Damn it, Sui, you made me cry! What you wrote is so sweet! I love all your stories and I'm glad I found them too! =) @Myiege:thank you for your kind words! I don't know you either, but I see your name everywhere b/c we read the same stories! lol But feel free to chat me up anytime you want.

Awwww shucks, you guys! You've all got me blushing. lol @Daithi: I'm actually surprised Percy didn't choose to interview you b/c you have way surpassed me in reviews! lol I don't think I'll ever catch up to you! =) @Cole: Thank you, Cole! I'm still grinning at your comment! @Kitt: Yes, there are many times when I'm reading stories in the car, waiting for school to let out, etc., that I can't comment b/c I never sign in on my phone. It's just a pain in the you-know-what. So I always have to remember to r&r when I get back home. And last, but certainly not least - drum roll, please...Aditus: You are my best friend online and there have been many, many times your love and support got me through tough times. I thank my lucky stars every day that I decided to read RRS because your story brought us together. =) A better friend I could not wish for. And I really need to thank GA because of all the sites I've seen, GA is the absolute best for author/reader/admin interaction, through reviews, blogs, forums, etc. This is the only site where I feel I actually belong, you know? And thank you Percy for even THINKING of doing this awesome interview! lol When you first approached me with the idea, all I thought of was, "Why the hell would anyone be interested in what I have to say?" I'm just me, you know? I'm not one of the amazing authors on here, I'm not a techie, I don't even write blogs. lol So thank you Percy, and thank you GA staff for letting Percy conduct the interview. =)

Funny, whenever I think of PA, I never think of rednecks. lol Although Taylor Swift is from PA, but she ain't no redneck!

Yay, my home state pulled through!

Wow, Louis, I don't think I've ever read a better review. If it weren't 11:41 pm, I would definitely start reading this just based on your review. =) I'm so intrigued now! Awesome review, Louis.

Jesus, Pink, you're killing me here. I can't even type b/c the screen is so damn blurry. lol What a horrible life Joe had. His father was a monster and he taught Joe's brothers to be just like him. The only bright light Joe had was Jon. I'm a little confused though. If Joe died before he met Charlie (Charlie's grandfather), then how did Grandfather Charlie get his picture taken with Joe? I thought ghosts don't come out in pictures. lol I really need to praise you, Pink. Your writing is terrific - Charlie's story hooked me from the first line and kept me riveted through that chapter and now Joe's chapter. I look forward to the next story in your series. Just let me know if I need to buy more Kleenex. lol

Harper, you're back!!! But the chapter's way too short!!!!!! I had to reread chapter one to re-familiarize myself with the story. No child and no mother should have to put up with the shit that Andy and his mom do. His father definitely needs help. Anger management, maybe? I can't believe (from chapter one), how nasty his father is to hiim. And I don't understand: when my kids played any sports (I have three boys, so I was always running around), I was at all the games. I understand Andy's mom was at work, which of course is fine, but I always took my kids home afterwards. Why wouldn't Andy's father take him home? That doesn't make sense. Anyway, he's an ass and as I said before, he really needs help. And poor Andy just fucked up the next game. And he probably forgot about Eric's invite. I really love this story, Harper. I hope chapter three is longer, but most importantly, I hope you update sooner than six months! =)

First and foremost: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING SO QUICKLY, JMH!!!!!! Darren, you can't have your cake and eat it too. They have to be equal partners if Will and Jacob are going to both have Darren. lol If they are not equal, someone is going to get hurt, like Jacob did in this chapter. Oh, I did have an observation: Before Darren left for Minnesota with Will, Jacob moved into his apartment. Ok, to me, when someone moves in (a b/f, g/f...), that is a committed relationship. So I was confused when Darren was hoping that Jacob would wait for him but he would understand if he didn't. WTF? lol HE MOVED INTO YOUR APARTMENT, WHY WOULDN'T HE WAIT FOR YOU? lol I didn't understand his reasoning at all.

Coach Mills is still an ass. He's not even trying to help Matt. Why the hell would he change his locker? Andy should stop thinking about getting together with Thomas and Randy w/o Matt. He knows damn well Matt isn't shagging Gina, but he's talking about hooking up with T&R w/o him. Of course Matt would be upset. If the situation was reversed, he'd be awfully upset if he found out Matt was screwing around with T&R. Great chapter, Elias!

I can't believe Rand hooked up with N-sang. I can't believe they've been in Beantown for two years! Their English must be pretty good by now. lol I wonder when Jae will get a clue about how Dan feels about him. Does Jae even remember about their kiss from two years ago?

