Featured Story for July 2007 - Pandora's Box by Nick's Gal
nicksgal:
Well... Renee's feelings are a bit unexplained... Maybe we'll all get there after finals are over....
And that is probably the most ironic thing about that character decision. :D
mare:
okay Dee, more questions for you lol
So help people like me out who aren't really into fantasy but might want to give this a try by answering these questions.
1) Are the boys the boys? If not give us a brief explanation of who is who and how they relate to each other. (I ask because sometimes it can all get confusing)
2) When do the boys show up in the story?
3) Who would you actually consider the main character? One of the boys or one of the female leads?
That should help :O)
Oh and another one, do you like mustard or ketchup on your hot dogs? lol
nicksgal:
1) Are the boys the boys? If not give us a brief explanation of who is who and how they relate to each other. (I ask because sometimes it can all get confusing) This is one of the key points of the story, so without giving too much away, yes, they are the Boys; it will all be clear in the end. As to the bulk of the story, they are the cardinal demons for Saphirsud, so yes, they're still together. Hmm... Well, Nick is Nick, Howie is Howie, Brian is Brian, Kevin is Kevin, and AJ is AJ. Their individuals roles are important to their role in the story and I hate spoilers, so... There's that answer.
2) When do the boys show up in the story? Well, like in most stories, not all the characters are introduced at once. So they each get their own introduction. I'm guessing on the chapters for sure, but... Nick (Second Chapter-this is a fact), Howie (Seventh Chapter), Brian (Twelth Chapter), Kevin (Eighteenth Chapter), AJ (Twenty-Seventh Chapter). I think those are right... So if you like Nick, he's around for a while. :D If you like AJ, sorry... :'(
3) Who would you actually consider the main character? One of the boys or one of the female leads? Well, if you take the entire series "The Legendary Pandora" into account (yes I know the other three are not written), the main character is actually Nick. In PBox by itself, Nick and Minako both share the role. It's dual main charactership. The story is as much about Minako's journey to this fantastical world as it is about who Nick is. If that makes any sense... ^_^;
Oh and another one, do you like mustard or ketchup on your hot dogs? lol Well... After doing the Hot Dog-A-Thon (run 3k and eat three hot dogs), I don't eat hot dogs because the thought of them makes me ill. But when I did eat hot dogs, I only put mustard on them... It was better that way, I think... Ketchup is too mild for hot dogs.

Thanks! And I agree about the hot dogs lmao
so boys are the boys but not really united as boys since they aren't together until around chapter 27 or so?
This is a sequel? So next question, should people read the first one before venturing onto this one?
And anything else you want to add that you might think would be helpful for people to know before reading?
i'm in ultra Oprah mood lol

Well, thanks for being in Ultra Oprah mode. :)
Yeah, hot dogs are really disgusting. :D
Well.. They all come together eventually, but I suppose that's how to put it... They basically were introduced as it felt right for them in the story... I guess, in that sense it was more important for the plot to be the way I envisioned it, than to have all the Boys in it right away...
Chronologicall y, yes, it's a sequel, but in terms of the story itself, it's actually the first part, if that makes any sense... The other stories are only floating around in my head anyway... But, since the focus of the series as a whole is the character of Nick, then you're supposed to read this one first and foremost, so the reader feels as if they're growing along with him. :)
Anything helpful? Hmmm... No, I don't think so. Just that I hope they're all willing to give it a chance. I know it's out there as far as BSB fan fiction goes, but... I think it's message is a very important one. :)
