Thank you! I'm hoping to sart strong and end strong too! LOL  Aw, I'm sure you will.  ;D If I had to make a guess I'd say it's Sinbad. He's usually been right about poeple (except Alana, but think he's really been less sceptical about her just because Doubar had such a huge crush on that woman) so yeah, I believe that "Rosy" will man trouble indeed. x) Sounds like a perfect combination to me. ;D Aww, she does? That's awesome. But that must also mean that the poor guy didn't know about her whereabouts and whether she was safe for such a long time. The poor thing.  But then again he sure will be overjoyed to see her again. Aw, sure, take your time. I know what it's like after all.  Plus, I'm sure it'll totally be worth the wait. *hugs back* |

@ Fire, I'm glad you liked it! I had that idea floating around for a good long while, but I never quite got to writinging it; then I found DL and I got the jolt of inspiration that I needed to write it! Well, I won't say he contacted her directly...he DID contact that crew through Bryn once or twice...I might have taken a few author liberties with that one, but yea, DimDim did make an appearance or two for a few short minutes. Thank you very much! I had always felt that Sinbad would desire to see her again...whether as a lover or a friend...however the show MIGHT have gone on; was really, real. He cares very much for his crew and Maeve is a member of his crew. So even if Maeve and Sinbad never became lovers that S1-ers wanted, he at least, would have desired to see her again to make sure she was alright! [quoteDoubar feeling both frustrated and helpless before his brother’s pain. How Sinbad acknowledge all Doubar has given and sacrificed for him. I couldn’t agree more with your interpretation, I think it totally matches both brothers and couldn’t sound more realistic.[/quote] Brothers are equally dangerous and supportive of one another! It's the brotherly code! LOL But, yea, I totally agree; they definately have each other's backs! Ah! Well, I meant that he didn't sleep with the girls (with the exception of Shirez), but made it LOOK-LIKE he did. To me, they just talked and kissed a few times or two and messed with each others hair and clothes...again to make it look-like something happened. An unconscious one on my part, if you got that from the fic; it wasn't totally in the forefront of my mind, but yea! That could definately be a reason why she didn't fully open herself up to Sinbad! Nice catch! [quoteSinbad’s challenge waas particularly interesting when you show how each of the crew CHOSE to stay with him, even if it meant leaving loved ones or other life possibilities behind them. That was very clever of you ! I never really noticed it until now, but now I couldn’t agree more on your interpretation.[/quote] Thank! I thought it was a nice plotline to pick up on! I always thought that Sinbad might have felt badly for the crew (Firouz and Rongar and Doubar) who left behind another life to be on his ship and in his crew. One of my favorite fanon phrases! *ponders* Or is it truly canon??? I don't rightly remember.... You'll have to wait and see... Well, I think you might be surprised...but to give you a clue...Maeve's father and uncles were proud that she gardnered such attentions, true, but were even MORE prouder of the fact that she was focused on her Priestess' studies than men! LOL **Every father's dream...their little girl growing up into a strong independant woman who is confident in herself first and then needing a man second! LOL** That I can tell you without any real danger to the fic! ;D You'll have to wait and see!! @doubar, Like I said before....*giggles* And yea, poor Prince Eamon, he's been in a hopeful heartbreak for a couple of years now....poor guy.... |

