MinervaFan

Okay, boys and girls. Every person on the LoveFest who didn't sign a lease for a new apartment and who isn't moving this weekend, please take one step back. *crickets* MinervaFan is standing alone in a line, while you're all one step behind her, right? It's a squeelicious day. Breakroom, my lovelies? I feel like frolicking. As it is, I may even write a little short for Sister Mary Hotpants! http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Tracy's favorite flavor of cake is lemon. It goes with the lime sherbet, which goes with the tequila. Oh, MsQ, I'm muchly hating most of those rumors you posted. If this becomes the Jason Show again, I will just puke my guts out. And Luke protecting one of his own--SpankyBuns is your OWN TRUE LOVE, jacka$$, so you better be protecting you some WIFE, boy. Sorry, I'm in a cruddy mood because I just wasted two hours in a training class where I learned NOTHING. Oh, and Regency, TracyLuv, and MsQ--I've been reading the transcript from last night between work calls today. Ya'll are some interesting women. I was a wuss in school. TL, you are so Tracy's Mini-Me. LMFAO about Sister Sicely and Sister Felicia. As a 10-year Catholic School Survivor, I think you are now one of my new heroines! We need T-Shirts. "Tracy Quartermaine Got Me Through Catholic School."

Loving the idea for the AU story, Regency. Wanting to call the comment line, ILTQ. Agreeing that Jane looks better now than she did when I started watching a year ago, and she looked dayum hawt then... One day to JanieMas 2007! Squee.

The JanieMas 2007 Official Tequila Blow-Out and Limbo Contest should take place here, though, dontcha think? I'm all about flooding the comment line--I'll just have to pick up a phone card. As for the February sweeps extravaganza, I'm still trying to get past the fact that none of the doctors wore sterile masks during the Monkey Fever epidemic last February. If they put as much thought and research into their little 24-ripoff, I'll be snoozing on the FF button, waiting for Jane and Tony to make their five-second appearances.

I never watched B&B, but even I knew who Sally Spectra was. Fey was a huge fan of the character. I'm sorry to learn of her passing. She was definitely representing us larger than life women on soaps, something we sorely need today.

Oh, my fracking gawd! Tracy...on...seven...shows...in...a...row! I think I'm going to faint. I'll be peaking in and out of the Break Room while working on the AU, if anybody's interested. http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Dude, we have two Tracy episodes this week? I know about Tuesday. What's the other? Oh, I wrote a letter to Stuart Damon and will be mailing it with a copy of "Faces" (my Tracy-Alan story) after work. I'm just that serious.

LMFAO. I don't know whay, but that just cracks me the hell up! Oh, and on a more somber note-- SPOILER/RUMOR RE: Stuart Damon from SZ > > > Stuart Damon's (Alan's) DEATH SCENE will be filmed on February 2 and 5th to air on February 16th and concluding on February 19th, as of this writing. Since it is not filmed yet...KEEP WRITING AND CALLING! DO NOT LET YOUR VOICES DIE DOWN... John Ingle was saved a few years back and I seriously doubt he got the kinda fan reaction to his ouster that Stuart is getting regarding his. In any event, if fans saved Edward, fans can save Alan. Other sources are telling me that in addition to Stuart, Rachel Ames might be killed off as well. ABC SUCKS. SAVE STUART, and Rachel...hell your letters and calls will save other vets collaterally...KEEP WRITING AND CALLING. BOMBARD DISNEY'S PHONE LINES... 818-560-1000 ASK FOR ANNE SWEENEY, BRIAN FRONS, ALEX WALLUA.... NOT ONLY THAT, but Stuart could use some kind words himself. Write him directly... maybe the fan mail will also be noticed by the network as it gets logged when it arrives. One things for certain, you will change nothing if you do nothing. Write Stuart with your words of encouragement here: Stuart Damon c/o ABC-TV General Hospital 4151 Prospect Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90027 Information courtesy of Darcy at Total TV Online. Oh, give me a fracking break! They are going to make the man film his death scene on his 70th frackin' birthday? TIIC are sadists, and not the fun kind, either. I'm sending the man a letter.

