Well Ms.Q,LOL,I meant "so far" as in, "I know it's not finished but I'm liking what I'm reading,"

Sorry for any confusion.

I honestly would take a ton of fan fics over anything Guza writes,because of one little detail: I know Tracy fans love her,and the stories therefore are written by people who adore the character.

Guza/Pratt....I don't know how they feel about her character.

They certainly aren't above making her the butt of a LOT of jokes..and that to me is not a sign that they like the character.

Of course they did the same to A.J.,and Guza/Pratt have been quoted in print as saying they love A.J.

So *shrug,*who knows anymore?

I have read all five...thanks for the PM's,you're a doll!

I don't have a complaint at all.

I like the way you've made it not just about Tracy,but incorporated pretty much all of the Q's and their points of view.

I like that you showed things GaP can't be bothered to show,like Alan and the family's reaction to what Luke did.

I would have given a month's salary for the scenes between Stuart and Tony if Alan had been shown finding out what Luke did re: Coleman.

I like that your Dillon defends his mother.

I like that you seem to have a good grasp on the characters in terms of speech and personality,I can see the scenes playing out in my mind without difficulty,and that's a good thing,if I can imagine it,I think it's true to character.

Oh,I can't wait for the rest,I hope you have lots in store for us,in terms of Dillon/Tracy,Lulu/Tracy,Luke/Tracy and maybe even Edward/Tracy and Brook/Tracy.

Georgie/Tracy could be interesting as well. I have always wanted them to talk about what Tracy did...to get it out in the open.

Anyway,I am thoroughly enjoying the story.

MORE PLEASE!

PS are you already through writing it? Or is it a work in progress?

ILoveTracyQ, thank you so much for taking the time to read my fic and comment on it. It means a lot to me, and I am glad you are enjoying it. :)

Well, there is some good news and some bad news. The bad news is I have completed the fanfic, and there are only "entire family" scenes remaining...Well, there's one exception. ;)

The good news is I have another fic. It is set one year after Lila's death. I actually started it in early April; finished it in late July and have been revising it on/off since then. (i.e. I needed to account for the Luke/Tracy marriage, which I was not going to include at first, alter some of the dialogue, etc.). In any case, that fanfic includes Tracy/almost everyone. I'll try and post some of it tonight. [small voice] Revising was not the only reason I held off. I didn't have the courage to post it. I do now, so hopefully everyone will forgive me for waiting so long. :) [/small voice]

Well I'm glad you had the courage to step forward and post them.

You have a natural talent,and like I said,you love the characters....you should apply for a job on the writing staff of GH! :)

*runs off to read fan fic updates*

ETA I read the latest Thanksgiving chapter. Are you ending it there? I loved the mashed potato food fight. LOL

I only noticed one thing,LOL...I think you had Monica calling Tracy Alan's sister in law instead of his sister.

The new fan fic...oh,it's awesome. Had me close to tears,it was sooo realistic.

I think they briefly mentioned Lila this past summer but I'm not sure,I know there was nothing major done. Good job,I can't wait for the new chapters. :)

Oops. That should say "My sister-in-law is right." Thanks for telling me. And there is one more chapter. I'm glad you are liking the other fic too. The new chapters should be up later. :)

ETA: Tracy was ON today, and she may have been wearing a new jacket. It looked similiar to something she's worn before, but I think it was different. I need to consult with coolkid. LOL.

Isn't Lulu/Tracy supposed to come later this week? Cable Guide Spoilers are generally accurate. Hmm...This doesn't make sense because Tracy is supposed to ask Lulu to spy on Luke (in regards to ELQ, right? And this ELQ "story" hasn't even been brought up). Can I hope for Lulu/Tracy tomorrow AND Thursday then? :D

Hey coolkid I read your update,too....Stefan,huh? :)

I miss him,and I could totally go for a Stefan/Tracy hookup.

A Stefan/Tracy/Luke triangle...even better,and I hate triangles,so that's saying something for me.

Ms.Q I love both your fan fics....can't wait to see what's coming for the second one.

I have not watched yesterday's episode yet and it may be this weekend before I get a chance as I am having cable problems.

