Oh wow. Shucks. "/ I would love a continuation of "A Quest For Ben & Jerry's", I think that's what it was called, lol.
Does anyone have any ideas brewing around in their heads for their next story to write? Of course, if you wanna keep it a secret you don't have to share it, lol.
And while we're on the topic of story ideas, and I'm sure this was probably asked but I hadn't seen it since I've been back, how do you guys normally come up with your story ideas? Is it inspired, based off an experience? Do you normally like to take current events and just throw the boys in them? Do you stick with our "old school fanfic method" and just do twists on them? If you have an idea, and notice a writer wrote/is currently writing a story similar to your idea, do you continue on with it?

LMAO!!! Well, when I had given her permission to rewrite it, I also said that I would look to just finish what I had started; rewriting was a possibility for me, but I wasn't gonna hold myself to it, hahaha. It went along with the whole "who would you want to pass your story down to" convo we had oh so long ago. At that point in time, I wasn't really inspired, and had wanted to read more than write, get the suspense out of a fic that people had seem to get out of my fic of SP; being that Ash and I talked a lot, and she was one of my fave authors and I liked her writing style, I gave her permission to take the idea/story and write it her way. I guess then I wanted a fresh look on this story concept and just wanted to read something that would help strike my muse again. I do not if my explanation makes sense, lmao!

I don't think I know that one. LOL It's been a long time. Ben and Jerry's? I'll have to ask her about that.
I'm planning a new story this summer which will center around Nick and Brian. I don't know much else besides the fact that I'm going to explore all facets of their friendship from the time they met until present day. No idea if there will be suspense of more like the one I'm doing this summer.
If that one turns into a mega fail since I have a hard time writing Brian to begin with, then I'll come up with another action/suspense group one. Maybe it's time they endure a natural disaster or a fire or bomb scare or something like that.
When I write my suspense stuff, most of it comes from my own brain. Sometimes it's a dream but others it's just me thinking hrmm I wonder what would happen if... lol for other stories like Why, I just use their own lives and what's happening in them and then add a little more action to make it more fun to read about.
As far as what if other people are writing the same thing at the same time. It's happened before and all I have to say about that is, everyone has their own interpretation of things. The way I write a kidnapping story is going to be different then the way you would or Rose or Erika or anyone else who writes suspense. Sometimes it's kind of fun if there is more than one story which could be considered similar going on at once just to get those different perspectives.

Uh...nope. Made no sense! lmao
kidding, I understand what you're saying. At least I think I do. Anyway...I'm glad you're taking the reigns back and writing on it again, even if I'm afraid to read it because I know you're going to disappear and leave us hanging again!

I think the story started off with AJ and Nick going to the store for some ice cream, and AJ finds Nick being held up by a dude with a gun. I think. LMAO!!! I haven't read it in so long, I'm gonna have to go back and read it again, even though it's just one chapter. :( Lol.
And that's what my mind has been brewing too, lol. I wanna throw those guys in the middle of a storm and see how they'll come out of it; or put them on a plane that just disappears and trying to figure out if its a Bermuda mystery or terrorists they're dealing with. Yanno, stuff that'll separate them from their families so I won't have to deal with writing them too much, LMAO!!!

LOL. Yeah, I'm horrible for that, lol. I should have an award for that... but then it'll keep me away so I can live up to my reputation, lol.
