And the really heart-felt, intimate, loving moments are mostle TK's doing, so be prepared to melt into a little puddle, they're so warm and fuzzy!
Wow! 20 chapters? I did not keep count, it's that many?! You can clearly see TK's influence on the length of things, I write one-shots, she's the grand epic writer.
nom, nom, nom, muse fudge! I'll see if I can get back in the saddle this weekend and ingest some of that heavenly stuff ;D

Ooh, you'll surely love it. ;D The fun scenes are mostly MJ's doing, so you can imagine how awesome they are. ;D ;D ;D ;D You don't have to say I can guess.  MJ do the very good job with the humorous one. You have very good imagination and the way you use words too it fits the funny stuff. But Doubar's style, it fits the emotional and sweet things more than the funny ones. Or at least that what I feel until now. I remember that I've never read anything you write which I can call "funny" but most of them are "sweet" and "emotional" some are "sad".  I don't remember what is the first fic of you I read but I remember that after reading I looked up to see who was the author and then TK was putted into the list "the authors whose fics I shouldn't read". . It's not I don't like the fic but still remember the feeling after reading that story even I don't remember what is it. The strong emotion of the story hit me very hard and it messed up my thought for a while. But I actually often read the fics without noticing the author so I often accidentally read your fics. As a habit, after reading the fic I found the author's name. It is always TK the authors of the emotional fics. The special styles made me remembered you. I got used to whatever you did with your stories/fanvids and stopped avoiding your creations. Whenever I read a emotional thing, I thought it was yours. I don't know why but I kept thinking that your fics/vids are the sad ones even they aren't always sad. And then, I read "silent joy" and fell in love with it. I found the author's name and was surprised to see it was TK. (the first fic of you made me smile). When I came here and talked with you, I still didn't have any idea who you are. I saw TK's thread but didn't care to go there to see who was TK. But after reading the silent joy the second time, it gave the need to find out who is the author of this lovely fics and I was a little shock when I knew who TK is. Haha. Silent joy is the story I love the most in your stories. It's not because the other stories you wrote aren't good but because it's the story of you I love before knowing who you are. It proves that you're a good writer and I love your stories because your excellent skill and special style not because I'm your friend. |

MJ Wow! 20 chapters? I did not keep count, it's that many?! Yeah, it should be around 20. ;D I counted them a while ago and reached 16 I think - but since then we've written some more tags so aye, we should be at about 20 by now.  Not true. The longest tag we have is written by you. ;D Yayyyyy. ;D @ban: Oh my gosh, you never told me. ;D Seriously? I was on your "not to read" list at first? ;D Aww, I'm sorry my fic - whichever one it was - messed with your thoughts like this. That certainly wasn't my intention, although I must admit I do feel honoured to know that obviously it touched you so much. Funny enough I had totally forgotten already that I used to write about melancholic or sad scenes mostly. Lately I have written either romantic (the collab) or neutral stuff (the Rise) so when I read your lines I was like: "whoa, she's right! O.o" But I tell you what - I kinda miss writing hurt/comfort things and I might just get back on those in the future. ^^ But anyhoo. So you were a little shocked to find out that I am in fact TK? Say, might I be as curious then as to ask just what sort of person you had anticipated TK to be? I'd just really love to know what sort of character a reader pictures when working their way through my stories. ;D Awwww, and so Silent Joy is your favourite amongst my works. That's so great to know.  The little series is close to my heart, even though I haven't had the nerve and muse to continue on it for a while. Also it's awesome to know it made you smile. I guess those three little shots are indeed the happiest and most tranquil ones I ever wrote. All the others bear at least a little bit of pain in them. Seems I just can't help it. x) I know, dear, and it means a whole lot! *hugs*  @teti: Awwww, thank you, dear, for those lovely reviews!!!!! I'm soo happy you like the latest installments. You're indeed right with that one. This is exactly how I picture them to be around each other. I mean, I have spent the last two years writing about those two every now and then, and I have thought a lot about them, too - who they are to each other and how they'd work together. And basically, those tags are the result of that process. Lol, that's quite true, isn't it? That we hardly get to see that Doubar in the show. ;D And sometimes I seriously wonder whether George would ever agree with my version of Doubar at all. I guess I'm emphasizing traits in that big man that originally weren't as prominent but which I like a lot. His caring and sensitive side... I just like to imagine that they're quite strong with him even though he often doesn't let on about them. Yeah, it's a lovely thought, isn't it - that the man you love prepares something yummy just for you. ;D Haahaha, true that. It's kinda embarassing. ;D On the other hand though I guess that since he and Bryn have shared their lives for such a long time already (on a ship the Nomad's size there's little space for privacy) he wouldn't feel quite as self-conscious as we for example would when trying to impress someone. They are more familiar with each other's weaknesses anyway and after all... aye, he thus got to spend some quality time with her which is definitely a pro. ;D Again, thank you soo much for the review. It means a whole lot, dear!

