FF: Unexpected Consequences (Thread II)

[Pixie]

Okay, I saw your cliffhanger warning, all big and bright in capital letters, and then I got so engrossed in the chapter that I forgot all about the warning untill I actually reached the cliffhanger! Aaaaahhhh! There were some really funny lines in the midst of the angst, though!

Thanks Lisa!!

[Bobo's Mom]

Lisa,
Another well constructed chapter to go with all the others you've penned. Thank you for taking time out of the school schedule to think of us kittens. I take it that Tara is going to accept the power that has been given her? She's already half way there. I can't wait to see where you take this.

Keep your chin up,

TARA: Willow and I always know how to find each other!
ANYA: With yoga?
****************
BUFFYBOT: That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!

[willow_thebadasswitch]

*slaps self on the upside of the head*

Note to self: Lisa doesn't kid about cliffhangers.

I take it it's all action from here then? It's a great chapter, Lisa. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been getting a 'This page cannot be displayed' message when they click on the chapter 33 link.

When I click on the chapter 33 link, I get the error message "A connection failure has occurrred."
Since I get the same error when I try to go to Lisa's Website, I wonder if it's the server.

Edited Wednesday afternoon to say:

Thank goodness for the Public Library. I was able to download the new chapter, and I got to flirt with the cute reference librarian, too. Guess I've got to talk to my ISP. But I'll read chapter 33, first.

[maudmac]

Oh, Mighty Lisarificus. Words are failing me right about now...

So I think I'll just bow before your radiance in my tattered robe, as an ever-loyal mitten. At least until I can be half-way articulate.

[Owl]

Well, now. That's some cliffhanger you've got there. You were Not joking. Whew!

Great writing, as ever. I echo the gratitude for taking time out to write this, and look forward to more.

[Sher]

Ok totally saw the cliff hanger warning... Man is there anyway to make that really really huge to emphasise how much of a cliff hanger it is. DAMN!

When is the next update?

[frogfear]

Ohhhh Noooooooooooooo
I'm having trouble getting it to display too !!!!
A new chapter and I can't read it ...

- it's like eating a cornetto and finding out that there is no choc tip cone

[Willowfan]

Man o man...tell me Keeper dies horribly. I mean, I know Tara's all with the light side and all, but SOMEONE has to put a heavy smack down on Keeper. And I do mean heavy...A world of hurt heavy...like...man o man....hurt her please, make her die...
I DO NOT LIKE HER!!

But I do love your writing...it just gets better and better...
Keep up the great work, Lisa...I love every second of it.

Tara:You found me...
Willow: I'll always find you.

[Tara Dimples]

Tara smiled and got a faraway look in her blue eyes. Her smile shifted as she thought about how much worse Willow was going to get once they conceived their daughter again. ‘She’ll probably put computer relay sensors on Brianna so she can know where she is every second.’ She giggled at the image that
brought to mind.
This bit made me smile and get a faraway look *sighs* . Glad to see mention of Brianna i thought Lisa had forgotten about her.
Another excellent chapter Lisa, WOW!!
She slid her hand under Tara’s throat and moaned when she felt Tara’s hot blood cover her fingers.
Tara's not dead is she? Lisa please I beg for spoilers!!

Oh, Lisa, thanks for the update. I was really waiting for it.

Ange.

[Mini-ALF]

Well worth the wait Lisa. Lot's of action...I love action. I also hope that the Keeper dies a horrible death.

[Enigmatic]

Hey Lisa. Great update, and what a cliffhanger...God! Tara sure is powerful, and Willow's struggle to get to Tara was just so cute! Loved every minut of it, and I'm patiently waiting for another update...

[tiyodragon]

Can we say hopelessly addicted? I can't wait for the next update...

You leave us breathless everytime.

Thank You,

[Kaisyn]

Amazing, Lisa. Well worth the wait.

[Web Warlock]

Ack!

Wow! That may have been longer, but it read fast. Great action scenes. I like ass-kicking Tara!

Loved the Gaurdians as well. And Tara commanding Ceri to protect Willow, that was wonderful. I was glad to see that Brent could mostly blow off the Keeper's dark magic. I mean the Gaurdians of Brigit should be the bigest ass-kicking witches around! But of course I have my biases!
I am a sucker for all things Brigit, the Bright One.

Lisa, fantastic update. I am so glad I got to read this today!

See what happens when you go away, we all start talking about your other fics!

