We are officially down a cowriter, now a duo rather than a trio. But the story must go on! lol. So Julie and I give you this week's update. Chapter 27 has been posted  ;D

julilly:
Ok, you guys will probably hate me for asking this but well, that's me...

This story... when is it going to get to the point? It's been 27 chapters and I still feel like it's dragging me along. In fact, I stopped reading for a while, and when I went to pick it back up I just skimmed because I haven't really gotten to anything "meaty".

So I'm just wondering, am I missing the point or has it not gotten there?

Chapter 31. :)

I know it's taken a long time, and I don't think we realized when we planned it out how long it was actually going to seem, but we felt like we needed to build the suspense slowly, while introducing the readers to the characters and their lives, before everything changed.

Also, we have ten characters, and until the last couple of chapters, they've been living ten separate lives, so in order to show each one's part of the story, we've been giving each one a chapter in each part... which is why each part is ten chapters long, and we're almost done with the third part for each character.

Part III, which starts with Chapter 31, is where you really get to the "meat" of the story, and we hope it will be worth the wait.  I'm sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it will be something different for Bsb fanfic, at least.  We're dying to get there!!

We've been planning this story since last July, and we still aren't to the whole point the idea came from, so we're really anxious too.  But June 14, you should know, and then you can decide if it's worth sticking with or not. :)

Thanks for asking!

Rose:
What Julie said basically.

Trust me, we're very anxious to get there ourselves. I was just telling her this, before seeing this post. I'm beyond ready to get past Ch. 31 and get into the real point of the story. The buildup is slow, but necessary, I know I couldn't think of a better way to get there.

julilly:
To be honest Julie I doubt I will stick with it, regardless of the chapter 31 prospect. It's just taken way too long. I wouldn't read 31 chapters into a novel before deciding whether I was going to keep reading.

I was just curious to know if the point was ever on the way lol
