My God what a riot , And a perfect concluding episode to a thrilling though sometimes irritating experience ,It proves that sometimes adults can behave like kids..

    Guilty. My inner twelve year old usually shows up in distressing times. Thank you so much for this. Please consider adding a chapter. Gretchen

A food fight? Funny but, I thought that we adults were above such things. Who am I kidding? I would have throw the watermelon chunks her way, nice and sloppy. Have a good week and nice Halloween. Karen

    Sorry, no can do. I am knee deep in writing something gruesome. I must stay in the kill zone. Karen

I was wondering if you were going to describe the fashion show again from your perspective, but I'm delighted to see that you're the one addressing the elephant in the room:-) And that must be where the chapter gets the name, Powder Keg.

Tom thought writers were classy? LOL! We're as dramatic as they come. I'm just wondering how Jane's face and body made out in the food fight. Can't wait to find out!

No extra sixes? Thanks for trying, Gretchen.

I enjoyed your part of the story more than the fashion show, but don't tell Allen 'cause she'll dump my head in a bowl of potato salad!

    While Rachelle was on the runway, your gal right here was in the trenches. (With wine). Thank you so much. Please add your own take on this. I thank you for the stars. Gretchen

I think you've done very well, I feel a bit exhausted after my long 18 hour fight from Australia, so a food fight wakes me up somewhat, it looks like I might be going to bed pretty early, an excellent post Gretchen, it looks like fun, beautifully written, blessings Roy

I got one think it's fabulous! A great idea to bring people together and only ladies, such as yourself could come up with such a thing, and that is kudos to you! I will before your deadline offer a few words. I had a lot of fun reading your chapter. It was great, especially when Rachelle shoved Jane's face in the tater salad! Loved it! Please accept these 6 stars for your exemplary writing and stunning idea!

    Thank you, Leaving. (And congratulations on your success with your story.) I would live it if you'd add your own spin. So far, they've been as different and fun as you'd expect. Thank you for the six. Gretchen

Haha! What a great ending to a bizarre story. Diversions left, right and centre. Makes me wonder if there could have really been a fanstory conference!
Just ONE SPAG early in the story.

Hello Gretchen,
I read Rachelle's account and had to skip a handful of other posts to get to yours. I personally hate to see good food go to waste, and I happen to love potato salad. I hope you got some before Jane's face destroyed it. This is too funny gal. You two have created one of the most interesting story lines that I've ever read. I don't know how you did it, but you both are to be applauded. It has been so much fun to read. Well done my friend.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    Thank you. Don't worry about me, I had a stacked plate when I ducked under the table for cover. Lol. Thank you so much and please consider adding your own version to this. Thank you for the excellent review and the six. Gretchen

This is, really funny. Does The Tom have a sense of humor? I hope so because he comes off as a bit of a wimp who doesn't catch the humor of the situation. Rachelle, deserves an award for sticking Jane's head in the potato salad. I wonder if Jane will realize people really don't like her, or just thinks they are having fun with her.

    Jane shall remain clueless of her terrible personality. Lol. Some people are just like that. Please write your own chapter of the conference. Would love to read it. Gretchen

I see that in this episode Jane continues to spill her toxins on others. She should have had to take the limo and pay for it out of pocket. She doesn't seem to add much to the convention. In fact, she could really subtract a lot from the convention if she would just leave. Having dinner under the table is an interesting event. Since I got in late, I'm just trying to wrap my mind around what is happening.

Nothing can top a good old fashioned food fight except seeing Jane's face dunked in a bowl of southern potato salad!! I hope she is able to get that relish ou of her nose. Lol too much fun!
