awwww, sweet



Author's Response:

Thank you, Shell!  Yeah, I tend to write the sweet ones.;)  I'm glad you enjoyed it, though!  Hopefully I manage to keep Brian at least somewhat IC. :)  Thanks for reading so many of my stories, and especially for taking the time to review! I really appreciate that.  ~Kim

I love this story, I'm so happy I found it and that you had finished it... I don't like to read unfinished fics. This has just the right mix of stress and romance for me. Thank you so much.

Love from Jacky M                                                                             



Author's Response:

Hi, Jacky! Thank you for reading this story, and especially for taking the time to leave me your thoughts. I am delighted that you enjoyed this one. I greatly loved to see B and J dancing together, so I thought this would be a natural AU for them.;)  And I share your pet peeve about unfinished works; i HATE to get engrossed in a story, only to find out it has never been finished, so you will never find one of mine left undone. It may take me a while, and perhaps longer than some other writers due to a lot of obligations I have, but I will never leave one incomplete. Right now I have 3 multi-chaptered WIPs (one of which is actually done, but just needs tweaking), but I will not post any new ones until I am at least done with one of the two WIPs first. I'm close with "My Heart's Desire," though.

Thanks again for your support! It is most appreciated. *Hugs* ~Kim

Dear Kim,

That was so nice to read, sweet and heart warming and just the length I like best for a story to have. Its good to read something that makes you smile and feel good, live sometime is hard enough and some almoust angst-free fluff is very welcome every now and than. Thanks for sharing!!!



Author's Response:

Hi, Steff! Thanks so much for reading, and for your kind words. I'm delighted that you enjoyed it, and that it made you smile. Thank you for letting me know. I hope I can continue to write stories that you enjoy. BTW, I think my next story will be a lighter one.;)  Thanks again. *Hugs* ~Kim

Ce qui avait commencé par une mauvaise blague d'Emmett a fini p,our Brian, par la plus belle des révélations avec un petit-ami inattendu mais pour qui il ferait n'importe quoi et qui rempli si bien sa vie.

Très belle histoire pour ces garçons qui ont une si belle connexion

A bientôt



Author's Response:

Thank you very much for reading and for all the feedback!  That was so thoughtful of you.;)  I hope you will continue to enjoy some of my other stories as you get time. Thank you again for all the support; so happy that you enjoyed this story!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

La malchance fit perdre tous ses espoirs à Justin mais pour combien de temps!!!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 24, 2013 12:25 AM · On: First Round

Après l'angoisse, l'apréhension et l'incertitude, Brian passe à l'euphorie et la suffisance avant de rechercher Justin pour une "récompense" qu'il n'aura pas tout de suite : frustration!



Author's Response:

Hello, my friend! Thank you for reading this story and for all the comments!  I am honored that you are reading another of mine.;)  I do hope that you continue to enjoy it.  I like to include Emmett in stories when I can.  He is featured a great deal, for instance, in "Bon Appetite," "Stirring up Trouble," and "Just a Piece of Jewelry."  I think he makes a good friend for Justin.;)  Thank you again for the feedback and the support!  It is greatly appreciated.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Emmett est intelligent mais je doute maintenant que Brian lui en veuille tant que ça après que ce pari lui ait permis de rencontrer Justin!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 11:52 PM · On: Last Rehearsal

Beaucoup de questions dans la tête de Brian mais il a déjà les réponses et bientôt Justin ne sera certainement plus dans l'incertitude non plus!

Le commentaire de Marylin est des plus mystérieux mais parle-t-elle de la relation Justin/Brian ou bien est-ce autre chose!!! En tous les cas tout à l'air de bien se passer entre les deux garçons.

Volà un "rendez-vous qui n'en est pas un" des plus réussi sur tous les plans pour les deux garçons sns distinction. Cela laisse auguré à nouveau de bons moments pour la suite!