Keep me informed of the good stuff!

ILoveTracyQ, I think you'll enjoy Lulu/Tracy. There was a fun negotation scene between them today; I just hope it leads somewhere. Also...Luke once again admitted that he likes being married to his "little Spanky Buns." But earlier he told Skye that he loved her (Skye), so I have no idea what is going on. *sighs*

About my fic...The newest chapters should be up later tonight. I hope I don't disappoint. ;) These next 2 chapters don't contain as much emotion as the others. And aww, ILoveTracyQ, you recommended my fics! Thanks! *blushes*

Coolkid, I am lovin' your story. I loved Lulu's fantasy of Dillon. That would make for some very interesting family gatherings. Everyone would be related in more ways than one. I think. LOL. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Oh yes coolkid the Lulu/Dillon fantasy was a HOOT! :D

So,let's see: we now have possibly Stefan,Luke,AND Paul all interested in our girl....hmm.

I'm conflicted. LOL

Because you know how much I have always wanted a Tracy/Stefan hook-up.

Decisions,decisions. :)

Still haven't gotten to watch yet,it looks like it will be this weekend.

I read the transcripts for yesterday and today,though....I didn't see the scene,how did TG portray the "ILY" to Skye?

As a friend,or something more?

If I recall,I don't think Luke has EVER told Skye he loved her...has he?

So,if it really meant something romantic,wouldn't he do it in a romantic way?

I'm confused,too.

Although it did my heart good to hear him say he enjoyed being married to Tracy.

Now,if he'd just tell her that.

ILoveTracyQ, about the ILY, I'd have to watch the scene again to give you an answer, but I was definitely not expecting it. I too believe it was the first time. And hasn't Luke already told Tracy that he enjoys being married to her? Kind of. LOL. I remember him saying, "I'm proud to be Mr. Tracy Quartermaine." Then he proceeded to go about how he was using their marriage to avoid commitment to Skye, so it lost its impact. *sigh*

And today? Hysterical! I can't wait until you watch, ILoveTracyQ! I was literally laughing out loud. :lol: And I wonder who Lulu is playing. Luke or Tracy? It appears to be Luke, but wouldn't he have known? Oh I don't know! I'd love to see Tracy win this one, but I have a hard time believe THAT would happen.

Jane was on 4 times this week! (i havent seen todays eppie) And she has been ROCKIN! I love Tracy and Lulu. And jane lights up when shes around her. To me Tracy seems like she enjoys Lulu's company, and she seems like she sees a mini version of herself in Lulu.

Im glad you all liked the new chapter. Ms. Q your story is rockin my socks off!

Okay,so I finally watched Mon-Thursday of this week,and some of Friday.(she wasn't on Friday,coolkid,although four days this week? I think the only other time that happened this year is the week Tracy and Luke got married.)

My first observations: Man, the Q/Lacy/Lulu scenes sure are short. The teen scenes are short,too. While JaSam and Courtney's and Carly's and Emily's scenes drag on,and on,and on.......

I liked what I saw overall. I still think Jane and Tony have killer chemistry,and I liked that Luke told Alice he liked being married to Tracy....but if he likes it,why the scramble to get the ELQ stocks? I don't think it has much to do with money...I think Luke WILL use it as leverage against Tracy for whatever reason,or maybe he just wants it as a backup plan.

Maybe he figures if he has it,Tracy will "stay in line",as he said,and not divorce him. But if he'd just tell her what he told Alice,I think she'd tell him the same.

BUT on the other hand,I kinda like the adversarial part of their relationship,too. I know both of them like a challenge.

So if we could have them admit that they care,but still remain on their toes,it could be even better.

Sorry if I'm rambling,I am really,really tired. LOL

Yes Ms.Q....I love your story,read the latest chapter,and once again I was brought near tears.

I just love my Q's so much,and how great would it have been if we'd seen them recognize the anniversary of Lila's death onscreen.

Well,they sort of did,because the Charitable Endowment Scenes were about the same time as the anniversary of her death. But that just wasn't enough.

Ms.Q you should not have been so shy about posting your fics...they're good.