What a fantastic story, Daisy! =) I got chills reading the endiing and of course the whole thing with Joe got me all choked up. When Joe told Charlie to take advantage of love when you have it b/c you don't know how long it will last (I'm paraphrasing, of course), also gave me chills. You know, when it was mentioned that Joe's hands were cold (maybe it was another body part, I don't remember), I felt that something wasn't right about him. Yeah, that's b/c he wasn't alive! lol He was the ghost of train's past. lol I hope you post more stories. This was was so engaging and so well-written I'd love to read more from you.

Jackie's feelings are definitely valid. She raises a good point: if Mark falls in love with Trey, what's stopping him from moving to wherever Trey will be stationed? But I'm a bit confused. I thought Trey was getting deployed in three weeks. Did I miss something? Doesn't that mean you're enlisted? lol

This was a cute chapter, Circle. I found it really funny that poor Dan didn't get any gifts last year b/c he failed the 'trail'. lol At least he got them as X-mas gifts. Loved the confusion with Durex and chewing gum. lol It was sweet at the end when Dan finally realized he had everything he wanted right there at the table. Oh yeah, minus Jenna. lol I wonder what Dad would say if he exchanged the book for some good ole' gay porn? =)

Omg, Cole! That was hysterical! Yeah, I'm sure Chad totally forgot who Dyan even is by now! lol Shit, that was funny! =) I can see how Chad was trying to be protective of Dylan, but why can't he just be happy for him? If Dylan loves chuck and Chuck treats his best friend right, then why can't Chad just accept that? Why does Chuck have to look like David Beckham? (Ok, just thought of him off the top of my head. lol He is uber hot though. ) I think Chad's just jealous b/c Dylan is now in a relationship and he doesn't get together with Chad much anymore and Chad is all alone. Chad much preferred it when his best friend was single like him. But obviously he's single b/c he treats his men like crap. Terrific chapter, Cole. Hey, I missed the weekly, or bi-weekly recipe! lol Oh, I noticed a little error: when Dylan was leaving the bar and he said goodbye to Chad and the two college boys, Matt and Tim said they'd take care of Chad...one of them spoke first, I don't remember which one. Let's say Matt spoke first and then Tim spoke, but the two different sentences were on the same line. For example: "We'll take good care of him, Dyan!" Matt said. "Yeah, we'll make sure he gets home alright," Tim added. (of course I'm making up these lines...) After Matt spoke there should be another line, and then Tim speaks. Not on the same line: "We'll take good care of him, Dylan!" Matt said. "Yeah, we'll make sure he gets home alright," Tim added. I'm sure it was just an oversight b/c I don't remember seeing it before in previous chapters. I just wanted to point it out if you wanted to change it. =) Anyway...looking forward to the next update!

I totally agree, Comsie. I don't know why people have to 'come out'. Why do these poor teenagers and adults have to add this type of stress to their lives? Why can't they just show up with a boyfriend or girlfriend and be done with it? Why do ignorant parents think it's b/c they did something wrong or they think that their kid is getting them back for something. It's ridiculous. Why can't these kids just be? Just let them live their lives. Life is so stressful as it is, and these poor kids have to weigh the pros and cons of coming out to their family and friends. It's heartbreaking. Why can't these family and friends just love them for who they are, not for who they love? Who cares who they love? As long as they're happy. I just don't get it. Why do parents have kids if they're not planning on loving them unconditionally? How can a parent even THINK of kicking their own child, their own flesh and blood, out of the house b/c of something the child has no control over? It's uncomprehendable to me. Anyway, I could go on and on and on, but it's late and I'd bore you. lol But yeah, Grant was very brave and I hope that his YouTube video didn't cause any undue stresses on him.

What a great review, Jo Ann! I totally agree with everything you wrote; "Porcupines" is such a feel-good story, reading about how these two boys met and connected. Of course by the end of each chapter I'm starving because Chuck is making some awesome dish or another. lol So not only am I learning about two great guys, but I get a cooking lesson also. It's a win-win. =)

Sniff, sniff, Bryce, I'll miss you... So I was in the car, waiting for school to let out, and catching up on one of my favorite stories on here, when I came to the part where Rhyder goes to BEAU and I'm yelling, "NO!!!! I want Bryce!!!!" Of course all my windows were open and my lab, Jessie, was staring at me like I lost my marbles (of course I woulda had to have marbles in the first place in order to lose them), and the kids passing by were staring at me like I lost those marbles also. But, Bryce!!!! I know how unrealistic it would be to have Rhyder ride off (hehe), the sunset with Bryce, but at least their still friends. And now Rhyder has another "B" boyfriend, Beau. lol I'm so proud of him and all that he's accomplished with Caleb, Jase, by himself...he's really grown up and matured tremendously from when he first came to Cali. I'm really sorry to see this story end, Sasha, it was a terrific tale, just like all your stories.