Voilà un diner qui s'est avéré des plus prometteur et malgré les petites taquineries et insinuations de chacun il est certain que quelque chose de bien plus fort s'est passé lors de cette soirée!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 07:19 PM · On: Getting Ready

Que dire... Debbie est réellement épatante et je crois que Brian a du souci à se faire car ce diner risque d'être plud difficile à gérer qu'il ne le pensait!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 07:07 PM · On: An Unexpected Offer

Brian a fini par mettre un mouchoir sur ses principes afin d'avoir une possibilité de baiser Justin même si inconsciemment ou pas ce n'est sûrement pas uniquement ce qu'il veut de lui!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 06:47 PM · On: A Personal Mission

Debbie a raison sur les deux garçons mais elle sait aussi remettre le prétentieux Brian à sa place et appuyer sur les bons boutons pour le remettre dans le droit chemin qui est celui de la performance afin de gagner lle concours et si en cours de route Justin et Brian y trouve un peu plus que cela ce ne sera qu'un très gros bonus supplémentaire!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 06:30 PM · On: The Lesson Continues

Bonne question, qui va être le plus torturé des deux et physiquement ou émotionnellement???

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 06:21 PM · On: Getting to Know Each Other Better

Justin est le professeur pour la danse et Brian y met dusien pour gagner ce concours mais pourrait-il à son tour être le professeur pour d'autres activités!!!!

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 04:43 PM · On: The First Lesson

Brian et Justin ont fait connaissance et malgré les différents insinuations ont réussi à avoir une conversation assez profonde sur les aspirations de Justin.

Si Brian est toujours attiré par le physique de Justin, il est également impressionné par sa personnalité et son charisme face à lui!

 

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 03:27 PM · On: Meeting the Instructors and the Competition

Maintenant que les présentations sont faites voyons ce que les cours vont donner et j'ai la conviction que malgré leur attirance mutuelle, Brian va avoir quelques surprises.

Brian a l'esprit de compétition donc je suis curieuse de voir comment les cours vont lui profiter afin de supplanter Drew.

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2013 06:34 AM · On: The Bet

Paei risqué pour Emmett mais au combien jouissif quand Brian aura perdu et fera une tête d'enfer pour participer à cette manifestation. Mais au final, il sera peut-être gagnant!

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: January 29, 2013 01:12 AM · On: Epilogue: I'm the Winner

I just found this wonderful story - when you started posting I had no idea the story was virtually done and going to be posted en masse, otherwise I would have reviewed earlier. Sorry. But, as usual, your story is perfect. All your plot ideas are always so unique. I loved seeing Brian having to learn to dance. I also loved the over-the-top romantic side to his character in this. Great story. Thanks for writing. TAG



Author's Response:

Aww...thank you, Tag; I'm so glad that you liked it!  As you know, I don't normally finish multi-chaptered stories in one sitting - ha!  But it was a special assignment for the LJ Christmas Fan fic exchange, and it had to be done by the end of December.  Of course, what I thought would be a short story wound up being a monster - ha!  I'm delighted that you liked it, though; thank you for reading and for the comments, my friend. :)  *Hugs* ~Kim

I love this story! Thank you so much! I like this loving and caring Brian and the most talented artist in the whole world - Justin. :) I wish it's never ended.

Thanx, Nadia.



Author's Response:

Thank you, Nadia!  I'm delighted that you liked it.  And BTW - I LOVE your Christmas photo manip on your bio page - that's one of my favorite pics of the boys, and the setting makes it looks so real - beautiful!  Thanks again for reading - and for the favorite author designation, too; I'm very honored by that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: 4depthoflove (Signed) · Date: January 13, 2013 09:49 AM · On: Epilogue: I'm the Winner

Really enjoyable ride with this one dear! I am fascinated with the way you can take such totally OOC versions of our boys and thread them through a love story every bit as touching and beautiful as the original, and in doing so give us so many altered but familiar canon glimpses to reach us where our heart lies!

