Had to come back on to report that BA has just tweeted! Apologising for the silence and thanking people for the support. I'm not techie enough to link it on here, icemist perhaps you could help?

Onlygirljen · 05/01/2015 16:12

nickel no, he's definitely not a celeb! No more confessions here!!

Just completed and posted last chapter of involved. Feel like I've run a bloody marathon. Although I'm not as worn out as poor Molly....BlushBlush

Onlygirljen · 05/01/2015 16:14

firegirl just saw that. I really hope that's not in response to those ridiculous tweets from earlier today which really don't merit comment...

Nickel45 · 05/01/2015 16:14

cjwoof this was the Q&A from TG ...

Q....Why did they not kiss properly at restaurant or back at his?... why did he not speak when she said missed me at very end ? and why didn't Molly say she loved him , when he told her he loved her? Also did Lacey have a cold sore during Ep5? Is that why no kissing!!!
A....Your powers of detection would put Sherlock to shame!

I didn't interpret that to mean there was a cold sore, I took it to mean that TG didn't explain why there was no kiss! Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong? What do you reckon?

Nickel45 · 05/01/2015 16:17

Surely BA didn't tweet cos of that stupid tweet this morning. noooooooo .... What a numpty (now ducking for cover .... Love that he tweeted, but but bad timing!!!!,)

pixieg1rl · 05/01/2015 16:22

I agree Nickel. I think a few people on twitter are going to go batshit crazy now. Let's hope they don't drive him underground again.

firegirl · 05/01/2015 16:25

Yes I really hope that BAs tweet wasn't in response to those comments. He needs to come on here and see what we think instead!
As for the cold sore question, as far as I remember TG implied that whoever asked the question was right by saying their detective skills would put sherlock to shame or something, but he didn't confirm they were correct in their assumption as to why there was no kiss, if you see what I mean.

cjwoofwoof · 05/01/2015 16:34

Oops my mistake, obviously no firm evidence...and no cold sore either

Mega sorry for the silence. Can't thank you enough for the kind comments for old CptJ. Overwhelming. Bring back Two Section 2015? Sure.

OMG jen just had to have a quick skim of Chapter 10 before preparing tea. Absolutely fantastic finale, you rock!!! Loved it. Now THAT's an alternative OG which should be shown as 10 episodes on Sky Atlantic at 10pm, preferably after Game of Thrones and before Spartacus.

icemistOBE · 05/01/2015 16:43

I'm hoping that maybe his agent mentioned that it would be great if he tweeted something. I sincerely hope it's not in response to the tweets earlier.

firegirl · 05/01/2015 16:46

Sorry Nickel, hadn't realised I'd repeated what you'd just said re the q n a. This thread is so fast moving sometimes I find it impossible to keep up! Am hoping I'll be able to join in a bit more now that life is getting back to normal post the holidays! You are all incredibly talented and funny though. Have been checking in regularly even though I haven't contributed. And was nice to read a few pages back when one of you said you don't mind people going away and coming back again. I've never really gone away.

firegirl · 05/01/2015 16:47

And thanks icemist for putting BAs comments on here for us.

icemistOBE · 05/01/2015 16:50

I was reading chapter 10 of involved and missed the tweet! Thank you firegirl

OP posts:
Onlygirljen · 05/01/2015 17:04

cjwoof thanks! I aim to please!

Obviously if it was commissioned I would need to closely supervise the love scenes, just to make sure they were retaining the feel of the original work. I could even stand in if there were any more cold sores. Grin

Looking at all the twitter responses to BA tweet. I hope he doesn't have twitter notifications enabled, that's all I am saying...

Ilovelblue · 05/01/2015 17:08

First chance to check in properly though I've tried to read a few comments through the day.

Onlygirl every credit to you for using your writing when you have been through something so horrible. Years and years and years ago, I was involved with a married man - didn't know it at the time - and was shocked beyond belief when I discovered it. The signs had been there really; I guess I just chose to ignore them through what I believed to be love (but it wasn't, I could see that later). I'm glad you feel comfortable enough on this thread to talk about it. It is also true what Rhubarb said in that events in life make you a stronger person. Somebody once told me I was a strong person able to deal with "stuff", but I said life makes you that way. If you feel you've been sh*t on from a great height, you're less likely to let it happen again and it makes you tougher. That's my take on it anyway.

Just seen the BA tweet. Ditto to what you have all said: I hope he didn't feel forced into sending it because of some mad fan or other. I don't especially get Twitter as I have said before, but just because you are a celebrity, you don't have to pass on every trivial detail of your day, surely? I know the likes of Jason Manford and Stephen Fry do, but we've all got the feeling BA is quite a private person and he is entitled to a life away from the prying media surely.In his tweet though, he does say "Bring back Two Section 2015? Sure". That could mean just the young squaddies, not necessarily himself. Oh well, we will have to wait out!

Could one of you tweeters not get him on here though - that would be great! Clutching at straws again.

Looking forward to the Involved ff. That can be my treat tonight after tea. Feel too worn out after my first day back at work to do much else.

Also agree with everyone about a second series. If it does not contain both MD and CJ in a relationship, I am not really interested. I live in hope though that TG can sort it.

icemistOBE · 05/01/2015 17:12

''Could one of you tweeters not get him on here though - that would be great! Clutching at straws again.''

I've tweeted him link for here. Wonder if an email to his agency....
if we could collate questions (new ones obv) for Tony I'd tweet him and ask him to answer

OP posts:
Ilovelblue · 05/01/2015 17:32

icemist - I'd be up for thinking up some new questions if anyone else would as well?

icemistOBE · 05/01/2015 17:50

ilove i'm sure we could get 5-10 questions together

OP posts:
Nickel45 · 05/01/2015 18:06

I'm sure we could ... I'm guessing we aren't asking whether he would consider including naked fireside wrestling though? Sigh. Been a long day, I'll re-engage brain once kids have gone to bed!!

Richtea19 · 05/01/2015 18:06

Ah bless BA, poor love. I bet he felt he had to tweet. I just hoped he knows it not anything to do with this MN thread. I love him even more now! I can just imagine him....

onlygirljen I'm so excited about reading yiur next chapter I'm going to the loo for quiet. :)

elsie3g · 05/01/2015 18:14

Hi all, checking in. School tomorrow thank goodness. I almost sat down and cried in the middle of M&S whilst trying to buy some new white school shirts. Nagged to the point of no return by 3 little people!

Thanks onlygirljen for the final chapter of Involved, you didn't disappoint (a-hem)...I should really have left it until the kids were down though I'm sure they didn't notice the silly smirk on my face and the flush in my cheeks when innocently checking my phone!

Q&A - I'd like to know which scenes they used when screen testing BA & LT. (I'll think about some more).

Richtea19 · 05/01/2015 18:17

Also Ditto about second series. If it's not MD and CJ then I'm not bothered. Also now that they are together, aka ep5 all the excitement of will they won't they would have passed. A bit like in Cheers when Sam and Dianne got it together. I am more than happy with FF, just get a bit confused where I a with it. It forgot about the ball with geddings.

Richtea19 · 05/01/2015 19:04

onlygirljen your final chapter was amazing. I loved it! So glad I mananged to read it when I was alone..... Loved the bulge..... I'm all a bit hot and bothered now, good job DH isn't in as he might get a few ideas ;)

icemistOBE · 05/01/2015 19:36

I knew it!! the woman who posted this morning is totally taking credit for the tweet!