Keep up the great work, and really looking forward to next update.

P.S. I have put all of the chapters in a nice Word document. Even at 10 point font it is a huge 429 pages!

My Lady Lisa, thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow, I feel blessed for the inspired story, and time that you put into creating our girls the way that you do.

The action was great! This was reminiscent for me of Spiral and The Gift in terms of the action sequences. I loved Tara taking charge and leading the group yet keeping everything that is Tara.

Lastly, how funny was this: "Anya, honey, let's don't call the big strong scary lady warriors 'minions.' I don't think they like it." Xander waved.

Also, this next line symbolizes why I love the way you write Willow and Tara.
"She focused on her love for Willow. It was the purest thing she had ever known, then her face lit up as she remembered holding Brianna. Their exquisite child was proof that their love could create miracles."

Keep the faith.

[Shinnen]

Wow! Lisa. Ms Countryman? You are a goddess!!
Absolute Goddess of the Pen..uh..waitaminute..Keyboard!!

Love your work and looking forward to the next installment of the story... *whisper* it's a real nail-biting time...but a good kind of nail-biting time.. to be kept on the edge for a good continuation of your stories.

She's my girl. She looks at the world in a special way, and I feel special because I'm part of her world. She gets my jokes, she understands. It's magic. I trust her. She'll always find me. She's my girl. - Willow

"What?" Anya asked. She glanced at Tara and shook her head. "She acts more like the engaged one than Xander does,"

I've always thought that!!

You're amazing Lisa!!

[Daydreams]

That was great a wonderfull update and oh..... cliffhanger to end cliffhangers.

Cannot wait for the next update soon?

See, this is the exchange that really got to me.

"Ceridwen, this is Willow." Tara pulled her lover closer. "She is my soul mate. She is my life, and the woman I call my Lady."
Ceri looked up and Willow and nodded reverently.
"I … Tara, your Lady, the mantle of Brigit, the embodied divine on earth, your Imbolc mage…" Tara was laying it on thick. "I order you to defend Willow as long as you still breathe." Tara gave the young guardian a stern look as she tried to sound as official as possible.

There is something so Tara about this. Making sure that Willow is protected. She would not have to worry about Dawn, Buffy would protect her, and Tara knows that.
Plus I think Tara wanted to be sure the Willow was protected from herself.

I think we could break another thread here just going into the analysis of your stories Lisa! And I won't even get into why I feel that the Imbolc Mage would work as perfect Jungian archetype for various issues of women feeling powerless in a male dominated society.

Well gotta go make a roux now. I am Iron Chef Cajun!

Wow thanks for the update Lisa, I hope college calms down a bit for you soon

And more please of course

[Thanatopsis]

Anything I could say to complement you on this story and your writing, would fall short of how incredible it is. So I'll just say thank you. I'm loving every moment of it.

It's an unusual name. There's hardly any except ... Warren Beatty and, you know, President Harding. It-it's probably not either of them.

[Lonewolf]

Lisa of Nine: You're killing me, great chapter although I really hate it when the scoobies don't win, I can't wait to read more, I really hope that Willow and the rest of the scoobies save Tara from the Keeper.

Lonewolf

[Lisa of Nine]

AGH!!!
GRrrrrrrrr!

Okay... I had a reply all typed out... with comments to about 16 people... and my computer crashed and it vanished! UGH!
I am leaving for class, but I will try to remember my insightful (ha!) commentary when I get home.
Just know that I was ever so thankful to everyone and that I adore all mittens!

[Bag O'Bones]

i have been reading this fic since it was first posted on the willtara list and it just keeps getting better and better.

you know what this fic needs? tara action figures! there could be . . . sward weilding action tara, maternal tara w/child, lesbo-love tara . . . oh yes it could be soooo yummy *grin*.

[This message has been edited by Bag O'Bones (edited March 20, 2002).]

[Thanatopsis]

LOL. That would be great. And whenever you need a Lisa fic fix, you could just pull out the action figures and act the stories. All right, maybe not, maybe I'm insane, but I'd buy them.

[ForeverPiper]

Usually I don't take any notice to the "HUGE CLIFFHANGER" warning. *smaking noise heard as hand connects to forhead* That'll make me think twice about reading something that has a HUGE CLIFFHANGER warning on it...especially if it's from you, Lisa. You take your cliffhanger business serious! Well now I'll just sit here like a good little kitten and wait patiently for an update. Patient...*snort* Yeah right!
