    We share a commonality of spirit. It's not at all surprising. Thanks.

Well explained and defended, I love every bit of the write-ups. The Tres Amigas is to me, not only an entertainment, but it reveals hidden talents that were exposed
to the fullest. I, for one, prefer continuation of the of it, though it entails some time whose only gain is the impact it gives upon its readers. It should be more.
Each writer should deserve a rating of six stars. Intrigue? Maybe a sour grape!

    Welcome, I suppose some of the best writers in Fan-Story are intrigued (challenged). I think their talents are invaded. Don't you think so?

Well done on several levels. Enjoyable simply as pure entertainment, who doesn't want to listen in on some juicy gossip?
The exciting aspect of this is seeing this site used to full advantage. You took an idea and used the resources here to test it. I think you have received a clear picture of what you might expect as a response in the real world. That's a valuable bit of information as you move forward with this.
The idea of having three opinions instead of one made a great deal of difference to me. One of the questions considered was mine. It was a question I couldn't ask anyone I knew. Hearing good advice from different perspectives added to the impact considerable for me. Yes, it did help in a real way.
I love the format and the tone of this as well. The three strong personalities is very appealing and I think will play out well in a larger market as folks line up behind their favorite.
I'll miss this as an entertainment here, but of course you have to move forward with it. That's a lesson for us all as well. We all need to focus on what we are doing here and make it a point not to get bogged down in the pure fun of this and remember our real world goals.
I'm looking forward to this in its next phase. Best of luck with it. mikey

    Thanks for the stars, the participation and support. FS is the ideal venue to test new styles and different genres. Hopefully, this will get some interest and I look forward to the entire rejection process. Having said that, I like surprises and getting a home for a column of this type would be the ultimate.

Back in February I voiced my opinion that FS might not be the correct venue for an advice column. At least one of the triumvirate took offense. So be it. We all have opinions--and we're entitled to them.

That you have decided to discontinue brings me no pleasure.


Peace, Lee

The three or four of these I read and reviewed I enjoyed. This one, as a wrap, answered the question I was wondering: whether it was successful as a launch into the marketing end of your adventure.

I found only three nits. I was wondering what would happen if there had been four and I would have deducted a star. Conceivably all three could fall for the faults of one. Yes, I know the loss of a star wouldn't have been the end of the world.

as if I was lecturing. [See note below on Subjunctive mood: "Were" vs. "was".

Having unbiased opinions often helps a person [Opinions: (plural)and that requires "help"]

would then seem condescending as if I was lecturing. [...as if I WERE lecturing. "AS IF requires "WERE" since it isn't an actual fact.]

I think I'm gonna miss you ladies.

Adios Tres Amigas for a fun and entertaining 6 weekly columns. You have my praise for your efforts and really you have dealt with some real life problems and have answered with a great amount of wisdom. I do hope this will be picked up by some publication. My sincere regards to all three, Sunshine (my nickname)

I've enjoyed your column very much, ladies, and I think it will be a big hit if you can get it into a paper or magazine. Go for it! :)

I've been quite impressed with the friendly, logical, helpful, thoughtfully analyzed way all three of you have responded to a wide range of questions and wish you luck taking this to publishers so you can find a wider audience, and hopefully, some cash :-) You all made this most interesting in many ways, and while I was always entertained, I also always thought you were giving seriously helpful, thoughtful advice :-) Brooke
