Subject: Still Retired? Yeah!

Hey there readers,

Wow, I've been retired, what?  A week?  The response from ALL of you has
been so great and so generous that I don't even know how to start to thank
you.  The MOST common question coming from everyone is will I write again,
either for the series or maybe a new story.  Uhm, that's a tough one.  I
mean I've been gone a week or so and that itch is still SO STRONG, but I
have to realize that I don't have the time as it is and I have to keep my
focus on a lot of things.  But since my passion is writing and I know that's
what I'm going to be doing for a living, I think I should probably keep that
fire alive and white hot inside of me.

Anyway, I know I said I'd be leaving Nifty and what not, and I'm pretty much
to or past that point.  Still I LOVE writing and don't want to lose what I
have had with these series.  Well the point of this letter is to keep a lot
of my readers happy and to please myself by continuing to write for people
that have definetely made two years of my life so wonderful.  So I'm asking
my readers (if you're still there) to make a vote for me.  It'll be quick
and simple and all you have to do is flood my mailbox!  HA HA!  No really,
you egt one vote and it'll help me decide what to do.  Here are your
options:


1. I'll write a one-shot about a reunion three years after the end of 'Just
Beginning'.  It'll be sort of like what they do with the Real World,
reuniting everyone and see what happens three years in the future.  [My
personal fave, but I'm not trying to sway vote.  Still, it'd be cool huh?]

2. I'll write three 'What If Stories' that revolve around important
storylines in the series.  It'll be a change of circumstances that will
change what happened in the actual storyline.

3. I can TRY to start a new series, but again, this series will revolve
mostly around Brian and Justin, but it will definetely focus on the others
too and what actually happens after the marriage of AJ and Amanda.

4. I can STAY retired and let things die out as they did with a classic
happily ever after ending.

5. I can return to my old days (for those of you who don't know, I didn't
always write romantic stories) and write a one-shot sex-story.  Just for all
you horny kids out there!

All you have to do is write to: catsfan1@hotmail.com  And then put in for
which one you want.  The vote ends either Tuesday or Wednesday, so don't
hesitate to vote.  You only get one vote, but keep in mind that if you vote
for #3, you won't get that many updates because of my hectic schedule now.

Thanks and much love,
JM

P.S. Don't think I'm a hipocrit because I'm offering to write again because
then you'll just be a hater.  I'm doing this purely for the many eraders
that requested this and for my own pleasure.
