Such a rollicking good chapter this was, Rachelle. I can see why you had such a blast writing it. What great caricatures you presented, and now with Jane's entry, a stink bomb has been thrown into the room. It will certainly be entertaining to see the effect she has on this motley group.
I loved your portrayal of everyone. Such vivid mental images you gave us. This has been and continues to be an immensely fun story.

Gretchen is taking us the rest of the way later on today with her chapter. All I can say is: Hold onto your seat!!! It's going to be a doozy!
After this, we have just one more chapter to go.
I'm so appreciative of your having stayed on this wild ride with us the entire way. It's meant the world. xoxoxo

It's been a really fun ride. Wouldn't have missed it for anything!

You are the best of the best. I mean that. xoxox
Comment from GWHARGIS
I swear by everything in my life, I could see them all exiting the elevator. I am goin to have these visions in my head for the rest of the day. I could even see myself all decked out. By the way, whatever you did to my hair, it looked fabulous. Lol. This was such a cool chapter because it did include so many of the writers that we've known for years. Of course, Humpwhistle would be the one cracking the smart ass remarks from the elevator. Of course, Dolly would be the fashionista. Of course, Gypsy would be giving off the Stevie Nicks vibe. This was absolutely wonderful and then the cliff hanger of Jane Babies crashing the party. I'll bet it was complete silence as soon as she opens her mouth. Like someone splashing cold water the fire. I am going to have to really work hard on this chapter. This was excellent. By far one of the most memorable chapters in this story. Gretchen

I consider it the penultimate luxury to be able to write whatever I want, knowing without one milisecond's worth of doubt in my mind that you will grasp the baton and catapult the story seamlessly ahead. You are the kind of co-author absolutely ANYONE would die to have. I feel so lucky that it's me who gets the privilege. Can't wait to see where this takes us!!

Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Rachelle!
What a hoot!
"Powder Keg" doesn't even come close to what it would feel like to the likes of Robert and Roy should I be straddling their backsides as I made my grand entrance!
Good Lord!
No amount of Ibuprofen or hot tub moments would ever make those two gentlemen feel the same again... ever! Poor souls!
But I do appreciate the fact that you think that I am still capable of lifting "one leg at a coquette angle while placing both hands flat beneath her chin." Now that is a visual I shall not soon forget! Love it!
Your imaginative soiree (Is that the right word?) into the lives and looks and personalities of your selected FanStorians is in a class all of its own:
memorable, fun, creative, and much needed!
So very much enjoyed, Rachelle!

There is no way that your post and all it's celebrating deserve anything less than a six. You did a magical job with each FS friend, and I enjoyed every second. Congratulations on all your efforts. It was fun!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I was thoroughly entertained here Rachelle, your post is full of excitement, you brought so much humour for us that I laughed all the way through. I loved the personalities as you brought everyone to life with their individual style and I felt I was there at this convention and if one really did exist I would be sure to attend! I just loved this post, your talented pen gave us all a treat here and I hope everyone who reads it awards you with a six as this is what this post deserves. Thank you for your thoughtful story about the diverse mix of writers on Fanstory and I'm not sure you mentioned what you were wearing for this convention Rachelle? Let me guess, I long royal blue Dior fitted satin dress slashed to the waist fitted with a diamanté centre piece, long gloves to match finished off with a large diamond cluster designer ring. Love Dolly x x x

Whoa!! I should have had you as my wardrobe mistress!! No, my outfit is the one I bought at the mall back in Long Island when we were getting Rebekah's recital dress. I'm in a short, sequinned emerald green number with matching stilettos.
Thanks for this glorious review. I could not appreciate it more.

Well, you have reset the stage with two dozen characters, most familiar names. I cannot imagine what comes next after all the Dom is drained. Romance on the terrace?

Yeah, right. Mass orgy!!

How is Jeannie going to fit in? Or have I gone astray again in regards to who is the Amish gal?

The Amish girl is Rebekah, and she is back in Long Island getting one-on-one opera education by my friend and former student Maria, who runs a music school.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
What do you mean 'pretended' that the TV remote was a ray gun?????????????? Didn't you see all the people momentarily freeze when I zapped them?
I can't believe you brought obnoxious Jane back into the story!
Best wishes.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
That Jane is an entitled little bitch, isn't she?
Do you mean to tell us that you WEREN'T wearing your silk gloves and diamond tiara? I'm shocked!
I'm trying to work my way around, "savor the bubbles as they lap dance their way down the hatch." Hehehe:-)
I love Wayne in a ball cap with the pretend ray gun - that's awesome:-)
Wendy G. - you go, girl! I took you for someone as shy as Gretchen.
Good lord, I sound like Jane, lol! You have issues, Allen.
I can only imagine what a joy it was for you to write this, my friend. The only thing better than writing it would be to live it. Let me know where and when.
My goodness, you've taken this to a whole new level with the "write your own chapter" creation. I'm looking forward to reading some of those myself.
You guys have outdone yourselves now!
xoxo

The convention certainly does seem to be getting underway. I love how you manage to bring everyone's personalities to life in this chapter and I could really picture it in my mind as I was reading, and you definitely made me laugh. Another excellent chapter. I enjoyed reading it.
