I was originally going to say something like that but I decided to be nice lol

Yeah, that was mean, but I don't think the people who write that way are aware that they write that way, so they won't know to be offended.

Remember when people would write dialogue in Ebonics because that is how nick was speaking most of the time? Lol that was my question of the day :P

I have always blissfully ignored the horrible way that Nick speaks in my fanfics lol.

LMAO I never wrote Nick speaking in Ebonics either, but the appearances he did during his ghetto fab phase made it so hard to write about him!  I liked my fanfic Nick better than real life Nick back then LOL.

I love the old school kidnapping stories. That's why in Weird World I incorporated that into the story, plus an accident and threw cloning Nick in for good measure ;) haha. But for real a caveman story would be so interesting to read!

All these suggestions have given me a good idea, but I need to write the story I've already got going first!

Give us a plot of a story you are currently working on and haven't posted yet or something you came up with but have yet to write.

I have a novella in the works about two strangers who meet each other on an international flight and end up traveling together.  It's kind of a twist on the bucket list premise, minus the terminal illness.  It's only going to be ten chapters long, so it's probably something I'll just wait to post until it's finished.  It's only a side project for now.

^That sounds really interesting, Julie! I'm totally into stories like that.

I have like... a million stories I'm working on right now.

There's one where Nick gets scouted to work for a government operation. He's one of two who are chosen to protect the world from these beings called Angels who have basically come to reclaim it. I was inspired by Evangelion (if any of you have watched that?) and have stuck Nick in that world, with some twists to the plot to make it original.

Thanks!  Hopefully I will finish it sometime so I can post it!

Your idea sounds really interesting too!  I haven't seen Evangelion, but it sounds like it'd be a cool, suspenseful sci-fi type of story.
