I am sure she wont mind....I hope....anyway, I am still hoping that Bill could give some sort of explanation as to why he left tara high adn dry....I am thinking that if he showed any interest they might have taken her out....I dunno but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. As for Sookie, bitch is kryptonite to men and yet they keep coming....this really is a tee vee show okay...in real life bitch would be tasting curbside concrete regularly! I forgot Alcide....one question....why? I mean what the ass is Ball adn the team of writers smoking! He is superseded only by his crackho look alike girlfriend Debbie.....and could you please tell me why dumbass sookie did not shoot the bitch with the big frigging shotgun she was holding! I mean Ball must know that we do NOT want to see hear nor smell that character in season 4! As for sam's brother I am hoping that Sam has indeed shot his narrow ass! As for ma and pa of the grimy underpants wearing posse, them could dead too! The dumbass oxygenbandit useless pointless and just downright incredulously dotish characters on TB have now reached their limits. Its time to start killing them off from aside. I am sorry!

Tobagogirl...you crack me up with your observations...I so agree with you...waste of oxygen is the right description for Eggs, Eric, and Alcide (I know Joe M has a smoking bod...so did Mechad Brooks who played Eggs)...but there's nothing going on between the ears...gotta have substance with my eye candy...and though Eric has potential...hooking him up with Sooks is like the kiss of death...did enjoy Bill away from Sookie earlier in Season 3...but that character (Sookie) castrates her men...and I was so done with the Bill character after he refused to help Tara at Russell's mansion when she was trying to flee from Franklin...and then he allowed her to be raped repeatedly by that nut...psst...Bill can jump a cliff for all I care now...
Hope FatJan doesn't get mad that we're semi-hijacking her thread...but I love talking about my True Blood...

Oh no, not at all attheritz and tobagogirl. I am actually enjoying this. I will be posting chapter 15 by tomorrow. Hope you'll like it.

Atters you are so right!!!!!! If Sookie picks up with Eric (and I guess they will according to the books) I would not even bother to comment on that anymore. Eric is a frigging waste of space and oxygen- cute he aint and he sounds as if his balls are being twisted - walks that way too! To me Bill was way cooler! As for Jason Stackhouse being Tara's saviour I agree with your observations 100%! Him now being the King of The Inbred Rednecks is beyond ludicrous and if its one character that I would wish to kill off it would be Jason....I mean where do we go from here....really? As for Daphne and Eggs...man Iactually leapt up and applauded when Eggs died...another oxygen bandit gone. At least Daphne was able to show another dimension to Sam before she too was exxed! Actually the only character that I was sad to see die was that redneck who refused to eat lafayette's sandwhich! he was too funny! I am sorry Eric killed him off. He was highly entertaining!

Tobaggogirl...ITA...now I know Sam and Tara are soulmates...but since Ball and Co. insist on the scenic route to come to that conclusion...then I might as well be entertained while I'm sightseeing...Franklin was that for me...Eggs and Daphne...not so much...and I agree about Lorena...talk about one twisted biotch...sadistic and delusional...but I wouldn't have minded if she's taken Sookie out before she met her true death...but I'm probably one of the few people who could do without the Bill/Sookie/Eric storyline...they drive me batty...thank goodness for the 'side' stories or I'd have given up on True Blood a loooong time ago...and I also hated they had stupid arse Jason Stackhouse to come to Tara's rescue...one because the stupidest character on the show got to take out the coolest vamp on the show...and like you said...it should have been Sam...but noooooooo...the dumbarse got the honors...at the very least....Tara should have been able to send Frankie baby to his true death herself...

