Jo fanfic

[Muse of Fire]

Hello all... finally gotten up the nerve to post a piece of fan fiction. It's written from Jo's perspective - very quick one-shot piece.

It's here if you want to read it!

Nicely written, I enjoyed it; it's good to see a Jo fic too. Thanks for the link and for sharing.

[Muse of Fire]

Thanks for reading it!

I was watching the episode and suddenly felt so sorry for her - and voila...

Also I got into a conversation with someone who is writing a Troy/Azazeal fic, and we talked about Azazeal's ability to control through seduction.

Sterling work, Muse. I agree with orokiah, it's great to see fanfic that focuses on Jo. You're really succeeded in capturing her voice.

I'm a huge Jo fan, and that's one of the reasons I made her a major character in my own fanfic, the Virtual Third Season. I think that all the Azazeal fans who believe that he loved Cassie should take a long hard look at the way he treated Ms Watkins.

Why thank you kindly, Fenris! :-)

I'm behind on your Virtual Season (started reading it when I first discovered this site) - but will plan to catch up this Fall!

Muse - IT was great as I commented on the livejournal site.

Fenris, I believe he used both Cassie and Jo, but I still believe at the same time he loved Cassie. The 1st time he was with Jo I think he did it to hurt Cassie for saying she didnt want him anymore. It was actualyl a very human reaction, well human in a way that men react that is

Thanks Tina :-)

I think he seduced Jo the first time because he knew that she would be Cassie's support for going to get the abortion, and he hoped that if she was forced to do it on her own, she might not go through with it.

He also probably knew that Jo would come in handy later...

Troy/Azazeal?? That sounds like lots of fun.

One of the reasons I find Jo's seduction/control of Malachi so satisfying is the fact that it's an echo of what Azazeal did to her until she finally rebelled against it and he resorted to a more extreme means of controlling her - except that Jo, albeit Eeevil Jo, isn't the victim this time but the one firmly in charge (not that Malachi ever realises it).

Oh it is! I can't wait for her to write more! Here's her start (and she had only seen the first three eps of HEX when she wrote it):

Thanks for the link Muse - I don't have a LJ (yet ) so I might never have found it otherwise.

Off to have a read now... ;D

Muse of Fire--I know you posted this a while ago, but I just now read it. I liked it very much and I wanted to say so.

I found your use of first person to be very effective. It personalized things in a way that anyone who's even been slightly used by one they loved will relate. The role that denial played in Jo's ending up in that situation comes through loud and clear, too.

Great work! I just joined the Hexfic community at livejournal a few days ago, and I hope you have more stuff there.

[Muse of Fire]

Thank you so much for your kind words! :-) I'm glad you liked it. I started writing a few others, but never got them to a point where I felt comfortable "publishing". Maybe I'll try to rework them again...

Oh, I hope you do! Since Hex has been cancelled, I know that I'll be relying on fanfic for new stories so the more good ones out there by people who do more than just string some sentences together, the better. Tell me, do these other pieces also feature Jo?

Any way, I'm glad that you're still here and that you got this. I run a fanfic based forum in another fandom, so I know how satisfying and motivating getting feedback can be. Please keep us posted if you do more.
