Like I said earlier I feel like one of my trademarks is titling every chapter. Is there something you tend to do in every story as a symbol to show it's you? I guess I'm asking if you have a "thing" lol

Hahahaha, sorry! I was working, and as soon as I got off, I had shot straight to a dinner I had with two of my friends, planning our Vegas trip. It'll be my first time going to Vegas! ^_^
As for anything that may be my signature style... uh... well, I'll title chapters, when I'm not feeling lazy, lmao! Updating Satan's Playground after all these years, I was kinda like ugh, why did I title chapters, my mind isn't feeling creative enough to come up with something! Hahaha. Just like you Mare, I use ~*~*~*~*~ when separating. Funny fact, five is my favorite number, so I'll make sure I either have five asterisks or five squiggly lines, lmao! I started off with three, now it's five... I don't know, it's just been a thing I'd do, lmao.
I'd also like using song titles or lyrics, if it was fitting of course. Using lyrics as your summary is always fun and easy, LMFAO!!! I actually like my summary for "When Doves Cry", incorporating both a song title as my title, an original summary and part of the lyrics of the song; thought it was fitting because the story was that of anguish, pain, heartache, angst, feeling broken, and the song has that creepy vibe yet deep meaning that kinda went hand in hand with the direction I wanted to take the story, lol.

If you were to take one of your stories (for the readers, a story that you've read) and make it into a movie, which story would it be and why?

I'm glad you always use the same number. One thing that annoys me, only because I'm so anal, is when the number of ~*~*~ or whatever changes every time because the writer just does it randomly instead of having a consistent way of doing it.
Anyone else have any random pet peeves like that? LOL

I was going to say Song for the Undead, but it'd be better as a TV show or miniseries because it's so long, and then I realized it basically already IS a TV show called The Walking Dead LOL. Except we wrote Undead first! (Well, we wrote Undead before The Walking Dead was a TV show, at least. I think the comic was around, but we had never heard of it.) Anyway, if it was made into a movie or a show now, people would just think we had ripped off Walking Dead or Zombieland.
So that leaves me with my second choice, which would be... Secrets of the Heart? Yeah, I think Secrets of the Heart would actually make a great movie because it has a storyline that is complex, but concise, if that makes any sense. Every scene moves the story forward, and it's not drawn out. It could easily fit into two hours without leaving a lot out. It's also AU, which means it would not have to be de-Backstreet-ized. I think it would make a cool drama/mystery/psychological thriller. It's one of those stories that basically played out like a movie in my head as I wrote it anyway.
FrickingKaos:
I dunno if any of my stories would be good enough for a movie, unless someone else thinks so. But as a reader I think Whatever The Night May Bring by Mare would be an awesome mini series. Also 00Carter or Song For the Undead. All are great at entertaining and would be really cool to see acted out.
