I'm not even asking for smoochies, just let them know that they could, eventually have them legally..... You're killing us!!!!



A great fict, just like the rest of yours that I've had the chane to read

[gabbles]

Please? I'm pleading with you here....please? Make 'em realise? Please. Pretty please!? *puppy dog eyes*

Hey Debra! How are you?



You know, for some reason I have this image of you reading feedback, sitting in your chair slightly tipped back, arms across your chest, with a big ol' shit eatin grin on your face, chuckling to yourself, gloating, to put it mildly, at the way you're continuing to torture us mercilessly. Damn! You're good! You know we're loving every minute of it.



So, Ira at least has a clue. He should go with his gut feeling. Their ideas for fixing up Willow are too funny. I can just picture her rolling her eyes too -- so Willow! And of course, gotta love Tara all glistening with perspiration. (swoon)



Willow finally lets herself think about her without the self flagellation, but oh, highly anticipating the time when it can be more than thought!



Keep up the great work!



Wimpy

[her BRIGHTeyes]

great update.

can't wait for the next



i had a fun time reading this,

but all my fics are getting mixed up.

like when tara came in all sweaty,

i thought, oh, she must've been playing tennis

oh goodie, Ira already knows her,

from playing tennis with her,

so he'll probably invite her over.

and then yayness

but this isn't that fic.



it's getting bad



update soonish?

Like Wimpy I've got an image of you reading the feedback. However the way I picture you is sitting in the control center of your fortress of evil, wearing all black and stroking a white cat. You're wondering how long to go on before moving to the second stage of your diabolical scheme and making demands of us poor kittens.



"Well kittens, You're going to have to do something for me if you want any smoochies. I want to rob fort Knox, becuase if you don't Willow and Tara will never figure it out Mwahahaha"



damn you you evil mastermind.



*goes off and takes medication* That was a great update



I have to wonder why if Ira could realise that Tara obviously isn't a student, then why can't Willow?



Looking forward to more

Debra please buy them a clue. You are driving me crazy here. Their inner babbling is funny.

Great update . Even Ira thought she was a teacher, so why doesn't Willow?!! . Love sam xx

[Grimlock72]

Had to smile at Willow giving in to at least think about Tara . It's also nice to see her talk friendly with her father and mother (in that order).



If my mother had called me at such a ungodly hour (no way she would ) it would likely have answered less friendly than Willow did



Soooo Willow saw a sweaty Tara leaning over/against the counter. No wonder she can't stop thinking about her, heh.

Oh, Now I see, you want to play a little game of "driving us crazy."



I think now that the question of Tara being a teacher is out, don't you think that would start the wheels in Willow's mind turning? Being curious and all? She would go and investigate.



I think it would and I think you should. I'm not telling you what to write *cough* but *cough* you should *cough*



Stop being a tease



-LR

[Insanity]

Oh my... I already see the next misunderstandings coming straight ahead.

Willow will be house-sitting.... Tara will be thinking Willow still lives at her parents....



I already see it happen...



But this part was really cute. Willow should listen to her parents more often... Especially to Ira!!!!





Good job Debra!!

Hey Deb,

Great update as usal , sweaty Tara *yum* lol Ira and Willow are too funny. I am glad Ira pointed it out to her that she was to old and mature to be a student. its going to be funny to see how Willow refects on this latter. I love the constant mis ques. Great Job and hope to read more soon.

Arron



Btw How are the Mrs. and the lil man? I hope ya'll are doing well and stayin cool. (gotta love the Texas summers)

[BurningWhiteRose]

Man, they really need to figure out that they are BOTH teachers, and go on a date!



About Willow's family....THEY ARE HILLARIOUS! Ira was stealing her food, Sheila was all proud, yet still hoping Willow would turn straight. Overall, very believable family image.



Keep up the good work!



Sincerely,

BWR

[The Rose24]

I think I speak for everyone when I say Arrrrggggh!

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[pipsberg]

Great update! I love how Ira picks up on things before Willow does!! Willow and Tara are tripping over each other too much to realize what in the heck is going on! Too funny. Sweaty Tara was a nice touch More soon please!!

Dang sweetie! this is making me crazy!!!

You're killin' me here! (But in a good way) I love the way you characterized Willow's parents.

I can't wait for the next part.... *eagerly biting my nails*



ps... Wow... You're following one of my stories *That's like....I don't know.... Shakespeare saying "You write good shit!" hehehe ...