Where IS everybody today? I've decided that I'm going to publish my Wish List for JanieMas 2007, just a little one-stopping birthday shopping list for the Divine Ms. Elliot. Anybody want to join in and publish their own wish lists for Jane & Tracy? For Jane: Continued good health. Job satisfaction. Challenging and rewarding scripts. Family stability and happiness. Lots and lots of laughter, good food, great relationships, and enduring friendships. For Tracy: Her own business. A separation from the Quartermaines that does not involve banishment; rather, a personal choice to move out on her own. Many moments of connection and love with her sons. A decent wardrobe. Sex. Lots of it, and of the satisfying variety. Preferably with Luke, but I won't turn my nose up at another, more stable lover, is that's what she chooses. Freedom from Daddy, on a physical, emotional, financial, and psychological level. Did I mention mind-blowing, toe-curling, blood-pumping monkey sex with the partner of her choice? A brother who survives Sweeps. No long-lost supposedly-aborted daughters (or previously unknown granddaughters) coming back to ruin her life. A Lila moment. Something she says, does, or experiences that lets her know that she has just as much Lila in her as she does Edward.

I think we'll get one Tracy episode this week, to wrap up the Sam-ELQ thing, and then we'll have to wait until Luke gets home for more. Sorry to be pessimistic, but it's 7:20 in the morning and I'm not awake enough for optimism. Fey cracked me up. She's been on one of her "I'm so sick of your Tracy obsession" kicks lately, and was sort of annoyed when I popped in Friday's tape. (She still loves Tracy; she's just sick of me talking about her ALL the time.) Anyway, we were scanning through the Dorian scenes on OLTL, then I was like, "Do you want to see Tracy?" (Granted, I'd already watched these suckers at 9 o'clock Saturday morning.) She responds with a heavy sigh, and it's obvious she'd rather keep playing the SIMS. So I rewind the tape, and then she feels guilty and says, "Oh, just show me." So I FAST-FORWARD the tape back to where Tracy gets the lead on Sam and gives that homina-homina smile o'evil. Fey turns just in time to catch the smile, and she's like "F--- Me, Mama!!!!" I just ROFLMAO. Even the hardened and disillusioned are still putty in the hands of She Who Cannot Be Denied. All Hail the Wicked Tracy Q!

LaineyBev, you know MsQ is gonna bow to the IMMENSE peer pressure and include lots of steamy, hot LuNacy Monkey Sex in Oh, Baby. She has to, because nobody makes us read 100+ chapters with no smutty pay-off! Sorry I had to bail on the chat last night--Fey was doing Algebra homework, so I got a little extra online time, but alas, even Algebra eventually comes to an end. I finally got to watch Friday's scenes (lol at those of you who naively thought I was going to say "episode," like I watch anything more than Tracy's scenes anymore). First of all, our girl is looking more drop-dead gorgeous every time we see her, and I'm beginning to realize something. Tracy is only allowed to look really hot when she's playing the villian. Look at when she was teamed up with Helena to destroy Num--she was killer fine. As a villain, she's allowed (preferred) to be sexy and dangerous looking. But as Luke's cuckolded wife? She needs must look pathetic, because if Tracy were allowed to be her regular Tracy hawtness, Luke would look like the fool he is for chasing after other women when he has somebody like Tracy back home waiting for him. And you know, we can't make Luke look like a fool. And now, since it's long overdue, I think some more letters need to be written to the characters. Dear Sam, You're out of your league. Go home. Signed: Heather Webber, Gina Solieto, and Jenny Eckert ~~ Dear Dillon, You are no longer a Quartermaine. Why don't you stop playing detective and snooping into things that can hurt people you claim to love, and do what you really ought to do. Go find your biological father. He's as selfish, disloyal, and completely devoid of a sense of obligation to his family as you are. Yes, Dillon, you're a Hornsby through and through. Be gone, before I drop a house on you. MinervaFan ~~ Dear Edward, You will rot in hell. I have it on good authority. Oh, and if by some chance you wind up where I am, be forewarned. The couch is uncomfortable as hell, and that's where you'll be sleeping through eternity. Lila ~~ Dear Tracy, Start your own business. It worked for me, and I've got scads of money, a great work environment, and a Simon of my very own to prove it. You'll never earn his approval, so why not work on earning your own instead? Love you, sis! Tracy Walker ~~

