I glad you liked it debilyn. That one took some time, there really was a lot going on for her in SAAB huh?

Ah Morley! Loved SAAB scotch thoughts! You’ve done a fab job of getting inside Lee’s head here ‘He couldn’t, he wouldn’t think of Amanda as exotic or mysterious, but she was beautiful’ -Love it!! rofl!!! and especially loved Lee’s mulling over what Amanda meant with her fantasies about secret agents line! whahaha!! Teee heee.. you’ve lined up SAAB and SBTB perfectly here Morley – genius! Oh dear.. now I’m having trouble concentrating on Amanda’s window reflections! you really shouldn’t start a sentence with ‘She imagined him sweeping her off of the bed’ hoo haaaa.. mind blank.. Too funny how Amanda thinks Lee ‘could wear a tuxedo nicely but he was no fantasy even though he was a secret agent’ – are we sure the drugs had worn off yet?? Love how you summed up what Amanda wanted Morley! Whoo love the dual reference to fantasies in the stories! sorry I'm a bit slow getting to them this week! byeee

Hiya Morley! I’m finally getting back to your vignettes on Saved by the bells! I’m falling a bit behind! doh!! scotch thoughts- whooo so cool that you’ve written Lee asking himself ‘why had he asked Amanda to watch his fish in the first place?’ – I’ve got a little theory on that.. comes up in Over the Limit – will look forward to hearing your take on it! Not long now till we start on that long awaited ep!! Loved to hear Lee thinking about how he sent Pretzel the clown I love it! Lee is so logical.. and.. so wrong! He so doesn’t yet realise what is beginning to happen inside him! window reflections- Yes.. Dean doesn’t know the same people Lee does! A wonderful summing up of Amanda’s experiences in this episode Morley – some really major experiences for her. awh! I liked how you explored Amanda questioning her idea that she and Lee could connect and be friends – when she is beginning to learn more and more what kinds of experiences Lee has been through, and just how wounded he probably really is. Love the ending- so true!!! Nothing could give Amanda confidence that Lee values her – like Lee committing treason for her Smile Okay! I’m on a roll!!! I’m on to reading your vignettes for Long Christmas eve! scotch thoughts – Lee hates hospitals? rofl.. yes not a hint of that in the episode! ‘may have set him back a few years’ ha! excellent! muahahahaa! awh! poor Lee!!! He is learning that he isn’t doing so great with this lone wolf existence of his after all! beautifully written Morley.. makes me want to give Lee a hug (and surreptitious squeeze ahem.. ) 'Remarkable' is a great word! whahahaaaa love how you wrote Lee hearing something about compromising their relationship [btw- this is something James Bond wouldn't give a toss about huh!] window reflections – Hmm Phillip and Jamie’s father called to wish them a Merry Christmas huh??!!! Love how Amanda is proud of how she coped with christmas eve! well put!! Whahahaaaa!!! Okay love how you wrote Amanda wondering if Lee heard any of what she said about compromising their relationship teee heeeee!!! WEll done Morley! sorry for the delay.. This has been lots of fun! looking forward to the next! Yes, I agree with one of the commenters on the fanfic site, who encouraged you: Please! Keep writing!!! byeee!

Well, I know I haven't discussed any comments to the stories, but I keep thinking about Iwsod's comment about how I included a call from Joe on Christmas. I did it because Amanda didn't seem to think that her boys were badly off with out their father even though she had made a about Karen Rudolph and Lee being without father's around on holidays. So I though maybe that was because she told herself that Joe was doing the best that he could from where he was, and I guess a phone call on significant days would cut it.
There will be places in the stories where I guess I may have to add things that aren't in the episodes and I may have to fill out a bit of the SMK universe, of course it will be SMK according to me... but that is part of the fun, right?
Here is to more fun!

