Question of the day part 10
FrickingKaos:
back in my fanfiction.net days I believe the first story I posted was either a early version of Incomplete, where Brian and AJ try to sing Nick out of a coma. Either that or it was a BSB/NSYNC crossover, I wrote my own version of Survivor from the Outback season. I still have it written on paper, never reposted it anywhere.
FrickingKaos:
I put my story Forces Of Nature on Hiatus, it's only eight chapters long and I was really into the stormchasing idea. I might need a second opinion.on it cause I'd actually like to make it less of a romance and more of a drama/,action. The characters and premise are kind of interesting and I wonder if I could make it better.

If you don't mind sharing, what was the idea, and what was the story that stopped you? I wonder how often this happens!

I actually had a zombie story forming for a brief amount of time before Song for the Dead went up but it was barely worked out and Rose and Julie with Zombies...lol no competition. Not saying I won't ever use zombies...lol

I don't think I've ever refrained from posting something. I would hope that even if a story idea was similar, my writing style and take on the actual idea would be different. Now, if I were to read a few chapters of the other story and see they were very similar, I would most likely make changes to mine but not hold off entirely mainly because it would drive me crazy if i did that! LOL
I actually do enjoy reading similar plots just to see how different authors interpret the same idea. That's why I love this fairy tale challenge so far. There are four stories and as of right now, four totally different takes on the same exact storyline! I think that's so awesome to see!