I would be pleased to supply you with an update (What's your preference... A Different Life... or Art Appreciation? )



I can't wait for the next part of this story...cause all this torture will so be worth it when our girls finally figure it out. hehehe

you mean it’s not ludicrous yet??? Wow, I must not be trying hard enough. Let’s try this…

---

Sorry to disappoint, but the W/T interactions still don't ring the chime on my ludicrous bell, though they do make me laugh (Hmm, I've just reread what I've written and I'm now wondering what a ludicrous bell looks like. Jaunty cap and a feather boa perhaps?) To my mind, it's still remotely plausible that two intelligent women could be engaged in this comedy of misidentification. It's not been very long since they've met and they're both primed to think of the other as a student and so they interpret all comments in ways that support what they "know" to be true. Never underestimate the willing blindness of people. You haven't yet taken this to the point where it's inconceivable that the W and T kittens know wouldn't figure out the score--and I trust that you won't. You've just taken it to the point of delicious torment. I'm having a good time.



(What I did find ludicrous, actually, was Sheila's inquiry into publishing. Public high school teachers, as a rule, don't publish academically [and I'm assuming that's what Sheila meant]. Their jobs aren't designed with research in mind. They teach too many classes and their workplaces don't provide the necessary infrastructure. In addition, most HS teachers aren't trained to conduct research. They're trained to teach. This is a small point, I know—a throwaway line in a neat little interaction between W and her folks. It's just that it was jarring enough to me to momentarily suspend my suspension of disbelief, so I thought I'd mention it. And then surround it with comments about how much I love this fic. Did I mention that I love this fic?

[Shy One]

Aaarrrrrrrgggg!!!!!



*banging head on desk*

How can two intelligent people be so freakin' blind?!!!!

*resumes banging head on desk*



However, I'm still loving this story.

*staggers off to find aspirin*



Shy One

[russ]

So Sheila is still somewhat "difficult" though perhaps less so than in other stories. Ira's quite likeable with the joking, the sneakiness, and the would-be matchmaking. (I'm guessing that's what "Bubbie" is?) Also he's considerably smarter than his daughter, seeing right away that Tara's a teacher, not a student.



Willow when nervous blushes and babbles; apparently Tara becomes patronizing. Spectacular? No wonder she's mentally kicking herself.



I've now officially given up on them ever getting together, and decided to enjoy the story as a comedy of errors. On the other hand, if Justin needs help with his Ft. Knox raising the bribe money project, I'm in.



Have a great weekend.

keep going. nice job.

[Arwen276]

YOU ARE STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVES!!

Now is that something one tells to their favorite writer???



STOP THE TEASING PUH-LEASE!!!



Do you know how I read your updates? I just skim and skim and skim til I read the new 'subtle' misunderstandings you put to confuse those poor two souls who got stuck in your fic!!



AND I LOVE IT!!



More!



~Arwen

[Grimaldi]

loved the update, but you are too cruel



its funny that Willow's dad could figure out that Tara might be a teacher, yet Willow doesn't seem to agree.



i liked the interaction between Willow and her parents

I'm not stealing, I'm just taking things without paying for them. In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?
Welcome friends, how may I pervert you?

[JustSkipIt]

mollyig – Yeah, that’s Sheila but this is definitely a kinder gentler one. I don’t think that we see enough of the Tara internal dialog so I’m trying to add some more. Glad you liked that one. Thanks.



BARE1975 – Welcome and I’m glad you’ve liked my fics. Lol. Eventually is the key word here I think.



gabbles – Glad you are loving the anticipation.



veiled isis moon – Yeah, definitely cuter and cuter. Everyone knows they like each other; that’s not the point. Tee hee.



wimpy – You have that pretty much right. I love seeing the frustration in everyone’s comments and imagining it on your faces. One of the joys of my life. Yeah, Ira is clueful but not enough. Thanks.



her BRIGHTeyes – Thanks. I’m lol about mixing this up with Game of love. That happens to me sometimes.



Justin – Every time you comment, I find myself laughing uncontrollably and going to find Rachel and get her to read it. Well done. Although I’m allergic to cats so I’d be stroking a dog or a teddy bear…

I have to wonder why if Ira could realise that Tara obviously isn't a student, then why can't Willow?

Well now… that would really ruin things wouldn’t it.



Romy – Woo hoo for crazy!



sammi – Thanks. Yeah, sometimes all it takes is to not be looking from the same perspective to see the truth.



Grimmy – Yeah, Willow’s definitely giving in. My father used to call us to say hello every Sunday at 7:00 and it drove my mother crazy. I don’t call anyone before 8:00 and that’s only if they have kids. No kids: more like 10:00 or later. Yeah, she’s definitely thinking about our favorite blonde.



LR – Yep, that’s my game. Yes, she’s curious and there will be some investigations. Good suggestion. Thanks.



