! I've recently finished a few other fan fic stories, so now there are only four "in progress" tales left: Chainsaw, AVP, Wolverine, & Doc Ock. Four should be simpler to juggle, too. I'm working on AVP at the moment, and then the other two will get a turn, and then I'll get back to this one. Thanks for your patience, and for reading and reviewing! - Anon. 2008-03-19 Hi mukimuki2, Thanks for reading and posting! I have to update my AVP story first, then I'll get back to the other three, including this one, all of which I'm trying to be better at updating more often until they are finished. Lots going on, work is busy, and so is the novel writing, but I won't forget my fanfics. Thanks for the compliments, too! I think Leatherface is becoming one of my favorite monsters ever, in a trio with Pinhead and Voorhees. And like them, he's a real challenge to write in a canon style (or as much as possible, anyway). I'll get back to this story as soon as I can! - Anon.

2007-06-23 Hi Shalimar, HardcoreHorrorChick, and Dobby! I'm back briefly just to pop in and say that the next chapter update is almost finished. I have Amarie and Luda Mae's POV sections finished, and only Tommy's left to write. My work internet blocks this sort of thing, naturally, and I've been without internet at home since June 15th. Yesterday, I picked up a USB thingy for my laptop (am not a techie, lol) so here I am! I didn't want ya'll to worry that I had disappeared, so I thought I'd let you know the new chapter is coming soon, and will hopefully be finished by next weekend. Until then, thanks so much for your patience, and as always, for reading and reviewing! Shalimar: Yeah, I love a challenge. That's sort of what fan fic is for, beyond honing one's writing chops. One day, I'd like to work up the courage to do a Hannibal Lecter story. He sort of intimidates me with all that knowledge of fine things (which I do not possess and therefore would have a lot of research to do). Plus, I feel that Thomas Harris is a genius, and making a fan fic sound canon seems like big shoes to fill! Ah, someday.... =) But hey, I managed Pinhead, and that worried me, too. Bon chance, right? LOL.

2007-05-08 To anyone who may have actually read my rambles, can you tell that I LOVE to discuss Leatherface? LOL. I enjoy responding to reviews; and also, I believe that when someone takes the time to comment, they deserve to be acknowledged. No author would like it if readers never took time to review, right? I'll compromise, though - I'll try for mass response whenever feasible. =) And thanks for reading the story! Hugs to All, Anon. 2007-05-22 Hey, Shalimar! *Hugs* Thanks for reading this one! Especially if you aren't even into Leatherface.... =) I shall admit that Amarie is so quick to accept because it suits the plot. LOL. However, it started bugging me, too, so I've been working on giving her reasons for that. Most of it will be revealed later on, of course, but it's largely to do with her previous "family" which was abusive and loveless, and the whole influence of the bikers, who weren't real nice nor upstanding role models. *evil smirk* And no, I have nothing against bikers. LOL. The movie chose the villains, right? I won't ride a Harley, though: I'm dangerous enough behind the wheel of a car, but still, they are awesome critters.... In any event, Amarie kills her enemies out of survival needs, and then the Hewitts sort of inadvertantly help along the maturation of the idea that killing is okay. Yikes, right? But that's why it's a Leatherface fic. =) However, you hit the nail on the head about Amarie: the Hewitts offer her acceptance and love. She's so hungry for that, she wouldn't care if they were the worst degenerates on the face... of the... earth...? Heh. Okay, they kind of are. Scrap that, but you know what I mean. LOL. I personally like the fact that even though she knows Thomas isn't her brother, and she has made him her lover, she still refers to him as her brother. I almost changed that, but decided not to. This is not a sane chick, basically, in her own right. Calling him her brother implies a bond stronger than a lover, and that's what she craves most. Thomas, of course, thinks of her as "sister" because that's what his family told him she was. I don't think he thinks much further than that. Although, having made the transition from thinking of her as meat to family, he never looks back. As for making the difficult work, thanks! I took this one on like I did my Jason Voorhees and Hellraiser fics: just to see if I could pull it off. From the perspective of a non-fan-of-Leatherface, it is excellent to know you're enjoying it. I did start writing chapter 9 of this story at lunch today, due to needing to clean my eyeballs from the novel for a bit. I need to finish up a Rammstein fic first, but this one is 2/3rds done for the new chapter. Thanks again for reviewing in here, too. And I promise not to keep AVP waiting too long, either. I get to missing my various characters after a bit.... =) Hugs! - Anon.

