Summary:

 

When rockstar Adam Brand makes a racist remark during a drunken magazine interview, it becomes an international headline.  Within hours his PR Agent concocts the perfect plan to revive his rapidly sinking career before it’s too late, but will Adam be able to pull it off?

 

**** STEREO has been removed for editing, refining and if all goes according to plan, publishing! I couldn't have finished it without all my readers leaving their words and thoughts--even if I didn't always like them--so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. <3

Title: Chapter 11: “I can’t play this game anymore.”

Or.... "10 Shocking and Humbling Lessons I've Learned from Knowing (and Loving) a Rock Star." He confessions of how she nabbed, robbed and repented for her actions. Including a full apology. She could leave him a rough draft while it hits the presses and she gets the heck out of dodge (runs for cover). Even though I don't think running away is a good solution. But it makes for a good out until the dust settles - or IF the dust settles eventually). And she could list off the personal loves/likes she has for this man that she has heretofore ignored and kept secret from him...... Just sayin'!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Title: Chapter 11: “I can’t play this game anymore.”

On my 6th time through this story I have noticed/wondered the following (I'm not obsessed am I?? LOLZ):

What happened to Shaun signing the confidentiality agreement? Did she refuse? How did Celia handle it so it wasn't signed. Janelle mentions that Adam never had Shaun to sign one...Did Shaun know Adam before they even met?? Shaun said Adam actually reminded her of a young boy who broke her heart when she was younger...Why does Adam hate his father? What was the story about that? What happened REALLY between Veronica and Adam? Why was Veronica trying to see him after the FIRST concert that Shaun was at? What did Veronica argue about after that show and at the bar and why did Veronica leave when Adam went to talk to Shaun, Yoshi and Noodle? Did Adam and Veronika hook up? (On the rooftop in this last chapter, Adam hesitates and hedges Shaun's question of whether or not Adam has slept with someone else since being "with" Shaun.) Why was Veronika in Sydney? And why was she crying? How come Adam got pissed off and didn't want to talk about Veronika when Shaun and Adam were in Shaun's house. [BTW Have to just say, Shaun is really unreal to think that writing a scandalous tell-all about a rock star is going to make her a legit journalist... - just sayin'] Adam can Google her, BTW... and then? Yoshi suspects Shaun... Hope he doesn't out her before she has a chance to be honest! And...maybe Celia ISN'T such an evil witch... Maybe she is applying some reverse-psychology on Shaun to get her to see she HAS fallen in love with someone... so is just YANKING Shaun's chain... [harsh way to do it but... maybe.....] Don't you think Adam has started to catch on that she must be more than just an innocent untouched and untainted model.... again... he could Google and find out and then.... And hold up... key question: why DID Adam say what he said in that article. He said he was "mostly drunk" and Janelle even pointed out that he WAS aware of what he was doing. Honestly... he has to iron out his own demons in this case too. And be straight up about them! I can see he IS falling for Shaun (and vice versa) but still.... I agree with the earlier reviewer that brought this up.... And....back to Veronica... did Adam sleep with her or someone else that refused to do the initial music video that Shaun stood in for? What did Adam call Janelle so worried about in Australia that she flew in... WHAT was his concern....? Annnnnnd.... what if her parents contact Adam and rip him a new one..... This will out Shaun even faster...

Title: Chapter 12: “I knew there was something off about you."

Holy smokes! Thank you for the beautiful update! Man oh man! This is about to get NUTS!!!!! I agree in part with redhobo's review; Shaun needs to come clean and right now all hell is going to break loose! What's great about this story is you cringe and squirm along with the characters. And that is truly a sign of great writing and a great story!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, we all wish we could look at our own lives (as we live it) in such an analytical way as you can when you READ about someone's life. If we could do that, we would avoid real-life mistakes. Right?! Well, that said...Shaun and Adam have some serious chemistry. And they will LEARN from all this. But it will not be right until they both get honest with each other fully. Adam with his previous girlfriend; Veronica (who has "something" on Shaun, sadly) and what in the HECK is she doing at COSMO anyhow?!? And he has to get straight on his judgmental attitude that was entirely expressed in his "drunken" statements in the article he did in the first place. Shaun MUST grow a spine realize she messed up and let him know - NOW. And Adam MUST by some public actions (my recommendation), rectify the statements he's made so that is settled. VOICES: This story is REALLY, REALLY great and I think you get so many reviews because we are all so INTO it! Please update again soon!!!!

Title: Chapter 15: "Are hose and garter your normal Friday night get-up?”

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LITERALLY threw my hands up in rage and frustration at this ending of the chapter! [Startling my co-workers who wondered what in the world I am doing at my computer!! LOL] How. Do. You. End. This. Chapter. Like. This?!?!?!?!

Voices: As an author I love you DEARLY - 100%!!!!!!!!!!! This is your BEST story! But AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You. Are. Killing. Me................................................

Please update soon so I know what in the bloody heck is next! This is a HORRENDOUS teaser!

