FS for August and #91 is - On Nightingale Hill by Filiklepto
mare:
Starting a little late because of lessons. LOL
YAY that you're writing again! Hopefully you're also working on "On the Rails!"
Okay onto chapter 5!
I was going to eventually ask if he was a Backstreet Boy in this one or not. I figured we'd find out eventually but I'm glad to know it sooner rather than later. And I KNEW I was right about the growth spurt. Go me!!
LMAO I love how non-chalant Nick was about this little girl waking him up because she has to pee. Like now where the hell did she come from? Ah well...let's just go with it! At least she's not a biting gnome!
Aww I enjoyed how Lene went around magically making things appear and explaining she had a mother, father and a dog. I'm glad she told him her name. I can't believe he didn't ask her that! Duh! Nick!!
And now they're heading to the castle. Looking forward to the next growth spurt although Nick with a kid is too adorable!
mare:
okay here we go with chapter 6!
Boy Gunther is not a really nice guy is he? And now I'm further intrigued by the thought of a Lene split in half and I love the idea of the tapestry. You've done an excellent job not only creating this strange new place, but also describing it in a way that is very easy to visualize. posting this because the computer is being a butt again!
Okay, well I'm on my Nook now since the computer crapped out again.
Nick's part of this chapter was creepy! The guy totally cracks me up because he freaks out about the gnome but kids turning into skeletons & more reaching for him & he seems fine lol on a side note, nothing is as creepy as ring around the rosie sung by small kids! * shudders*

How close are you to finishing the story?

Hmm... we're probably around 3/4 of the way through now, so maybe about 6~8 more chapters?
Since this is the FSoM thread, I guess I can give you guys some "behind the scenes" info here. I've been digging through old drafts of the story and it looks like I have a few more chapters worth of material saved away that's already been written. The only problem is, I don't recall Nick being such a creeper! Even re-reading chapter 18 made me face-palm quite a bit.
I think part of the problem is, when I first wrote ONH during National Novel Writing Month, one of the inside jokes I had while writing it was to make Nick as inappropriate as possible. ::) But now I'm not sure how much I want to post it haha.
I'll see how much of it I can salvage, though!

I think the gnome thing really freaked him out because it was the first sign that things were very, very different from normal. But by the time he gets to the skeletons, so many weird things have happened that it's freaky but not unusual...?
Ring Around The Rose is really creepy, though, right? I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!
I'm still working on the next chapter, but I'm pretty confident that I should have chapter 19 posted before you finish 18. (I think!)

Oh, I forgot to reply to this one!
OTR is definitely next on the list, but I think I'm going to try to use this momentum to finish ONH first before picking up Nick and Carla's story again. (It's been on my mind a lot lately, though!)
