The Booknatics discussion

I had a guide line that I had written, which I planned to use as I wrote the story. It's hilarious reading this, things I wrote as a kid. The imagination is wild here, omg. The girl is a witch, runs away to Denali at 14 after she busted a girl into flames (who surives) when they were mocking witches being burned on Halloween night. She has all sorts of powers, like telekinesis, shape shifts into a white panther, and heals. I read WAAAAAY too much X-Men growing up. I am playing around with revising it to make it more sensible, this is just too funny. Have you guys ever gone back to your old stories as a kid and just gave it a good laugh? I think I was on to something, now to just clean it up LOL. I won't spoil the rest, the twists in the story are funny lol.

Nday, this is totally something I need to send to you for the story swap LOL

LOL. Bring it on :)

I don't think I have any older stuff I wrote still. Or if I do it's buried in a box somewhere and who knows if it'll ever see the light of day again. There was a story I wrote in HS, but it was only ever on paper and no clue if I still have any copies of it or not in all the crap I have in storage.

Sky, that is good. I recently reread a romance I wrote years ago. I almost threw up it was so bad. I thought I could maybe salvage parts, but it's unredeemable! LOL

Dig around, Nday, this is fun lol!!

LOL Rosanna, I was laughing so hard my sides were hurting when I was reading it last night. I took out some of the good stuff and see what I can do with them, omg. It was a romance she saves a guy who was on a camping trip as she was in her panther and the hilarity of chaos began.

I was scared to keep going through the rest of the box I found that gem in rofl

I would, but don't currently have ready access to all my boxes of stuff. Most of it's in a storage unit, piled high and mostly inaccessible without having to haul a bunch of crap out (and then put said bunch of crap back).

Ok, so I just took a look to see what old stuff I might have typed up on the computer in the past and came across some file I titled "dream notes.txt". Based on that I'm guessing it's something I jotted down based on a dream I had so I wouldn't forget it, but I totally have now, and even reading it now it doesn't make much sense to me, lol. Anyone care to hazard an interpretation? :)

A - man, professor type, mid-age-ish, hunter?, secret vampire, salt & pepper hair
B - woman, Daughter of man A, young, brunnette
C - man, vampire, young, somewhat hot-headed in some situations, hunter?, dark hair, with the As at one point
D - man, hunter, young, buff, blonde, intelligent, intense
E - man, vampire, younger middle age?, former clergy?, good or wants to be, overcome by nature sometimes
F - man, vampire, with man D, vague figure
G - woman, vampire, dark hair, ambitious & competitive, has some big plan and wants to eliminate any possible opposition
H - woman, lover of woman B, vampire, mostly just talked about a little, weaker figure

A, B, and C on some outing...hunt? woman unaware at first of mens' nature? Get to somewhere and run into E & F...E is known to B somewhat, but she didn't know his nature? E is tormented by hunger or something, but not out of control. Becomes obvious what he is, but he's trying to explain and/or beg mercy. C starts to lose control a bit. Somehow D shows up? B ends up alone with D in a room somewhere, trying to defend A? Sexual tension between them, at least on B's part. Somehow B ends up with G, mostly talking, trying to defend A, whom G is planning to kill because she sees him as being possible opposition to some plan she has. B tries to convince her that he's reasonable and won't interfere if she just talks to him. B is tired, somewhat out of it...hands/arms bound somehow? body feels heavy...fed on heavily? Next day, B is with some others...possibly D and E are there...some kind of meeting...she's very tired and weak.

If I could make heads or tails of it, I might be game to give it a go at making something from it...if all the other people in my head would leave me alone that is, lol.

Edit: One of the first thoughts that hit me reading this? "When the hell did I ever dream about a F/F couple??" I so don't remember that! LOL

Ha! I took another look through my old directories (I'm a file pack rat as much as I am a "stuff" packrat) and found the story I wrote in HS. I though I had typed it up at one point. I read through it just now and...much of it isn't that bad actually. A bit over the top. A bit naive and quaint, but not necessarily that bad.

Of course then there's the other part that's a lot of POV shift gone wild, lol...

Ooh, I already love salt and pepper guy. ;)

Nday, I still have to get that file off my phone you sent me so that I can read it a little easier! My phone has been such a pain lately =(