Insanity – Good foresight. Thanks.



Arron CFF – Welcome. Glad you like it. They are great. He’s getting very active and playful. It’s darn hot but you know it’s not the heat; it’s the humidity.



BurningWhiteRose – Glad you liked the family and the lunch. Yeah, they should figure it out. I wonder if they will…



The Rose24 – I agree.



pipsberg – Thanks. Yeah, they’ll have to realize it soon.



BTW: posted feedback on RI this morning. I think it’s lovely so far.



MissKittys Ball O Yarn –

Yeah! . That’s what I’m going for.



Thanks for the compliment but I think I’m still miles from Shakespeare. I’d say an update to AA!



babyblue So I’ve got to get more ludicrous. I’ll work on it but I’m glad to hear that it’s delicious torment.



I completely agree that Sheila’s inquiry is ludicrous but I don’t think it’s out of character for her. Keep in mind that their daughter graduated MIT if three years, probably publishing while there and that her parents see teaching as a “starter job.” So as ludicrous as I think the expectation is, I don’t think it’s inconceivable to believe that Willow’s parents would expect and encourage it. And from Willow’s side, she’s still an idealist. She’s not yet been beaten down by the low pay, long hours, and pointless administrative tasks. She still believes she can bring the love of learning to her charges and probably that she can publish new and better ways to build a mousetrap.



russ – Yes, I’d say that’s a good characterization of Sheila. She’s not evil—just self-involved and stubborn. Bubbie is an endearing term for a grandmother but more idiomatically a she’s very fond to the point of matchmaking, rubbing dirt off your cheek, or making you chicken soup when you’re sick. Lol that Tara becomes patronizing. Yes, I can see that. Glad you liked Justin’s idea. Cool, a robbery in the planning.



Shy One – Sorry about your head but glad of your frustration. Make sure you hit the desk and not the computer.



amazonaa – Thanks. Glad you like.



Arwen – Just starting? Wow, again I’m not trying enough I guess. Thanks for the compliment. Thanks.



Grimaldi – Thanks.

Meh. Ira can see that Tara's a teacher. So why can't Willow? I mean, it's got to be pretty clear by now... and won't they see each other in the staff lounge sooner or later?



Oh well. Knowing you, it'll probably be later, you tease!

It's insulting to the whole gender[sic] of rap.



~Eminem

[lipkandy]

I just caught up and...this is just deliciously evil. much more insidious torture than anything ME could have dreamed up. makes Glory look like a schoolgirl. you have a board full of Kittens writhing in frustration... and loving it.



and the "feeling kinda bendy" line !!! holy frickin' hell!!! that's a classic. I can picture SMG delivering it with that little life of the eyebrows as she appraises Faith! if it had been on the show (as it should have been), it would be everyone's sig. as it is, it's even more BTVS than BTVS. perfect! perfectly evil!



xomel

[tarawhipped]

Really enjoying this fic, but I've always been a sucker for the whole mistaken identity schtick. Feel free to keep stretching it out-the suspense is delicious

[Shy One]

Ok, Debra.

Two can play at this game......



Oh yes!!! They still don't know about each other!!

I love it! I'd LOVE to see how long you can keep this up!! The suspense is wonderful.

I love it when you tease me like that!

Tease me some more! Oh yes!!

Tease me, tease me!



Just kidding.

Still completely loving this story!!!

More soon, please?



Shy One

[sharleen711]

i just discovered your fic and i really really love it!!!

i can't believe they can be so blind

i've read all your fic too fast so now, i've to wait

next update, next update!!!! please.......it's so good!

~ Sharleen ~

[Irishgrl3]

This is a wonderful story although it is really pushing the frustration button Can't wait to see how it will play out...

[JustSkipIt]

TempestDuer – Well, you would think they would get those smarts wouldn’t you? But what fun would this story be if they did run into each other in the lounge?



lipkandy – Hey there. Always wonderful to see your id on my thread. I bow to the writer of my favorite fan story: Tempest Fugit S7



Nonetheless, I’m glad that you found and like the thread. Yes, my intention is to make everyone crazy. It’s quite fun. Interesting that everyone was so pleased with the bendy line. I had a very hard time with it, editing and re-editing. I didn’t think that I got it just right but since everyone loves it so much, I take the praise.



tarawhipped – A vote for stretching it out? Cool. Stretching it I am…



Shy One – Thanks. Yes, it will take a while. Glad you’re loving it.



Sharleen – Welcome. Glad you’re loving it and the other fics.



Irishgrl3 – Woo hoo for frustrating! It’s supposed to be so it must be working.
