oh snap, I'm not sure I'm ok with this... I mean Sarah didn't check if any of Janey's story is really true. It can all be true, or Janey could be an evil genius for all we know.

That's really cool, Sky!! I draw on LOTS of personal experiences for my story too, except for the dodging bullets and bench-pressing buicks parts :D

Emi: Yeah me too. :) When I first wrote the script for part five I hadn't written much for Janey at all except for an odd mention now and then to remind everyone they were still friends as well as a few phonecalls. But then I really wanted to show Sarah had forgiven Janey and was able to put it behind her regardless of their future outcome and this holiday seemed perfect for that.

Kim: What really motivates me most in the writing is that Sarah represents me and therefore the real fun is how I personally relate to each situation or temptations she faces. Sometimes I can draw on my own experiences and relate exactly what happened but also it's great fun to imagine what might have happened if I'd made a different choice. And you're right in the respect that the characters tend to write their own parts as I've found them acting out scenes in my head at odd moments that are far ahead of what I'd originally planned, so often my original story changes or deviates to incorporate them. XD

DV: When I looked at the panel in it's original size it looked okay as you could tell it was two lines but the reduction made the lines look like dots. At first I wasn't sure whether to remove them or not but when I did it really did look much better anyway so I had no probs with you pointing it out. You've always been a very supportive reader so I always value your opinions and if it confused you it no doubt confused others too. XD

I'm not going to lie. I'm so glad my OTP is back together for such a brief moment!

KimLuster at 6:27PM, Oct. 19, 2014

Haha, well the very best characters take on wills of their own! It's almost like they're living their lives the way THEY choose to, and the poor Author is just sorta describing it as it happens :D I feel I could tell the direction you would've preferred these character take, but they chose otherwise, for better or worse...!

Always drama in Simply Sarah...even at sleep time!

Like said, there wasn't anything _wrong_ with those lines, as both Janey and Kirsty have them in the same panel, just looked weird at first (and there is nothing wrong with being weird, even have a fridge magnet that says "Being Weird Isn't Enough!" :D )

skyangel at 9:56AM, Oct. 19, 2014

Kim: Haha I loved that second comment of yours as it's sooo trueee! In all honesty I often wish Janey hadn't had the affair as it's pretty much put the nails in her coffin from that moment on, but without having made that decision I could see no real fun in writing a final chapter where the two were living a blissful existence, because to me that would have been the happy ending everyone wanted anyway. When I started thinking about the break-up I could instantly see how we could have so much fun with a new girl in Sarah's life as well as some unwanted admirers along the way, plus there has been the challenge of putting Janey on trial to see if the readers could ever forgive her for her crime and regardless of how this ends now it'll still have been a lot of fun along the way (for me at least!XD).

Tupa: Yeah nothing bad will happen.. if Janey does as she's told!;)

skyangel at 9:11AM, Oct. 19, 2014

Bear: I wasn't sure what had happened to you but I assumed you were probably just busy doing your own stuff. Hope you get well again though real soon and not in too much pain. *gives bearhug*

skyangel at 9:06AM, Oct. 19, 2014

DV: I realised what you meant when I relooked at the panel again. I've removed those lines and it does look much better. XD

tupapayon at 8:20AM, Oct. 19, 2014

Bear in mind... Bear hugs to u...(hope they won't hurt)...

DarkVisor at 2:48PM, Oct. 18, 2014

Yes Sarah, send Janey back, you got lucky once, don't push it! The art is wonderful, the eyebumps (the bump of the eyeball under the eyelid) in panel 2 looks weird on Sarah (not bad or wrong, just _weird_ until you realise she has her eyes closed and the dots between her eyebrows and eyelashes are not her pupils :P)

PBandJ at 2:46PM, Oct. 18, 2014

Not quite what I expected. :)

Phantomduck at 11:12AM, Oct. 18, 2014

Get well soon, bear.

bexlicious at 9:16AM, Oct. 18, 2014

I hope you start feeling better soon, Bear! I know the recovery is often tough and long but hang in there!

BearinOz at 2:01AM, Oct. 18, 2014

Ah! Human frailties. Love this page for depth of colour/content... I've been in hospital, again, so my own stuff's all fallen behind...so weak I can't even draw/paint. Be back soon,tho'

arici at 12:55AM, Oct. 18, 2014

Wow. I really like Janey, but her level of selfishness is over 9000. Send her back to her girlfriend, Sarah! Totally not worth it.

KimLuster at 8:23PM, Oct. 17, 2014

Story is great, though... Let it go where it's gonna go! Janey, like other great characters, has taken over her own direction. I bet she's does things that even you, as the writer, wishes she didn't haha.

KimLuster at 8:19PM, Oct. 17, 2014

Agree with FC, ya nailed those poses and stances - great foreshortening in panel 3! At this point I feel Janey's being a little... I dunno... if she's gonna keep pushing it this far, just tell Kirsty and be done with it! Not really fair to Sarah or Kirsty... And we all know where 'quick cuddles' lead!

fallopiancrusader at 7:57PM, Oct. 17, 2014

Great work on the figure drawing in the last four panels

tupapayon at 6:00PM, Oct. 17, 2014

Aww!... Sarah 's coming to her senses... Now nothing naughty is going to happen... >(... >D... Great page, Angelita, as always...