Okay,so now someone *cough* LOL...has to do an adventure story.

coolkid...Ms.Q,I'm looking at YOU guys.

I don't think I could write about Tracy....I love her TOO much,and I don't think I could be objective.

Um,about the spoilers posted on SON............ :angry:

SPOILER DISCUSSION......................................................................

................................................

So,Lulu steals money from Tracy's bank account. Huh. I guess that's the end of Tracy/Lulu bonding...or is it?

Tracy tells Luke about it,and I guess demands that Lulu be sent to boarding school.

Lulu doesn't strike me as too bright,LOL...can't she tell she's no match for Tracy?

And then Luke/Skye share a kiss?

*SIGH*

:(

SPOILER DISCUSSION ENDED.................................................

Tracy is ALWAYS rockin', coolkid. ;) My mother even enjoys Lulu/Tracy. I was confused because she doesn't like Tracy, but then the other night we were discussing GH (which I HATE because she usually goes on and on about Sonny and co.), and she tells me, "Tracy and Lulu are good together." My response? "Mom, is everything all right?" She laughed and told me for all those times she gave me a hard time about enjoying her, Tracy's scenes can be really good. (My thought: Of course her scenes are good!) LOL. My mother even went on to say that Tracy is making her enjoy Lulu! Just thought I'd share.

Yay! ILoveTracyQ is posting again! Heh. I thought the same thing about the 4 episodes/week. Then I thought about it some more. LOL. JE was on 4 days during the train wreck. Not that she had much of a role. Hmph. And then there were the CE scenes. Those were on Monday and carried over into Tuesday. The CE scenes were also the same week as Carly's Gala (one day the Q's were invited, the next day they attended.) So that's 4 too. And maybe there were 4 episodes at one point during the Coleman SL? LOL. The fact that I can remember the times she appeared in 4 episodes means it hasn't happened often. <_< Also...not only are the Luke/Tracy/Lulu scenes shorter, but there also seems to be less of them. Eh well...Less is more, right? LOL. And this SL is so confusing sometimes. Luke enjoys the marriage but wants a divorce?

Thanks for the compliments on the fanfic! I'm sorry I didn't post the "One Year Ago" one sooner. Hmm, an adventure story? I probably write adventure as "good" as GaP. But if coolkid has any ideas, I'd love to read them.

Random Thought: I loved Tracy's line to Luke about the Old Testament/punishing entire civilizations. LOL.

Lulu/Tracy were too good to last. But perhaps there is still hope? I'm also not liking the idea of a Skye/Luke kiss. That is NOT a good early Christmas present. Anyone see the newest "spoilers" at SoapDish? There was a rhyming poster who, while may have not been a real insider, shared some clues...The posters concluded that (if this "insider" is indeed an insider), Tracy is going to try and kill Luke but shoots Skye instead. :o It is so out there that I don't know where to begin. My guess it that it's inaccurate, but who knows? Maybe Tracy will end up in prison during TG's next vacation. Errr...I hope I didn't give TIIC an idea.

WHAT????

Do you have a link to that post?

I wouldn't worry about that too much...Soap Dish is just a bunch of hooey as far as I know.

But I would like to read it. If it's true...so help me GOD.....*SIGH*

I have been worrying about Tracy...how TIIC might write Jane off if her contract isn't renewed next year.

Hey,if Rick Webber,AJ,Stefan...if they can have it happen to them,Tracy's not safe.

But for such a thing to happen,Tracy would probably just set Luke up for a crime and send him to prison,like she tried to do to Paul back in the day.

But not THAT.

The Tracy-related "clues" begin on this page by a poster named HMMM..MMMM.

Skye/SkyLo Clues: Babbay! Babbay! Babbay! Dontcha you are so finnnnnnnne! Janies gotsa ya! What will little Janie do? Skye gonna get, get, get it poppin! Janies gotsa a guunnnnn! Skye is gonna get get get it poppin! (Speculation included SkyLo baby, Janie=Jane Elliot=Tracy shooting Skye, or perhaps Skye shooting someone?!?)