COMPLETELY OFF_TOPIC: Newest Metaphysical Excuse: Sorry, Gawd, but the dog ate my tarot cards. We so need to move. ON-TOPIC: I got about five paragraphs written on the AU story. I've not been writing for so many weeks now, that I think I've forgotten how to do it. On-TOPIC I joined SOC, and made two incredibly pro-Tracy posts. ILTQ, from the chat transcript, I totally agree with you about how annoying the anti-Tracy stuff is. Like, do these people even WATCH the show? I didn't mean to get into the Sam-bashing, but come on. Do people really believe she's a viable opponent for Tracy?

I'm willing to bet that, in all that time when Tracy is NOT on our television screens, she is at the danged office, working her butt off. The "missing the motion by the lawyers" thing is just another example of TIIC propping one of the Darlings at the expense of a vet. JMO.

Re: revenge RUMORS. > > > You know, maybe I don't know the character of Tracy at all. Yeah, I probably don't. I think it depends on how it happens. If Alan's death is the direct result of being taken hostage, she could vow revenge on whoever took them hostage. But if it turns out that Alan's heart gives out because of the stress from Lulu's "investigation" (love how college freshmen make the best PIs!), I can't see her targeting Lulu. Just me. /end rumor talk ETA: Just saw clip one of the 1979 episode, MsQ. Oooooh, thank you. In that one clip, I have more on Mitch than I had before, and I will feel no remorse hanging him out to dry in my AU story. And isn't Susan Moore (?) Jason's biological mother? Hey, Jason, I can see why you're so in love with whatsername--you wanted a skank just like Mom. Oh, and Monica? Isn't it just a soap thang that LESLIE FREAKIN' WEBBER helped delivery A.J.? Oh, and did I mention I DETEST Mitch Williams? I mean, seriously, puke-inducing detest? ETA2: One final question: what is the URL to SOC? I'm not even sure what it stands for, so Googling is not an option. I'd love to read the Tracy thread. NEVER MIND: DUH. http://boards.soapcentral.com/

knh, Hella Good will probably have them up tonight, or by tomorrow. I haven't seen yet, but one poster at SZ said she had a truly wicked smile, and another said she was gorgeous. *basking in the glow of Sam-Hate Tracy Lurve.* *hoping this will remind people of why they need more Tracy on the screen* *sad because the only way some people will enjoy Tracy is when she is UberVillain, knowing that they are unwilling/unable to see anything more to the character, and wishing they could see her like we see her, as a truly complex, three-dimensional character*

From Tony's lips to TIIC's ears. They are really good together, and I'm serious--Jane brings out the professional in Tony. He's so much better in his scenes with her than in scenes with others. It may be my bias, but I've never seen him phone in a scene with Jane. She wouldn't stand for it. *sigh* Basking in the glow of Jane-ness, thrilled she had so much screen time this week. ETA: The story list, as requested. A Brief History of Humanity (MinervaFan): Tracy remembers a New Year’s Eve many years ago that changed her point of view forever. Running Away (Tianniki): Tracy tells Luke she loves him, then blames it on the alcohol. (Guess what? That’s not vodka in her glass.) Missing Scenes by Ms. Quartermaine: Georgie in the Hospital, Brook in the Hospital, and Ned at Thanksgiving, Tracy and Luke dance. Hidden Truths by Keith: Robert and Tracy discuss life. Fear Not by Regency: Tracy survives a traumatic kidnapping, but doesn’t come away from it unscathed. The Music by ElementalFey: Tracy reflects on one of the One’s Who Got Away. Live from The Blue Door by MinervaFan: Monica and Tracy get stuck in one of PC’s hottest lesbian bars. The Dance by ElementalFey: Tracy has been making the same dark mistakes with men all her life. Maybe this time it will be different. Session Three by MinervaFan: Tracy must attend court-ordered anger management sessions. The Same Place by Regency: Tracy begins again, in a place she thought she’d left behind, with a person she feared she’d never see again.

