It's not Voldemort, it's Lucius. And he says that since you switched the grenade on Ari, you're partly responsible for the loss of his house. Now, could we go back to my story? |

Oh good, he has no chance then. Yes ma'am, back to the story! You're possesive about this one aren't you? anyway, the angst about Jimmy didn't last long did it? and that was the best thing about this 'story'. Unfortunately Hawkeye now knows he has a chance. I pity the real Hawkeye, they're aren't any NC-17 scenes coming up are there? Loved Erics guest appereance, Lupin next? And he still can't say Angey, aww poor Eric. *g* |

Yeah, I guess I kinda am. I don't know why...But I do know that if my review thread is going to go off-topic, I'd rather it do so AFTER I finish posting all my chapters. I feel that if you go too off-topic too soon in a review thread, it may prevent others from reviewing because they don't want to interrupt the conversation.
No, and there are more contrived angst situations coming up.
Thankfully, no. |

Yay! My cows have been immortalised! Geez, for being a hospital in the war they seem to have very few patients. What with one surgeon sitting by her brothers bed and another hugging her for hours. Very strange. His leg had to come off. I'm sure they've dealth with far more horrific wounds before?And It is supposed to be a surgeon, won't she have noticed the continued infection? |

I know. While Potter and the others were usually sympathetic, they would remind the doctors that there were others who need their attention. And Margaret would have no problem telling them to get working again.
Here's the thing: that's logical. Yes, a doctor would've noticed the continued infection. Yes, they've dealt with worse though the doctors always felt bad when they had to perform an amputation. However, as I pointed out, if he didn't have to lose it right away (since this was revealed once he was in recovery), he most likely would've been stabilized and sent to a real hospital in Tokyo. That would've been the best solution all around. |

Huh, that 'chapter' seems pretty pointless. It could all have been the start of a proper chapter. |

Lol! One paragraph! ONE paragraph! That's not a chapter. Sorry I missed the last update, I'll have to do two at once. *g* If ten beers is nothing to Hawkeye, how many does it take to make him drunk? and wouldn't Margaret have noticed the smell of booze and guessed what had happened. :rolleyes: I really hate logic holes. At least her brothers gone now! He's safe from the horrors of this story. And training for the olympics? Yeah right. That doesn't sound unrealistic. /sarcasm |

I know, one paragraph. And the two other reviewers told her her chapter length was fine. They must have short attention-spans.
Well, Hawkeye was boasting. He most likely wouldn't be rip-roaring drunk but somewhere past tipsy. Hawkeye does drink regularly--even has his own still in the Swamp--so there is a tolerance.
Well, as I said, if she's a Sue then she must have a Gary Stu for a brother! |

Gah! She's British! How dare she call herself that while writing this rubbish! Poor Hawkeye, she's admitted her feelings. Now there's going to be way too many fluffy wuffy scenes. *shudder* Bit of backround on Margerat and Charles please? Damn, Jimmys back. Cue the Stu. |

Absolutely: Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Loretta Swit): Is one of the original characters and the head nurse at MASH 4077th. She is an army brat--her dad was in the services too--so she's very proud to be in the army now and does her best to uphold the rules and regulations. In the early seasons, this often put her at odds against Hawkeye and Trapper John, both who were drafted and none too happy about it. She had an ally in their tentmate, Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville), whose strict adherence to the army rules matched his incomptency in the OR. Margaret and Frank also had a not-so-secret affair going on, despite the fact it was made clear many times over that Frank did not have the balls to leave his wife--who would also take the money if it came to a divorce. As the series progressed and after Frank left, Margaret became a bit more lenienent--though some of the nurses still complained. She still had her fights with Hawkeye, but you can tell they had a friendship (and some sexual tension). She also met and married Donald, another army officer, but that fell apart because they were never able to get together (it's been awhile since the Donald seasons have been aired, but I think he may have been cheating on her). Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers): Was part of the replacement cast and the new surgeon at MASH 4077th. But first: In the beginning, Henry Blake was the head of the 4077th, but the actor who played him decided to leave after about five seasons. So, for awhile, Frank was in charge of the unit until the army sent in Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) to take charge. Around the same time, Trapper John left and BJ Hunnicut arrived. Frank had hoped he would find an ally in the new surgeon. BJ, though, proved to be closer with Hawkeye. Faced with all this, Burns went crazy and ran away. He was later rehabilitated and sent back state-side. So, back to Charles. He is a member of prominent New England family and a world-class surgeon, quite the opposite of Burns. He ticked off a superior officer in Tokyo, so when Potter called for a replacement surgeon, Charles was sent. He believed it was only temporary and was horrorified to find out it was permanent. He also had to adjust to the "meatball" surgery needed on the front--he was used to operating one at a time and with all the time needed, not "get 'em in, patch 'em up, ship 'em out." He soon adapted. He didn't hate Hawkeye and BJ as Frank had, but he did find them below his station and a bit immature. However, he did seem to have a friendship with them and would argue/prank/snark right back at the twosome. While he had some airs, he would also be humble in some respects and willing to be one of the guys every now and again. |

Now I have an image of MAc sitting there rocking back and forth laughing like the Ronseal man (ahahahaha hahahahaha)
Totally not appropriate for a brother.
Mac likes to bite. It's the joke in the welcome forum.
The image I have is not the image that I should have. I have an image of Hawkeye actually leaning on Kate's lips.
No, I refues to believe that at all.
It also has no nasty side effects. Like Retcon. |

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: *Does a Mac and collapses into endless laughter* I love that bit! Hawkeyes not going to be happy when he survives though, what Suethor is going to just let the Hottie dies? So now we have Townsend, CLI and Cartoon. Will they never end!? This guy is unbelievable, what kind of person walks into a tent of probably armed men and starts slagging off one of their girlfriends? There's such a thing as too stupid, suethor. |

There must be a school somewhere where these authors go to learn how to create the most cartoonish and laughable bad guys ever. Though, honestly, I think it just comes from the lack of character development. There is hardly anything but the author's word to show two characters are in love, so if they bring in a rival, he has to be ridiculously evil to show he's all wrong.
Well, look at his company--Creepy Love Interest spoke about his plan to kill Melody and marry Rora so he could have sex with her every night in his empty office, with the door wide open so anyone could hear. Stuart Townsend admitted to being a serial killer on an opera stage! This just seems par for the course. |
