Hi, Queen. I'm glad you're excited to know about Sonja's past, of course, I've been doing little pieces of her past but they will all create a big puzzle soon. I'll try not to get you sick to your stomach when it happens! 

Man, I'm finna be honest, I've been doing a lot of character analysis on Michael in general. I have like a google document where I write down traits, tidbits, and quips that I see Michael do in concerts, interviews, vlogs, etc, along with how he acts around people generally. My interpretation of him is that he's really tender-hearted and playful, from what I've gathered at least. If I make any other MJ stories on this site, this might be my most In-Character Michael out of any other future works idk. I sure he hope he doesn't annoy you but we'll see!

Lmao, I had long fake nails too (I wore them mostly because my nail is naturally weak) but I had to stop wearing them when I started playing the piano.

Aw, is that so? That's so cute!! I think Carter is such a nice last name. Sonja Carter sounds like a very expensive watch or drink to me. Thank you for liking her character! They don't always stay in the personalities but for the most part they fit their tropes. Yes there was a lot of feelings in that first introduction and I'm super happy you feel this way about my fanfic! Thank you for your support!

Thank youuuu! I love you so much for this! It will be way more cuter and romantic as time comes! I have a really good chap between them that's super cute to me but it's not ready yet lol. Yes, Michael will help her with her emotions but I think she will help him more than he does. (Hint, hint: dah summary!!!) Alieu wasn't very good at his helping mechanisms for her troubles. But he did care for her, that did help her a good chunk enough! He will be back for one more chapter and then we won't see him for a bit! The next chapter we see him in.. Well it's up to y'all to decide how you feel about what he says to Sonja then.

I'm crying? hdfklasalka This seriously does mean a lot, what you've said. Suffering from my own problems like school and etc, just stuff like this really means a lot. Sometimes people don't realize how life-changing their comments can be.. I just feel really good right now, though. Thank you, Brandy. For everything.

Pertaining the chapter.. Yeah, the chapter was dark. This story is very dark, to be honest. Some content breaches people's moral compass and a few points will be detailed heavily. I think I've done a lot of telling and not enough showing. That table will flip later in the story, but I won't be so explicit it has people go into a mental breakdown or whatever. I know some heavy topics don't need to be thoroughly detailed. Sonja's past is very bad. Honestly considering what she did, it shouldn't be too bad but the punishment she got was what ruined her. Not to spoil but the whole change in her life started when she was 16.. Sonja is 23. That means that her past has been haunting her for at least eight/seven years. It's only through some help through others that she is where she is today. Otherwise, she'd be more than closed off. It's not pretty but theories are always welcomed on what it is! Don't think too hard because it might be a while till we really get into the meat of it.

This grasp of Sonja's character makes me happy. Means that I'm doing everything right in order for people to interpret properly. Michael's existence in her life has so many meanings. It's overwhelming but as time goes on she'll be able to look at their relationship through proper lenses. She just needs to try and for once in her life, she is. Thank you for loving it, it means so so much. Thank you for your review, as always. I will always appreciate it. Trust me on that.

(The vibrator scene was much more thourough and ridiculous, but I felt as if we were losing track and beating on a dead horse. I'm glad that revised version was able to make you laugh, though!)

Thank you!

To me, people like you are iconic. I'm very honored to have someone like you (who has been with MJFiction, for quite a while, and thus seasoned and knowledgeable about it all) reading my work. It means a whole lot! I've seen you've updated a lot of your works, and the one I'm reading I have yet to catch up on because school is currently giving me the strap but I will soon though! Your characters are great, they are all different, diverse, and beautiful. Michael Jackson, who? I don't know him! Those ladies are the real MVPs. We support beautiful women written by a great author!

*Pterodactyl screech* Where do I begin? Oh wait, I know! Thank you so much for reading! I will probably always say that because I am always grateful. Support is one of the best ways for someone to progress and progress I shall! This chapter came by quite quick, 8k words? not the biggest number by a long shot but how I pulled that off in a week with work and everything. It's a miracle! You seriously had me smiling with this review but I was a bit shocked because I was like damn a review already? I don't deserve that type of appreciation.