@ Rongs, well i just find your thread here now so want to tell about my thoughts i already post on ff.net but i guess we can discuss it freely ;D so ff: The Return of Maeve on fanfiction.net ''So here I’m my princess as I promised first as I told you I read the whole fiction before and I liked it so much,, but now I’m planning to tell what I’m thinking about each chapter And yeah I can see it’s mainly focused on the emotions, feelings and the thoughts of the characters than the dialogues, well I like both,,, and I find your description is very expressive So about the first chapter: I like how he is blaming himself about dangering his crew,, still hesitating between was it his fault or wasn’t it,, part of him says it wasn’t it was Scratch who tricked him yet he can’t stop blaming himself about him believing him and doubting at his faithful master words,,, also how he tries to act normally with everyone hiding his feeling with guilt,, so touching indeed, Also really like how he was thinking about Bryn’s mystery,, and him feeling somehow responsible to solve it and help her with sincerity,, and the comparison he did between her and Maeve ‘good move because I myself can’t keep myself from doing such comparison all the time, not that I’m against any of them as I like each one in her own way or character but I can’t keep seeing some similarity yet some other so differences between them’, Now his memories of Maeve and both together invading him,, really love this part how he miss her and how you describe it perfectly,, such a delicate lovely yet torturing memories, and yeah he looks like selfish but no one can blame him, it’s very natural when someone is deeply in love he should feel like that, and actually him thinking like that is so non-selfish from him Very lovely how again he felt guilty towards Caipra for not reaching Dim-Dim till the moment that he’s worry how would he face her and so clever how he hided from Bryn the other reason of his fear of bringing Maeve memories so painfully while meeting the old friend, Love how Doubar is feeling his brother’s deep feelings to Maeve and the pain inside him because of the separation,, and him well understanding the inside of Sinbad in spite of the later hiding his thoughts and feelings cleverly and Doubar trying to relieving him a little bit from his suffering yet he knew he can’t And Doubar appreciating Dermott presence was nice move,, we all can see that during the show progress however never mentioned clearly good move here Really like how you end the first chap by the opening of the next ‘the question’ really like the first chapter,, '' |

And here is Chapter 2: ;D "Doubar’s feelings and thoughts become more and more clear and deep here,, really like his determination to confront his younger brother after trying to go smoothly with him but Sinbad never give him this chance as he carrying now this awful new feeling of guilt, poor captain I really felt pity for him,, but still good move of Doubar,, he had enough with his brother stubbornness and isolation and can’t understand why he still insist to hide his pain while he has everyone around him really care for him and more than ready to listen to him and help him by every mean they could,, however Doubar’s words are still hard and I couldn’t keep myself feeling the pain in the moment when his words hit Sinbad hardly you know that part “Sinbad's eyes slammed shut.” My heart is ached for him You see Sinbad got a point here,, yeah he has the right to fight alone in his own battle, but should consider that no one is perfect and he might need help from around or at least some support to be stronger in his own fight, Love your comparison between Sinbad/Maeve relationship and Sinbad/Doubar one nice move here OMG this part of Sinbad reproaching himself with everything he did/didn’t do in his life IS JUST AMAZING,, his guilt feeling had just blown up,, you made it perfectly as you described his pain and sorrow that I felt it myself, and now he made a bill with everything/everybody he passed by I’m so taken by your words and this scene,, AND AGAIN Doubar ability to read inside his brother soul from his eyes ….. WOW like this so much,, he read every single thought of his brother perfectly amazing here And yeah I’m totally agree about 'The eyes are the windows to the soul' ,, that’s SO TRUE. And hehe laughed at Sinbad when been thumped by Doubie even in the middle of this touching sad scene,, Finally our captain surrender this sincere conversation between the two brothers is lovely Can’t stop laughing at this: "One was enough to swear me off children for life!" even Sinbad couldn’t OMG those are priceless: "You, Sinbad, you, are the child I always wanted when I grew to understand what fatherhood meant. I never wanted for another. I had you,” You got that idea I never thought about ,, Doubar as feeling Sinbad was always his son more than being brother never think about needing more in his life,, that’s so convincing Actually brilliant Dermott’s pain and worry about Sinbad and him feeling useless to not be able to help him is great, and also this comparison between Dermy/Maeve and Sinbad/Doubar situations, Doubar’s help relieving Sinbad guilt gave hope to Dermy to do the same with Maeve And you made here Dermy the elder brother Like the background you gave to Rumina/Maeve/Dermy trio And in your world Dermy practicing magic –well that what I believe too- and his hawk form wasn’t new for him he had it together with the human one as metamorphosis in HP and Rumina just prison him in one of them permanently so she didn’t transform it totally,, that’s really nice new idea,, like it so much,, And again one more new idea,, in your world magic has two forms spiritual and physical and Rumi mixed them to curse Dermy like that too. Finally very nice chapter and sorry for such elongation" |

