Title: Five Days (In the Life of Jade Taylor)

Great take on Jade!  I love the secret history with Will.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!

I was just trying to give Jade a bit more rounding out as a character, which ATWT wasn't doing at the time. I was tired of them portraying Will and Gwen as perpetual victims.

That was really good. I felt Jade's pain. What a complex character. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for reading!

Jade's such a great character. I wish she hadn't got such a raw deal on the show.

The End??? Is five days all I get?... I need more!  What a great story.... Thanks for sharing....

Author's Response:

Thanks for reading!

Unfortunately that's the end. I've considered writing a sequel but I like that it ends at the point where everything blows up, that way the reader can imagine what happens next. Maybe Gwen leaves Will or they reconcile like they always do. It's all up to the reader.

Okay so I'm bleary eyed and should have my ass in the bed but I COULD NOT STOP READING THIS AWESOME STORY.  Seriously, I rarely if ever watch ATWT and only saw Jade in passing but from what I saw, she was an interesting character.  But your story made me want to find clips and really get to know her.  The entire Steadman's sequence was beautifully written and Jade's inner monologue was just outstanding.  I really hope you post more, about Jade and anyone else you want to write about.  smilie

 

Wonderful story.  I'm so happy you posted it. smilie

Thanks so much! I had so much fun writing Jade at Steadman's. It seemed like the perfect environment for her because it brought out so much of her issues.

 Jade was an interesting character. She did a lot of bad things, but I had a soft spot for her because she and Luke seemed to be only ones of the teen set that had something substantial about them. The fact that they brought her in to make trouble for Will and Gwen, one of the most boring couple in the world, was her downfall. I always thought she and Will would've made a more interesting couple. Babara Ryan's his mother for crying out loud, Jade could've brought out his inner schemer. I always thought the reason Barbara didn't like Jade was because she saw herself in her.

I loved, loved this story. I've been so indifferent to this character, and you just made her so damn facinating. I loved the confrontation with Will, it felt so real and so justified.

  smilie Do you have any more Jade fics?  Cause if so, please, please post them. And if not...would you consider writing one? 

Thanks so much for this, it was such a great read!



Author's Response:

Thanks!

When I first started watching ATWT I was indifferent to Jade too. I was only watching because of the Luke storyline. Jade got to me because she felt so real compared to Gwen and Maddie. However, the writers didn't really explore her past, which had all the seeds to make her a great character. She was shortchanged and I wanted to do something about that.

 

I loved writing the confrontation with Will because I wanted Jade to have the moral high ground for once. On ATWT she was always wrong and everyone had to let her know it. This was sort of payback ;)
