Hey, Y'all! OK, after mucho bugging by Shawn, I'm finally stopping by to say hi and check out your board. For any of you who don't know me, I'm the infamous Gina (or Ms. G, Mrs. Shawn, or whatever else people call me). I've been out of the fanfic scene for awhile now, but at one time I was sort of the one-hit-wonder of PR fanfic, but hell, it got me a husband, so who cares!
I'm almost 36, live in Cleveland, OH, and I work at the Cleveland Clinic in the Hematology laboratory. My son is 10 and was responsible for getting me into PR in the first place. I tend to write and explore fandoms in cycles. I'll be really into one for awhile, then move on to another, but I never really abandon any of them. I'm about to start writing again, though not in PR land, and more than likely under an alter-ego penname. Shawn might tell some of you about it, but I'm generally keeping it all under wraps for now. Either way, I thought it'd be nice to come hang out with some other insane creative people while I get the fanfic juices flowing again.
Hope to hear from you all soon, Shawn says y'all are nuts. Oh, and BTW, Sweetheart, I wouldn't even consider trading you for Joe Jonas for one minute (but for a few hours, you ain't got a chance....) (I'll pay for that, but I couldn't resist!) Ciao!

Hey, Welcome to the board Gina! I'm thrilled to see you here.
Shawn would say we were nuts, wouldn't he? He helped make us that way. We were silly before he came, but he brought out the inner nut in all of us. LOL
Anyway, I'm Cathy or Cat. Can't wait to chat more with ya, and hope you enjoy the board as much as the rest of us.
~Cat~

Whoa, uh...PGW4ever (I won't use your real name, hee hee) If you think I'm the voice of reason, then you don't know me that well!! LOL! Ask Shawn about the conversation we had last night about me writing again. If I could have sounded more unreasonable and made less sense, I'd like to know how. Even I don't know what I was talking about. And I know he really enjoys being surrounded by women that smack him around, even if only in cyberspace!

Finally, we meet the ever infamous Gina! Hola! I'm Angel, and got dragged here because of Kim and Cat (Not really, I came willingly). I'm glad you've finally decided to join the board of craziness, although I'm one of the sane and normal ones. *winks*
Shawn doesn't mind us smacking him around via cyberspace, I don't think! We all have fun and now you can do it on here too! *grins*
I'd love to see you write. If it's anything like Shawn's writing, then egads! I'm definitely gonna have to hijack a semitruck full of ice, lol.
HAHAHAHA! I think that there are probably only a few females who wouldn't trade whoever they're with for a few hours with the Jonas Brothers, but they'd be insane to not do it for Joe Jonas! Have you gotten tickets yet to go to the concert tour? I know that I'm working out the kinks so I can go and I already know that Megs is going. *grins*

Actually, I did write a couple of times. My one-hit-wonder epic "Conflicts of Interest" is on ff.net under penname Grey17, and through it, I met Shawn. See everybody, to hell with anyone who says fanfic is a waste of time!! It's getting me married!

It's just we have LOTS of crazy people, not counting myself, that like to roam freely here. And Gina, I don't care that you used Joe Jonas as your icon! Please, because then that means that I get to look at him on here, too! *grins sheepishly* can you tell I'm addicted? hehehehehe. I mean, Cat and myself don't have PR ones....we both have Edward and/or Edward and Bella icons! You should read Twilight! It's awesome! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Don't worry about not using PR icons/banners, it's totally not a problem. They're pics meant to represent you and your interests, so by all means, use whatever you want, at any time. I'm obviously not using PR at the moment, as I'm totally obsessed with Robert Pattinson and his total sexiness, and the Twilight series, so that's what I've been using for a couple of weeks now.
hehehehehe. I mean, Cat and myself don't have PR ones....we both have Edward and/or Edward and Bella icons! You should read Twilight! It's awesome! I HIGHLY recommend it!
Sorry for going off topic in your intro thread Gina, but:
Angel, you are shameless aren't you?! LMAO You'll pimp the books to anyone. *hugs*

I already sent them to Shawn, and to my knowledge, he went and downloaded the necessary program to read them. If I can go and get AWESOME writers like Shawn and Gina to read the Twilight series, get them hooked, then have them read Breaking Dawn when it comes out, and then them get story ideas, then gosh darn it, I don't care! I'm GONNA pimp them out to every person possible! It's better than reading the bull sh** that people posts where they make it so Bella dies or never existed and then they meet Edward and then they get together with him. *shudders* It's just.......ick! And Gina, I'm sorry for going horribly off topic, my dear!