- Drew's struggle with coming out and the possible effect on his career

- Justin's efforts to get to PIFA when the odds are stacked against him

-Marilyn's brilliant and story guiding look into the future

- Debbie's involvement in smoothly the way for these two to find their way

- Justin getting hurt just when the boys seemed to be on top of the world and unstoppable

- Brian being responsible for overcoming the obtacles allowing Justin to get to the college of his dreams

- and of course - Brian being so enraptured with his blonde life changer that the rules all change as well

and I appreciate with as much as we all know you love the angst that leads to the boys rising above it (we all do...it's what drives so much of the passion)...that this story is every but as satisfying even though this OOC Brian seems to find it so much less terrifying to open himself up and be the romantic, caring partner that Justin needs - almost right from the get go...when it comes to Brian and his Justin...OOC stands more for out of control than out of character...once they meet - he just can't help falling - it's inevitable

great job as always - Charle

(and - BTW - thank you also so very much for being one of the very few that always takes the time to encourage my own foray into the world of writing down some of the  'stuff' that runs through my mind - it really means a lot to me especially as busy as you always are with writing all the stories that you juggle in your own creative process - you're awesome!)

loving life,

Charle

 



Author's Response:

Hi, dear Charle!  Your words mean so much to me, my friend; more than you'll probably ever know.:)  Thank you for not only reading this latest story and for the thoughtful feedback, but always for being so supportive of my stories about the boys that I continue to love writing about and for those wonderful words of encouragement. 

I think it's important that we all support each other, and you make it so easy to do with your sweet, wonderful stories.  (P.S.  I hope we see more of "Do You Hear What I Hear;" I'm really enjoying those - hint, hint).  Thank you again for the lovely comments, Charle.  I hope you continue to entertain us with your stories as well.  *Big* Hug  ~Kim

Reviewer: judi (Anonymous) · Date: January 13, 2013 02:31 AM · On: Epilogue: I'm the Winner

Nicely done.  Romantic but not tooooo gushy.  Interesting take on their meeting.  Liked it a lot.  Thanks



Author's Response:

Thank you, Judi!  I'm happy that you enjoyed it.  Yes, I suppose some could see Brian as OOC in my stories, but I like to think that he would have matured emotionally at some point, so hopefully I struck a good balance there.  I defiinitely wasn't wanting 'too gushy' as you phrased it, so I'm glad to hear that it wasn't too overly sappy.:)  Thank you again for reading and for the comments; I really appreciate that.  *Hugs* ~Kim

Kim i started to read this when you posted it,but rl interferes. So glad you posted it here. This should be fun. Maybe justin can actually teach brian to dance.

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend! Well, not sure if Brian is too graceful in moving, at least while standing up - ha! I'm happy that you'll be checking this out, though  Thank you for letting me know and for reading.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Sorry, I forgot to ask when Lee's story will be coming also Parent Trap for moi?  He wanted me to be sure to ask and I completely forgot.  My bad!!!  lol



Author's Response:

Hey, lindc.:)  Well, I have to finish the next update of "Stallion" (had to break it down into two parts, because, once more, I got long-winded!), and then after that I'm due to update Lee's favorite ("Heart's Desire).  Then....Parent Trap.  I DO see that one ending fairly soon, but I have a ways to go yet.  Tell Lee he's 'up to bat' next, though.:)  Have a good night, my friend.  *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: lindc & the peeps (Anonymous) · Date: January 11, 2013 09:28 AM · On: Epilogue: I'm the Winner

This was a peach of a story.  we all loved it-but Lee the most I feel.  He is such a softy trying to be mr. macho.  We all know him too well, so he just is Lee.  He wants you to write more stories like this one.  He would have reviewed but he is working a double and had to get back to work.  The rest of us are done and on our way home.   lol



Author's Response:

Hi, lindc!  Tell Lee I'm thinking of him and appreciate the kind words.  I may have to get a more in-depth biography of him, though, if I'm going to recreate some of his greatest life moments - ha!  I'm so glad that you all enjoyed this one. I had fun writing it, even though I ws going crazy trying to get it all done within a month.  THAT was crazy!  Now at least I can go back to my normal posting schedule (after, that is, I finish the second part of "Stallion.").  Of course, I may have to do a one-shot for Valentine's Day at one point.