You can clearly see TK's influence on the length of things, I write one-shots, she's the grand epic writer. I know I already commented on this, but I just had to add: Actually, I am only to be held responsible for about 8 of the tags. Most were written by you when you were on a roll and spoilt me with one or sometimes even two shots a day. xD |

I think you do a fabulous job, He is your version to play, |

I get bored too easily! Seconded! Besides, actors only have a limited freedom when playing a character as they have to heed the director's vision of what the character is to be. You on the other hand have total freedom- within the contruct of the tale. So the two are hard to compare. And if he dislikes your portayel, well then we dislike him ;D @teti You reviewed! Sorry I didn't see it for so long! I'll just respond to the chap 3 review, the others I'll leave to TK- partly because I'm lazy, partly because she's already adressed them. So you enjoyed it then? ;D Honestly, how great would it be if something like that were to really happen? *romantic sigh* I like it too, they can be so childish and I love it ;D They bring out my inner child That was what I was going for, so Yay! Thanks for reviewing dear! |

Yayyyyy, it's Thursday again and that means... A new chapter for 'The Courting of Bryn'. ;D I just uploaded number five. ;D Totally love that one. Haaaaaahahaha, Maeve and Sinbad are so funny. Really can't get enough of them. ;D www.fanfiction.net/s/9099662/5/The-Courting-of-Brynalex & MJ: Oh, indeed, you both are right. It doesn't really matter whether George would approve of my version of Doubar, and he wasn't really free in playing him either. But still, you know, sometimes you cannot help but wonder. ;D alex: Thankees, sweetheart. That's a lovely thing of you to say. *hugs* MJ: Lol, though really, I have the impression George is such an amiable guy... I don't think we could dislike him even if he told us he doesn't agree with the teddybear I make Doubar be. xD That makes two then. ;D I, too, would have never been able to write all those shots without your help. |

Oh! It's the one with the... I'll be quiet so I won't spoil anyone, but I'd forgotten all about this! And if I do say so myself, it is pretty funny ;D Though did we ever fix the Nomad? I can't remember!
Hehehe, it's good thing we're posting this story, or I would never have seen it again, my brain is so scrambled. I can't wait to see what comes next LOL!

Yeah, it's exactly the one with the... [read tag and find out, everyone! ;D ]. I laughed so much at it back then, and when I now posted it it had me giggle again. I just LOVE that mental image. ;D Seriously though? I have no idea whether we ever fixed her. I guess though that Maeve eventually took pity on the poor captain and fixed... this. ;D Next comes another one of yours - one that I absolutely adore as well because it's just so cute and lovely. |

