Author Notage to the 2nd power.


Here is where we have what I like to call "The Issue". Jack broke the internet.


Jack: I did what? I don't even know what an internet is, much less how one goes about breaking it.


Me: Accept the blame, I give you a bottle of rum, you go drink yourself silly.


Jack: Well, then, why didn't you just say so? Of course I broke the internet!


Me: Good job, Jack. *give him a bottle, shoves him back under her desk* Yeah, see. Told ya'. So because Jack broke the internet, it's not working, which is slightly detrimental to getting new chapters of the story up. That being as it is, I have now created an extra author's note page to explain this and blame everything on Jack. Okay, good. So these are the reviews for chapter 22, not 23, even though it's the one it follows. Go figure.



Now we get into the important part of this author note. What do I write next?


I have had a number of suggestions, and my ideas are this:


1) A couple short "what-happened-to-them-now" stories featuring various characters from this story, like Norrington and Parsons.


2) A "sequel" to this story, again with Heather, but this time in Lord of the Rings, and post-Caribbean Secrets.


3) A Harry Potter story, called "Of Infinite Possibilities". Serious, Harry Potter characters only, no weird stuff (okay, lots of weird stuff. But no weird Heather stuff) story.


Or 4) "Welcome to Reality", my Matrix fic, the first chapter of which can be found here on my account on ff.



I may eventually work on all of these stories, but it's the order in which I work on them that I'm not sure about. So tell me what you think. I swear, I will listen to you!



Now, onto the other important part of the notes - reviews!



Calender: Hmm....yes, I suppose I must be. And yet, you don't seem to be complaining that much!


Oui: Well, Yes, that is seeming to be a popular option, isn't it? :D


Maryn: Yes! Someone noticed!!! *huggles* Yeah, there's a line from the Evanescence song "Hello" in chapter 18. That would be the "Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken". I love that song! And thanks so much for noticing - I was wondering if anyone would! Yay!


Christé: Aww....am flattered. *blushes, then ducks flying frying pans* It was the broken internet, honest! If it makes you happy, chapter 25 is really long....and you're in it! Whee! *huggles*


punkrawk twistie: *is whapped with a spoon* Ow! Okay, sorry! Here's a new chapter! Glad you like, anyway!


Valor: You really think so? I dunno, all I know is that I added these stupid cliff-hangers to make people keep reading...I'm glad you like it that much, though! And I know, that was a pretty nasty ending....


Dani: Glad you liked!


Tabby Kitten: My dilemma in writing exactly...it would suck to have to make that choice, really. I'm glad I've never had to - I just do it for my characters!


Ellina: *tackle-glomp* Whee! Love these! *huggles* Jack does need a girl! Seriously! And I dunno....maybe I will be writing a Parsons story....mwa ha!


Arwen16: Thankies, I'm glad you like it!


Seductive Gyspsy: That's true, never even thought of that! Corsets suck! Glad you liked, though!


Spidergurlroxs: And so do you! :D I'm glad you liked Charon, though, he was actually pretty fun to write! And there was no Jack cause Jack was in prison, and he actually would have maybe made the choice difficult...see next chapter for that! :P Romeo and Juliet....no, no star-crossed lovers here, well, yeah, there is. But no dying! Not until later! And yes, MORE JACK!


Ecila: Nope, not over yet! Almost there, but not yet! And he is too gorgeous to leave! And in answer to your question: Heather does, in a possible sequel, die first. When she wakes up, everything is exactly the same as it was, but everything has frozen. It's like time freezes for her until Christine also wakes up. It only lasts for a few minutes, but yeah, it is kinda a "limbo" thing. Glad I could help. :D


Huntress16: :D Mwa ha...unexpected is my friend! And thanks, I agree. Bleeding all over the floor would suck! (Except for a vampire, I suppose, but that's besides the point. ;) )


Kery J. Wales: Hey, no problem, I know I'm evil! I'm glad I managed to make a twist no one expected, too. Whee! And here you are, hope you like the continuation.


Eva: Sowwee. People seem to like cursing me a lot lately....has something to do with "cliffhangers", I'm told. And somehow, everyone picks that Jack option, too....mm....Jack.


Problem Child: Thanks, really I love all of you! Personally, I think you're right, although the fact that I'd then be stuck in the future with all the memories and not them, that would suck slightly. Glad you like it!


CotG: I'm evil, remember?! Mwa ha! Enjoy!


Irish: Yay! A fellow duckie! *pouts* And you hate Heather? Is it only cause she got Jack? Cause I might too....and who does the Commodore get? *rubs hands together gleefully* Ohh....just you wait and see! Mwa ha!


Spidergurlrox: I hope you can get it now - it wouldn't do any good to die!


Lyssa2: Ooh - a Rebecca sequel! *is horribly excited* And yes....Jack moments might be hard without a Jack, wouldn't they? And it was an odd idea, anyway. Guess we'll see! ;)


redsun: Umm...thinking maybe I could make sure you were all going to read the next chapter? Glad you're enjoying!


Sugaricing: Yeah...funny how cliff-hangers drive me nuts, yet I use them all the time! (Ooh..what a hypo-twit!) 1. Would it break Jack's heart? That's part of her problem with making the decision! 2. With Will? Erm...see what I can do.... 3. It would be darn fun!


Completeopposites: I'm sorry! Really, I am! I continue!


I88er-az: I have the exact same problem. Author Alerts don't like me. But I'm glad you're reading, and enjoying, and yeah, that would be a sucky dilemma!


Saiyan-girl-cheetah: Okay, quick, here's the pull-me-back-over-the-edge chapter! Hope you were able to hold on that long! And yay, someone understands! I was worried that maybe people wouldn't realize why that would suck so much....you are a genius!


Oil Pastel: Oh, my. Where did you get that monkey? And it was seriously the most evil one ever? Success! I mean, um. Oops.


Quicksilvermad: I can't tell if you were...my computer can be evil. *cries* And you can actually believe the story? Believe how, exactly? Yeppers. Chapter 23, ready and waiting!


Evanescence-Gc: Thanks! And hey - like the name!


Andi Horton: Yeah, me and my massive, weird plot-twists. Shoot, even my plot twists have plot twists! Glad you're still reading, still enjoying!


Brem Nakada: Evil? Sorry....except that you seemed to like it, oddly enough. Mwa ha! And would another Jack kiss make the whole story complete, then? Hmm.....


Lady Riddle: Heck, fanfiction makes me cry all the time! I'm amazed that I could make anyone cry, but...wow! What were you listening to at the time, BTW?


Unfortunately Mark's Girl: Back to him, are we? Just read that review, and now I'm typing! Is that good? *grins nervously* No chasing down mail trucks!!! And there will be birds in the last chappie!
