This is way too good and far too familiar to be total fiction. Truth rings out throughout this brilliantly conceived and written tale of feminine caprice. I can easily envision the two licking their lips in their joyful evisceration of all those they are delightfully devouring. These women scare the heck out of me.

    Nomi, thank you for the six stars! This is just for fun, and I had no people in mind when I wrote it. Terry.

    Does not matter to me what your intentions were. This story is far to real to just be pure invention. I am willing to wager that there are some very real roots within the framework of this story. I am not making any accusations, so you do not need to worry.

So, I guess the goal is not to become stale and have people talk about you and think you should leave the site. I'll work on that.

The paragraph that begins, "You're right, I'm good at." Make it "good at it."

The funny thing is, I could almost name every reference you made - they exist here, as everyone knows. Except Texas Ellen; goodness, I hope she doesn't exist!

At first, I thought this was written for the Walmart contest since you talk about it. But it's just written for fun, and I appreciate that:-)

Glad to hear that Lee is still around; hope he's kicking ass with his writing somewhere.

    Pam, thank you for six stars! I did catch that edit, I am guessing you saw it earlier before it got corrected. This was just for fun. I do know there will be some news on Lee later this year. But we can't blame him for this satire. Terry.

This is an interesting fictional story. It is almost all dialogue except for the brief introduction. I like the tongue and cheek extremes these writers go to win. You could call this, inspired by true events.

Good stuff.

Gossip. Pure and simple. There must be a lot of readers who go in for this kind of thing but I read this simply for entertainment and found it needs to engage in purposeful dialogue instead of pure gossip between two writers.
But that is just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions, everyone has one.
Too bad the readership will eat this up.

    Jesse, thank you for your review. This is strictly some satire fun on my part. I didn't intend any harm or foul. Terry.

    Sorry. I didn't see it as satire.
    No worries.

This was hilarious from the first word to the last. The only thing I regretted about it was that you didn't put it in the 'six stars' contest. You can enter contests you have created you know, and I was very much looking forward to having given out 2x sixes for this (so far - maybe more will come) and having to tussle with who to vote for. You just took my fun for the day away! kay

    LOL, thanks for the six stars, Kay! I don't enter the contest I create. Somehow it doesn't seem right. I have given out some sixes too! I am glad you enjoyed the fun. Terry.

At three stars apiece, you and uh... Humpwhistle, that's only three apiece. (If there was a ten, I would award it) smiley face here Unless you can figure out how to give him three, I guess you get to keep them. (another smiley face here)
Well, since I haven't won very many contests, or received many accolades... and I love proximate to those in Texas... Hmmm.

You must be a kick in person, Terry Braxson. Your ability to chew into reality and leave your fictional sawdust behind always astounds me.

I enjoyed the read and pray your Ellen from Texas hasn't picked up any diseases along with her votes. :)

Best, JohnC

LOL. I hope they don't resemble anyone living or dead on FanStory. This is cute. We do get those who complain from time to time that the contests are rigged but I doubt if they rigged with free sex or old Avon samples.

I haven't the slightest idea where this story sprouted from but I can see how A, then B can win votes by the things they did and may still be doing.
I get the drift - "Dang, she was driven to win, no pun intended."

And now for a reality check. I dreamt this morning creating a contest in which NO ONE could promote their entry. No lucre offered. Everyone on equal footing for as now the winners win contest have coins to offer while schelps like me and others barely have coins to ripple the waters.
I suspect TOM would take umbrage to such a ruse, don't you. How else could he pay the bills, and by the way is TOM a guy. These days one must ask.

"Wilie, that's a technically. ...Pardon me, but did you mean technicality?

"You're right, I'm good at. (it)

I mention the above merely in case you were interested. In no way, did it interfere with my enjoyment of your story. Your humor is outstanding, and I chuckled from beginning to end. Bravo! Have a great day!

Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Carol, great catches on the edits. No matter how many times I read it, I just can't seem to get them all. Thanks for reading. Terry.
