Featured Story of the month for November 2007 - Somewhere I Belong by Teri
Tri:
Okay, ONE more, then I need to start getting ready to skedaddle...
"It’s going to hurt to find out if she actually did what I think she did. But I will not let her take the easy way out. She’s going to want me to hate her and break up with her so she can punish herself over and over. I’m not going to let her do that, she’s going to deal with it, we’re going to deal with it. I love her with all my heart and I’m not giving up on her. Alyssa may want me to, however she can’t get what she wants right now."
With Paris or Amanda or any other girl, Nick would've just dumped her and moved on to the next girl. With Alyssa, he's taking a more mature approach, realizing that people make mistakes, but he can't throw away the best relationship he's ever had because of one big bump in the road. He's also acknowledging the fact that it's Ali... She's the one for him and always has been. So regardless of what happened, he wants to try to work their problems out and overcome them. It's also part of his stubbornness that I love oh so much. lol.
mare:
aww I liked the first one. Like Tri said, you did a great job of capturiing Nick's personality in that one.
Teri:
LOL he's a dork so I try to capture it as much as possible
mare:
it's always fun to capture a dorky Nick lol
Teri:

So i'm going to steal some of my questions I have asked other people lol
For someone like me who isn't big on the romance side of fiction, tell me some things that would draw me in into your story. Plot points that don't have to do with a romantic aspect.
Or for people who live for that sort of thing, what has been your favorite scene to write concerning the relationship between Nick and Ali?
(I hope I got that right?)and why?
Also give us some of your favorite quotes from your story (either the first or the sequel) and this one is for anyone who is reading or has read both of these stories. I have a feeling Tri has a few favorites she can share.
You can tell us who said it or you can just put the quote and have people guess. :)
--- End quote ---
For the non-romance lovers: It's not so much about the relationship and petty lil drama, it's well it deals with real life and a girl who just wants acceptance and works really hard to get it. Once she gets it she's like working twice as hard to keep it. As far as her relationships they tend to suffer as a result because she hasn't quite learned there's a balance to things and in AS it's becoming GLARINGLY clear how it's effecting her relationships. And Nick...where do i begin with that boy.
It just really deep down deals with friendship. Nick and Ali are friends first, and lovers second, and they've sorta lost that along the way and AS is really going to show them returning to that. SWIB is the mid point, the height of their intimacy and love and making sacrifices when one messes up.
For the romance lovers: My favorite scene between them to write aside from any sex scene (cuz those are a lot of fun to write I must say) is the proposal. It was just something I knew I'd die if a man did that much for me. So I needed it to be absolutely perfect and drawn out. And according to Tri it was. LOL.
Favorite quotes:
Hmmm I love it when Nick like makes fun of himself, I don't particularly have any personal favorites I love all my quotes cuz I'm just that dorky. I love reading what everyone else thinks so please let me know what your favorite quotes are!!
I have favorite scenes, like the dream sequence about Brandon, it was effing hysterical to write. The threesome was another, I was so worried about it but then I wrote it and afterwards I was like damn that's actually pretty good. My most favorite scene has to be the proposal and anytime there's an anniversary between Nick and Ali, the cutesy stuff that shows HOW MUCH they know each other is just things I love to write. Which is why i'm like trying so hard to get through to CH 31 of AS cuz then some nice stuff will happen more often.
