hmm.. Another excellent episode. I hate you for leaving it hanging like that, but I suppose that's a good thing. Means you've held my interest. Even more so than with the first episode, I would say, and if you can hold my interest with script it will probably be even better seeing it played out. Looking forward to the next episode. ^^ Maybe we'll see Ann a li'l more in the next one? Would like to get to know her character some.. rather than these brief little glimpses

Haha, printers are worth more than people any day!

Just a little side note on lube and eating it by itself: there was this time where a bunch of friends opened a thing of lube (sampler size? I don't know...) and it was some sort of fruit flavor, like passionberry punch or something lame like that. Anyway, they were about to squirt it on their burrito, but then they chickened out and tasted it. It tasted, according to them, like chapstick. So there you go! They quickly decided to blow up some condoms (pun not intended) and then to pour lube all over it and throw around the condom like a balloon toss... but that's for another story.

Post part three soon, OR DIE.

Yes, i have read this one.

Now, I want another one.

Like, now. I've been patient.

(see? You're reduced me to pointless reviews, though I know I had something I wanted to say about this initially...)

Anyway. Next one I won't have such a pointless review I almost want to, like, warn myself to not post such pointlessness.

Also: sunshine is awesome. again.

I saw it online this morning 'fore I left for class, but I didn't have time to sned it.


;)

Ann forces herself to smile and then slightly pushes her Jeremy off her


Intentional?

XD Awesome. Love the intro. I had my face stuffed in a pillow so I wouldn't wake everybody up. Great job. Sunshine and John make a fantastic foil. They work so well together... lol.

lol, brilliant, Brad. :lol:

Both Sunshine and Lena are awesome. My favorite part was when Lena was like are you eating lube? I couldn't stop laughing. She's a very interesting character, afraid to say I was very interested to find that she had a boyfriend but not surprised after I saw what kind of guy he was. :P James is awesome to, for for some reason he seems really familiar and I feel like I know him...which is impossible, but you know, it happens.

Onto the next yet again!
When these are over, be ready for me to beg you, yes?

Ha, I've finally finished reading this episode :D Sunshine is awesome again; she and Lena are so amusing. I agree with Rieda that James seems oddly familiar o.0 Maybe he's just one of those ... people. Or characters. Or whatever XD

Now for episode 3!

I like it, I love, I cannot wait to read more of it. Once again james cusses the sky blue, but it has an actule chartming qulity for him. Also, sunshine keeps her part, being a bitch. Also i like twists this story is taking. You sure like the suspence effect. This commment is not as long as the last on, but i think you get my point. Nice job, and i hopeyou contionue to be just as creative( cannot think of a better word).

Mm, baking soda for breakfast is my FAVE-UH-RIT. With gay bars on the side, please.

I do, Lena--spiritual food. I noticed the other night that you were very out of balance with your femininity, and this aromatherapy mix of orange, sandalwood, clary sage--

Lena gags.

LENA
Oh my God, I smell like someone just marinated me!

*cracks up*

SUNSHINE
(motioning to Lena)
This is Bitch. Bitch, this is Alex, my boyfriend.

Lena blinks, shaking Alex's hand.

ALEX
Nice to meet you, Bitch.

LENA
Yeah, you too…you two are…dating?

Sunshine nods enthusiastically and kisses Alex.

SUNSHINE
We lived together back in Cali, and ohmigod I can't believe you came all the way out here just to see me baby!

Alex picks Sunshine up and twirls her around in the air.

ALEX
For you, my love, anything!

Lena contorts her face in pain.

I love stuff like this.

This is really cool, Brad... I'm liking it. :D

This is great! I'm loving the character of Sunshine more and more and the plot is looking promising with the added competition from Harvey Lions. I think you could maybe have Mr Harris sound a little more bitter and patronising and yet be increasingly eager to sell them the printers, maybe even show the bargaining of the price down.

My favourite part is the end, the suspense is great and I'm looking forward to seeing what Jeremy is going to do. It's going to be a tough decision and I sure wouldn't want to make it.

You have a wonderful sense of humour, Brad. Can't wait to read more.

Another great episode. I think I'm starting to get the plot, and I'm looking forward to finding out what's going to happen.

But, what's lube? Is it American or something, 'cause I've never heard of it.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*



Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