LOLOL no offense taken Attheritz! The accents between the trini/tobagonian and the jamaicans are very different but once you are from the islands the expressions are very dramatic. A TB marathon where!!!!!! There was one on 2 weeks before christmas which made me hate Alan Ball even more for the crapalicious may it played out. The only thing that i really loved was Lorena dying.....I HATED that bitch! I agree that Franklyn was a very funny character but they could have tortured Tara less and Sam should have been the one to rescue poor Tara. I am sorry but for me the only man for Tara is Sam....they are both themselves in each other's company. I HATE to see Sam fawning over dumbass Sookie! STEUPS! Besides some of the best bonding scenes including that scene in season 3 ep 11 where they bond at the bar and then go home to bump uglies is eclipsed only by the porch scene in season 1 ep 3. Sam can be as angry as he wants to be and tara can be as fucked up as she wants to be! I could of course kick her head in for tossing back his flowers to him and running him when he made some serious moves to get together. ~sigh~

You two are killing me with the slang...it's hilarious...I thought people in the South talked funny and had our little sayings...but you two take the cake...I hope you don't take offense with this...just an observation...can't wait for Chapter 15...I'm loving the pace of the story...and guess what...a True Blood marathon is about to start of Season 3 in less than 30 minutes...don't want to miss that...and forgive me...but I enjoyed the Franklin character...James Frain is genius...and he made psychosis sexy...and endearing...even though he made my girl Tara's life hell...I was rooting for him and Tara...I know...bad me...but Ball and Crew struck comedic gold with Frain and Wesley...
Author's Response: That James Frain is so darn SEXY!! His looks and his voice...so...sigh! I loved him as Franklyn Mott. It was bitter sweet for him to be killed off. I thought they would've kept him like in the books. Oh well, I am just glad he's no longer in Tara's life. He was too unstable for any human girl.

I loved Tara seeing the photo of the collie and the collie looking familiar. Perhaps a sighting could be arranged to jump start the revelation a bit. Maybe after Aunt vie talks to Sam on the phone and lets him know that he has to tell Tara the truth he cant sleep goes for a run over to Tara's house where he sits and stares at her window or howls or something. (he always did that with dumb ass sookie) She wakes up and sees him and immediately remembers the photo in aunt vie's house. Next day when she tells him that his little dog was over at his house he blanches and evades the issue or something along those lines. All I ask is that you dont finish this story anytime soon okay i am enjoying it wayyyyyyyyy too much! I mark this site all day just waiting for any updates! yes its THAT bad! Oh and me too did glad when Daphne did dead! and ah was too vex when they made sam cry when he saw the deer! steups! she betrayed him in teh worst way adn he cries??? and yet when tara was going through she shit by maryann they never made him run to her rescue! steups!
Author's Response: Hey, thanks for the input. As for di TV show, why di hell dem caaan mek Sam rescue Tara or something like dat? For instance in season 3 I was hoping that Sam staked Franklin saving Tara. But nooooo. Dem neva do dat. Cho man! LoL! Anyway, I am almost through with chapter 15 but it is going to be shorter than my usual word count. So stay tuned!
Date: 27/12/10 03:42 pm
Oh God! Girl teh rewrite was fantastic! I especially am enarmoured of teh "You can touch mine" comment. LOLOLOL! I could see Sam making that comment for real. It brought to mind that scene in season 2 where he ordered Daphne to get outside and take her clothes off or he would fire her and the look on his face! It was sexual ahrassment but she was willing to be harassed, ent! Lovely! Waiting with baited breath for next chapter! Girl youa re great!
Author's Response:
Thanks T'dad. That Sam is a frisky one isn't he. Taking his braggdocious self and rubbing himself up on Tara in his Auntie's house. Heh.
Hey, I remember that episode with Daphne. All I can say is that mi glad she dead off. Meanwhile, got any suggestions for chapter 15? After posting two chapters just days apart, now, I'm kinda stumped. LoL! Once again, thanks for reading and giving me encouragement. You rock!

I love this story. They are falling in love with each other slowly which I like. The fact that Sam took her to meet Aunt Vie is sweet and an important step in their relationship. Sam and Tara are just perfect together!
Author's Response: Yes, they are growing closer and closer together and it scares Tara most of all.

