I can see it working with your story, just  take a good look at *Nick* in your story and make sure that you give him a personality and a background and all that. That's always my problem when converting because in fan fic I don't do it so much because we all know *Nick* already. But when he becomes *Joe* or whoever, all of that history and character disappears and for those reading that never saw him as *Nick* he becomes very one dimensional and flat. At least that's my experience.

As far as story goes though, I don't see you having a problem. And in original fic I wouldn't dwell on lyrics all that much. Maybe just a line or two in that one chapter where she hears the song... but anything more than that would probably seem silly or cheesy and you might get negative feedback for it. I don't know though? Good luck!

Yeah lucky for me in Nick's first chapter where he tells the story, I explained a lot of his background cause he rants about it. But I do have to remember that I won't have the instant history I would with a fanfic. And yeah I'm nixing all the lyrics except for the HWSS chapter which will only have a couple lines when Nick himself sings it to her. I know it'd come off more cheesy if I left any other lyrics too.

Rose:
Oh my other thing is I'm trying to write Tracy in more and earlier, looking back on the story and notes I feel I didn't include her enough and she might have been more one dimensional as a character than I would like. So I'm trying to add in scenes too.

honey:
meh. Tracy's a bitch. I like her that way.