I agree with Daithi; Jae sure isn't going to trust many people now, not after Jaesun betrayed him a second time. And Jaesun BLAMING Jae for showing up! Is he kidding? He sends him a text that he really needs to see him and then he turns around and BLAMES Jae for coming! That's nice. Idiot. Interesting turn of events with Dan though. Looking forward to more, Sui!

JMH, you're back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's only been, what, fifteen months? lol I'm sure I've said this in past reviews, but Jacob is immature - for an adult and especially for a doctor. That whole outburst with Tara reminded me of high school, teenage angst, not a grown adult facing reality. Idk...maybe I'm being too harsh. So I was confused with the whole Darren not loving Will the way Will loves Darren thing. I thought Darren realized he loved Will that way. Weren't they going to get married before the accident? Maybe I need to re-read those chapters again... Anyway, terrific chapter, JMH! But maybe chapter eight will be posted before December of 2014? lol =)

Oh man, Cole! First they fight, then they make up, then you put a little 'zinger' at the bottom about relationships and whatnot and now I'm afraid they'll be back to fighting by morning. lol This was a fun chapter to read. I loved all their little nicknames. Very cute, Cole!

What a fantastic chapter, Andrew! Of course I got all choked up reading Jesse's story from his pov as he told it to Kylie and the viewers. I think I agree with wildone about who attacked Spin. Although I did think it was one of the ignorant jocks on TJ's team. I think Danny and CJ need to have some bodyguards with the boys when they're at school. Eh, now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next installment! Andrew!

Idk...Dan seems too good to be true. What is he going to get out of it? Oh, I know: if he can get Rebellion back in a studio, recording, he will be seen in a better light. Of course if Rebellion can get just one hit in, then Dan will be gold. His image as an entertainment person (or whatever he was before, lol), will be restored and if he sticks with Rebellion and sees them back to stardom, he will be a winner. It's a win-win for all of them. Of course, the same could be said if he fails them. They all lose. Again. But it's worth a shot. You never know until you try. And if Rebellion doesn't like the way Dan is doing things, they can always walk, right? The first thing Dan has to do is change his physical image: throw out the sweats and t-shirt and start dressing like the image maker you are. (or you wnat to be again) He is definitely sending out the wrong signals if he looks like a homeless person. lol No one will take him seriously until he gets better threads. =) Shit, I should be his PR person. lol I think the boys should give it a shot. It will definitely be worth the risk if Dan can change the public's opinion of the band. One thing I don't get: I read the review from the reader who knows about the entertainment business in Korea. If all these entertainment companies are like T-sang, then wouldn't the public, the fans, etc. know that? Wouldn't Rand have known that and cut the boys some slack? And how come Rand wasn't like that?

Another surgery, KC? I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything turns out ok. Don't worry about your story; we'll all be here patiently waiting. Your health is way too important. I bet I know what happened - that gold sequened dress and high heels you were wearing in Jo Ann's Halloween story probably caused some type of accident or something...(wink, wink) But seriously, I hope everything goes ok for you. Michael's so cute asking for Ziggy's help with Asher's birthday celebration. Asher was cute in the morning, not remembering anything from the night before.

Ok, so I might get the names mixed up b/c there's more than one Jae, and more than one Junghee...or are those last names but people refer to others by their last names? Anyway,it was confusing for me. I think I'll use the other names: Park, Andre, ok, Jae and Junghee. Oh, there's only one Junghee. Ok, got it now. lol Park was a shit, he was just as bad as N-sang for what he did, betraying the band, but more specifically, betraying Jae's love and trust. N-sang should have been sued, which they were, but unfortunately, they fought dirty and got involved with Rand and let them know what was going on. I'm actually surprised Rand's attorneys didn't look into why Black Shade left N-sang. I think if they knew all along there was a lawsuit against N-sang, they would have never signed Rebellion/Black Shade on. Jae's mom is very smart. She knows her son won't be happy living the quiet, peaceful, dull life in a small town; he needs the excitement of a big city and the excitement of being onstage. Oh, I did have a question about their ages: Jae left Gong and went to Seoul he was sixteen. Then when he was in his second year of training (he was eighteen then, right?), he got signed on with N-sang. So why was it that he was the oldest of Black Shade at twenty-three and they were all twenty-two? Where did the seven years between sixteen and twenty-three come from?

If Matt can play on varsity, then I agree, it's a great opportunity. Since juniors and seniors usually make up the varsity team, it would be impressive if Matt is able to join varsity. And hopefully that won't mean he'll be sitting on the bench the whole time. I think Matt is going to agree to this foursome thingy with Thomas and Randy. He was so adamant about not doing anything with them, but now I think his defenses are wearing down. lol As always, Uplifted, I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