Luke Clues: Ya gotta bad! Ya gotta bold! Ya gotta be wizer! Ya be hard! Ya gotta be tough! Ya gotta stronger! Ya gotta be cool! Ya gotta calm! Ya gotta stay together! Cause things about a ta change! Ya wife is trying to kill you! Ya daughta is acting fool! And ya redhead has left you! And ya gotta move on! Buuuuut he'll save da day aye! ("Wife is trying to kill you"=self-explanatory. This is where it was "concluded" that Tracy tries to shoot Luke, but shoots Skye instead.)

Who knows? I wouldn't put it pass TIIC. But this is just too ridiculous. SoapDish has been accurate at times, but my guess (or my hope, LOL) is the poster was just having some fun. We'll find out sooner or later.

    • You are going to be so proud of me because I agree.  I kept thinking why is Sonny/Mo getting all the dialogue and gate keeping everyone's feelings when there are 3 other capable actors in these scenes?  Ned should have told Sonny to shut up lol. I am fine with Sonny getting a reaction, but he got 90% of the airtime for his reaction.  I don't even think it's mental health that's keeping his job.  MB wouldn't get this much time on screen if it was a pity thing.  Frank is too afraid to cut Sonny because of fan reaction.  I know there aren't any Sonny fans here, but I do think there are Sonny fans out there (besides me) lol.
    • I've been looking at the ratings during and after each head writer switch.  The ratings during Marcus' tenure (Oct 74 to April 75) were very good but at first not quite as high a Upton's (who was there six months prior. Marcus left when Mary Hartman was picked up as she was a creator and head writer). I've watched Marcus' interviews on Youtube; she discusses most of the soaps she worked on. She liked the money; she's not all warm and fuzzy about writing for them. She loved nighttime genres that gave her writing more flexibility than soapy dramas. But she was good at writing soaps.  By April 75, SFT was no.2 in the ratings behind ATWT. O'Shea was next (lasted 18 months) and in May 75, SFT high No. 1. When O'Shea left the show as still in the top five. O'Shea moved to OLTL in 77? but not as head writer so not sure why she left SFT. The Corringtons were the safest bet to keep long term. They needed to change direction by 1980 as the ratings were  dropping but still very solid 6s/low 20s share). They should have expanded the show to an hour and given the Corringtons some direction and more budget. One has to wonder about two people who were with the show for a long time: Mary Ellis Bunim was promoted to EP when she was about 28, amazingly and a woman! She as talented but she went through at 11 head writer changes if she started in 1974.  Here's her list of writers: Theodore Apstein (January 1974 – May 1974) 5 mo Gabrielle Upton (May 1974 – November 1974) 6 mo Ann Marcus (October 1974 - April 1975) 6 mo Peggy O’Shea (April 1975 – November 1976) 18 mo Irving Elman (with James Lipton) (November 1976 – Summer 1977) 9 mo Robert J. Shaw with Charles/Patti Dizenzo (August 1977 - Spring 78) 6-9 mo? Henry Slesar (Spring 78 to August 78) 3-4 mo? Corringtons (August 1978 to May 1980) 1 yr/9mo Linda Grover/John Porterfield (May 1980 to mid July 1980) 3 mo. Gabrielle Upton (July 1980 to at least through March or April) Harding Lemay April to June 81 writers' strike Don Chastain (Summer 1981 writers' strike - replaced by Ellis/Hunt Dec 81 or Jan 82) Then Fred Bartholemew comes in when Bunim goes to ATWT (Oct 81?) and he brings in Ellis Hunt for the NBC switchover, they lasted 11 months. Mary Stuart is the other mystery to me: how was she to work with? Did she instigate many of the writer firings? Was she not involved at all. No other P&G show went through this kind of frenetic change. (The Doctors might be a close second but wasn't on as long and not P&G).
