cabybakes:
YAY! Congrats, hun!
MonkeyAbu:
Awww, congrats Saka! ;D I said in my thread that I need to read something of yours and this presents me with the perfect opportunity. So I give you my promise right now that I will have read IP in it's entirety before we meet up later this month and I will leave ya some reviews too!
So, question...how did you come up with the idea for this story? I know you said you couldn't write it without drinking your Arizona Iced Tea. Did that have something to do with it? LoL. Were you just sitting around one day drinking your Arizona and it was like *POOF!* and the idea just popped into your head?
mare:
Another question for you, what made you choose Nick as the main character?

It was sort of weird how I came up with the idea, actually. It just randomly popped into my head as I was walking to school, coincidentally, listening to the song "In Pieces" and I toyed with the idea a bit. Each time I listened to the song I'd play with another scene in my head, the whole heartbreak theme of the song was easy, and that part came quickly. But some lyrics game me specific parts such as:
I don't wanna be somewhere where you can watch me as I breathe
sort of gave me the idea for her to go to a concert, front row, and having Nick see her. I can still picture that vividly in my mind, her standing there uncomfortably, at a concert she really doesn't want to be at, and Nick glancing at her...
There are a couple more examples but they are a little spoilerific lol. So I will just say that the song wrote the story, per se. You know what I mean? I molded it around my interpretation of the song :)

Nick's always been my favourite, and I usually only write about him, so that part was easy. But it also seemed to fit him. He has a lot of issues in this story, mostly feeling left out because Brian and Kevin are now married so he tries to seek out the same kind of companionship with Ashleigh. Of course he goes about it in completely the wrong way, because he's so young and still isn't sure what he wants. Even though Nick is my favourite, because of the commitment issues he has and because of how stubborn he is, I don't think it would have worked with any of the other guys.
