Consequences In Blue Notes

 

Consequences In Blue Notes was originally posted on the Blair Firsters Board between January 5 and January 10, 2002 and is still can be read there in a folder of the same name.  Consequences In Blue Notes was my first attempt at writing fan fiction and I was very nervous about posting the story.  From the beginning posters on the BF board, however, were warm, encouraging and supportive.  I appreciated their comments beyond measure at the time and the comments are just as precious to me now.  I wanted to preserve the comments so I have archived them on this page. 

Please note that the comments reveal plot twists and story elements, so if you have not read Consequences and would rather not know what happens, it might be best to wait to view this page until after you’ve finished the story.  On the other hand, the comments are arranged so that they are labeled by the chapters that the poster just finished reading. If you are in the course of reading Consequences and want to see what, if anything, other posters said about a particular chapter, you can look for the comments associated with that chapter number.

If you would like to make a comment about Consequences In Blue Notes, leave your message at the Key West Screened Porch in Tessarae Inn Annex.  I will periodically update this page with new comments as they become available.  –Tessarae87   7.4.02

 

CHAPTER 1 & 2

Go 23 1/5/02: So far it's great Tess. I especially liked when he joined


her in bed. The Crack Whore in me is hoping that she doesn't decide to leave because that's the impression that I'm getting. It's good that he's not trying to force her to forgive him. Although I adore Starr, I'm glad that Blair is putting her foot down and telling her that she needs to be alone. I liked that she didn't trash Todd to her.

 

Blainca 1/5/02: Three thumbs up!!!


This is real, blair putting her foot down...does blair even know what her feet look ike these days?

Great start Tess!!!

 

DD3189 1/10/02: Tess Tess Tess Let me introduce myself I am dd also known as


Zen Master Stalk of Fan Fiction....I am here to tell ya I love it. I see I have much to catch up on so you are safe for now from my stalking for more chaps....But beware as soon as I catch up I will be nagging. The way to avoid it is write alot and stay ahead of me.....Good work keep it going.

 

Tessarae87 1/10/02: Thanks again, Go and blainca. And dd...


I can’t tell you how honored I am to be a potential fan fiction stalking victim!! Luckily for me I posted the last chapter today! I feel almost legit. Thanks and I am really glad you are enjoying the story.

 

CHAPTER 5 & 6

Zzanee 1/5/02: Very Interesting beginning...


Blair on her own. The chapters about her pain had me close to tears. Because you know that pain is there. You can feel radiating from her sore and red. No quick fix.

I like the idea of Blair breaking free and finding her own life. But to leave her children? It will be interesting to see how you handle that.

If this is your first ff, it is very good.

 

Go23 1.5.02: I hope she doesn't stay away for too long. This was good


stuff.

 

Blainca 1.5.02: It seems to me Blair


Is a little lost...She seem sure of one thing that she is flying free...leaving her children leads me to think she is not in her right mind...all her life one wave after another...she needs to catch her breath sometime...

Great story Tess!!!

 

Blainca 1.5.02: I just re-read this


I have one question...

How come Blair never mentions the baby?

When she came down stairs she asked about Starr, as opposed to the children...

 

Joyce317 1.6.02: Re: Consequences in Blue Notes (Chap 5 &6)


You have been holding out of us. This is very good for your first attempt.

 

LadydayN 1.6.02: blainca I noticed that too.....


like she just can't deal with him right now. She's overwhelmed by emotions (very very sad ones) at this point and just can't deal. Actually she IS dealing in her own way. This is very interesting tess. I like it so far. And like zzanee, I almost had tears in my eyes when Blair was crying in bed thinking about all her pain, etc.
Keep on writing!

 

Tessarae87 1/6/02: THANK YOU!


Thank you for taking the time to tell me what you think about the story!!

I won’t lie—I was NERVOUS, especially since it was my first attempt. I really appreciate all of the feedback.

