Bio:

Grandmother to 2 beautiful little redheaded girls. Avid fanfic reader and sometimes writer. Wasn't able to watch QaF when it aired due to problems with cable service provider, but bought the dvds when they came out. Fell in love with Brian and Justin immediately and the rest is history!

Enter Brian Kinney with an offer he may not want to refuse.

Nichelle! Excellent chapter! Awesome story! I am loving this fic and so happy to see an update! Hope there's another update soon! Can't wait to see what happens with both sets of gruesome twosomes. The Sap and Brandon have joined the level of insanity as Lindsay and Mikey! Definitely looking forward to more. :)

Okay, let me get this out of the way first... Gardner and Lindsay having sex? EWWWW! LOL! Brain bleach please! A very LARGE bottle! LOL!

Well, now I feel better! Whew!

Love what you did with your plot bunny! Brian and Mel are twins!!! And Brian fainted! OMG! I can't wait to find out what happens when he wakes up and then when Justin and the others find out!

Love this story!

Cynthia and Marci are epic in their drive to help Brian. So glad it wasn't Gardner sneaking into the office. Love Murph for thinking about Justin regarding the computer and that he's willing to sacrifice a bit of his sanity to find out everything he can about Lindsay working at Vangard.

The meeting with Jennifer and Constance was fun and even more fun when Emmett joined them. And now Michael is stalking Emmett!!! Good thing he knocked himself out when he fainted giving them time to leave. Emmett might have needed bail money!

Can't get enough of this story! Looking forward to more!

Another amazing chapter! Hopefully Lindsay and Claire will get to share a cell and end up killing each other!

So good to see that Brian and Justin have so many people guarding their backs and standing up for them. Vic was right when he said Joan was lucky he was there and not Debbie!

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Summary: Past Featured Story

 

338960_1115469.jpg

Justin has been back from New York for a week and in that time the "family" just wouldn't leave him and Brian alone to enjoy their reunion. There have been countless calls demanding Brian produce Sunshine, unannounced visits and several walk-ins performed by Michael, of course.

On one such evening, as Brian and Justin are in the middle of foreplay, Michael barges in and without regard to what he interrupted demands that they join him and the guys for a night out at Woody's. When Emmett suggests a "couple's pool game," Brian and Justin have to decide if the stakes are too high -- Freedom from Family vs. Learning to Share. Who will win the Tawdry Tournament?

Even though they have their ups and downs, Brian and Justin always find their way back to each other. They are ready to take on the world! -mamaduck

Sequel to Time's Up Volume I: It's Only Time

After ten years, Brian and Justin are still meeting in secret. Now one is ready to make things permanent while the other...Hmm- not so much. It will ultimately come down to hard choices, sacrifices and what's more important: everlasting love or freedom? And how will secret and not-so-secret enemies affect their decision? 

***COMPLETE*** ENJOY!!

This is such an amazing, wonderful story! Loved it and will definitely be saved to my hard drive. There were so many twists and turns! Loved that Justin got to punch out Michael and Brian got to punch out Ethan!

Love that they all got what was coming to them, especially Michael, Craig, Joanie, and Claire! Feel a bit of pity for Deb and that's only because she didn't keep harping on everyone after Michael was convicted and she realized how far he would go to make Brian his. Sadly for her, it took too long.

So happy that Brian and Justin survived once again (damn, girl, you had them both SHOT!! Nearly gave me a heart attack!) and are determined to stay together!

Looking forward to all your stories being completed and can't wait to see what you write next!

Looking forward to more fics!

Summary:

   

SUMMARY:  That damned Showtime channel and their time limits. Due to circumstances beyond their control (I'm sure), Cowlip et al were exceedingly surprised when the finale of QaF was cut short by a few minutes. It changed everything and, boy, were they pissed. But... what were a couple of rich, influential producers of a successful ground breaking hit show to do? Apparently, nothing. The milk had been spilled, the cart overturned, the bridge burned... But, here is how the ending was ACTUALLY filmed. (I swear, this is true. I heard it from a friend who has a cousin who works with this guy who dated a celluloid vault-keeper's sister...)

This is perfect! I am so glad that you heard it from a friend who has a cousin who works with this guy who dated a celluloid vault-keeper's sister because this is definitely the way it should have ended. Too bad we can't all get copies of what was missing from the last episode, but at least we have you to thank for typing it all out for us! Thanks!

Loved this! So happy that Gus could call Justin any time he needed help and Justin would drop everything to be there. Very happy that Justin never kept anything from Brian, too!

Typical self-absorbed Michael at his best!

Glad the girls were able to work through their problems and become a family again with everyone.

Why Not Me. by starlight Rated: E half-star [Reviews - 187]
Summary: Feature

I chose this story as it is a "what if" that continues the story of Brian and Justin after Season 5. Starlight is an author that pulls you into a story by the third paragraph and takes you on a wild ride. There's angst, humor and drama that has you cheering and yelling in disgust in the same chapter. She has this writing style that keeps you wanting more every chapter she writes - mamaduck

Brian and Justin decide it's time to have kids.

So glad the girls didn't get away with what they did and that JR got the help she needed. Gus stories are one of my favorite genres in QaF and this is one of the best I've ever read. Hope to see more.

This was a great twist on Michael trying to split up Brian and Justin. I really love stories where Justin stands up for himself against Micahel. And adding in the whole 'Monty' bit was very clever indeed! Loved it!

I'm not sure but I think this might be my favorite so far! Looney Lindsay and Captain Delusional really work for me! The conversation between Kell, Carl, and Deb in Carl's office was spot on! Love that Deb didn't try to defend Michael's behavior and blame Brian; she simply spoke the truth that Michael never grew past 14 when it comes to Brian.

I would like to encourage a sequel, though, where Lindsay escapes and tries to get to Justin. :) I'm evil sometimes, I know!

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting some reviews! This fic is hilarious! I loved each chapter and the simple fact that you didn't go overboard and kept everyone pretty much in character just makes it that much better. I even loved your original character Kyle.

And I have to say the image of drunk Lindsay laying on the beach as the guys try to figure out how to scale the fence is amazing. And when Justin joins her... I laugh every time I even think about it!

Keep up the great work!
