My bad
My bad. I won't lie, I goofed around and got behind on this chapter. Sorry its late.
quidquid sum ego, et omnia mea semper; Ego me.
alecia Snowfall
Oh hell...
Snowfall, ya got it out. Late, early or on time don't matter. The fact that we got another fix of our favorite DJ is all that counts.
You just keep on writing and I'll keep on reading, you're doing a real good job.

I Think We'll All Forgive You
I really enjoyed seeing those thugs about to get their come-uppance, and Dawn getting apologies, whether for imaginary offences or not.
Still, don't be late again. We know where you live. :-))
It didn't help that you had a
It didn't help that you had a gnat pestering you while you were trying to write...Sorry about that!
Thanks for posting it so late, you didn't have to do that but it shows how great of a person you are for doing so. Thank you.
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
You posted it early!
For Saturday, that is. LOL
You just forgot to include a warning for needing a box of tissues with this chapter.
True ! ☺

Get to the end of the series, the better the writing gets so it doesn't matter about how late the chapter is posted.
That aside I have 2 questions, What do those prison terms mean for the Facility that Shaw is going to?
And how long are you leaving this story up for while you do what you need to do to get this story ready for sale?

Great Chapter!
Well, it looks as if all the birds are coming home to roost. I don't know why I didn't even think about steroids, steroid rage is a well-know side effect.
Okay, being eligible for parole in 15 years is too soon. I was hoping for 20-25 years before parole came up.
If Marty had played it right he could have owned that car lot. It would be a natural extension of his shop business. People, knowing that a great mechanic was standing behind the vehicles would be flocking to his door. But I don't know about the Vette. That's a high maintenance vehicle in every sense of the word. Plus, having been in a nasty car accident my first year of univ. (We were broadsided on my side by a full-size Dodge) tends to make me consider having a lot of steel around me as a major consideration when buying a car. I'm a bit surprised that Marty didn't get Dawn an M1-A1 Abrams to drive! ;-) "Traffic jam? Was that the bump I felt a little while ago?"
I was afraid this would be the last chapter, the way you were wrapping up all the loose threads. Funny about the candy striper gig. There is a long story involving the day I was near killed in that car accident and a girlfriend of mine that was one.

Finished
Nobody involved in the attack will be seeing the light of day anytime soon. They're done. With Dawn recovered, she'll even be back at KVTX in not too long at all. Hopefully Mrs. Daimler will finally get justice for what happened to her.
Scary to think that this story will be done in two weeks.
You weren't
late at all Lady Snow. it was right on time for what needed to be done. Besides I got to wake up to a beautiful new chapter about my favorite DJ, the Hostess with the Mosttess . You just write when you need to and I will wait until it is up to read it, after all YOU are ONE of the best writers here IMHO.

Very good excellent
Very good excellent
Thank you Snowfall,
I wouldn't care if I had to wait a week ,it would be worth it ,so we now know that you have three Aussies reading your stories and
loving them ----me, Joanne and DJ .I get to go first as the oldest :)
I'll Give Alison Precedence
As they say....Age Before Beauty! But she's beautiful as well.
Of corse it's late
I mean, Late is in the title.
Dawn
sweet chapter
Dawn really was extremely lucky in the damage that she suffered. and She is going to be alright.
All the morons that attacked her got their just desserts and looks like they are all going down for a long time.
Nice to see Angela in there and She really has changed and for the better,
Seems like there is going to be a few ripples that are spreading outwards from Dawn's request and the change in Tara,
I have a feeling the school is going to change for the better.
Hmmm and Casey Daniels still thinks he is the one who can do as he likes I have a feeling that prison is going to truly show him that he a nobody ,esp without the steroids to help hmm will his attorney claim the steroids are the issue?
I very much doubt it going to help in the least.

Phoning in a Song Request
It may be a little clichéd, but the song "I Will Survive" would be so appropriate on Lux's first day back at the radio station. Anybody else got a request for the Late Night Princess' first day back set list?

Hopefully, the statute of limitations has no run out on what Stillman did to the teacher Mrs. Daimler. That could hammer him with another few years. Looks like finally the entire school is being washed clean once and for all, not only for Dawn, but all the other students and the teachers, plus the Administration.
fabulous
I am a student of numbers and always look at kudos as an indicator of the strength of the story. I lament that more people don't take this small step to reward a job well done. Therefore, I can say without a doubt the 29% kudos from the current reader count says better than I can what a great story teller we are enjoying. I don't want this to end, but I gain solace knowing that Snowfall's next work will also be a masterpiece. Ask Marty, he'll tell you that certain cars are more valuable than others. This one is a Rolls Royce.
Additional penalties
This was definitely a criminal conspiracy. The RICO statutes most likely would apply. The government could seize everything owned by the conspirators and they would get additional time in prison. Hell would be unleashed. They truly deserve it. Just a thought. Carstow
Snowfall, the last chapter
Snowfall, the last chapter was so intense, I'm still so angry, I'm spitting nails.
It was worth the wait, great chapter !