Thank you! I remember you telling me you've read all the fics on ff.net; that's impressive! Thank you again; I was/am trying to write in a different format than I normally do. Most of the time I write descriptive, but there's a lot of dialogue to go with it. In my new AOS fics, I'm trying to be more emotional rather than vocal. I have always felt, once I got over the shock that the series was over, that S2 left off with a bit of a emotionally-repressed Sinbad a bit. I know, as the lead character, he's supposed to be almost 'perfect', but if he was meant to be such a loving friend/brother like I saw him; then I figured he was probably carrying around some guilt. I, I guess, put a bit of myself into the fic as well. If Bryn was my friend, and I shared the bracelet, I'd feel a bit responsivble too; not to mention the amnesia; I'd feel doubly responsibile. And I always thought that whilst Maeve was strong; it was her knowledge that made her a bit more reliable than Bryn. Not to say that Bryn's magic was wrong or bad! But, to me, Bryn's was always more defensive and more wild-a tie into her natural/organic/earthly ties to magic. Plus, she had no memories, so basically she had no control and was maybe a bit afraid of her own powers....IDK... Well, angstful feelings aside, he's supposed to be the big captain with nothing bothering him; so he didn't want the crew to know just how bad it really was-nevermind that his friends already knew. I'm glad you think it was clever; I do try to tie in as many elements from AOS as I possibly can; not only to make it seemless, but to give ah, I don't know, a tie into a possible 'S3' link of my own design. LOL Well, Doubar did raise him despite DimDim being their teacher; you just can't raise a child and not know how they think and feel. Again, I'm blushing Thank you! I'm happy you liked the ending; I do so hope you continue to read and review the other chapters! |

Yippee!!!!! That's a bit of me in there; I had a friend once who lost a loved one and refused to talk about it. After a year, I and other friend decided enough was enough, they had to talk so we kind of forced the issue, but in the end it helped; that's kind of where Doubar's thoughts orginated from. Read above bit, but... Aye, I totally agree. Its the person's desicion to either let the pain go or keep it, but they also need to remember that there are others to lean on when their own strength just isn't enough on some days... Ah, yes, that was one of my favorite tie-ins. I always saw the family bond between those three more than with the other two men (Firouz and Rongar); not that there wasn't a bond, there was! But it was seen more readily with Sinbad, Doubar, and Maeve...even Dermott had a bond with the brothers that was pointedily shown to the viewers. Yes, the guilt that he stubbornly refused to deal with, built up higher and higher and until it had no more support to stand behind; its over flowing out and being expressed in various ways...again, I've always felt a bit of realism is desparately needed in all fics, so I made sure it was there in mine. |

Thank you! I remember you telling me you've read all the fics on ff.net; that's impressive! you are so welcome and yeah i'm an old and loyal fan for AOS ;D ;D ;D and that's great,, you know not everyone can do this,,, but you did it succefully and this a good direction indeed,, we all are touched by the hidden deep emotions present already in the show but never been satisfied by never clarifying them eventually,, so it's really apperciative from you and the others who are interested to be emotional in their ff,,, thank you all however i have to admit, there are also some dialog who can be so emotional and theirs words carry a lot of emotional meanings i like this style too i agree with you completely here,,, indeed you're right in this Oh that's very noble,,,, and it indeed fit with Sinbad character,, it's good move to view and been interested in this side of him that was so showed in S2 yeah her knowledge of course,,, we all see Maeve always had answers,, and always was studying even if we never saw her practice,,, however i have my own theory of Maeve could be stronger than she thought she just didn't have the chance to know it yet,,, it's kind of mystery,,, but that could make her even more powerful than Bryn not only by her knowledge but that's just me ,,, hehe another story,, yeah i agree with here too,, the poor one still had no control on her powers and obviously it's emotional controlled means depending on her mood,,, in my theory too she needs Maeve help in exactly this : make her able to control her powers -not to make her stronger for i believe Bryn is strong enough already she just don't remember how to handle it- as emotional powers are so dangerous for the one and the surrounding yet not too profitable in emergency cases and when needed, as they are not tamed ,, and it's good notice here that hers was defensive,, i noticed it too, yeah try to be tough as he thinks that's kind of strength ,,,how is he wrong,, and the one who try to appear always strong and perfect is conceited and arrogant which fit his chara,, that's great that's quite true, however by experience i think there are some exceptions,,, but it's not our case here in AOS Aww sure i'll,,, i may take long time,, but in the end you'll get my reviews of the other chap |