Where have I been hiding this creativity? Kek, nowhere really! I do have other sites where I write work for them too but the fandom is entirely different and whatnot. Though, a lot of my work is hidden and never sees the light of day. What can I say? I'm a lazy bitch who drinks lazy bitch juice.

It's really sweet and astounding that the few works I do publish do garner attention. I'm in awe forever!

I'm glad I could crack you up a bit! Mavis  (Yes, that is her name!) is a very eccentric person. Is it because of no supervision? No one really knows, she's just a very gay and very annoying nigresses. In fact, so annoying Sonja smacks her with a hot curling iron. Her anger knows no bounds, especially with this one.

I actually based Shirley on someone I know, but oddly enough their name is not Shirley. The Shirley I know is very laid-back and has a personality very similar to Sonja's. FASW Shirley has a little tolerance for people like Sonja and Mavis. I still don't know why she keeps her job at the salon, but each time they harass her she questions the credibility of everyone else that failed to defend her. It's very funny to watch.

I'm very glad these personalities did not clash! It makes it so easier to do dialogue because then people are like 'Oh, yeah only Mavis would reply like that, etc, etc, etc.' Without having to explicitly say it.

With Lala's Cane.. I gotta be honest, I actually went to a club last week and was like 'Yeah lemme get this imagery down'. I tried not to detail every little thing. Not all the time does everything have to have the big picture, aha. The fact that I was on point, in your humble opinion, is exactly what I hoped for.

Alieu and Sonja? Yes, we sort of support... (I shouldn't be admitting this, this is a Sonja/MJ fanfic!! Geez!) They've known each other for a while and they never really got tired of one another. The healthiest FWB couple that I know, but if they were dating, dating... it'd be too sexy... someone will get pregnant... too much sex...

I wonder why they haven't crossed that line though? Hm.

Anywho, Alieu is a very funny man, who can cook, listen, and support you. Since he's not dating anyone, and since Sonja isn't the jealous type, I'm perfectly fine with giving Alli to you! He's a sleeping beauty type, though. Not everyone likes a man that snores, ukwim?

Yes, Michael popping up was almost like on cue. Sonja and Alieu, as hot as they are we probably will never get to see their shenanigans on screen like that ever again. Michael won't be to blame fully on that, though. Please cut him some slack! He really thought long and hard about coming over to her place, he even brought a gift as an apology! Just cut like a smidgen, however, because he still came over so damn late in the night tryna talk to her. Who does that? Only weirdos.

Yeah, Sonja doesn't see Michael as anything but a celebrity that thinks she's funny. She refuses to see him anything less of that because something could go wrong! But, but, but... we can say for now that this attraction felt between them is definitely not on the same side of the spectrum and maybe not even with the same force. It's a bit one-sided now. Michael came back because... who knows? Sonja let him in her apartment because.... where else could he go, really? It'd also be so awkward for Alieu to come into her apartment and proceed to dick Sonja down while Michael watched afar from the couch like:

I’m glad my summary was shiny enough to catch your eyes, ahaha! My heart is swelling at this review, “New”?, “Creative”? Please you flatter me too much. Also yes, you’ll be getting to know Sonja thoroughly. She is the main character after all and well.... Michael sort of falls under deuteragonist.

She’s actually an OC of another big work that will soon become a comic but I wanted to implant her into this story and see if her character works on paper. I really took a leap with the start of the chapter, “I want a fucking blunt.”, Sonja... she’s too vulgar, smh. 

The vocab gotta be on point for the detail, this story is very discriptive. I didn’t go the route of purple prose galore because I felt that was too extra for this work but sometimes.. sometimes it will pop up!

Fate, she’s almost a character in this work. She’s also definitely not a nice person and not very nice to Sonja, to be honest. I don’t think she’s intending Michael and Sonja to have a romantic or platonic relationship. Well, that’s for me to know and for you to find out.