Reruns of the Late Nite Princess
Jail or prison the scenery NEVER changes. Casey Daniels was responsible for Lux Noctis not being part of their reprieve from total freaking boredom as reruns were broadcast over the air.
Snowfall's last chapter was bloody gruesome. I almost commented his-her writing was more blood thirsty than mine. Then this one came along. I'm beginning to think someone is writing stories while PMS is visiting. Still excellent writing skills but I'll go back and read the earlier, softer, sweeter chapters to mellow out with Lux when Hell wasn't laid on her.
PS: I dropped in at 3AM and decided I better wait before I put anything to paper and ink.

Missed an obvious charge
I think the police would charge top line, Attempted capital murder or attempted first degree murder. Depending on jurisdiction that would be pretty close to LWOP.

lovely!
There is no way she can affort insurance on that car
A quick googling shows insuring a teenager is in the 3600 to 8000+ range. But for a Corvette(!) I don't even know who would insure her to be honest.
I am in my fifties and am currently paying about 2000 a year for an Elantra in a Mid-Atlantic state for me and my partner on the policy.

Hit the nail on the head.
Hit the nail on the head.
That's $70,000+ base cost plus cost of insurance for a year which has to be almost another $5,000 to $6,000(she gets a benefit as she isn't fully new, just young).for Dawn to drive it for a year. And she will drive it, it's now a huge statement. This will cause people to talk and it won't be pretty. The direct cost of settling with Dawn is small potatoes as word of mouth is going to cause him huge hits to his business. He will see thousands of dollars of potential business lost as word gets around that he was involved in the plot to kill Dawn whether he was directly involved or not. Marty went for his wallet without going for it.
Marty is trying to help Dawn directly with the car, what happens after that is pure vengeance from people who like Lux and Dawn the person. Guys like that car dealer needs a good reputation and public standing and word that he was involved will destroy it. At least I hope that happens, he deserves nothing less.
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
I guess
A Volvo XC90 T8 would cost even more than a vette and would be usable too.
The 'Vette can be resold of course
The Car Dealer...
definitely got off easier than he could have, but a 2017 Corvette Stingray was definitely a pretty big wallop to his wallet , but the least he deserved for his part in the conspiracy against Dawn . Teenage drivers aren't cheap to insure , so I would hate to see the bill for insuring a 2017 Corvette in Dawn's name at her age . I imagine they won't be too hard up for cash after Marty gets through with cleaning their clocks in civil court . It was also nice to see Angela find her purpose after struggling for so long . I think the new charges against Stillman and the rest of the wresting team for threatening to rape a fellow teacher, are going to dig their grave even deeper than it already is . This story is one of the true highlights of my week! I'm so looking forward to seeing another great chapter!
Should've asked for a good Sport Util
Say a RAV4, or something. Not splashy to say the least but far more useful if say when she needs to go to college and the like.
You weren't late!
You weren't late sending this in to BC, I just thought it was your turn to fill in for Lux at the Vortex while she was healing from the abuse earlier on that's all. I can't wait to read the next chapter, especially if it's half as exciting as this one was! Kudos!
Another great chapter
It was worth waiting for.
Wonder which anime Dawn will pick.

Tragedy = Realization
It's sad that it takes a tragedy for others to realize how terrible they've been to someone. That they let others run roughshod over everyone. That a teacher was allowed to have so much power over others. That drugs were being used and threats used to keep everyone quiet.
Those who attacked Dawn were past stupid, they were pathetic. They didn't realize the number of people who truly love her and her program. And that those same people would do whatever to protect her. They also didn't realize there were those who could help protect her but loved her show just as well; they found out though.
Those animals brought all the charges upon themselves. They are the ones who broke the law in so many ways. They were upset because Crockett never crawled into a corner and let their threats completely frighten her. They were mad because she stood up to them, them who believed they stood above everyone else.
Now all are going to experience another kind of life. A life which is going to teach all of them just how tough the world really is. That they aren't better than anyone else. That they shouldn't have messed with not only their favorite DJ, but a girl.
It shouldn't take a tragedy for everyone to realize that others should be treated as they them self want to be treated. Regardless of any physical differences.
Others have feelings too.