Wow you were inspired by a real experience  now that's amazing,,, and i still agree with this reaction in spite of being hard but life being rude itself sometimes need us to be harder too,,, and some situations like your friend's and this one of Sinbad here really need this reaction not any other,, well may be because they couldn't keep themselves from teasing each other ;D and also realizing the obvious feelings/relationship between Maeve and his brother/son make him believe somehow that '' this ismy family,, my real family ,, my futur family,, if only Sinbad can tell her his feelings .....'' also the same way Dermi was involved i think .... your words make a lot of sense,,, yeah it's so realistic,,, and that's so required in fact that's why i really like it ,, this idea yup i'm totally with you in this ,,, and it's great one indeed,,, you are right about your thoughts Aw thank you and it'll be as soon as i can |

Tet wrote: Old and loyal, huh? How long have you been a fan? If you answered this before, I apologise I must have missed it in all the postings you've made since you started up here. The reason why I asked, is that I, too, am an old fan with 10-15 years experience behind me! LOL Oh, I totally believe you! Emotional stories are somewhat difficult, but dialogue can give a person an emotional whammy to the gut too! Glad you think that I'm merging the repressed Sinbad in my POV and the AOS S2 Sinbad that we all saw so well! LOL, I too, think Maeve could be an extremely powerful sorceress; if only she had a more open, light, loving heart in which to support the white magic in her. Not that she isn't a wonderful, loving lady, but she does have the stand-offish feel at times and I think that also hinders her white magic. That and she's not confident in her own abilities....And I can kind of see why....she seemed to be close in strength with Rumina in the beginning...and then Rumina just soared so far beyond her....If I had been in Maeve's place I would have been scared and a bit unconfident myself...  Yea, with a few exceptions, Bryn's magic only seemed to be wild and defensible in nature... LOL Yea, S2 did come across as a bit of an arrogent jerk at times, didn't he? ;D Thanks! Of course there are always exceptions to every rule! But, I too think Doubar knew his little brother almost as well as Sinbad knew himself at times.... That's great! I can't wait! Yes, my friend and I didn't enjoy it, but it needed to be done. OUr friend was simply pretending her boyfriend was on one of his missions to the Holy Land, and would be back in the following year, but once we got her to his grave and forced her to see the truth, she FINALLY broke down and started to mourn his loss and began to heal. She's doing much better now; has even started going out with our other friends to dance hall, concerts, and movies again... Doubar and Dermott could have definately believed that I think! LOL Nice! Thanks, I do try; Like I said before, I can't wait!

No, no worries there honey Aw so I’m joining your club ;D ;D It’s since 15 years or so,,,,, But point is I hadn’t internet connection then at all ,, so I couldn’t find nor know anything about AoS ff, or videos,,, different forums and so on,, I only begin to search about anything related to the show when I get the connection lately, that was since 8 years only,, before that i only satisfied my passion to the show by collecting some stickers in a special notebook I made for only that purpose  hehehe don't tell anyone about this ;D ;D Indeed you did very well I agree totally with you here, yeah if only she had more confidence in herself and her heart and powers  However I have to admit here that what I meant about my words she is stronger than she thought that there are things she didn’t know yet, something magical yet natural happened to her in her very early age,, that is of course not in general or in the main show,, I meant it’s my theory/my own –well can’t describe it now as I still didn’t start to write any ff yet- let’s say my own version of the main chara background ,, AOS world before the show events took place,,, if one day I can write or start writing a fiction that will be it,, but I see that’s not to discuss it here because here we can fly in your own AOS world honey Yeah indeed ;D ;D ;D You are welcome  OOOH the poor one  ,, I’m soooo sorry for her and what she suffered, Yeas indeed what you did was very necessary for her recovery,, she really needed that,, that move needed If I was her I should thank you for being faithful and noble friend,, the action was hard but without her you could have lose her,, I’m so happy she started to return to the life again and seeing things better,, her going out with is a good sign,, God be with her I’m sorry I’m making you wait but these days I have only few free time,, and also the fasting cause me not so focused while reading,,, so you see my posts now are only light funny ones |
