Praying for your cousin, my fellow Virginian!

DEFINITELY take your time. This next chapter is going to be very delicate to write unless, of course, some emergency comes up and the threesome goes out the door. I'm a bit torn between wanting it to happen and not wanting it but I know if you go ahead with it you'll do the threesome and all it's potential repercussions justice.

You also forgot to mention the song, "What About Everything". The band is Carbon Leaf from Richmond, Virginia so I'm kinda thinking the story takes place in VA, MD or PA with the cabin in WV. I grew up in Northern Virginia so the stores and scenery are all pretty familiar. Great chapter. I was hoping this was coming at some point and I know Joe will do it justice.

At least we know where Max gets his creepiness from.

They all go shopping and Max starts checking out shoes!

Emma takes one in the face, eh? Hoping it's from a "Love Gun" and not one that fires bullets.

Well then this will be an EXTREMELY short book unless body armor, nanities and Legion save the day.

I noticed some similarities between Rhona and Nichole in Being More Social as well. The big difference is I LIKE Nichole but can't stand Rhona. I hope, at some point, Jack gets tired of her crap and asks her point blank why she acts like an entitled c*** and if she needs help pulling that stick out of her ass. That should be an interesting conversation.

Yep, quite a bit was PACKED into that finale. Looking forward to next season.

Sheesh, you guys are so morbid. I was just hoping Nadi was simply going into labor right away and Cat would deliver the baby right there on the gym floor. Now I have all kinds of crap going through my head thanks to your evil minds. Waiting on the first chapter of SITG is already feeling like forever. THIS is why I drink!

Mrs. Magus was proofreading? It thinking she may be doing a rewrite. I'll have a dilemma even once it's posted. Do I read it right away or do I wait so I won't have a long wait between the cliffhanger and Chapter 1 of SITG? If he's gonna be gone a couple weeks or more, the cliffhanger suspense is gonna drive me nuts but so will not reading the latest chapter. Decisions, decisions...

Becoming?

You really ARE evil!

She's one of us, alright! Good chapter but it seemed a little short, or maybe it's just me hating to see it end. Either way, I can't wait for the GITG finale but I will ask for a huge favor. Don't make us wait too long for Chapter 1 of SITG. I don't have a lot of hair left as it is and pulling a clump out every day you make me wait is just mean!

Really enjoying this conversation and speculation. Anything I was planning to add has already been said. We seem to have a "hive mind" similar to, dare I say it, Legion. All newcomers, you WILL be assimilated. (OK, maybe we're the Borg).

Definitely sounds like multiple chapters to me.

Tail, Jazz and Cat having special abilities makes me think Legion might have something to do with it.

As always, well done! Love the parts with Stacey and Kara but disappointed you didn't describe their reactions to watching Max and Emma since your descriptions in those scenes are always top notch. Really hoping you're going to include that in the next chapter. The rest was kinda heartbreaking but really looking forward to Turner getting his just desserts.

I don't find the sex gratuitous at all. This IS a love story after all and I find it adds to the storyline and isn't just there for its own sake. Besides, teenage hormones are kinda essential to the story.

It will be kinda hard to cut Nadi and Becca out completely since Nadi is carrying Max's baby. I have no problem with them fading into the background but they'll have to come back to the forefront at some point, even if it's briefly, when Nadi delivers.

I think we have enough variety to go around but hey, it's your story. We're just along for the ride.

LALALALA *fingers in ears* Don't give away the plot!

Actually, I wasn't hoping the brother would be paired off with Cat and the Twins. When I said playmate, I didn't actually mean it in a sexual context but more like having a boy to rule over, train in combat or make a minion out of. Basically, just wondering how he fits into all of this. Perhaps he and Kara BOTH move in with Stacy's family, otherwise they end up as Max's wards.

For me, Petra just adds to the uniqueness of Max's life. It's easy for me to see how much she loves both Max and Emma and having both male and female sex organs gives her a perspective that I never really saw with Becca. While most of us LOVE the ideal of a loving, monogamous relationship, the reality is that humans are capable of being in love with more than one person at the same time. We're wired that way but not taught that way. Just my perspective....

EGADS! Multiple cliffhangers within the same story is just plain MEAN! I figured the Turners were bad but a cage?!!! *shudder* While I hoped Kara and Stacy would end up together, having the little brother in the mix certainly makes things harder to predict. Not sure how old he is but perhaps a new playmate for Cat and the Twins....or maybe something else entirely. Now that the Shadow group is being revealed to Max, I can't wait to see the start of Book 3. Snakes in the Grass DEFINITELY seems like an appropriate title. Great chapter but WRITE FASTER, dammit!!!
