I dreamed it one day. Those are the only dreams I remember, the really vivid, epic ones.... Because I'm a big dork or something. :D

It's really stupid actually, because I know exactly what's supposed to happen, I just can't seem to get from point A to point B... And if I write out of order, I know I'll never go back, so...

I definitely know what thats like! And I can't write out of order either. My best advice would be to just try to plow through it. Nine times out of ten those parts are the mostly filler parts and you're just itching to get to the bigger more climatic (is that even a word? lol) parts. Keep telin yourself that if you want to get to the big ending scene you need to set the stage first as boring as that might seem.

Okay I have a question for everyone else out there... kind of so we can start a discussion or something.
How did you like the introductions to each of the BSB characters in the story?
I have to admit that Nick's was the most drawn out, and I found myself skimming parts but then going back to re-read cause it made no sense later *laughs and kicks self for skimming to begin with* I was soooo very confused by Nick at the beginning but I believe that you are supposed to be confused to help give you some sense of confusion that Minako is going through at the same time.
I love that Howie is the 2nd to be introduced and is in the story for such a long time. I definately think that Dee captured him if he were to be in that kind of role I see Howie in that light.
Brian's introduction was supposed to be a "surprise" but with the banter between the two and how he was dressed it was not a surprise to me. I love the conversation between the two; despite Nick's anger (I find he has a lot of anger in this story)
I was not expecting Kevin's introduction and again I found myself confused and having to re-ready (yes I did not learn my skimming lesson). Making him a guardian, such a role to fit the oldest I believe. And again Nick shows his anger... lol while Kevin just continues on his quest to get the answer he is looking for for them to pass.
A.J. kind of baffled me some, I don't know why but I didn't like th fact that he is/was friends with Joey. Okay don't get me wrong they can be friends if they want but I didn't see how this would come to play later in the plot. I found that it made me think of A.J. as weaker then the rest... I don't know why, it's my opinion.
So what all did you guys think of how they were introduced? Please go into how she portrayed them in the entire story if you like. I'd be interested to see if anyone else had the same ideas as me.
Also raise your hand if you dislike Minako *raises hand* we'll discuss and join a club together. :-D