Here is to more fun! Hi Morley! Interesting to hear your rationale behind including the line about Joe calling- very wise! Yeah the episode seemed to have blinders on when it came to the kids’ dad! when there was all that talk about Lee’s family and Rudloph’s family! they were quite remiss in my view! Oh I’m glad you enjoy hearing my reactions – I write them when I can a) because it’s fun! and b) because I can related to putting yourself out there (though not in fan fic) and then being thrilled to hear someone’s reaction or feedback I find specific comments to be especially encouraging-thus I try and give them I guess! Plus I can just picture you thinking – whooo that’s the bit she liked? really??!! tee heee.. we are all so different it can be fun to find out people’s reactions to what we put out there huh! I know I get a kick out of reading the bits I have written that people connected with and eventually you find yourself starting to guess - whooo I am guessing so and so might like this bit! it's fun!! I find it really fun to read what you’ve put in your vignettes – and I look forward to reading other’s fan fic- when I’ve finished walking through the episodes!!! For now.. this is my little teaser of fan fic and I am definitely developing a taste for it! anyway, enough rambling from me.. whoooo ouchie.. hope you left the dentist happy! I’m off to read Remembrance of things past vignettes and I’ll share a few thoughts as I go -Thanks again Morley!

Lol I could call my thoughts ‘coffee thoughts’ as I wake up.. and sip away while I enjoy your stories! Scotch thoughts- whooo a hamburger in front of him! whooooo! Nice touch!!! btw- I love that you have published this right when we are about to start on Over the Limit!! It makes total sense that pretending to be dead would cause Lee to reflect on his life. Me like! Oh cool.. hanging out at Amanda’s home opened his eyes to the home life! ‘What he hadn’t counted on was how incredibly comfortable and enjoyable it would be.’ – so in a way, hiding out at Amanda’s brought pretending to be dead Lee back to life?? whooo love how you incorporated Lee’s advice to Amanda that she remembered when she was crying! BB nailed that reveal to Amanda huh.. and you’ve nailed the description of it beautifully – Lee was nervous and relieved.. trying to remain attached.. and reassuring.. The embrace was a homecoming? whoooooo! love it!!! I’ve really enjoyed this scotch thoughts in particular Morley – lots going on for Lee here that is very deep.. Lovely job! Love how he took a bit of his hamburger and then wasn’t feeling so lonely anymore [ah! but does it have filler in it?? ] I think this is my fave scotch thoughts yet. Moving on to window reflections- lol this sharing thoughts thing is getting long. I touch type so it’s not a big deal for me.. but heck.. it could be annoying to have to read so much haaa! I’ll try and keep window reflections brief! I should have known Morley would write Amanda and her family having hamburgers (with no filler)! Good one!!! and Amanda had wine with it? cool!! Love how you link the stories like this! Awh!!! Amanda’s attached! I love how you’ve written Amanda as truly caring and valuing Lee the person – not just as a hot spy who felt really good to cuddle lol.. did I just write that?? well.. I’m sure she will be thinking that too one day – but it will be building on the caring and valuing bit tee hee Yeah! very interesting that Lee used the phrase ‘psychological barrier’! given he is full of them!! I like it! Amanda sees she has a contribution to make here... very cool! oh yeah! this is more than a lousy one nighter! whahahaah!! good one!!! Thanks Morley! a great way to start the day! now I’m off to get some work done! byeeee!!

This is one of my favorite episodes, Morley, so I really enjoyed these reflections. Note: One of my favorite and memorable conversations from SMK is "if you could just get over the psychological barrier...now, where do you want me to put my things." "Guatemala."

Debilyn, I think it would be fun to include screen caps from each episode and illustrate the stories. Maybe I should put them into a blog so I can do that. Maybe I will do that when I am done writing them. Right now I have been working hard to get the BAI stories right. It has taken us long hours of in depth discussion and late night revisions to get them to be something we think is good. Oh what fun!
Iwsod, Coffee Thoughts is perfect. And I do find your specific comments encouraging. I feel like I am sitting down with a cup of coffee right next to you!