I've been toying with a sort of sequel to "Paper Hearts," but if I do it would be quite a ways off.  That's always the problem!  All these stories and not enough time to write them!  I hope all of you can get some much-needed rest. Thank you again for all your kindness.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Got to sleep now, i still need to work @10am.....now im looking forward for more new stories from you...and waiting for the new chapters of "Tame the Wild Stallion", I love this one too!

Author's Response:

You're too good to me, Cindy!  I'm so flattered by your words and your lack of sleep - ha!  THANK YOU so much for all the comments on this story!  You're very thoughtful.:)  I AM working on the next part of "Stallion."  It's coming up next for one more update before "Heart's Desire."  And not to fear; I always have new story ideas floating around in my head.  I'll probably wait a little while, though, until I can at least get one more WIP done.  I think I'm close with "Parent Trap," so maybe sometime soon.  There may be a few one-shots here and there, though; it's hard to let Valentine's Day pass without writing something for the boys.:)

Thanks again for all the support, Cindy!  Hope to hear from you again soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Thanks much Kim for the warm welcome!!! I regret not being a member before and quite shy to leave reviews since the day I started reading your stories as well as the other authors here in MW last year. But now that I finally signed up and was able to be an active reviewer, I enjoyed it much more coz I was able to get replies from the authors who's stories I adore much and feel in love with.
Even at work, I can't stop from always checking if new chapters had been up! Hehehehe.....waiting for more chapters to come!!! Hugssss.... :) :) :)

Damn you Kim.....you just had to go and make me cry didn't you? First you use my favorite Anita Baker song as their waltz, then Sunshine gets hurt just as they are about to win.

It's *sniff* too early *sniff* to be so emotional *sniff sniff* but I love you for it ;)

More soon please~JP

You're funny, Tamara!  So you like that song, too?  I was searching for good contemporary waltz songs and this one came up.  I listened to it and thought it would be perfect for the boys.:)  I think you'll particularly like the next chapter.  Thank you for all the wonderful comments, Tamara, and for all the support!  I'll post the next one in just a little while.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Just me again-to keep you abreast of our progress.  Up to next to the last chapter.  Everyone really into this. Have added two more people to the peeps-up to 7 now.  Had to find a bigger break room for everyone to sit.  Getting back to the way it was back east.  So much fun!!..You will get a big kick out of Lee.  He is so into this story and glad it is complete and can hear(time allowing) for the read.  I usually can read two or three chapters during break depending how long we have.  Lee really relates.  Dance recitals-need I say more.  So cute!!  lol

OMG, lindc!  You have a regular reading group going on out there - I find it so flattering as well as hilarious to think you're all sitting around reading my stories.  I'm so flattered.:)  Sounds like Lee was a regular, little Gene Kelly, wasn't he?  Ha!  I'm glad you, Brian, and Lee are feeling more at home out there.  You are all so special to me.  And I'm delighted that you're enjoying this story.:) 

I promise to go back to "Tame the Wild Stallion" shortly; I actually have about 6,000 words or so of that chapter already written, but I'm just now at the town social, so I have a ways to go.  My students' quarterly grades are due on Monday, so unfortunately I'll probably be doing grades all weekend - ugh.  But I WILL update it again soon, and then it's onto Lee's favorite political story.:)

Thank you again for all the wonderful support you all have given me; I feel so lucky that you chose my stories to follow, and it means more than you know.  I still intend to come out in June for the QAF con - not sure how close you are to Long Beach, but I would LOVE to meet all of you!  Take care and talk to you soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

P.S.  Tell Nonie I said hello as well and I hope she's still doing fine.:)

Woot, finally the boys are going on a dreaded d-word! I don't understand why the prospect of sharing a meal with another man offends Brian so much. Buying me a meal is the quickest way to get into my pants... and Brian is hoping to do the same with Justin, so why did Justin have to twist Brian's arm?! :D



Author's Response:

LOL!  Well, he DOES have to eat; only I think he's wanting to 'eat' something besides linguini - ha!  Thanks for all the comments, Nancy.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Brian has been alone with Justin for all of two minutes, and already he wants to show him the goods! Awesome Brian, awesome. :)

Hello, my dear. I just wanted to let you know that I took the time to search this one out last night over at LJ. This was such a thoroughly delightful tale. I love what you did with it. Of course... I'm not sure a gift exchange normally entails saga like material. But... I know you, my friend. You have much to tell in each story! *Grins* Seriously though, it's always fun to see our sweet blond take Brian out of his element. Fabulous job on this one.