*snickers* Gina, I know you're as nuts as the rest of us....besides, you're the perfect compliment to Shawn *winks* And hey, while it hasn't gotten me to the marrying stage yet, Fanfiction helped me meet Chris Violette, twice, so hey, I'm all for it. And dang, you and Megs are going to be having some interesting conversations about Twillight and Jonas Brothers, aren't you? Can't wait till she gets back from her trip, she's going to be thrilled to meet ya.
Shawn and Chris are seriously getting out numbed on this board, aren't they? *cracks up*

Hi Gina! I'm Jena. Glad to see you aboard the craziness that is Perfect Chemistry. You don't know it, but I am a HUGE fan of your fic! It was the second fic that I have ever read about 2 1/2 years ago. I still read it every once in awhile. *yeah, once in awhile sounds less obsessive than once a week, yeah.* I even saved it on my hard drive. I've been patiently waiting for you to do another story ever since. I hate to hear that you won't be venturing into pr fics right now. Hopefully, we can convince you otherwise. If not now, eventually. Do you think you'll ever tell us the story of Shawn and Gina? I would LOVE to hear it! Maybe you can help others find their mate through fanfiction. Hope you have fun here! ;D

Hmmm...Ask Shawn. He's a much better storyteller that I am, so it would be much more amusing. If he doesn't answer, e-mail or IM me and I'll tell you, but I want to give him the opportunity first because some parts of our story would best come from him. Thanks for being a fan, and I;m not done with PR! I'm just not writing them right now. Unlike Shawn, I can't jump from fandom to fandom and story to story to story. I have to finish what I start, but I'm pretty excited about the one I started last night. It is the first significant piece of anthing I've written in almost 2 years. It feels good to be back. Hope to hear from everybody soon. And if you're lucky, Shawn will post some wedding pictures on his board. Keep after him!

Hey Gina *waves totally non-crazy* I'm only here for the food really, but I've yet to find it and I'm not allowed to cook the bunnies (not that I'd want to do that - they're too cute). So just in case you stumble over the buffet, please call me Oh, nearly forgot: I loved your story, too, and I'm fandom-cycling as well. PR has just recently come back on my radar after at least 6 months away from it. Nice to see I'm not the only one doing that.

Hope to hear from everybody soon. And if you're lucky, Shawn will post some wedding pictures on his board. Keep after him![/quote] Our story took a couple of years and wasn't all sunshine and roses, but it has a happy ending. For the most part I sent her some feedback on her story and we began going back and forth from there. There was some light flirting early on, but nothing over the top. That led to us talking on the phone and the chemistry was there in a snap. We were talking every single night and were the last voices either of us heard until morning. We had alot in common and plenty we didn't, but even the uneven stuff fit together at the end of the day. We didn't meet for a number of months for a number of reasons, mostly my own baggage, but finally we did. I've loved her nonstop since before I met her, and through a whole lot of non-fairytale like things and mistakes I made, thankfully her pateince and love for me got my act together and we got engaged. She's my best friend, my harshest critic, and my voice of reason. She's great in the sack and the reason I write as much romance as I do. She's the best mother and I love her and her son more than anything in the world. Now its true, we'd both give each other a freebie if she could sleep with Joe Jonas one night and I get Hayden Panetterie from Heroes. But outside of that we're pretty normal and cooky at times. I get on her nerves and she gets on mine. She thinks people shouldn't worship me and I feel the Church of Shawn or C.o.S isn't a bad idea at all. We watch cartoons in bed, debate politics, eat chocolate cake, argue over my sword collection and how Steven isn't old enough to own one yet even though I feel he is, and just have a good time. She knows all my interesting habits and I know her quirks. We have different beleifs here and there, but it works so well between us cause there's a wealth of respect. We're both only children so we value and need our alone time and we both get that. Our story did indeed begin with a mutual respect for each other's writing, turned into a amazing friendship, and soon marriage. The road hasn't been easy, but its the most worthwhile journey either of us have ever undertaken. Gina is an amazing woman. I am a very lucky man. A very God-like, omnipotent, viral, King of TK, shining example of the YChromosome lucky man! S

LMAO at Shawn's story. And going "awwwwww" at the same time. Your story is so sweet.
You're very lucky, the both of you, but I know you know that already. Thanks for sharing it with those of us who didn't know the whole story. Kim's right, you do give others hope.

Hey Gina! Liz here =) I'm also a newbie but I assure you, you'll love this place in a heartbeat. I am, in fact, another fan of your work. It's great to have you here, finally, Mrs. Shawn *grins* Angel has told me to check out the Jonas Brother and I promise I will very very soon. Maybe one of these days I will join the craziness too *looks at Angel*
And don't worry for not using PR avatar. Currently I'm proudly using my beloved Jensen Ackles's underwear avatar, LOL.
Umm, just did some googling and HELL, KEVIN AND JOE JONAS ARE HOT!!!!!
I'm done. lol.

Liz, a lot of their songs are up on youtube and they rock of course! *grins* You should definitely join all of us and become a Jonas Brother fan too! And you hadn't already seen pictures of them before? And hell yes, they're HOT! And Cat's right, you're not a newbie anymore. Although.......*rummages around for a bag of Oreos* want one?
Now if I could just get everyone that's on the board now addicted to Twilight, then I'd be a very happy camper! *grins maniacally*
AWWWWW, that is an awesome story, and it gives me hope, that's for sure. It's understandable and very normal that the two of you would clash over certain things, and you'll keep doing it no matter what. I hope you both have a great future together!

Hello there and welcome to the board! Lovely to finally meet you. I'm Meg and welcome to the board, and what Shawn says about us is not true. We are not crazy. We are simply over enthusiastic. Whatever else he said is a lie.
And Can I say that I love your icon? Jonas Brothers....*drools*. Have you seen their Rolling Stone Cover? Oh. My. God. I almost died.
Welcome!
