Nicole, First off I'd like for you to know that I've had my user name changed. It used to be Bjluv, But as you can see now, it's BritinManor. BritinManor is my user name on MW, and since I decided to try my hand at writing, I figured I better have both names the same, as I don't think it would sit well to have the same story posted by two different authors. That said, I hope you give my story a try. On to my review:

I have to give you credit for giving Ethan the balls to actually pull the trigger. I know in my last review I said I didn't think he would. That's because I don't picture the chin rat having that much backbone. BUT, if he was publicly humiliated by Brian, some people like revenge just a little too much. Whatever gave him the idea Brian would ever consider going to bed with the homely thing, is beyond me. Brian wouldn't touch him in any universe he might live in. I have to wonder why he gave into Dixon so easily, and readily agreed to do his bidding. Were they possibly sleeping together? But if Ethan thinks he will carry out his plans to finish the job, I don't think he will be able too. There are too many people who have Brian's back now. I can't wait for Brian's memory to come back full-force, and remember Ethan. Just MAYBE, Brian caught a glimpse of him that night prior to the shooting. I can't wait to see if they find a fingerprint on the bullet.

I don't think Ethan knows that Mercy has the watch and that everyone is aware that it was originally Brian's. When Michael asks for that watch back, all hell is going to break loose. Ethan would be better off forgetting about his 'trophy'.

I have to laugh at Lindsay's insistence that she will get Brian and Justin to work with her. Neither one of the guy's can stand her, and why would they work with her, instead of Mercy. And good luck with the whole Michael and Ethan working together and actually agreeing on something. I still can't figure out where she gets the idea Michael knows anything. Just because he hung around a set, doesn't mean he actually helped with anything. And I don't think she has any intention of producing Michael's 'Opus'.

I just have to say, thank you for no vivid interactions with the chin rat. That's one thing I liked about that arc in the original. Although both Ethan and Justin could be found naked, we didn't have to witness sex between them. Cowlip just might have lost some viewers. *shudders at thought*

I wish you a Wonderful Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year.

HUGS ~ Cathy

So Ethan shot Brian and stole his watch them he stupidly gave it to Michael who have it to Barney?

IDIOTS!!

Lindsay must be high if she thinks Brian or Justin would ever work with her they have too much integrity and taste to stoop to her level of mediocrity.

Caleb, Hunter and Barney found a perfect bullet now that just need it tested and fingerprinted.

Brian's memories are starting to come back and that means trouble for anyone who is behind this attempt on Brian's life.

thank You for the Update and Happy Holidays🎄

I'm not sure but it sounds like Ethan is guilty?  Love the new banner and always glad to see new chapters.

Oh this was good.  Love when Mikey is an idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Barnabus have a threeway with Michael and Ethan? I guess Brian's watch has been stolen by Ethan or someone who sold it to him.

Lindsay really is a bitch. Standing around accepting condolances for James, when she was the one who kicked him out. Her actions are probably the cause of the accident.

I've been following along, fairly well, but this chapter actually has me a tad confused. Nobody was finishing thoughts or sentences, and I'm not sure if that was intentional. How can a man be an aunt to Mercy? And if Barnabus was a 'good' cop, why was he carrying Brian's personal belongings out of the hospital room? And why did Barney have the watch?  He said a friend gave it to him. Why are they not demanding this friends name? Lindsay found someone to do the music score, and that person has Micheal upset. Is this a character we have been introduced to?  And has she, in reality, really hired this person? And is Mercy's cousin, actually her sister? And why does Mercy want Everybody to go to Rajan's house? And you TOTALLY lost me when we got to Brian's POV. Cyn started out asking for someone to say something. ABOUT WHAT??? What are they talking about? Then Brian saying that's why Michael would always be where was. AGAIN, Total Confusion!

What I did gather from this chapter, is that it sounds like Michael might be connected to the shooting. Whether directly or indirectly, I'm not sure, even though I have voiced my suspicions about him a few times, already.

(This doesn't have to do with the the chapter)- but it amazes me that six people can write a story together. I just don't know how it's done.

So Barney didn't steal the watch but how did he get it??

Mercy and her sister have been through so much and it cause to wonder what really happened to her parents?

Did Dixon die due to alcohol or was he helped?

Was it Michael calling Mercy and her parents?

So many questions and not enough answers yet.

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. I loved the monikers, cold-hearted and cold-pussied bitch. I loved that Shelby gave her the ole heave-ho, using the same title. The fact that Shelby destoryed her USB, caused laughter to ensue. But I have to wonder about Lindsay's thoughts of a hard copy. Is she referring to Mercy's script, and planning to steal it and use as her own, or is she referring to her own hard copy, and if she is, why wouldn't she know where it is? Is she planning to have Michael type out the copy, or have him write a new one, using his 'vision'? And, Oh Lord, I can just imagine the disaster that will be. And, Lindsay promising Michael to direct/produce (which is it?) his "opus", well let's just say, I can't find a word to express how ridiculous that is. Lindsay should have at least read it first, in order to know what she is dealing with, and who she puts her trust in. And yes, as Michael put it, we shall see who has the last laugh. Because it certainly will not be you, Michael.

Can't wait for the hotness that will be Drew and Ben. And as far as Brian and Justin go, (did Vic seriously catch them having sex?), Oh. My. God. Oh my god! Damn. Geez. OK I was not coherent for a bit. I had to hurry up and get my jaw off the floor, so I could continue to read. I don't have much in the way of anything intelligent to say, so let me just say that was HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

Ding Dong, Dixon is dead. What kind of tumultuous problems will arise from that?

And there's a bullet lodged in the wall. Justin, at first said he could remember everything, then when he had the flashback, remembered Brian being stabbed. Not sure if that means anything, though. And, pray tell, why, when help arrived, did the guy scream out, Kinney! Stay with us! We need the Stud! I'm asking myself, why do they need the Stud?  But, hopefully, when Carl gets back, and gets the bullet out of the wall, fingerprints will be accessible. I really have to wonder if Michael is involved in it all. Somehow, I think he is.

I'm loving the whole mystery and intrigue of this story, and let's not forget our two moronic villans.

{{{Big Hugs}}} Cathy =^..^=

I was wondering just who Caleb was, being that he was such good friends with Hunter! So, he's in the same business as Hunter, only he's being paid to watch out for Brian. This should really start to get interesting when Mercy and Caleb join forces, and Mercy tells Caleb all her suspicions. Between the two of them, horefully they can figure out something more.

So, Michael is being a whining nincompoop. Complaining about the food, and being ignored. And what's with his aversion to talking about sex? He's been this way in other chapters. Anyway, love that Brian and Ben aren't filtering their words around him about Michael cheating. Now that Barnabus is back in the room, I vote for them all to pick up this kind of talk again.

{{{Big Hugs}}} Cathy =^..^=

Did Barney draw the comic or did he steal it?

Love the update.  The recipes are amazing.

We are close to finding out who shot Brian or did we find out?

Michael directing with Lindsay should be a Laugh Riot he knows as much about directing as Lindsay knows about being Kind, Considerate and Thoughtful.

Their masterpiece should receive a standing ovation of Boos lol

Barnaby working with them should make it easier to find out what his story really is and if he is tied to what happened to Brian two years ago?

Lindsay may think she is persuasive but she has Never Met a force like this group who will crush her while also laughing at her feeble attempts.

Superb Update :)