Now, I suppose I should work on getting a witchy Brian posted. Haha. Until next time. *Hugsss*

Hi, my friend - thank you for taking the time out of your incredibly busy schedule to track this down to read it; I'm pleased that you liked it.:)  Congrats on the wonderful initial reaction to your new story, too; everyone gets so excited when they see a new story from you (not surprisingly).  Thanks again.  ~Kim

I was wondering what was Debbie's personal reason for agreeing to help with the benefit.
Will Michael be a part of your story?
Thank you for this chapter, :).

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend; no, Michael is mentioned, but I don't think he would have really contributed to this story, so he's just mentioned in passing.  Thank you for all the reviews, BTW, and for reading; I really appreciate that a lot.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2013 04:19 AM · On: A Personal Mission

Justin might have to pay for his control on the dance floor in a very big way. I don't think we'll see a toppy Justin in the bedroom after this.
Lori

Author's Response:

Hi, Lori.  Sadly, no; not in this chapter.  But if it helps, I'm writing a second chapter to the puzzle story, since Justin was feeling a little put out over not winning his bet with Brian, aka 'the cheater' - ha!  Not sure if I will actually post it, though, because people tend to get riled up over a toppy Justin even if it's mentioned beforehand.  I'm not quite done with it, but if you're interested, email me and I'll send you the second part. Thank you very much for reading and for the support; I really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2013 04:10 AM · On: The Lesson Continues

I figured Justin's sad story of not being able to afford Art School would work on Brian's sympathy button. Now if they don't win he'll feel obligated to pay for him to attend school. I'm surprised Brian didn't ask for help applying the Ben Gay on his sore parts!
Lori

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2013 04:03 AM · On: Getting to Know Each Other Better

Right away Brian has to get all bossy about who is in charge, acting all top dog. I hope Justin can neuter him at least in the dance studio and maybe some of that down boy will carry over into what might come next. I'm very shocked by the short tiny chapters you've written, how unusual for you. Thank god your amazing quality and attention to detail is still there. I'm wondering what they are going to order for lunch. I'm afraid that it's a dance studio it will be a very light lunch, probably not a huge slab of BBQ Ribs with plenty of sauce to lick off each other.

You're very sweet, Tamara, and I thank you for continuing to review.  I'll probably post the rest tonight; there's a lot more chapters but I'd just as soon get it all up (why does that sound like Brian all of a sudden? LOL!). Thank you again for the support.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2013 03:53 AM · On: The First Lesson

I hope Justin can resist for a tiny bit, I'm sure it must be very difficult to be able to touch Brian as must be done for dance and not go just a little closer and find out if he was telling the truth about the size of his...ego....yep, that's what he's got super sized! Sure we all know his pants are well stocked too, his wallet is huge. Am I missing anything?

I sure hope Brian has to put up a good fight to get more than dance lesson from Justin. He seems just a little too confident of his chances. I'm thrilled to hear Michael won't be showing up, I did get a little worried when his name was mentioned. Loved all the wonderful details of each contestant.

