    The Interview -III

     

     

    Previously

     

    Bette and Tina left the hotel suite as Pancha relaxed, took out a beer and turned on the TV.  There was an old rerun of ER and she watched it although she’d seen it a dozen times.  It was comforting to see something that you knew how it was going to come out.  She was very glad she was waiting until tomorrow for her interview because she was wrung out by this time.

    =====================================================

     

    The Interview – III

     

    The day after the interview with Bette and Tina

     

    Pancha thought it would be better to continue with the interview format and asked Christiane Amanpour to conduct this interview and ask follow-up questions as necessary.  Christiane took time out from being one of CNN’s best field reporters to be part of this dialog.

     

    Pancha:  How did you formulate these questions for me?

     

    Christiane:  I took the readers’ questions and tried to create a reasonable set of interview questions.  Isn’t that about what you did?

     

    Pancha:  Yes it was.

    —————————————————————————————–

      

    Christiane:  Let’s begin with one of the most frequent reactions to this story.  How do you respond to readers who were very upset by the lack of a happy ending in your story?

     

    Pancha:  I truly did not want anyone to be crushed by this, but I knew that this ending was going to hurt.

     

    Christiane:  Did you plan this kind of ending when you started the story?

     

    Pancha: No, not at all.  I thought I’d lead them to a happy ending.  But I did want B&T to express their anger and hurt, something we never saw on the TV show. 

     

    Christiane:  Why did you change your mind, then?

     

    Pancha:  As I had the characters express their pain, I began to get the feeling that they had hurt each other so grievously that they couldn’t repair the relationship.

     

    Christiane:  Did this make it easier or harder to finish the story?

     

    Pancha:  It made it much harder.  I actually stopped writing it and continued with the other story I was writing and then wrote a short Christmas story.  But I just couldn’t get this out of my head.  And I needed to write it.

    4. Wait a minute. You mean to tell us you never wrote ANYTHING prior to writing here? Holy shit. You could’ve fooled me. Anyway, I like how this ended with B&T spending a little time with Angie. And as for “Shoulda,” there are at least 2 scenes where you can elaborate for 302. There’s also the deleted scene (which was totally stupid to delete IMO as it was a nod toward the inspiration for your first “Shoulda”). Whatever you choose to run with, I’m sure it will be way better than anything IC and her posse have cooked up.

    5. I’m a silent reader and as long as I have been on this site I have never commented on anyone’s stories. Your story After Loving You has been my rock for these couple of weeks. Last nights episode killed me, but from the spoilers and your story, I knew it was coming. IC is destroying B&T and I’m going to have to send a search party to track her down!!!! Anyone intrested in joining???

    6. You never wrote anything before? I am just amazed. It is difficult to imagine that such talent can lie dormant and unknown and then something pricks it and it gushes forward. In this case the B&T characters, as specifically protrayed by the two actresses, served as the pin prick. Your entire story ending with this interview here was a “whole”, satisfying, complete experience. Many thanks. This show wouldn’t be half as enjoyable if the writing of authors such as you didn’t add to our imaginations and fill in the (vast) holes in the telling of the stor on the screen.I did not watch the show yesterday. I sat in front of the TV and couldn’t bring myself to switch it on. I read fanfic instead.

    7. Wow, for someone who’s never written anything before, you are quite the writer, Pancha. Ooohh, now you HAVE to make up for it and write some MORE! Do you, by any chance, have an S3 Ep2 Shoulda chapter up your sleeve somewhere?

    8. I know this was a hard story, both to write and read but you certainly gave us the “whys” of their breakup as opposed to what we are getting from the show. The interview was innovative and well done, but of course I’ve come to expect that from you. I look forward to your next story/stories.

    9. even after that i was waiting for B&T go home together and laugh at you that they deceived us all and there was no leah or kay (or whatever tina’s gf is) and they were happy together….anyway, you’re the master…and i still have faith in TiBette

    10. I don’t know if you put everyone mind at rest. I do know that I enjoyed all of it. Looking forward to more from you.Again thanks for you time in doing the story for us Thanks

    11. Even though I have basically gotten over the way the story ended, and I did enjoy the interview, I still sad. Your right, basically all of us B&T supporters hope for the happy, ever after with them, because if we lose hope then whats left. You say before this you never wrote anything, well damn maybe you should seriously think about it. In regards to the last episode, I felt as others did, Bette is so screwed up right now, and Tina is just not there for her, which is strange cos she always accused Bette of that. Not to mention all this other crap IC is adding to there already troubled realtionship. Men, cybersex, common, IC so needs to get real here. Anyway, Pancha you keep writing, and will keep reading.

    12. Quite a coup snagging Amanpour, Pancha. I ran into all kinds of celebrities in my NYC years, everone from DC mayor Marion Berry to Greta Garbo, but I don’t think most of them would give me the time of day! Amazed to hear you had not written before. Whatever you put out, I’ll read.

    13. That was awesome. U are one of my favs.please come back with more shoulda’s. Actually Bette “shoulda” knocked Tina up side the head, after this last show. Just kiddin.