    • I'm getting the sense that something happened between Anita and Dante Green that wasn’t exactly copacetic, to say the least. I wonder — did he promise her fame and fortune as a solo artist, and then attack her when she rebuffed his advances? I hope it’s not a long-lost child plot lurking out there for her. Maybe she left behind an sibling in poverty or something instead, back in Cabrini-Green/Chicago. It does seem like neither Tracy nor Sharon’s solo careers turned out the way they dreamed — both ended up singing at City Wineries. I still think Leslie is connected to the Duprees — maybe her mother is Sharon, and she's going after the Duprees because she believes she could’ve had their lifestyle if things had gone differently for her mom. She does have ties to Chicago. That said, I hope this is the last disguise from her toolbox for a while — I’d hate for that to get played out. But I do wonder if she’s going to use Nicole 2.0 to frame Nicole for something down the line? I’m all for giving Shanice more time on canvas, and I wouldn’t hate it if she and Andre became an item — someone who doesn’t mind being public, unlike Dani. Or I can see Doug finally getting fed up with their arrangement and turning to the nurse for some “relief.” Vanessa was, in a way, telling herself off in those scenes with Ted about his cheating. And I have to say, Keith Robinson’s Ted brings a broader range of emotion than Maurice Johnson’s did — though I think Ted 2.0 is benefitting from better writing than OG Ted, whose arc relied more on MJ’s charisma and physical presence. That said, as someone else pointed out, Keith looks like he’s drowning in the clothes they’ve got him in. Hopefully, they’ve got some better-fitted attire lined up now.
    • They are just right there in your face.  It's hard to not see Ciara's boobs at all times.  And simmer down camera man, this is a family show!! The high school stuff makes it weird.  Physically the actors all look fine together.  It just makes me think Doug needs to find friends his own age.   With Ari at least Doug was under the impression she was over 21. I liked JJ and Eve too lol!
    • Specifically that's Kat & she is, there's no other way to say it except like pulling off a band-aid. She's Chad's "#1 fan" IOW, basically, kinda sorta she's an albatross around Chad's neck.  Kat can turn any conversation into a discussion of Chad & what he ate for breakfast or the most minute of minute things about Chad Duell's life & times.  We hope she's not dangerous. We hope she's just boring. That Chad is not back has lit a fire under her. She's upped her number of posts, which all relate in some way to Chad. Now you know what there is to know about as I said Chad Duell's #1 fan.     
    • The Duh-prees - Count me in as someone who cannot stand Kat’s fashion. No one walks around town dressed like that. And those wigs? Completely immovable. We have incredible wig technology these days—can’t the show find something better? - Vernon’s sermons are total FF material. - It looks like they’re setting up a past drinking habit for Anita (with all the “drowning” references), and maybe even a rape/child plot? Also—remember when Dani was an alcoholic? Lol.   Ted / Nicole / Leslie - Some people are projecting way too much onto OG Ted. Sure, he had screen presence, but his line delivery was pure caricature. He wasn’t menacing or threatening—he was a joke. NuTed may be meek, a bit one-note, and smaller in stature, but his confrontation with Leslie on Friday worked. Also, let’s be real—Bill’s not scary either. Total softie. Couldn’t scare a fly. - The ATWT reference was cute, but wasn’t the Duncan storyline from the ‘80s? Are we supposed to believe Nicole was already practicing back then? Since she said it was her patients who watched… like others pointed out, God forbid she watched herself! - Also: I stand corrected on Leslie. I think she’s starting to make more sense as a character. She’s fearless and provocative—that’s what drives her. I actually loved her mirror scene where Nicole 2.0 made her debut.   The non-Dupree characters - You guys were a bit dramatic about Monday’s show. It just had too many unlikeable storylines crammed into one. That’s all. Also, I stand by what I said about Derek and Ashley—their storyline is totally rom-com coded, and I’m into it. - I’ve developed a soft spot for Doug!!

      And I thought that Vanessa ripping into Ted had a subtle layer of self-reprimand to it   - I officially can’t stand André. I don’t buy him as a playboy at all. Same goes for Pamela with her transatlantic accent. It’s such a shame that this is the first character CML had to create… and this is what we got?

    • You’re really starting to see panic in the other actors’ eyes as they watch him struggle to get through his lines. There is a shot in yesterday’s episode in which  Swickard is standing behind Mo while he drones on and on, and the younger actor is clearly doing everything he can to hide his “WTF” face.