2007-05-08 Hi Akito Souma, As for Tommy and the subject of rape, though: how can one rape, if they don't know what sex is? In my plot, Tommy doesn't even know what the real mechanics of it are. He thinks his uncle is wrestling or fighting with his victim, (a very common child perception) and when he sees the blood (her blood, of course) he thinks she hurt his uncle and made him bleed. The idea that his uncle is the harmer is quite beyond him. The woman is meat, his uncle is family - there is no contest in his brain whose side he's on. Within my plot, his family tells him over and over not to hurt Amarie. But it's her teaching him new pleasure without fear that turns her from meat into family in his mind. Those two things had to go hand in hand, though, because without his family protecting her, she never would have lived long enough to touch him. Would Leatherface, in general, commit rape? Very likely, but only if he already knew how sex is performed. In most cases, I would agree with you, he would rape and never form an attachment. Of course, the fun of creating a plot like this, is to let him "get the girl". I've tried to accomplish that while remaining as true to canon as plot would allow, but let's face it - this story would never happen in canon. Leatherface kills, period. However, for those of us who have a spot of a crush on him, the plot amuses. Thank you, though, for saying their romance is not altogether unfeasible. It may bend canon, but it's a darn fun way to bend it. =) You have challenged me to improve the psychology stuff, however, and I thank you for that, too. It may be "only fan fic", but I care a great deal about all of my "kids", even the ones I can't publish, and no effort to improve them is ever wasted. Oh - and I'm thinking outside the box? Sweet! I've never been told that, and it's most kind of you to say so. I hope you will keep reading (whenever I manage to update, right? LOL). Hugs, Anon. (*Note: had to split that up, it's too long for the post limitations).

2007-05-08 Hi Akito Souma, Now, you mentioned problems with characterization, but you didn't mention with which character? Keeping in mind this is fan fic, and many authors choose to utterly alter how a character behaves, I figure I got my characters pretty true to canon. In the case of Leatherface, of course, we're all once again guessing. Assuming he was the one you meant, though, let's mull him over a minute. The guy doesn't talk, but if he can understand words and orders said to him, then he would have to be capable of thought in similar words. He isn't going to think like a Yale professor, of course, but he would be able to think in a childlike manner, and with similar points of reference as his family uses to him. Also, if you're going to write a section of a story in his POV, you have to have something to play with, or it falls flat. I actually didn't include his POVs in the first draft, because I worried it would be too hard to pull it off. Then my adoration (yes, I'm arguably a weirdo, LOL) for this character won out, and I simply wanted to see if I could manage a POV for Thomas Hewitt that I could live with and possibly enjoy. As it is, his bits have become my favorites, in most of the chapters, because the movies don't let us into his head, and it's got to be a facinating place. This is merely my attempt at it, and of course, others may do it better, but so far I haven't found anyone else getting into his POV. In any event, I'd really like to know whose characterization you thought was problematic. Keep in mind that I'm taming down Sheriff Hoyt (in the raw, there would be no rating that could contain him), and due to my plot, Luda Mae had to become more sympathetic than her canon self.

2007-05-08 Hello EndOfExistence, AntiDolorifico! First of all, I should apologize to everyone (Again, you say? I'm afraid so; LOL)for updates taking me a while. I promise, no fan fic of mine shall be abandoned, but I have to give time to my original work first. I'm in serious crunch time, and will be for the summer, but I will try to update as I can in various stories, including this one. The bottom line is, of course, while I love my fan fics, you have to work on the one you can legally sell more, right? The upside is, when I'm done and the manuscript is finished and sent, I can get back to all of my fan fics at leisure and polish each one up to a fresh shine. 2007-05-08 Hi Akito Souma, I rarely get feedback as, um, intense as yours. =) Most of it is constructive, and I thank you for that very much, it is appreciated. However, please be kind and remember that I am not a pyschology major, I am merely a fan of it. I have, on the other hand, researched BPD rather extensively, and I still believe it to be spot on for Leatherface, and in particular, for the Thomas Hewitt of my plot. Naturally, it's all guessing on our part, as this is fan fic, and an utterly fictional character to boot. The ultimate would be to ask Tobe Hooper for his opinion, but as he had to cancel his appearance at the last convention I attended (Fear Fest, in Dallas), I didn't get the chance. I'll have the opportunity to ask Mr. Gunnar Hansen at Screamfest in October, though, and if I can form a coherent sentence in his presence this time, LOL, I'll see what he thinks about it. They are among the true experts, after all. In general or specifically, though, what do you think would be a good diagnosis for Thomas Hewitt? Beyond that, as for the dialogue between the doc and the cop, I can't get super technical, as I am boring some folks and amusing only a few with those opener sections, as some of my other kind reviewers have pointed out. Seriously, though, I appreciate the bored ones for putting up with it and quietly hope the amused ones remain amused with it. Also, the diagnosis my doctor makes isn't a strict diagnosis. He mentions that it is a guess, to answer the cop's question, and tells the man he'd have to study Hewitt at length to make a real determination.

