Hate to do this to you, just wanted to clear a few things up for anybody who might be confused:

1. This story is incomplete – therefor nothing is certain, especially the characterisation.

2. I am writing an average of two chapters a day to try and get this thing up and posted for the readers who don't have the disposition to bitch and whinge, and occasionally, in the pursuit of this challenge I've set myself, I make typing errors.

3. A "jump sleeve" is obviously a "jumper sleeve" with the –e and the –r left off…by accident (and yes I realise there was not need to use an elipsis there, call me a masochist)

4. Rory had her phone on when she called Jay, I never said she left it on.

5. Tristan and Rory have not found Justin, I don't even know if they are going to find Justin and if they do there is nothing to indicate Tristan will do anything "illegal" to him, apart from a bad-taste joke made by Tristan on the walk back from dinner. And anyway, Rory was the one who pretty muc insisted to a lonely guy ho wasn't going to turn her away, that he g with him. He's eighteen years old for Christ's sake, of course he's contradictory.

6. I use "elipses" liberally to denote when a character is struggling to say something, or pausing for a breath. I find that readers can understand more the mood of character speaking and I am using them according to Australian standards.

7. I am Australian so I don't know a damned thing about New York City. And I have occasionally used colloquialisms you may not understand. For those of you wondering, "I got onto an old friend of his" translates to: "I managed to find the phone number of an old friend of his, and call her, and guess what? She answered!".

8. Tristan's "joke" at the end, wasn't a joke at all. The Tristan that I have "created" is incredibly confused fucked up by his own admission, and definitely not thinking straight with Rory Gilmore underneath him. He's sick of people suspecting him but never coming out and asking him and also, he wants to put his "Mary" to the ultimate test of loyalty for a few seconds. I tend to be very subtle in my writing, it's why I was never a great debater at high school.

9. This is a fan fiction, they're not exactly known for their great writing skills.

10. I don't take grammar advice from people who were in such a rush to tear me down that they misspelled the following:

Beucase - Because

Insiead - Instead

Increidbly -Incredibly

And neglected to capitalise proper nouns.

11. Before anybody jumps down my throat, just because readers are predominantly American I will not change my spelling of certain things, if I don't do it for spell check, I'm not doingit for this story, therefor the following applies:

Analyse not Analyze

Colour not Color

Grey not Gray

Neighbour not Neighbor etc.

12. Finally, I'm sorry that I have h to have this very public bitch. I really a glad that people are reading my story and giving constructive advice it's just that old adage, "too much of a good thing". It's 5 a.m. here, I can't sleep and it's sort of disappointing to see the only review you've got is picking apart your last chapter until it's skin and crappy bones.

I hope I haven't scared you all off with that. The next chapter will be up as soon as I figure out where in the hell Albany is and work out how many elipses I should allow myself ;)

Ciao,

Skeleton-Leaf
