Sequel eh? I need something to read instead of refreshing AC every minute to see if anything has been updated lol...

Wheww! I'm glad that most authors seem to be pretty cool with the whole "same idea different place" thing. Makes me feel a lot more at ease. See I knew you girls would reassure me!
And I admit I draw inspiration on things I read too. For instance ALTOS was greatly influenced actually by BMS. You wouldn't think that off the bat, but I was actually really intrigued by what Julie did with keeping Claire and Nick apart for so long and Claire was with Jamie and Nick was with Laureen, yet there was obviously feelings there. Of course I'm choosing to take that scenario with my characters being involved with different people and take it a step further into what would happen if the main characters actually gave into those feelings.
So I know that other fics can spark new ideas with a new spin on it and I think thats really cool about fan fiction. I guess I just need to focus more on the differences in my story.

The first story is 60 chapters and its pretty long, but if you're REALLY looking for something to read I'm not going to discourage you.
The first story is Under my Skin and the sequel is A Little Taste of Sin.
And sorry for the shameless plug :-[ I bet Dee is proud lol

LOL I can tell you there was one on my Brain Candy site. She had contacted me and asked me to host her and then as I was reading her story it was a knock off of Shadow Woods. She even called it something like OMg what did she call it? AH! I can't even remember, Shadow Grim or something like that. I said "uh...you might want to change that title because it might appear you are copying my story." I knew she wasn't going to stick with it anyway because I can kind of just tell. And sure enough after about three chapters of Shadow Grim she was never heard from again. loll
