Yes! When Julie and I posted the chapter in Undead where it was zombies, because up till that point we kept it hidden. Hell the title was even different so people wouldn't know LOL. We figured a lot might stop reading at that point. We were shocked when people loved it. Or with RMTW where people loved that I went for a different form of angst with Alzheimer's lol. I was shocked for both, but in a good way cause I got the reactions I hoped for, but didn't expect.

When starting a brand new story, what do you find you have the most trouble with? Your first chapter, the summary, the title, the banner or anything else?
Rose:
The title lol. I hate titles. I refuse to post a story before I have one, but titles drive me insane. I have the hardest time coming up with them. Typically the end up from a lyric or a phrase or something.
Sakabelle:
The beginning. I usually have no clue where to actually start a story or where the best place to jump into my characters lives. I have tons of chapters sitting in my folder that aren't necessarily beginnings, but random chapters of stories that I don't know how to start! There's one story I have eight chapters of, but I'm blocked on how to actually start it, lol. And now it's kind of dead in the water anyways because I started a collab with a friend that's really similar.

The beginning is usually the hardest for me. Sometimes titles are hard, and sometimes they come easily, but I never start writing without a title. Summaries usually aren't a struggle for me to write, and I enjoy making banners - those are the fun parts!
