From TRTM FANFIC HUB in response to author Cloud's book, The Fourth Life:
"...Your stories for Todd & Blair are in character, romantic, suspenseful, and absolutely riveting. Which is why people are upset, they practically consider this a continuation of canon, it's so good. What I think people forget, though, is that good soap is four things: adventure, romance, family, and tragedy.
Todd & Blair are a soap couple that are complicated even by usual soap standards. Give them a white-picket fence happy ever after with four kids, and a dog, and not only is the story over, but we'd complain because we wouldn't recognize them!
This is a soap. A never-ending story. Todd and Blair have a beautiful romance, they solve mysteries together and have adventures, they have a lively family...and they WILL endure tragedy.
Seriously, can you imagine soap without tragedy? It's like taking the fantasy out of a fairy-tale! What happened when they took love in the afternoon OUT of afternoons? Soaps starting dying! Soaps don't work without the four basic elements!
That's why I find it a little odd that some fans are trying to influence how much tragedy is in the story. This is Todd & Blair. The dark prince and she-wolf of Llanview. Remember them? They're dark. Even in their happy ever after. It's not stereotypical but it's them.
I appreciate Cloud's honesty and the fact that she KNOWS our characters.
Kay, stand by your vision. It's a strong one.
Sarah,
A fan that will continue reading regardless of what happens."
