If you could make a story yours..
« on: August 08, 2007, 07:47:24 AM »

which story would that be?
In other words.. name one or two stories you wish you had written instead of the original author.
And tell us why. Did you have a similar story idea perhaps?

That is a good question... and I have so many answers!!  LOL  Pretty much any of my favorite stories because they're so good!!  They all have something in them that makes me go, "Wow, I wish I'd thought of something like that!" or "Wow, if only I could write that way!"

For example... Mersey's story "Finding Brotherhood" - what a great idea and unique story!  I only wish I were that creative, to come up with something like that and work it into this amazing story!

Mare's story "The Importance of Fly Fishing" is another one.  Mare took such a simple idea - Kevin and Nick going on a fishing trip - and turned it into this amazing, beautiful story that somehow manages to stay interesting and hilarious for however many chapters, even though it all takes place over the course of one day.  I wish I could do that!!

There are plenty more, but there's a couple for ya!  LOL

^ aww thanks Julie :) I have a feeling you'd be able to do a story like this as well.

I'm with you on Finding Brotherood. I wish I had that kind of imagination to come up with that storyline.

Of course Ground Zero. I wish I had written that one lol

You're welcome!  I dunno LOL, I don't do "simple" very well.  I'm too into the drama... and not just the minor drama of every day life.  I'm not even into writing short stories anymore, let alone whole novels (or novellas, whatever you would call Fishing) about something as a simple as a fishing trip.  That really takes skill, to be able to get a whole story out of that and have it be so entertaining and meaningful!

I think it was easy for me to do simple in that case just because of my love affair with Kevin and Nick. I could close my eyes and totally picture them spending that kind of a day together and of course I squeed like a teeny when I found out that they did go fishing on Nick's birthday. Howie was there too, but still lol

And i'm so glad you thought the story was meaningful and entertaining. That means a lot to me! :D

Aww, yeah!!  That's so great when you are so totally into your characters (in this case, real people LOL) that you can just write forever about them doing the simplest things.  Once I do get going on the Bsb filler parts, I can do that, but I just have issues thinking up ideas for stuff that doesn't really NEED to be in the story, but that I want to have in it.