Well and that;s a deep subject.  I trolled around and around and finally found this story in its entirety. so I am reading it before reading any updates.  I will, of course, read all your updates as soon as I have gotten completely shagged.  The peeps simply love this story-am up to chapter 10-so it will be finished in a few days.   So good!!!!  Lee just thinks this one is wonderful- I guess his mother made him take ballroom when he was a kid because he wasn't too athletric although he did play soccer til he got hurt. S0000 he is feeling sympathy for Brian.  He already knows how it's going to end--he thinks.  Any way-just to update you on us and your story.  lol



Author's Response:

Aha! So THAT'S where you're been - ha!  I'm so delighted that you and the 'peeps' are enjoying this one.  I'm glad, too, that Lee especially likes this one.  I remember him identifying with the birthday mob story, too, because, I think, his mom used to take him to Central Park, so it sounds like it might be bringing back some good memories here, too.  Tell everyone that I said hello and that I hope your year is a wonderful one for all of you; you're all very special to me.  Stay in touch!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Reader (Anonymous) · Date: January 07, 2013 07:45 AM · On: The Bet

I am so happy that I decided to read this fic. Usually I wait until a few chapters are up because I don't like to wait for updates.

When the updates are far apart, I would start rereading the first chapter or earlier chapters to be reminded of the plots.

I see that this one is completed and would be updated regularly. Looking  forward to Brian's reaction to him, obviously, losing the bet.Love the idea of this fic. Would it be a bit of dirty dancing?



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and for the comments.  I perfectly understand your dilemma, too; I'm the same way, and I, also,wind up having to reread a previous chapter sometimes.  I do complete every one of my stories, but I admit that lately I haven't been able to update quite as much as I would like to due to my teaching job.  At least I CAN assure you in this case that this story is, indeed, complete, so posting frequently will not be a problem with this one.  I WILL update my other stories, though, too; "Tame the Wild Stallion" will hopefully be updated tomorrow evening. 

You should never have to worry about mine not being completed eventually; I have written 60 stories so far and have never left anyone hanging.  That's one of my pet peeves, too.:)  Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave me feedback'; I truly appreciate that. I'll get the next part up maybe even tonight.  I hope you continue to enjoy it!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Bigdogz09 (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 06:58 AM · On: The Bet

This sounds lovely and right up my alley.   Looking forward to seeing this develop! 

By the way, did you know that "shag" is slang for sexual intercourse in England?  When I saw the title, both of my eyebrows shot up to my hairline and I LOL-ed.  I know you mean dancing, but the other meaning is very enjoyable, too!  LOL.

Hope your holiday season was wonderful. 

All the best,

Laura



Author's Response:

Hi, Laura! So good to see you reading this.  And yes, the title was deliberate; I knew the shag was an old 60's dance, and thanks in part to the UK QAF and to Austin Powers, the double meaning was intentional.   You busted me - LOL!  Thank you for reading and for the comments.  The holidays kind of went by in a blur, and it's back to teaching again.  I do hope you have a wonderful 2013, Laura.  Thank you again for taking the time to comment; that means a lot to me.:)  Oh, and there will be BOTH kinds of 'shagging' in this story (wink, wink)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

LOL.  I love Brian.  I really truly do, but every once in a while I LOVE when his true friends (and a good guy like Emmett) gets a chance to pull one over on him.  Brian is very harsh with his (admittedly correct) commentary and criticisms, so being brought down a peg or two seems necessary so he doesn't become a complete ass.

I'm also absolutely thrilled to see the number of people already having read this fic! With your quality writing and loyal fans I can be happily assured the QAF fandom will continue to live and florish.  Thank you soooooo much for your contribution to that legacy!

Happy New Year!



Author's Response:

Hi, Michelle!  First of all, thank you for the lovely comments; that means the world to me.:)  I still love these boys greatly and have a lot of other ideas swimming around in my head.  I don't dare start them yet, though, but eventually I will.  This one (for a change!) is actually a completed work, so I can post it a lot faster than I can some of the others; in fact, I may post another chapter yet tonight.

I do like the idea of Brian being less than confident on the dance floor; we all know he didn't go to Babylon to show off his dance technique - LOL!  Thanks again for your wonderful feedback and for reading; I hope I can continue to write stories that you will enjoy.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: JustBeAQueen (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2013 05:23 AM · On: The Bet

HI! 

