FF: Unexpected Consequences

[Willow Rocks]

Okay leaving it like that is just plain cruel i hope u know?!

[Kalita]

I've been checking your posting times, Lisa, and you're getting later every day.

I've figured it out - it's all a plan to drive us insane.

Just so you know, I'm on to you...

[Kiwiccan]

Ok Lisa, I am in agony here...where are the next 2 chapters???

See I should know better than to stay caught up with the number of chapters you've posted. I should always stay one or two chapters behind you, just for this very reason....tapping foot now.

Hey Lisa, anything we can do to help? Get you some tea, a cookie, maybe, some peas? Just so you wonn't have anything to distract you from posting the next update?

Okay, here I am on Friday night, desparately waiting for more. Note to self: must get a life. Oh well. :-)

[Puff]

And I thought it might have been the updates, come on Lisa they are not even uploaded yet

------------------
Bloody hell, sodding, limey, shagging, knickers, bollocks...oh God...I'm English

[Halcyon]

yoo hoo....Lisa?

I'll stop yoddling if you post

[Puff]

Halycon I'll give you a buck to stop...I hear it buys a lot these days. Yes lack of fic has made me resort to bad jokes, there's no help for me now

------------------
Bloody hell, sodding, limey, shagging, knickers, bollocks...oh God...I'm English

[Halcyon]

can that get me fic?

[Sassette]

Heh ... I just started reading this fic (I'm procrastinating ... I'm a big procrastinator. Not to be confused with being a Dark Master ... *cough*).

This WAY Rocks! I love every little piece of it ... the angst, the PregnantTara ... the MomResearching Willow ... the slow rebuilding of the relationship - it's all so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. But Embryanna is in trouble!? Eeeep!

Anyway, word on the street has it that there's gonna' be an update soon. I wonder if we'd crash the site if we all sat there hitting 'reload' ...

*tries to resist. checks the next logical URL anyway*

Damn.

[Kalita]

At least the 404 Haiku is something of a calming presence.

I'm still getting peeved, however...

[Sassette]

I stand with kittens.
But the waters have passed us.
We wait for the page.

-Sass

[Scout]

I bet if the web administrator ever looked at her web logs they’d wonder why so many people keep requesting a page with an error message.

Can't get enough of that haiku!

[Kiwiccan]

Sassette have you found a new handle... Stands with kittens?

LOLOL

Lisa we are doing our best to amuse ourselves.

Lisa --- getting sleepy, but I am sitting here waiting with the kitties for you....

hi kittens! hi Lisa!

[Kalita]

Though the wait is bad,
Lisa's story is worth aggravation.
We await with patience.

[Scout]

Well, I’ve watched Seinfeld, ordered a book at Amazon.com, sent a few emails, and paid a few bills online. Thanks Lisa – this has been a very productive wait!

[Lisa of Nine]

Sorry!
I was out riding all day. Didn't have time to get to both chapters. I just rushed through chapter 15....
I will add the replies in via an edit... AND I will work on 16 first thing tomorrow.
Again,
sorry for the delay!
Lisa
PS. thank you for all the feedback and support!

You were very coherent... it just sounded so cute and Willowlike. *G*
Look for more smoochies...more visions...and well, I think you just might be on to something with Amy.
Thanks for replying,

alladin:
I really used to adore Buffy, back before she needed to go on Slayer prozac. I swear... someone needs to send her to a doc, because she could be helped by medication. I try to write the Buffy I loved... because in my fic world... she is back! Maybe Tara snuck her some herbs?

I love Anya! She's one of my favorites...plus her sarcastic streak is much like my own.

The 'almost-make-love-scene' was that way for that very reason. You make a good point about Tara needing to make a mistake truly her own (foreshadowing anyone?) but I could not have Tara make that sexual advance without an outside force. I can't see Tara hurting Willow like that. Don't worry, there's plenty of trouble in my fic for everyone! *G*

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I love discussing character motivations!

Puff:
Your badness radar may or may not be on target. (Hmm, I sound like wanda now!)

The story is plotted for 19 chapters. I have been known to go long, but this one seems on track...maybe. If it goes long, I'll add an epilogue.
Thanks!

Enigmatic:
Whew! I'm glad you liked the new stuff. I want to write stuff that works, and BTW, I love having detailed discussions about plots, character motivations, and all aspects of the stories. Anytime you want to know what my thinking was on something, ask. Also, if something seems off, bring it up. I think out just about every scene, but I screw up sometimes.
Oh, Brianna? It's Celtic for strength. Seemed fitting and it sounds like Embryanna.
Thanks again,

Quill:
You know, angst and prostitution go hand in hand...or so I'm told. (Paula/kiwiccan is a bad girl... she told me all about it.)

