Christiane: Why did you need to write it?
Pancha: First, I thought they should express their pain. I then came to wonder how I was going to deal with the TV breakup if that’s what IC had decided. For me, it’s easier to think that, if they break up which I don’t want, that they could be happy. That they are not destroyed by this.
Christiane: There are those who were not comforted by that thought.
Pancha: Oh, yes, I realize that. And I tried to warn them throughout the story and the author’s comments that it was heading this way. I hoped it would be less bitter if they were prepared.
Christiane: Was the ending in chapter 13 another warning? Did you plan that?
Pancha: I didn’t plan that because I had a shorter story in mind. I didn’t want to draw out the pain in a long story as is being done on the TV show. But when I realized that it was going to end with thirteen, I thought it was appropriate. So thirteen was a coincidence although Freud probably says there are no coincidences.
Christiane: Some readers may still feel confused about why they broke up.
Pancha: I do think Bette and Tina explained the reasons for their breakup in their interview as well as they understand it and I don’t really have anything to add to that. I will say this, though. People don’t always know everything that motivates them and they don’t always know what motivates others. I can’t tie it up in a neat, little package because life often is not like that.
Christiane: Why do you think that so many readers are so keenly interested to have this couple stay together?
Pancha: Well, first–I certainly can’t speak for all readers, but I do know some of the comments they have written and I know what I think. I, too, am a reader.
Christiane: So?
Pancha: I think we believe in Bette and Tina as a couple symbolic for us. That if they can be successful then there is a chance for us all. They represent forever and I think we all want foreverfor ourselves and the people we love.

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.
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???
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.
Pancha, I love your interview better than TiBette’s coz I still have faith for TiBette… even after watching ep2…
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?
(missed my Amen there) Cheers!
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.
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
give me hope please
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
Again, thank you!!
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.
This is good thank you!
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.
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.