Absolutely, utterly, completely and TRULY horrendously TEASING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE it nonetheless! Man! I love it! Just don't tease us fans like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Please. Give. Us. More. Quickly...... This is an addiction. Now that you've given us a hit after sooooo long you have to follow up with more! ;D

:)

~Nim

PS. I hope Adam helps save her before she gets in too deeply.... They have got to get together soon.....!

Title: Chapter 16: “If anything happens to her I swear to god I’ll fucking kill you.”

Well...........

HOT

FRIGGIN

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I. BOW. DOWN. TO. YOU......................................

YOU. ARE. LEGENDARY.....!

I am BEYOND ecstatic at the super RAPID update! A fantastically GINORMOUS double-dose of STEREO!

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!

[Yes, I'm whacked out now....]

Thank you!

I'd be knocked into a comatos state if you gave us a few more chapters.... Trust me - there is NEVER too much!

Keep it coming! (no pun intended....)

Can't wait.

There are now an infinity of possibilities of the direction of this story since a lot of crazy things happened just now, including... no protection....

Things could jump (a few month or year time lapse... where will they be).... Or not... Yay! Yay! Yay!

Don't let too much time pass on this story, for the next update.... Let's say no more than.....7 days.... :D

Yay!

Title: Chapter 16: “If anything happens to her I swear to god I’ll fucking kill you.”

Ha Ha! More to add:

7. Does Adam confide in Katie (his sister) or John (his long time friend)? If so, they may give him the good advice and remind him that he said some pretty crappy (understatement) things about other races and he can see what he is afraid of truly.

7a. Katie his sister must be following some of this. She may have spotted via TV or video the lovey-dovey-ness they exhibited during the fashion show where Adam was performing.... She can shove that fact in Adam's face and make him get real and apologize to Shaun (he is at fault as well).

8. Does Adam realize that he probably failed others (perhaps Veronika) where he allowed them to walk down the path of destruction that happens in that industry? Drinking, drugs, bad crowd, etc.? He can start setting that right?

9.Shaun having some separation IF she takes that job in NYC, can start to realize what she stood for when she first got together with Adam, and realize that her drinking and partying is not her normal and even doing modeling. It may be okay if she has her own self-respect in tact - but not when she is floundering like she is.

10. Once she remembers and gets back to her true self, she can do what she loves in writing. Her parents, Adam and even Celia have tried to remind her of what she had the best of - being herself. As "innocent" or "jaded" that was. It was what was GREAT about her. And Adam said numerous times that she shouldn't change that...

11. Can she write an article about herself (if it is not so incriminating or nor in some way a PR disaster) that has her learning from her experiences, her mistakes and from love and understanding that the best advice is to "be you."

12. Since both Adam and Shaun are being outright IDIOTS I think it is time for some intervention to occur; Katie, John, Noodle, Yoshi, Celia and even the parents....

13. Janelle can whack Adam with the fact that there MUST have been SOME reason he never had Shaun sign anything... I still never understood WHY he was so loose on that point....

14. Last but not least, I am concerned at the lack of protection used.... if that could mean... pregnancy....

14a. If so, she should eventually tell him. Not this horrendous thing of, "Had a baby, looks just like you, never told you because ___ [insert attrociously dumb excuse here], but I love you, so let's make it a family now..." type of ending! While that one could be ARTFULLY done only by the master VOICES.... It would really suck if it just ended like that....

15. VOICES: do what you do best - write it how YOU want it...

Just saying the things I'm thinking about...

PS. Please do an AUTHOR'S NOTE to some one of your reviewers so we have some estimate of when you update next.......... :D :D :D

Title: Chapter 17: “I just want you to be happy Adam.”

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the best author in the world: I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

This was such an amazing ending! Such a great story! Seriously beautiful!

I agree with Cherry101: PUBLISH PROFESSIONALLY!!!! WRITE A SCRIPT!!!! YOU WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!

And I absolutely think a beautiful epilogue and sequel will be amazing. You could even include stories or back stories for all those other cute characters; Celia, Yoshi, Noodle, Jon, his dad Patrick, Janelle, Katie, etc.!!!!!

Thank YOU (!!!) for writing such an uplifting story!

I am BEYOND impressed that you handled the last chapter so beautifully - it's P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!

And I love that you completed Lila's Thunder as well. That could use an epilogue too! :D

Trois next? Or professional publishing? BTW, when you DO finally publish professionally, please tell your readers so we know to buy your books! :D

~ Nim (your emphatic fan)



Author's Response:

Writing professionally is a big dream of mine so it really makes me kind of emotional when you guys say stuff like this to me! lol  I'm so especially glad that you liked the ending Nim Manu because you are a HUGE part of the reason that some chapters of this story even came to fruition.  I know I'm not good with responding but please know that your emails and reviews and thoughts on Stereo inspired me more times than I can count so for that I thank you.  I finished this story and I really believed in it while I did.  Couldn't have done that without you and the other readers so thank you thank you thank you!!!
