Fic Talk > I Challenge You....
Engarde!!!!! The reading challenge part two!
Mellz Bellz:
Sorry I've been slacking with reading ther past few days. Just finished Chapter 26 of 00Carter and the 5th episode arc Bunnies in Black. Oddly enough so far this was my favorite despite the introduction of aliens to the plot. I've made how I feel about sci-fi known, so it's a wonder my head didn't explode lol jk. I love how dramatically this arc started out with a young couple wandering onto the HimTak base because the wife was in a very complicated labor. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet but it was very intriguing.
I also LOVE the idea of the girls getting their own mission and Nick having to stay behind. It was also kind of awesome that their mission involved masquerading as Playboy Bunnies at the Playboy Mansion. The situation lent itself to a lot of really humorous lines and situations.
The alien stuff once it got underway... Ehh kind of made me want to skim over a lot, but that's just mer personally having zero interest in sci-fi. I see that the next episode takes place in Disney World and I am a HUGE Disney fan so I may like that one even better.

Thanks, Mel! I'm so surprised that the BIB was your favorite episode so far! We thought for sure we'd lose you with the aliens LOL.
We always wanted an all-girl, Charlie's Angels style mission for the ladies, and our original idea for this episode was more of a spoof on Flava of Love and Bret Micheals' Rock of Love, which were both still on Vh1 at the time, and the girls had to pose as sex slaves for those two. We planned it all out and started writing it, but a couple of parts in, we realized it wasn't going very well and none of us were really sold on the idea, so we actually scrapped it and went back to the drawing board. We decided to go the Playboy/Girls Next Door route instead, and I have no idea how the aliens came into it, but somehow we got that idea, too. It changed the whole future of the story, introducing aliens to the 00Carter universe, because like you said in one of your reviews, that arc is too big to be over.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the all-girl episode. I guess it helps being a romance fan, because we were worried people wouldn't like it because of the lack of Backstreet Boys; that's why we tried to still include them as much as we could. Thanks for the feedback!!

I recall being into the Rock/Flava of Love idea! :P In fact I was writing my part when it changed. :(
For the better, though.

I know, I remember you were... I think we all were originally, but seems like we had a lot of trouble getting that episode off the ground. The Playboy plot turned out better.
