  thanks, I'll be sure to check out that site you mentioned!
  
  I have to say that your way of placing the chapters is quite unorthodox but I'm definitely growing to like it. It brings that extra feeling when you read the chapters with older events, a sort of nostalgia that is hard to create with words. and then these new chapters, I feel like I already know the story behind Victoria and Gerard even though I don't, but I can definitely feel the emotional depth and sense the past in thi chapter.
  I've always disliked flashbacks in fiction, but as I read this I realized that it wasn't flashbacks per se, but only when in the middle of a chaper there's a paragraph in italic that contains some seriously dramatic, two second scene from past life. and under the paragraph read *end of flashback*
  It gives me the creepy feeling that the character in fact stops and stares into nothingness for a moment while recalling this event. Very unrealistic...
  But this is great! This is awesome!
  I really, really like you now, hah!
  Envy you, too... :)
  
  Can't wait for the next one!

  Firstly, I am overjoyed to here that you are enjoying this, chapter by chapter. When I first started to continue this, it had been a one-shot for a good part of a year and I got tired of the "My Chemical Pretty Woman" stories that flooded the sites. I wanted to do something a little left-field. Seeing that strippers were getting very large play in the media and having their new-found celebrity, I wanted to tell it from that point of view. In a way, giving Victoria's career a little less Shadow than Gerard creating the band. I wanted her to be the focal point, I wanted her to have that superstar status.
  
  That's why I like telling two stories at the same time. It offers a lot more depth. Even though those portions of the story are set in the past, they are just as important as the chapters sent in present time. A lot of what happened effects her everyday present life. She feels as superior as the wealthy woman she comes in contact with because SHE used to be worshiped by their husbands half of the time. The past is just as important as the present in this story.
  
  Yeah,I'm not a huge fan of flashbacks or dreams the character has and down the road in the story it really happens. I'm a realist. Those things don't happen in reality as often as it's written.
  
  I should be rolling out a new chapter some time this afternoon! & I like you too! There's nothing to envy, seriously! Lol
  
  Thanks again,
