LMAO Yes indeed! I had to get some help from Jenna of Swollen Issues fame to figure out how to do frames! I think that was why I revamped, cause that was the first version with frames - I was so proud! Hahaha

And thanks for the compliment! I feel like we bring out each other's best and make each other even better with our collabs! I feel the same way about you with 00Carter - some of my best writing has gone into that story because I feel the need to live up to you and Lore and Kelly and all the other talented people we've had writing it along with us.

I think so LOL. Yeah that old story of mine was totally inspired by that. YAY for you finding it on youtube! I haven't watched it since I was a kid but I still remember it. And awwww thank you! I gotta agree, you've written some epic scenes for 00Carter, like the alien baby scene lol.

Mizpah was the very first story I have ever written and I cringe when I just open it up. I feel like it's kind of all over the place and not that well put together and loaded with tons of grammatical errors! Back then I was just getting to know the boys and trying to get a sense of who they were so a lot of that story is so cliche in the way they act or speak. lol I also had barely written anything before trying on that one. I had started on Mel's but it was in its very early stages so Mizpah was my attempt to do something I had previously only just read. I winged it! lmao
I started to notice a change in my writing while working on Fly Fishing. Where before I used to rush and try to get out a chapter a day, this one I took my time with it and really tried to visualize the characters and the scene and then wrote it down as I saw it. I feel like just by doing that I kind of elevated my writing a bit. Things started to flow and my descriptions weren't as in your face but became much more subtle. It's like by then, I finally got what it took to write a story and I hope it's just gotten better with every one since.

I would never write things like incest and I can't see myself ever writing slash unless it was a challenge. I also don't like to kill off the real kids (but I have no problem killing anyone else off!) Not sure if I would suggest something should be off limits because it all comes down to personal taste.

Here's a question... what do you do when the chapter you're working on just won't come out? Do you try and visualize the scene, or perhaps write ahead and come back to it?

When I'm stuck, I disconnect my internet so that I'm not distracted by things like Twitter. I try to imagine the scenes in my mind, or I'll just close my word document and come back to it later. I like it to be quiet when I'm writing.

Do you have an all time favorite scene or chapter you have written in any fanfic that makes you say, wow...that was pretty great if I do say so myself? And don't lie and say "Oh, i've never thought that!" You know you have, so just fess up now! lol
And yes, at the risk of sounding like an ego maniac, you can name more than one if you'd like! lmao

My favourite scene of all is from Save A Prayer and it's where Jordan's head is crawling with bot flies. It's really gross, but it's something I think stands out, lol.
Another thing I wrote that I was proud of is a short story called Resistance which is not posted. It's a Jason Orange (Take That) story and I put a lot of emotion into it I think.
