[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 214737"] Thank you [B]Silvie. [/B]You're so kind to say that I'm creative and that you like the story more than the Dallas TNT version. I appreciate the compliment. :) You know it's odd but writing for the Dallas TNT characters has made me like them more. So I don't think the problem with Dallas TNT was with the characters CC created. It was the pacing and plots that left something to be desired. I'm also glad to hear that you appreciate this little dream world right now when the situation in the real world is so crappy! Okay on to the next part. * Emma was sitting on her room, filing her nails while her parents were trying to get through to her and have a serious talk. But she did her best to block them out.