Okay, folks, weighing in on the ring thang. Lainey, sweetie, stop hyperventilating. *hands Lainey an inhaler* It's okay. My first thought--we are far too obsessed for our own good. I'm absolutely sure that no one else in the universe (besides maybe Jane and her director(s)) have noticed the ring. My second thought--it's not an accident. Jane did it on purpose--either her idea or the director(s). The reason: Either (a) to set up that Tracy divorced Luke (which is doubtful, but not entirely a bad thing) or ( to set up that Tracy is going to give Luke an ultimatum when he returns. Both reasons are GOOD from a Tracy standpoint. They say that she is done with this farce of a marriage and that she's going to stand up for herself. By taking off the ring, she is symbolically putting her foot down. She is saying, I've had enough, I'm not going to take it, and I'm not putting this symbol of fidelity and trust back on my hand until it actually means something...to both of us. Either way, it's good for LuNacy. Trust me, Lainey, a ring-free Tracy is GOOD for LuNacy. I've been saying from the start that there needs to be a shake-up and reconnect for anyone in PC to take LuNacy seriously. Luke has to earn her trust, and he hasn't been doing a good job of it. Everybody seems to know now that Tracy loves Luke, but nobody has a clue (except Lulu and maybe Dillon) that Luke loves Tracy. That has to change. Everybody has to know that the love is mutual, or Tracy will always be at the disadvantage in the marriage. And this can never become a real or stable couple until they're on equal footing. I think Jane and Tony know that, and I'm beginning to think (in their own feeble way) so do TIIC. The strength of LuNacy has always been that they were equally-match opponents. LuNacy suffers when one of them has the upper hand too long, and this one-sided love turns Lunacy into yet another tragic thang that can't go on forever. Balance the love--make it mutual--and you can still have them jockeying for power, playing their little power games, setting each other up--all from a position of mutual love and respect. Then, it's fun. At this point, it's kind of sad. So, yeah, Tracy. Take off that ring. Reclaim your power. And when he's groveled and begged and proven his love to you, then go and reclaim your husband. Oh, and MsQ? I LOVE the Jane Elliot banner. She's so squee-licious!

Colleen shows up at Nikolas and Emily's motel and fights with Emily, who gets the upper hand and is about to shoot Colleen when Nikolas arrives, talks Emily down and has Colleen arrested. Carly can't go through with the wedding and bolts. Jason finds her and is finally able to convince her to go through with it by offering his word he'll get her a divorce as soon as Sonny's safe. Later, after she and Sonny exchange vows, Carly has Max create a distraction for Sonny and takes off with the kids, explaining to Michael she's setting boundaries.

Re: Sam-Tracy resemblance. Noooooooooo!!!!

Saw yesterday's scenes last night--I so totally hate Edward, it's not funny. I'm serious. He's evil incarnate. And Sam? What sort of job applicant goes to the CEOs home with resume in hand begging for a job? Especially one with no credentials (hell, you don't even have a GED???) and no experience? I'll tell you what sort of job applicant? One who knows she doesn't have a chance in Hades of getting the job by going through the normal HR channels, and wants to exploit the fact that she's sleeping with the CEO's nephew to get a job she doesn't deserve through nepotism. And guess what? She's Gonna Get It! Because Edward is a psycho who is beyond obsessed with getting an "heir" he can mold (read: control) in his own image. And he doesn't care who he hurts, screws, betrays, or destroys on the way. He tried to do it with Lulu, now he's setting his sights on a baby Sam hasn't even conceived yet! If Tracy and Alan had any sense, they'd put him in a home somewhere where he had no access to communications with the outside world. ELQ would benefit, the family would benefit, and we'd all get some peace and quiet on the whole "Quartermaine heir" issue. Get 'em, Tracy. Go all Queen of Mean on his a$$. Seriously, and take Sam with you while you're at it. Oh, and Tracy? Ya look gorgeous, babe. ETA: I mailed the copy of the zine to Jane at lunch. I sent it priority (2nd Day) mail, so it should reach the ABC mailroom no later than Tuesday. Oy. No turning back now.

Angel on MinervaFan's Shoulder: Oh, dear. We shouldn't be so thrilled at all of Jane's airtime. It's coming in a storyline that will deprive a talented actor of his livelihood, and kill off one of daytime television's most beloved characters.
