I imagine writing in texts would be the same as dialogue. I've done that dialogue story challenge twice, once in HS and once with you guys. The one I wrote in HS won an award bc I was still able to paint a picture of the scene without using any description. That's the basis of "show, not tell" after all, just have the characters describe the scene in a way that isn't awkward. So I think a text would work the same!

Also, Tracy, I'm sure with two thanksgiving holidays and Christmas upon us there will be further cranberry arguments/discussions lol

I did that once, and it wasn't as easy as I expected. You gotta be able to let the dialogue not only tell the story but who's speaking. I can see texting be the same concept.

Of the guys (not their misc...), do you find you have a hard time torturing one of them but not some of the others? Are there things you refuse to do to one that you would have no problem doing to another?

No I find I'm pretty fair to all of them. At least in terms of HOW I torture. The rate is pretty skewed in Nick's direction lmao.

I'm an equal-opportunity torturer LOL.  Nick and Brian are usually my victims of choice, but I have made bad things happen to all of them.  Of the five, Howie has suffered the least, but I have a story in the works where I will make up for that, so not even he can escape my evil clutches.  I don't really have any sort of boundaries or restrictions anymore.  Nothing is off limits.

I'm pretty equal opportunity but come to think of it I don't think I've tortured, maimed or killed anyone but Nick!

I tend not to hurt Howie, which is funny because I always plan to but my favorite victims are  nick, brian or Kevin.

I'll torture them all and I'd probably kill them off too.  Gone are the days when I had boundaries lol.

lol I quote you because we're similar. I never hurt Howie, mostly because I tend to forget about him *pats Howie on the head* Obviously, my favorite victims are Brian and Nick. And no, I don't have boundaries. When you start torture, you can only go further and further. LOL

I realized that I never tend to seriously injure Kevin ever. In my Protect and Serve series, AJ and Brian were shot, Howie was pummeled with a bat, Nick..well good Lord but Kevin was pretty much unscathed. That tends to happen a lot with him. LOL

What about reading? Do you enjoy reading one being hurt over the others? Is there someone you can't deal with being bodily harmed?

Reading?
Brian.
Brian.
Brian.
And Brian. LOL

The one I can't deal with being harmed is Nick, but only because I've used up all my patience for all the stories when he's the one being harmed. lol Lately I'm like "Oh God, not again." LOL

I will read about anyone being tortured, I am not really biased, torture in general is always a good read.

I tend to torture Nick the most, because it's the most fun, LOL.
I hardly ever hurt Kevin, because I don't like to "see" him weakened or in pain.
Therefore in almost every review I leave for "Hope" by Mare, I tell her she's being mean to him ;)

As long as the torture makes sense to the plot I don't care who it is LOL

I know this sounds kind of weird coming from me, but I don't really enjoy reading about any of them being tortured physically. Mentally I love it, but the physical stuff makes me all squeamish! LOL yes, I know!