So wonderful to see a new story from you, my friend. Busy much? What is that, 4 WIPs? Not that I can say much, I think I have 2 or 3 that actually aren't being written at the moment. One day soon I will continue. So happy to hear that this one is complete and you tease you, you're giving us a bit at a time... naughty girl! ;) 

Love the bet, though. I always knew that if one person from the group could give Brian a run for his money it would be Emmett. Especially during the time he was dating Drew, he was so confident and funny, and hot (and I usually didn't find Emmett hot, definitely cute, but that was the first time I thought he was hot). 

Of course I love AU's, especially yours, and I absolutely can't wait for more! The thought of Justin being the dance instructor, and Brian loosing the bet, can't wait to see the background and eventual story with those! 

Only one problem with the story... I have to go to FF.net and find this story so I can sign up for story alerts. ;) 

Cheers, Laura :) xoxoxo 



Author's Response:

Hi, Sweetie!  I noticed you already did that; thanks.   I know if you favorite an author on MW, an alert shows up that there's a new story posted, but I think you're right; I don't think it does that when you UPDATE a story.  Hmmm...sounds like Bob might need to do some programming for that (if it's possible).  I'll try to ask him about that.:)  If I get my arm twisted, I might post another chapter tonight.  There'll be 19 in all.  Thanks for reading and for the comments; you know I always look forward to your thoughtful feedback.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

 

Oh, and if you don't count this one, I have three WIPS right now; with my job that's about the most I could manage and still update fairly regularly.  But I WILL update "Stallion" in the next few days - promise!  I've got over 10,000 words of that one written, but I'll probably have to break it up into two parts.:)

yeah a new story :) I'm sure I'm gonna love this story.

Great start. 

Thank you.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  You're very kind.:) I'll probably post another chapter later this evening to introduce the other contestants.  Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment; I really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Yeah!  this is a good premise-Emmett has the upper hand for once.  This must be the story you wrote for another site.  Maybe I can find it and finish reading.  Boy nineteen chapters love long stories as you know.  Will read to peeps tomorrow.  Everyone is great, had a nice New Years Eve.  Hope you did as well.  We all behaved ourselves and stayed pretty much sober.  We hired a dd to be safe.  Now I'm off to find the rest of this story-piqued my curiosity big time.  lol



Author's Response:

Hi, lindc!  You're so impatient!;)  But I'm very flattered.:)  Let me know if you need help finding it - I WILL get it posted over here in fairly short order, though; I may even post another chapter of it tonight.

I always loved Emmett's character on the show - he will be making another appearance, but it will be near the end after the boys have become better acquainted.;)  Thanks as always for reading and for the comments; I'm glad you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and I wish nothing but the best for you in the coming year.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

LOL! I see you figured out the connection; that's exactly where I got it from.:)  I thought since shag had two connotations, it was the perfect title for this.:)  It's good to see you back on here, my friend.  I'm glad you'll be following this one; thanks for the comments!  *Hugs* ~Kim

Again a great story! Smiled the whole time while I read it. You're so gifted!

:)



Author's Response:

Aww...you're very kind; thank you for reading and for those wonderful comments; that really makes ME smile.:)  I'll probably post one more chapter later this evening; as you can see they're much shorter than my normal chapters - ha!  Thank you again for taking the time to leave me feedback - that is very motivating to me.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Awww...you're so sweet; thank you very much!  This one was a lot of fun to write; it will be nineteen chapters altogether, and (for a change!) is complete; I'll try to post at least one chapter a day. Thank you for reading and taking the time to leave me feedback; I always greatly appreciate that.  And thank you for the lovely comments.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

As soon as I get to feeling better I'm going to try and follow this one.

:) I have taken off 18 pounds in 4 weeks!!! Only a 100 more to go.

Target: 155 lbs.



Author's Response:

That's wonderful, Bob!  Congratulations!  I need to start eating better myself; maybe you'll be my inspiration.;)  Thanks for the comments, my friend; I hope you get to feeling better soon.  I know when I lose weight that always helps, so I hope it does the same for you.  *Hugs*  ~Kim