Zzanee and Ladyday, I can’t think of a better compliment than to hear someone say that something I wrote had them close to tears. Zzanne, I knew I was taking a risk when I had her leave the children but I wanted to really emphasize her devastation and desperation (I agree with you that there are a lot of dark elements to T&B). In my mind, she is fighting her way back from a very low point in her life and sometimes under those circumstances people feel they have to make selfish choices just to survive. I didn’t think about it at first but I guess the story is a quest story for Blair because for me the critical element of this “last baby lie” is whether and how Blair can find the key to forgiving Todd. Joyce, I am so glad that you found it interesting and, Go, don’t worry, it’s a journey but with an end in sight. Ladyday and blainca, thank you so much for your observations about Blair’s emotional state and Jack. That’s what I was going for and I’m so glad it came across.

 

CHAPTER 7 & 8

Zzanee 1.6.02: Like that Blair has found a friend.


It is nice to see Sheri reaching out to her. Wes and Sheri sound interesting. Sheri and Blair could form a broken-hearts clubs.

BTW, I also noticed Blair's disconnection from the baby but she seems disconnected from everything in her life. Poor Blair! She does need a friend and put herself back together. Cat Shaw is just another shield. Can she do this on her own?

And Maddog! How could you not love someone named Maddog?

 

LadydayN 1/6/02: ohhhh, she's still not acknowledging her son!


But I still am loving this story. Very Blairian!

 

Blainca 1.6.02: what a story!


She thinks she making progress...but she really is putting on a show that is draining her...

She thought about her mama...I guess that was another wave... Blair has got a whole lot of issues...

I Love this story Thanks Tess!

 

CHAPTER 11 & 12

 

LadydayN 1.8.02: Keep it coming Tess!


This is a very very good story. I am awaiting Blair's story. I wonder if she will ever remember her son?

 

CHAPTER 15 & 16

 

LadydayN 1.8.02: Damn girl, you are too good!


Omg, I love this! Blair singing with a rock star, being wanted by a rock star! And I love how she finally was able to think about Jack without pain. Love that it was with Travis that she first corrected herself "I have a daughter.... and a son".
But damn that Todd and his timing....couldn't he just wait until she came homeon her own terms, she was almost there too!

 

Blainca 1.8.02: Taking in deep breaths


WOW!!! Towards the end I was reading at world record speed!!!

LD covered all the bases But one HURRY!!!

WOW!!!

Joyce317 1.8.02: Re: Taking in deep breaths


I've said it before you have been holding out on us. This is so good. Loved the songs you used to show the depth of her despair, the healing she got from her music, the love and affection she gives and receives from the people of this little town.

I'll add my request also, HURRY!!!

 

Quen 1.9.02: I'm just now discovering this story!


And boy am I happy I did. Take a few days off from the internet world and you miss a lot.

This is a great story! I've read all the chapters in the last 40 minutes or so. Gotta say you've had me crying or near tears most of the way. Blair's pain is something else. Tugged at the heart strings. Just sad, but had a VERY realistic touch to it. I am SO happy she finally acknowledged that precious baby boy.

Like Blainca, I was "getting down" reading this last chapter. I knew it was only a matter of time before Todd showed up. Can't wait for the next installment.

 

Tessarae87 1.10.02: Thanks, Everyone!


I am SO glad you are enjoying the story. I posted the last chapters today—the big finish. I hope it works. If not there's always next time :-)

It is hard for me to describe how happy it makes me to know that people like the story. I was really hesitant to give fan fiction a try but I couldn’t get the story out of my head until I wrote it down. I guess something good did come out of my water line problems.

Thanks for all of the support.

 

CHAPTER 17 & 18

LadydayN 1.10.02: Go Emily!!!


And tess, I want to let you in on a little secret. I have been enjoying this story SO much, that um, cough, uhhhhhmmm, well you see, <come closer>.....I didn't even notice there was no smut until this last chapter! And even though it wasn't graphic smut, it was just FINE for me.

 

Go23 1.14.02: I loved when he gave her back her rings and she took them.


Sorry but I'm a TnB CW and despite what he's done to her, I can't help but want them back together.
