Waiting... ;)

Hope you are well and working on getting your creative juices flowing. Already commented on the latest chapters and was re-reading them. This is such a great story and the directions it can go are endless. I truly hope you can eventually get back to it because that would be our gain. Anyways, take care, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Years to you and yours.

Another read through complete, still thoroughly entertained with this story. I hope to read more in the future.

Damn. Between the end of the last chapter and the beginning of this one it's clear that Sarah really, really enjoys sex. No wonder she had several relationships of convenience (sex) after being on set with so many gorgeous men. Sarah simply couldn't get enough sex to satisfy her. Not too many "people" could keep up with her sexual appetite (is Sarah bisexual?). But, she encourages Chuck to last longer, he was "great" but apparently was not the best. Sarah's words absolutely won't be a gremlin in Chuck's self-defeating mind when he surely replays every word Sarah said later so he can keep convincing himself he's not good enough for Sarah (sex freak) Walker.

And I don't get why Sarah tells Chuck that wishes she could take back her previous convenient sex relationships. She needs to own that shit...that's what she wanted at the time. Just someone to scratch an insatiable itch. Sarah was surprised that Chuck could go without sex for 5 years...she probably couldn't go 5 months without...lol.

Well, at least you have Sarah and Chuck being basically the same as in canon. Sarah is an actor and not a spy but her personality (action not words) and oversexed nature are the same. She's had a "number" of lovers to keep her sexually satisfied, but felt emotionally empty. Chuck is a successful businessman here, but still feels like a worthless loser because of mommy, daddy, and Jill...the only girlfriend/lover he ever had. Chuck can't ever measure up to the awesomeness of Sarah...so he will work hard to sabotage their relationship.

Very enjoyable story. Looking forward to what comes next for these 2. Really liked how you kept everyone close to their specific canon persona. Great job.

I love this story. Looking forward the next chapter.

I can't stop reading, beautiful character studies in this very original AU. I like the in depth insights in Chuck's and Sarah's mind and thought processes. Maybe a bit repetitive and over the top on Chuck's part, but still enjoyable. Would be at this point of the story to know a bit more about Sarah's past, but that's ok.

There is one thing that would have made my reading experience even better. Write the whole as two stories, one from Chuck's and one from Sarah's POV. Right now we get both almost immediately after every scene. Kind of kills what could have been a good mystery. Is Chuck's interpreting Sarah's behaviour correctly or not? Or maybe if not two stories, at least change the POV every chapter.

Great story! Casey and Carina I like a lot in this AU. I wish there would have been more real competition from the other contestants. Someone like Cole or some other sympathetic original character. But maybe this is really all just a setup by Zondra.

I have just read again whole story and nothing change. Still one of the best Chuck fanfictionI hope there will be update sooner or later. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Excellent as always!

Matchmaker's back! I love this story and am thrilled you made another update. I saw that you updated recently and I made sure to download all the previous chapters so I could reread them during a flight to London. This must be my 3rd or 4th time through. It never gets old.

This chapter is just as good as the others. I love how you captured the awkwardness of the love scene. I couldn't imagine having to go through that myself or with someone I loves. Hopefully they figure it how. I'd hate to see Carina have to jump in (or maybe not...:)). Can't wait for the next update!

You did a great job describing what going on Camp Pendleton is like. My so is stationed there and I remember thinking a lot of samethings you wrote as you described it. Im enjoying this story so far. Thanks for writing!

Filming an intimate scene probably awkward - with your partner watching might make even worse.
And you managed to make the reading fun!
Can't wait for next chapter - May be Ellie making comments on the above?

Joe, as always, excellent writing! Loving the new chapters! And just as much fun and tear jerking the 4th or 5th read through as it was the first time!

But what about Veronica? Did she get her heart transplant? How's her water polo career going? Has her horse, Bubbles, been able to hold his breath long enough to help her rise to stardom? (Author's Note for chapter 23 in case you needed a reminder)

Getting to read a new chapter of Matchmaker is just like meeting an old friend you haven't seen in a while, but you immediately reconnect and the conversation just flows. This version of Charah remains as my favorite non-canon fanfic Charah and I was so happy to see JW updating the story. I'm really looking forward to reading more and glad to hear that JW is doing well.
