Part of the problem is that because, in the major Fanfic sequels, Jake continues her gender deception, very few people ever know the JaHammer story. That story is where the emotional salvation potential lies. The problem with most sequels, in my view, is that the characters in the show never get the story that draws the fans. Quote:
I just make the Dean and Kate fall in love again when they hear the JaHammer story. Seems to me that's what a true love story is for -- to help people love each other better. Again, the problem with YA is that none of the other characters in the show ever hears the JaHammer story -- heaven comes down to earth and nobody notices. It seems to me that a sequel should have the story that makes fans love this show do to characters in the show what it does to the fans. __________________

"Watching it was like being kissed" - Depudor
Recently stumbled across a YA fanfic author whose writing style is, truly, brilliant. Below is a sample from her online autobiography. Her fics are equally well written. I'm green with envy.
She gets it, on the emotional level. She correctly pinpoints the real climax of the drama, and writes: "Watching it was like being kissed." And she conveys it so well: Quote:
And she's met, more than once, Robin Antin, Steve Antin's sister, who did the choreography for YA (the cotillion episode): Quote:

Good insight in raunchy slash fic
In some distinctly raunchy (although wittily tongue-in-cheek) Scout/Will slash fanfic, online at Dawson's Creek and Young Americans Page. of a slash fanfic writer, "Aunty Mib," one finds a rarely insightful appreciation of the relationship between Sean McGrail, Will Krudski, and Scout Calhoun on YA's adult/symbolic level.
Quote:
My answer: because Sean represents what Will has been, and Scout represents what Will hopes to become, although the temporal framework is reversed, Sean being old (a townie "poor" in time) and Scout young (a Rawley kid "rich" in time). Bella must love and by loved by both what Will has been and what Will strives to become in order to truly love and be loved by Will, the imperfect-but-striving writer-in-becoming. Interestingly, this witty albeit raunchy slash fanfic writer, "Aunty Mib," latched onto the same symbolism -- without, apparently, perceiving that Krudski is narrating YA from a perspective of maturity. The result is a hilariously gay fanfic in which Krudski wantonly loves his past self and his potential future self -- and they make love to each other. (P.S.: My take on the slash aspect: Sure, Will and Scout are attracted to each other in all sorts of ways, including physically. But they prefer girls. And neither one of them is going to turn their relationship sexual absent some compelling emotional imperative to do that ... like the imperative for Hamilton Fleming to love "Jake" Pratt physically. Neither one of them needs that -- although if either did, the other would give it. Krudski is emotionally needy at the start of YA, but Calhoun gives him everything he needs -- without turning their relationship sexual. Also, for Calhoun to do anything like what Fleming does would cost the country a promising future statesman ... better that someone like Fleming who'll never have to run for office do things like that.) __________________

Here you go. We recently started (re)reading the episodes together, but only got as far as episode 4, I believe? Once Sheida finally catches up, we'll continue, and of course you're welcome to join us

Reading it now, before I start forgive me if I can't go through your posts from the last thread, FF being stupid as you know and typing and copying is hard on my phones small screen
Ooh sleepover, fun wouldn't it be weird to explain Jake being there if her dad sees her though, weird I've read this before I just realised I've had this image of this scene with hamiltons mum overhearing them talk stuck in my head, which was odd to me cause it's not in the show so yay, mysteries solved for me now Random pet peeve, I hate when shows show girls sleeping in cute pyjamas, maybe it's just me but does everyone actually sleep in pyjamas? suppose it's me that's wrong sleeping in my jeans, Quote:
Ooh the dad issue is cleared up, kind of weird that I had the same thought as Will but yeah, Charlie's out of town,it seems! Ooh Will/Bella shipping scene, The scene might have made me ship them So, as you all know, I have horrible memory, can someone remind me, did Bella tell Scout they're not related? Oh god, Hamilton taking pictures of Jake, this can't be good Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Oh wow, the commercial break is about the season premier of Roswell, I never realised how old these fanfics were til now So that's me done with episode 3, and since it's past 2AM I'm gonna have to postpone episode 4 to tomorrow __________________
