Featured Story For June 2007 - Not Your Average Cinderella Story by Honey
mare:
Aww I love how everyone is saying they were so caught up in it, that by the time they realized it was a Howie story they couldn't stop reading. To me that's the mark of great writing Kelly, so congrats!
It's hard to keep people's interests when they don't even know who they are really reading about. So here's the next question, how hard was it for you to write mainly about Howie? Or as you were writing it, did you not even know it was going to be Howie? Did I ask this already? lmao I don't think I did...but i'm too lazy to go back and check.

awww thanks Mare, that's quite the compliment. Stop or you'll make me blush-lol
but seriously though, thank you that's very sweet.
I actually planned this one to be a Howie story from the begining because I had never written him before. Or at least not as a main character. Hence the whole intentionally not telling people who it was about right up front. People skip over Howie stories because they are Howie stories and I wanted to write a story that people would still enjoy even if he's their least favorite, but they'd never have given it a chance had they known it was going to be about him. -lol
He's actually very very hard for me to write, so I was thrilled to hear someone (can't remember who said it and am like Mare and too lazy to go back and look at the moment) say that they loved my Howie, because he's a challenge for me.
Always the soft spoken sweet charmer, his personality just doesn't make for the most interesting character. (Sorry Howie I love you to death, but Nice doesn't exactly sell.) So when writing this story I actually relied really heavily on the other guys and Leighanne. Yes it's a Howie story, but Brian and Leighanne have probably just as much face time and then you've got Nick in there causing the trouble too so there's a little bit of something for everyone in this fic. (Well except for all the Kevin lovers out there myself included :-[ sorry about that one.)
I do wish I'd have found a way to get AJ a little more involved than I did, but you can't win 'em all I gess. He actually took on Howie's usual role of being in the background. -lol (Sorry AJ, I guess I owe you your own story now too.)

One thing that did make me freeze when i started reading it was that she's actually very similar to myself (personality wise) and that surprised me a little, also kinda freaked me out too lol.
Great story, congrats on getting Featured story! ;)
