I just finished "First Case". The mask over the gag and the hands-in-pockets disguise was pretty clever, the permission slip to be kidnapped was just too funny. Very Happy

Valkyrie, you are hereby appointed as an honorary member of the Bluegag society.

I'm glad that you enjoyed my first two stories. One must always be a romantic at heart, and teachers always need permission slips to go on field trips!

That Calvin sure comes in handy in a tight bind.

I agree with Mr. M that the code must be a locker, but what could be in it if it is?... Perhaps the screaming banshee?

Looks like the membership into the Bluegag Society is growing... Very Happy

Thats right on both counts. It is a mysterious locker, and the membership in the Society is up to five, excluding the Jeppersons et. al.! Ashley, Deanna, Cathy, Valkyrie and me!

There's room for more, just ask! Very Happy

Your quite welcome, Dave... and thank you for finishing it! Very Happy

Calvin as a human being is something I'm not sure I can get used to, I loved him as a roaming spirit causing all sorts of mayhem and mischief (your climatic scene with Jackson was captivating with the ghosts pestering him).

I wonder, will we see another story featuring Mandy, Cindy, and Ashley (with Calvin in tow, I imagine), or will there be a return of the Jepperson sisters?

Either way, I am looking forward to your next adventure! Very Happy

Ashley and Mr. M

I just didn't have the heart, after all of the good things Calvin did for Mandy, to leave him as a ghoulish figure. That doesn't mean, that if he wanted to, Tabitha could turn him back if he misbehaved.

Ashley, I am not sure at this point if there is going to be another story any time soon. I just haven't been inspired with any cleaver plots involving either of the series. I will however continue to enjoy your stories, and of cours, the same goes for you my prolific Mr. M.

Some fellows tried to bury a David Ortez jersey to jinx the Red Sox, maybe there are other jerseys of American League teams there?? Rolling Eyes

What a sweet ending, Bluegag! Calvin as a human again was such a charming way to finish your latest, and with Mandy of all people! Truly brought a smile to my face.

And I agree with Ashley, convincing Jackson to turn himself in was done brilliantly. Well done!

Oh, what does it take/involve/cost to join the Bluegag Society? Do I get perks? A Stacey plushie doll? A cool hat? Very Happy


(I'll also have that Stacey reflection bit up soon, I've been ridiculously busy and it takes awhile to rattle the mind enough. Plus I want to go back and re-read a bit of it, to get my bearings again - so yeah, I'm sorry!)

Thanks again for the wonderful comments. Unfortunately, there aren't any perks except that this is such an exclusive society, some of its members don't even know it. Ha!

Take your time with the Stacy comments. I am not going anywhere, just awaiting another revelation, inspiration, something, that will spark another adventure. I also need to gain some time to read your stories, so I can do the same for you. And I don't mind if you call me Dave. It's OK.

You got it, Dave. Since I'll have time tomorrow, I'll do it then. I'm just a very busy/lazy person Embarassed

Edit: Okay, I've got a few hours to myself, so I looked over the cases again. Stacy's exploits are fresh in my mind, so here we go.

I love the dynamic relationship between Stacy and her mom, first off. The idea of a retired girl detective dealing with her daughter's budding sleuthing career is a really clever one, and I'm kicking myself in the shin that I didn't think of it first! It's that loving/clashing relationship between them that really adds charm to your works, and they really sell the stories. Plus, Stacy's such a likable character - she's got a knack for girl-detectivin', yet she's also wary of how her mom might feel towards it, knowing full well that it makes her worry. Really nice touches!

As for your stories, I love how you mix third-person narratives with first-person. Not only are we allowed glimpses into Stacy's head and thoughts, but you're also able to craft "Meanwhile..." situations that give us much more depth into the overall picture, showing us what Stacy's friends are doing, what the villains are doing, etc. It makes for a much more engrossing narrative overall, and it gives you a lot more room to play with what's going on. That's always fun Very Happy

Your stories also keep me guessing! There are points where I stop reading to try and figure out your clues, or what's going to happen next. Specifically, The Waitress. Excellent clue-dropping keeps your reader guessing, and that's always yummy.

Phew. Hope that was okay! Smile

That's more than OK. I thank you so very much for the constructive comments. It may surprize you to know that I did the least about the planning for The Waitress, yet that seems to be my most popular story. I'm glad that my mother/daughter relationship seems real to you. I struggled with the idea if that was an important element to the character development. I am also worried that I give away too much with some of the clues, but I am glad to hear that you like to puzzle them out and that they may not be too obvious. It was hard to plan realistic twists for some of these tales. I am also happy that you find them interesting. Thank you!
