If your other stuff is usually an 8 or 9 out of 10, this is an 11. A masterpiece. Glorious. Worth every month of waiting!

Great story. I'm flattered that you could use one of my "devices" in your work. Feel free to borrow anytime.

Well done
 

As always great works. You worked in my suggestion flawlessly.

Can't wait for your next installment

So I've been struggling with whether to pen any additional Danielle Parnell tales both because the theme may have run its course and because it's getting tougher for me to come with ideas. The few I'm considering are:

1. The Halftime Show -- Danielle shows up at her youngest daughter's championship soccer game and, as she has during the entire season, uses her special "charms" to convince the coach to give her daughter more playing time. Fed up with her nonsense as well as her constant put downs and eye rolls, and after our heroine ends up splashed with Gatorade by a mis-kicked ball, the other mothers take matters -- and Danielle's clothes and dignity -- into their own hands.

2. Auto Eroticism -- As the very elegant Annapolis Classic Auto Show approaches, Danielle uses her powers of persuasion to convince Adam Hess' father -- a very wealthy collector who has traditionally had his daughter-in-law, Rebecca Ross to show his classic cars in the show -- to have Danielle act as this year's presenter. She plans to show his prize car -- 1 1933 Duesenberg SJ Riviera Phaeton -- in a very elegant but very sexy period gown while her son Will and law partner Jerry Sarano play the roles of butler and chauffeur respectively. After giving her husband the what for, Rebecca Ross goes to work to ensure that Danielle's presentation will never be forgotten.

2. The Unveiling -- Danielle has typically cajoled her way to being asked to unveil a sculpture donated by a Gonzaga alumnus. The unveiling is scheduled to take place on the green in front of the school's administration building which will be its permanent home. In classic fashion, Mrs. Parnell makes the lives of the Mothers' Guild members a living hell leading up to the big event but when the time comes for her to carry out her duties she is nowhere to be found. After a smiling Nicole Silver steps in we see what really gets unveiled . . .

Also up for other suggestions although I can't make any promises about working all or any of them in. Likewise ready to accept the consensus that this character has run her course. Kicking around a new target -- one Larissa Burgess -- but she isn't yet fully formed in my mind so we'll see where that goes.

Your stories are great.
My vote either 1 or 2 or both

I love your stories, and always look forward to more. Option 1 sounds promising to me.

Great to hear you're considering another story. I like the scenario in option 2 "Auto-eroticism". Lots of possibilities with hems caught in car doors, rotating displays, rapidly opening hood ornaments snagging on material (vis-a-vis the movie "Used Cars"). Whichever you decide upon, I anxiously await.

Nice to see you back. While "Auto Eroticism" is a pretty great title, I might be leaning towards 1. Interested in any of them really, though.

I like the auto-eroticism idea too. Classic clothes such as hats, gloves, corsets, bloomers, and stockings would be great. Keep up the wonderful work!

All 3 sound great, but my order of preference is 3, 1, then 2
