"I read Chapter 3, well done. I like the scene where John removes Cameron's chip, and he kinda feels bad about it. Gotta say I'm kinda disappointed that she already jumped through time. I've always felt that she was with John for a long time before she made that jump. She had a number of orders from John, that he wasn't able to give in this fan fiction. Of course, she could always have been lying when she said that the orders came from Future John. But I really thought that this story would explore John and Cameron's relationship in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I like this a lot. It'll be interesting to see what you do with this story now that Cameron is in 1999. Perhaps we'll be getting the story from Cameron's perspective. I look forward to it."

"Yes, I admit I rushed the time jump, but I did so for two reasons: one, future John has conflicting emotions for Cameron; if he allowed himself to develop feelings for her, it would be like cheating on Allison, in a way. Second, I disregarded the 'orders from John' plot device by giving Cameron free-will; her choosing to defend John, whether in the future or past, has far more relationship potential than if she were simply commanded to protect him.

By contrast, starting over the relationship with the young John gives me more freedom; no reservations on John's part, Allison-wise, and Cameron's already suppressed her desire to kill him; she got that out of the way with future John. So I essentially used the future as a simple backdrop with which to set up the 1999 scene, where I intend to let the characters truly develop unhindered.

And on a side note, I wanted to get Cameron into more combat situations where she wouldn't need to worry about being vaporized by a plasma bolt; in 1999, she can show off a bit more, since she has such an edge over the tech of that time... okay, out of space now!"

"Chapter six is up. I hope all three of my fans enjoy it (don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have you!)

"I like your approach to Jameron very much. Your John is more intellectual than in the show. In S1 we get some hints of this too. Unfortunately this was gone like many other stuff in S2."

Chapter 8 is up.

"It's a fairly brisk read; about 40000 words. The plot moves along quite quickly as well, since I never intended to make a really long story. My take on Jameron is subtly tempered, but yet not completely devoid of romantic elements; and if you don't like Jameron, there's still plenty of action. And yes, Sarah gets the shotgun out. "

"I make my Cameron like John Henry right after she's reprogrammed; she then develops more of a personality as time goes on. Ultimately, I still make most of her behavior emulative, though I do leave a bit of mystery. "
