If you could pick a story of your own and a story of another fanfic author to be published which would you choose?

I really wouldn't mind seeing Undead being published. I'm very proud of what Julie and I created. That, and since it's already so AU, I don't think it would be hard. We'd just have to pull all the song lyrics out really, so we wouldn't have to pay for the rights to use them lmao. That, and name changes of course. I think it could happen. I know we've actually talked about it at times, once we actually finish it.
A story not my own, actually I'd love to see Julie publish Curtain Call. A lot would need to be changed around, since it's very much a BSB story, but I feel she did a better job with it than Broken, and as much as I liked Broken, I think Curtain Call tugged at the emotions a lot more. It just feels more real. Another I'd wanna see published is Shadow Woods, partly cause I know Mare did a great job with the BSB version, and I saw parts of the OF version and it's just as great. :)

What do you find most difficult when writing? Description, plot, dialogue etc...

Pacing myself is hard. It's hard to keep that balance where you don't rush the story. Especially when you're SO excited to get to certain parts. Another hard part is watching tenses. It used to be SUCH a problem with my writing. I could describe, I could delve into character development (I love that actually lol), but tenses killed me. Fortunately, I've really gotten a lot better about it.

Thanks, Rose! See, I can't see Curtain Call as an original fiction at all. It works well as a fanfic, but it's too BSB-based, and I don't see a way to rewrite it that would preserve that dynamic. But thanks for the compliments on it!
It would be awesome to try to publish Undead! We'd definitely have to edit, but not completely rewrite, which is appealing LOL.

You'd basically have to turn BSB into a fictional band LOL. It'd be difficult, but I could see it. And yeah, see Undead wouldn't be AS hard LOL.

Here's a question, with the whole 50 Shades thing...
How do you feel about the whole Self Publishing trend?
