Do you mean the series episodes? (Because I might start a Season Two.) Or the last story, 'Waking Up'? Thinking about a sequel there, too.

Well, I keep waiting for the "mwhaa haaa " moment you were alluding to in Waking up when I said I knew where it was going and you implied it might not - so I just ASSUMED it hadn't ended there and there was a sequel I thought Jaime and Steve would be on their way back together now that Chris is out of the way

Watch for my Season 4 Episode 2 "For Love" part 2 probably tomorrow or Tuesday. My computer is at Staples having some Malware taken out of it. As soon as I'm up, I'll post. I have an outline of season 4 but I've not started actually writing episode 3. I love the stories and LBL's. How about segment of Steve's Wedding. |

I really like your story. I can't wait for the next one. I'm not quite sure how you're going to resolve things. It kind of looks to me that Oscar is very attentive to the girl but maybe not so much of the mother. That said, he would look bad dumping her for Jaime. Jaime seems to have a problem becoming serious with someone or making a commitment. |

Man, am I storyless right now! I've been planning to write something that was pretty much a straight ahead mission story, but right now I can't get into it. It feels like a retread. I need something new to infuse into it, but I can't think of much. I always need some theme that may or may not have anything to do with the show or the story. A new plot line alone doesn't quite get my writing demons hopping. |

I too am struggling to write a mission story. I don't mind putting in a character that we've met before but I want to avoid the usual suspects - Franklin, fembots, robots, Lisa, Dolenz, etc. I've been looking at the news headlines for '78 & '79 for ideas. |

That's a good idea. I think for a mission to be interesting you have to set up a lot of expectations and then break those expectations - reversals they call them. So you have to be pretty good at devising fiendishly clever plots. Otherwise, Jaime goes into a dangerous situation, something to do with spies or bombs or robots or whatever - doesn't really matter what it is, it's scary, Jaime is hurt or almost killed, some bad guy (somebody she knows or occasionally a new character) sneers as he points a gun at her (they always sneer) Jaime whups him and what do you know...she beats the bad guy! And then she goes home with the man of the author's choice, who, oddly enough, is never Michael Marchetti or Chris Williams. Unless you've got some really good plot devices, it's pretty predictable. (Or that's my experience of writing missions, anyway!) |

That's why I don't enjoy most mission stories as much as romances. I don't CARE if I know she gets together with Oscar - I like reading it all the same I DO enjoy a well written mission - or adventure - though. I like them to have SOME basis in reality though - never liked that Helen Hunt alien one. We've had some good LBL mission plots - maybe it's time for another. I've not had good luck though with recent LBL's - someone else will have to do it

Hey OJFan, The Outing was a great LBL and a lot of fun to do. If you've an idea, go for it.

'Ghost Town' was like that for me. I had a title in my head that I thought was cool - and wrote a story around it.

This time, I have a concept - a theme, of sorts - and am trying to come up with a story to work it into. |

That's my favourite way to write! If I don't have some subtext in there I don't enjoy writing so much. |

Still no firm story to go with the theme (and title)...but I will find one. It reminds me of 'Bullet' or 'Cat and Mouse', with the little theme thread weaving through the entire story, but this theme is a bit more blatant. Really, really want to use it! |

Does anyone enjoy reading stories that are light on dialog and heavier on narration? I have one I'm writing that has a lot of "back story" and one person "telling" a sizable portion of the story. |