@doubar: Yes you was but not in the bad meaning of it. Now, I still have some authors in that list. Their stories are great but they're too sad, too painful. But tell you the truth, when I search for the new fic I always note to see if there is any new fic of them and of course will give the new one a read. ;D ;D ;D I think that list should be the favorite authors but I still like the name I give it at the first place. Hihi. I don't have any list of the authors whose fics I don't want to read. My list is "I shouldn't read" because I like the tragic things so reading the sad things will impact a lot my mood. I can be sad all day just because of the sad stuff I read from somewhere. Uhm, I thought TK was a sensitive person, good at language and had the good view on things, could read the emotion on the character's faces and actions even it was showed in just a second and the most important things is could understood the meaning of the scenes. I think those qualities are the required to write the emotion stuff. It's not like you want to write and you can. If you're not sensitive enough to feel thing, you can't write it. You're not good in using words, you can't find the correct to touch the reader's feeling without changing the characteristics of the characters. If you can't understand meaning of the scenes you can't make your story be more beautiful and more emotional. With the emotional things especially the sad ones, dialogue isn't important, the sense is the key. Until now, I'm not sure how much I'm right about TK but still I think you're not much different with my imagination. And about why I was shock, you should know I found out you're TK more than a year ago. I didn't know much about you but only the character you play - Doubar. Doubar isn't the emotional character. So unlike with Maeve or Sinbad, Doubar is the person who cans easily laugh. I just couldn't believe the author who wrote the sad stuff played the happy character. It was a shock really. |

@teti You reviewed! That's so nice! In my view Maeve just thinks she's practising magic- a skill they all make use of, and you can't practise if you don't take some risks. While Sinbad is purely looking out for his ship. Two valid points of view really, only they don't really mesh, which is where it gets funny ;D Huh, that never occured to me before... I guess maybe that he knows her better he shows his true colours? Or maybe I just write it like that because i think it's funny Yeah, poor Bryn. Being constantly reminded that you were something and someone else while having no memory of that must be really hard! I'm glad she's got Doubar to comfort her through it though Thank you teti for that very lovely review. *Hugs* |

Aye, thanx, Teti!!! @ban: Oooh, I think I know what you mean. ;D But it's true, I sometimes am cautious, too, about reading sad stuff. I reeaaaally love emotional stories (who would've thought?  ;D ), but sometimes I just better avoid them. I never had a work weigh me down the whole day, but especially in times when I'm heartbroken anyway I cannot afford reading sad stories in additional to that. >.> Now, as for how you picture/d TK to be: awwww, that's actually very lovely. And it honours me to know you think I understand the scenes and emotions well. Basically, I just write down what I expect or imagine the characters to feel - or sometimes what I want them to feel. And while in some cases, usually thanx to brilliant acting, this is really rather easy, in others it isn't. And that's where I always am curious about what others think - whether they have the same impression or not. Ooooh, now I understand. ;D Haha, yeah, that's kinda weird, isn't it? Did I ever tell you though just why I took him? The reason is that I had absolutely no idea about how to deal with an rpg and whether I'd be able to do decent in-character work, so I took the easy way out and chose the easiest character to play. And Doubar seemed a perfect victim in that regard. Seriously, the reason why I chose him is that he's always been easy to smile, carefree in a way, lovely and ... well, sorry to say that, but not very "deep" if you know what I mean. Apart from his devotion to Sinbad, he shows no major conflicts or anything - just like you said - and that seemed appealing to me when I had no idea yet how to handle a character in an rpg. x) I guess I made up for the choice of character though by my other two, don't you agree? Mala's a tragic enough person (though she's incredibly strong and has never lost faith which is so admirable!), and Majid... lol, better won't get started on him. xD Also I guess I'm still keeping somewhat true to my FFN writing, seeing how my Doubar is a good bit more sensitive and maybe also more contemplative than the show-Doubar. I try and make sure not to overdo it and stick with his joyous nature of course, but sometimes I still cannot help myself. |

Sorry for the delay, chapter 6 is now up! And I just realized I forgot to copy/paste the link but I've got to run and I have absolute faith in you gals that you can find it anyway |

? It's the huge number!!!
The little series is close to my heart, even though I haven't had the nerve and muse to continue on it for a while. Also it's awesome to know it made you smile. I guess those three little shots are indeed the happiest and most tranquil ones I ever wrote. All the others bear at least a little bit of pain in them. Seems I just can't help it. x)
and never look to the bright side of it like Maeve does,, i pity her in this scene :/