Inevitable rift! Nah uh....pleeeeeeeease dont do that to me.....to us fans! At least here let us develop the cahracters and have a superlatively happy ending! My nerves cannot handle anything other than that! Attheritz I love your analysis of teh situation and you are dead on! Tara's life to me is also an exposition of 'if you keep anticipating that bad things will happen wrapped up in people cant be trusted and I dont deserve love" bad things will happen adn you will never get the love you want! Okay i get that from ball and the posse but I am so blasted tired of tara being a loser after 3 frigging seasons and of Sam being duped taken for a fool taken advantage of for the same three frigging seasons. Everyone was angry that he was so angry in season 3 but I was like hey its about time Merlotte start kicking some serious ass up in the bar! I almost creamed when I saw him beat that redneck! I hope that on her way out of town Tara sees him after he shoots Tommy's lame ass and that they both ride out of town to come back stronger bigger and badder and more in love than ever....Alas I am sure Ball has a big bucket of sand waiting to throw in my pot of boiled rice on that score!

You're trying to make cry, aren't you, FatJan...making me fall more and more in love with Tam...knowing an inevitable rift is coming...and not knowing if their love will survive this...I love Aunt Vie...she's a shifter as well as Marvin and Martin, isn't she...that's part of the reason Sam feels such an affinity for her and her family...she's also a gentle soul too...love that you've included at least one person in Sam's life that understands unconditionally what a shifter goes through...the isolation...the loneliness...the uncertainty of how you're going to be accepted by humans...something that Ball and Co. seem to forget...hated the Mickens...they were stereotypical low class leeches...instead of having some guidance in his life for what he is...they sponged off of him like it seems everyone else does/did...what a wasted opportunity to give us a more in-depth insight into the life and complications of being a shifter...glad you are correcting that mistake...
Tara senses that something is amiss...yet she is patient because she's trusting Sam more and more each day...but the longer he waits...the greater the chance of her reaction being not positive...this is such a beautiful yet complex tale of love and trust...can't wait to see where you take us next...

I'm sorry I haven't left a review in awhile...but work called...anywho...have a few days of winter vacation...so I finally caught up...loved this story btw....love Tam...
I love how you write Tara in this tale...you show all of her vulnerabilities without making her be a victim...something Ball and the writers of True Blood seem to get off on to the extreme sometimes...yes, Tara has faced many hardships in her life...but she's a survivor...she's scarred and scared...one thing that always gets me if sometimes people seem to forget all things that Tara has had to deal with in her relatively young life...surviving abuse is never easy...especially when there is a role reversal where the child has to assume the role of parent...Lettie Mae has never been a true parent...and though Tara hates what she's done to her...she still feels a responsibility to her mom...children love unconditionally...even when it's not deserved or earned...thus, it has shaped all of her personal relationships...she (Tara) doesn't think she deserves love...she doesn't have that background of a healthy love relationship...so for her it's harder to accept than to most...so her feelings for Sam is foreign to her...she's afraid to trust what she feels...even though she recognizes it for what it is...love...to actually to be able to say it back to him was a milestone for her...
Sam...in a sense is the same as her...he's had hardship too...but he seeks love with that special person and has found it in Tara...but he's also afraid that if he reveals that part of him that he will lose her...hence his quandry...he wants to share everything with her...but can he trust enough in their love to reveal his true nature...for now, they're living on borrowed time...but reveal it...he must...the question is can Tara accept all of him...love him in spite of what he reveals to her...my heart aches for both of them...I hope she remembers Morgan's advice...and realize that he is still the Sam that she loves...who loves her...
Can't wait for the reveal and how Tara handles the revelation...loving this story...please update soon...
Author's Response:
I couldn't have said it better than the way you've wonderfully put the entire story into perspective. I see what you mean by Ball and his writers failing to do with the Tara character. I wish he and his crew would open their eyes and consider what the TAM fans' take on all this and save this wonderful character from destruction. As you put it, there is so much that Ball could've done and could still do with Tara and Sam by building something substantial than have them as just one-night-buddies. . Don't worry, I am slowly getting around to the big reveal which on one hand am afraid to do but on the other hand is a necessary evil. Again, thanks for reading.
