Haha if is after 4 am and I'm back reading! Michael's personality in this is incredibly sqewt! I love as a reader being shown the more human side of him! I absolutely adore the fact that the children play a role in this fiction too <3 most fictions don't depict them at all really so it's beautiful rhapsody you did. I can imagine those pouty little cheeks and big beautiful bright eyes! Bless her!
It seems to matter what capacit starr's hormones have completely taken over on feel like his security guard dropped a huge bomb to her with mentioning he's 'smitten'. I can see why she comes accross as stronf, iron willed but very delicate somehow! I love it I shall continue on! *Grabs my snack*

I've always been more interested in him as a human being than as a performer. I kind of embrace his flaws and issues too. And I always imagined that he was an amazing father . . . then when Paris confirmed it, it was awesome. I was like I KNEW it! Lol.
Thank you for that. Make sure you get your needed rest too :)

Oh my goodness!! I should be napping currently but I cannot get over this story haha my goodness!! Okay! FINALLYYYYYY this was the absolute break that she needed!! After being so abused, heart broken, torn apart, rejected, and embarrassed there is vindication on her side! Let me just say the way that you tied in their meeting with her ability to paint (I've noticed those with broken pasts have hidden talents) opening up such a prestigious lifestyle for her! I've even heard of Jackson meeting those who were incredibly exceptional at art; this was absolutely superb!!
Im excited 5 chapters in and we are getting to be introduced to Michael here, I love how you've conveyed him very warm, tender already so welcoming! I loved her irrational thinking from pure shock and elation whe meeting him and asking herself does he like her already simply because of his style shift! Okay! I love this! I must break to sleep! (If I can lmao)
Author's Response:
Thank you! I always imagined that he would be really warm and kind to anyone who admires him. She has such an obvious crush, and at this point he just thinks it's sweet. He did have a great appreciation for art, and a genuine love for his fans. Thank you so much for taking the time to read her story. I think that might have scared some people away, lol. And these reviews make me so happy, I can't even tell you <3

My god that was one hell of an event! I'm actually excited to see where it goes since she's lost her mind and blew up her car. Here's the thing, I understand her. In some twisted sense of reality she's got to take responsibility for her actions but she's actually done pretty well and yet again despite her accomplishments she being shunned by family. Turning to drugs was the only thing left and death probably didn't seem that half bad of an idea.
as a Christian this was SUCH an amazingly interesting take on how pastor as i dare boldly say will take scriptures and pin them to people like Michael Jackson and twist who he was into such an unworthy sinful human being;he was was far from it. I've witnessed this very thing especially when they verbally cast the first stone yet your (the pastor) taking the last of worshippers funds and are driving up to church in a car your fellow man could only dream of!! I love this story to pieces!! In so glad I found this story!!!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I can be a bit intense, lol! The sermon, I really can't take too much credit for. Most of the wording came from a YouTube video, and believe it or not, it was a REAL sermon! Some pastor, from some sect somewhere ACTUALLY said all that. It's insane! It's also where I got my pen name from. If you're curious, you can YouTube 'Michael Jackson corybante' and it should come up.
Starr struggles with spirituality, like I think most people do. Deep down, she believes in God and Jesus, but she hasn't seen the real beauty and magic of life yet. But she will ;)
[Report This]Date: Jan 30, 2016 08:19 am Title: Chapter 4 - Shattered
Allow me to use a bit of profanity on this review.....f..ck was not expecting that onset at all!! Your descriptions yet again when it comes to intimacy, when it comes to his reaction; shy, disruptive and dismorphed view he had of himself but still despite insecurities gave in and still let loose. Had me reeling, there's something so captivating and sexy about this character when engaging in intimacy. There is something very Alpha female about the way she took control. Very elite in her behavior in handling him!
Arizona seems to work out extremely well for her! I'm surprised she's able to handle her addiction like she has without completely losing herself! Josh seems nice enough I love how this story just flows so beautifully! We're 4 chapters in and only a glimpse of Michael during this period and I'm still hooked! I love the technique of the backtrack it lets me know where this story ends up eventually heading and needless to say I'm excited haha
anyway off to read more!!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I used that flash foward because I didn't want the story to get too tedious, too much about her as it is. And I know most people reading fanfics are more interested in Michael, lol.
Addiction is sneaky. At first it tricks you into believing that you can handle yourself, until you find yourself doing things you never thought you would do and making excuses for it. Then one day you wake up and you don't even recognize yourself anymore :(
Thank you for liking my technique! I knew I needed to balance her character with Michael’s, so he had to come in sooner. I figured since it's a romantic mj fanfic, people are already going to know what happens between Michael and the original girl, so . . . You know. I shouldn't be too coy with my readers, they're too smart for that :)
Starr as an alpha female, you know it's funny, because she does take charge when it's necessary, but she is also very submissive with Michael (you'll see later on, Michael is the boss). But she figured that since the moment had started, it really needed to be finished, otherwise she could lose him completely. If things go wrong in this crucial event in their relationship, it could ruin everything, so she needed to take the risk and make that happen, because then maybe they can finally move forward. You'll see that in context later.
Thank you for picking up on all these details :)