Yes, much foreshadowing... can't say more.
I've had fun with Cassie& Diana... They have much more to come.

the swordfighting sounds fun. I've seen the practice kendo tools and even been yelled at for playing with them. Bad bard, no chocolate!
Thanks for all the feedback,

Shaggykat:
in my mind, Tara's mom was poisoned by Tara's aunt using dark magic. Tara's mom was close to the aunt and it infected her. The refero doesn't harm the mom...other than breaking her heart by losing the baby for a while.
This story isn't related. *G* There are developments with the other story (the marriage for one) that are not in this one.
Thanks for asking!

mariacomet:
So far, Tara has had outside causes that push her into her mistakes. You'll have to wait and see if that stays the case!
I wish Willow would try this hard on the show... she needs to win Tara back...SOON!
Glad you're enjoying the fic.

I'll have you know...it takes extreme planning and plotting to get a cliffhanger for every chapter! *G*
Cruel is what I do.
Hope you like the rest of the story,

kalita:
yeah, I have. That's because I haven't had as much time off. There is no evil plan with posting times. My evil plan is to use cliffhangers to drive you insane. How's it working?
Seriously, thanks for all the comments.

[Kalita]

Wahoo! That WAS worth the wait.

More ominous endings though, Lise... do you ever let up?

[Bobo's Mom]

Good things come to those who wait up late!! I enjoyed the update; but who am I kidding? I enjoy all your updates. I especially liked the Dawn/Buffy conversation at the end. Dawn is not my favorite character (I only seem to enjoy her interactions with Spike on the show), but I actualy like her in this fic! That's no small accomplishment.

I hope the single chapter tonight means we have THREE to look forward to Saturday.

Thanks again for sharing the gift.

[katydid]

Foot rubbing!!!! I saw foot rubbing!!! You are a GODDESS Lisa...hmmm... It was so beautiful

I really liked the bonding between Buffy and Dawn...it was so cute and true to life. You have a gift. You managed to make Dawn seem...hmmm how do I put it....not so whiny. Granted the girl has been through alot...but sometimes she tends to come off whiny. I liked the exchange about the book...lol


lisa, lisa, lisa....I am so in love with you. *sigh*

[Pixie]

Wow!! So much W/T goodness! The make-up sex was both sweaty-naughty-feelings-causing and sweet at the same time. The Buffy/Dawn interaction - I wish we could see something like this on the show. It's so wonderful to see them bonding, and Buffy taking the big-sister role in something beyond protecting Dawn or yelling at her. And "the stuff with the stuff" - lol! And lmao at whipped Willow!

And, uh Lisa, I'm not sure if all that talk about balls going back and forth really belongs in a scene with our girls. Just a thought...

Thanks so much! Hope you had a good day riding.

[Scout]

"The electric juicer is all wild and harsh and the juice gets all smooshed and bruisey."

That line just killed me. And I agree, the Buffy/Dawn talk was very funny and sweet. Wonderful update, although now I have to go to bed with another cliffhanger in my head.

Thanks for rushing this one!

[aladdin]

Lisa: Willow/Tara and food are just an amazing combination in your hands! Bruised juice? *LOL*

[Kiwiccan]

From Lisa:

Sorry for the delay,

Darling Lisa,
Have you looked at your emails today?
Yes Emails

Hmmm????????

I'm going to have to remember that jiuce trick...hehehe bruised juice.

Okay Lisa, cookies, tea, and one life coming right up! Oh wait, Lisa getting a life = no more wonderful fic. Hmm... sorry, babe. Guys, back up, we're putting it back on the truck!!!

BTW thanks for the cryptic clue. (Stomping? :-)

[This message has been edited by Pixie (edited January 19, 2002).]

[Quill]

Goddess that was...wow. I'm very impressed by this most recent installment. The devotion and love between Willow and Tara in this stage of their reunion was just...piercing, riveting, amazing...and so very well-written. My hat is off to you Lisa.

I also really enjoyed the Buffy/Dawn interaction. I guess I kinda look at Dawn as the sister I wish I had. Not to downplay the three that I have now, it's just, they all hate me and would rather die than rely on me for any sort of support or knowledge. Very cool that you look the time to include that. Thank you.

[Robin]

There's not much, which hasn't been said yet. Therefore: Thanks and you got my respect.

[Kendahl897]

You are SO GOOD!!!!!!

[Puff]

Can I have a favourite chapter so far? Because this would be it. It had the funny moments, the bonding moments, the angst at the end and the moment that made me grin stupidly because YES they are back together.

I loved Buffy teasing Willow about the juice, that made me snort my tea. And then Buffy bonding with Dawn at the end was really nice, the show this season hasn't done enough positive interaction between Buffy and Dawn so far. And the Willow/Tara moments were just (trying to find a suitable word and can't) well wonderful too read.

This is an update that was definatly worth the wait, thanks Lisa.

Oh and I don't mind if the story over runs

[kpmuse]

Like Puff, I found this to be my favorite chapter so far. The best funny moment was when Buffy thought that Willow is whipped. hehehe!
Best, best part --- > Willow and Tara are back baby! Now I can sleep soundly at night.
Dawnie has 2 mommies again! and Buffy too!

Well, Lisa, thanks again. I hope you had a wonderful time yesterday. I am off to squeeze my OJ so it doesn't bruise or get stale! YeeHaw! {skips off singing "Willow & Tara are baaaaccckkkk!!!}