2007-03-15 Hello Capt Davy Jones Lover, Amaya Rosalynn, Jess, AntiDolorifico, Zidane. Thanks for all of the reviews while I was out! I am sorry for the delay, plus getting back up to speed took a while. As for the little prologues at the start of the chapters, they are there because it's a great way for me to impart "what may come to be" as well as insights into characters, especially the psycho-analysis stuff on Thomas. There are clues to what's in store in there, too. But for those who don't like it, feel free to skip it. I usually have something at the start of my chapters, in most stories, whether it's poetry, information, lyrics, or whatever. I think it gives it a nice segue before the action starts again, so that's largely why I do it. Also, I don't plan to stop doing it, so if it bugs you, I won't mind if you just jump to the action. And yes, I like Tommy's internal innocent thoughts. Raised as he was, I can't imagine that he'd grasp things the same way others would. So far, my favorite is his equating BJs to puppies needing milk to grow strong. 50% of me laughs at how silly that is, and the other 50% is sad for him over how confused he really is. Dichotomy, anyone? LOL. Again, thanks for the reviews, and the patience. It is appreciated. Hugs, Anon. 2007-03-29 Thanks, Dawn! And here you go - chapter 8 is up! Hope you enjoy it!

2007-01-24 Hi Capt Davy Jones Lover, Thanks for reading and reviewing! Have you seen my Jason Vorhees story? It's called "Catastasis", in this same movies section. Leatherface is fascinating, and I'm utterly obsessed, personally. LOL. Chapter 7 will be finished soon, too. Hugs, Anon. 2007-01-31 Hi insane8veggies, thanks for writing, and for letting me know you enjoy the story. I just posted edits in all chapters, and the new chapter 7. Hope you like it! - Anon.

2007-01-02 Hello Adelaide, and thanks for reading and reviewing! It means a lot to know you think so highly of my TCM tale. It's been a blast to write this one, as I am quite unapologetically enamoured of Leatherface, and obsessed with all movies in which he appears. I do like the original Gunnar Hansen film, and #3 (with the marvelous Ken Foree and Viggo M.) but the remakes are my favorite. I'm counting the days until "The Beginning" is out on DVD on 1/16/07. But thanks again for letting me know you like the story. Reviews feed the muse! Hugs, Anon. 2007-01-11 Hey, Anon! And Hello SC! Glad you found my sick little "Chainsaw" tale! Chapter 6 is halfway completed, as we speak. I'm hoping to have it done and posted at least by or during the weekend. We'll have "smut" eventually, too, but Amarie has to take it slow, or Thomas might twist her head off of her neck. LOL. I'm so pleased you all enjoy this one, though. And thanks for letting me know it! Hugs, (the other) Anon. =) 2007-01-19 Hey, AntiDolorifico! Thanks! I actually just posted a few edits in chapter six, mostly minor stuff. Chapter 7 is moving along well, but it's sharing time with AVP and my novel at present. However, since this story is my real heavy obsession right now (I even get to meet Andrew Bryniarski at a con in March), I doubt if the new chapter will take too long to finish. So glad you like my interpretation of Thomas, too. Chapter 7's leader section (the chat with the cop and the doc) explores the theory that Thomas suffers from borderline personality disorder in greater depth. It's a bit thick with the psycho-speak, but there's a lot of good info in there. This disorder is fascinating! Hugs, Anon.

The following are my replies to reader reviews (I didn't want the answers to your questions and comments to disappear): 2006-11-14 Thanks, AntiDolorifico! LOL... Yes, Leatherface is a cutie. And it's possible I need therapy for that, but hey.... I went to see "TCM: The Beginning", and it burned a hole in my brain. Starting this fic up was the only way to work toward recovery. But never fear, I'm plugging away at AVP, too. As I said in the title block on this one, though, I've sort of challenged myself with this story to see how gross I could get. Judging by the notes in the current plot outline, I'm going to succeed in that aim fairly well. *evil smirk* Thanks for reading my newest creation! Hugs, Anon. 2006-12-31 LOL. Your welcome, silken-skies! Thanks for the kudos, too! Actually, I watched the movie (The Beginning) again in the dollar theatre, and actually brought a notebook in to take notes. =) I think the other people might have thought I was nuts, but oh well. The notes inspired edits, so I'm about to post edits in all chapters. No huge changes, except maybe Luda Mae's name (the movie credits spell it that way, and so shall I, LOL). In addition, I've written two more chapters, and they will be posted shortly. Thanks again for reading and reviewing, and I'm so pleased you like my sick little tale. I did mention in the title block that I'd be trying to see how gross I could be - the new chapters put that to the test in a few places. Hope you like it! - Anon. 2007-01-02 Hey, AntiDolorifico! I'm so happy you like this story... sorry about the cliffhangers. LOL. The chapters here are designed to be short, too, mostly because I wanted it to be fast-paced and sort of reckless in tone, but also because my 8 other "in progress" fan fics tend to have 15 to 20+ page chapters, and they are much harder to keep up with because of their sheer length. (But yes, "Shield Mates" is also being worked on. Chapter 8 is 1/4 finished). My novel is close to being finished, I hope. I'm working on the wind-up to the end of the current chapter now, and there are two more plotted out after that. I may add an epilogue, or just put that stuff at the end of the last chapter, but I haven't decided yet. I'll have to check with the powers that be, too, and see what my rep. thinks is best. She's got the business-end know-how, after all. =) Thanks for the in-depth review, too! And it's true: Leatherface would be the ultimate virgin, and therefore extra fun to get him a girlfriend. In character, of course. LOL. Huge HUGS, Anon.