Omg..... God I absolutely love her background!! You have this story rich with who she is, her addictions, her problems, the abuse she sustained. Her mother inflicting such abuse trying to keep her unhalthy, just there's a lot Amber had to digest! I'm in love with this story due to the realism of it all! I'm scared to binge read because I don't desire it to end!!
I have to say, I love the identifiable era of the earlier 90s when the hipster grunge era became a popular piece in schools and collages. Hits very very close to home honestly there a coziness when reading it. I feel like Amber is much more than a mere character. She's lived,you actually bring her to life. It's the skill every writer ties to encompass and you've got it!!
off to read more!

Oh my goodness okay *laughs* I realize I'm insufferably indecisive when it comes to which one of your stories I'm Fixated on but I am absolutely obsessed with your writing style, ability to paint such vividness. And honestly the ability to engross a reader without even Introducing Jackson into the piece! I am obsessively ingesting this! I love out main character here, she's incredibly realistic, her troubled home, her surrogent mother and father being her aunt and uncle trying to pick up the pieces from her irresponsible birth parents (apologies but that is how they came off to me!).
i am enjoying her love for Michael and the descriptions of the way he made her feel even as a young one, in regards to her crush and all the confusing emotions due to her own ignorance to sex and what not! I love it! Part of me feels as though you've delve a little into yourself for this character!
Moss, you've got a fan! I'm carrying on with a Dr. pepper and animal crackers! Charming and perfect meal to get engrossed in a great story with haha! In short, I love it!!!
Author's Response:
Oh my gosh, thank you! *turning red* I know the back story is a bit lengthy and I appreciate you taking the time.
Starr was raised by her grandmother and her grandmother's husband. She calls them 'mom' and 'dad'. The "aunts" are grandma's best friends, and they're just kind of, always around lol. I know it's confusing, lol. This story is definitely very personal.
Which is why I appreciate the attention and compliments SO much <3

These two are bipolar.
Michael thinks Starr left him? Lol. It would be fascinating to read this whole story from his perspective. They are both so delusional sometimes I think it would be a very different series of events.
Glad that he has been sober since her overdose incident, even if it was forced on him. Maybe her tactics werent so crazy after all. Extreme, yes buy he is extreme as well. Though he really does love her. They both need so much counseling. I'm glad they are getting married and staying together but they seriously need like 5 years of joint rehab.
Author's Response:
Lol! Bipolar yes.
I believe Michael was bipolar irl. It's a theory that I think might explain a lot. And he does have his own unique perception of things.
Starr is usually okay when she's with him. She stayed sober throughout her pregnancy and up until they fell apart, with the exception of serious injuries resulting in hospital supervised treatment. She loves him and he makes her happy, even though he drives her insane at the same time. That’s how love is sometimes, I guess :)
[Report This]Date: Dec 22, 2015 03:36 am Title: Chapter 36 - Untouchable
Well she's right about Michael pushing her away because he doesn't want to have to sober up. Because if they are both still using I don't see the point of being apart. It would make more sense if he was trying to stay clean and she couldn't. Or vice versa. But neither of them are good for each other or anyone if they don't get help. Especially Blanket. They need to think about him. And Michael needs to get the leeches out of his life.
I laughed at your description of Tom Measereau's "gorgeous topaz eyes" lol. Seriously? Can't say I've ever noticed but now I'm going to do a Google image search and check him out.
Author's Response:
Haha! I think I just made that up. I just think Tom is attractive and that it would be an ironic twist of fate for Starr to meet him that way.
Yeah, Michael and Starr are both so full of issues lol
