message 1: by [deleted user] (new)

Any genres you prefer?


message 2: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments hmmm...not really. the only thing i am completly against is vampires/werewolves/paranormal romance.


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

What about a traditional romance, possibly set in an earlier time period?


message 4: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments i'm fine with romance and an earlier time period is fine but im only in 8th grade so i dont kno too much about past time periods...


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

OH, well we can do whatever. :) Why don't you pick the topic and we'll just go from there?


message 6: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments i never like picking so if u want u can pick, plz


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Um . . . what about a story of two girls who are best friends?


message 8: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments ok. they still in school or no? and if so what grade/age?


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

They can be any age; would it be easier if they were around your age? That's fine with me.


message 10: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments i'm fine with anything. they can be older if u want by a couple years


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, what about fifteen or sixteen?


message 12: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments fifteen is good. that would be 10th grade


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep. Okay. So, do you have any ideas about a story for them?


message 14: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments well it is late and i have to go, but i promise to think about plot and characters. one ? before i go, the two friends should we make them the same or complete opposites?


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Either way. I think opposites might be a bit more fun, though.


message 16: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments yeah thats what i was thinking too. ok, talk with you tomorrow.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, night.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

How about this?

Two girls, polar opposites (One is the studious, shy, overachieving type. The other is the rebellious, outgoing, devil-may-care type.) And I was actually thinking about having them be twin sisters rather than best friends.

What do you think?


message 19: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments okay i'm liking it so far. what should the conflict be?


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Maybe, since they're fifteen/sixteen . . . they both fall for the same boy (only they don't realize it's the same boy). He could be a player of sorts.


message 21: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments sounds good. what about names?


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

Um, I'd rather not do rhyming names. My sister and I have rhyming nicknames, and it's annoying :P.

How about:

Ava
Meri
Isla
Alyssa
Eve
Lea

Any of those look good?


message 23: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments I really love the name Eve.


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay. Well, one of the girls can be Eve. Maybe the over can be Lea? It's close, but not rhyming. I'm thinking we could do dual narrations; that way you could write one of the sisters, and I could write the other. What do you think?


message 25: by Jen (last edited Nov 23, 2010 11:20AM) (new)

Jen | 154 comments thats sounds good. if you don't mind it would be easier for me to write through th perspective of the studious/shy/quiet sister cuz that is how i am.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

That's fine :). I'm the shy/studious type as well, but it might be fun to try something different. You can be Eve and I'll be Lea. Does that sound good?


I'm getting off for now, but I'll be back in about two hours. When I get back, I'll post a character profile thing I found that will help us define the girls.


message 27: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments okay. i'll look for some guys names


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Ooh, sounds good :).

Oh, and I like love triangles, so maybe the studious sister could have a guy friend who is in love with her, but she doesn't realize because she has her eye on the jerk?


message 29: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments PERFECT :)


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha. Great. I'll talk to you later, then :).


message 31: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments BYE


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Back :).


message 33: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments Do you like any of the following names(srry i'm not to good with original names):
~ Brendan
~ Devan
~ Dylan
~ Liam
~ Evan
and i could probably think of others if u dont like them...


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

Hm...I like Brendan, Dylan, and Liam :). Those are good.


message 35: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments okay. quick question about the twins-- identical or not?


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Um...identical could cause some drama if the outgoing/slightly devious sister tries to impersonate her sister ;).


message 37: by Jen (last edited Nov 23, 2010 04:22PM) (new)

Jen | 154 comments wait is that yes or no?srry


message 38: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha. Identical. Let's go with that. :)


message 39: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments okay. have u thought about what u want them to look like?


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, I'm a very visual person; so I tend to like finding pictures of actors/actresses. I'm not that big of a fan of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen; but they would be a good pair. They look a lot alike (though they're actually fraternal), and we could use a picture of them from a few years ago, when they were about 15-16. Does that sound okay?


message 41: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments hmm i'll think about it. i'll search for other possibilities now tho.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

Sounds good. Those are just the only twins I could think of off the top of my head. I'm open to other possibilities :).


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, they would definitely work :).


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep. I think they'll be great.


message 46: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments okay. srry it took me really long to look through a bunch of pics, but i really like them. okay now i will work on Eve's profile. Oh, what should their last name be you think?


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, here is a profile I like to use when starting a character:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Family: Mother and father
Personality: Passionate, strong-willed,
Social Status (Geek, Jock, etc.):
Interests/Hobbies:
Occupation:
School:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Special Abilities:
Nationality:
Conflicts:
Love Interests:
Enemies:
Friends:


As for last names . . . Eve and Lea:

Mason
McDonald
Daniels
Sanders


I'm not really good with last names. You can pick :).


message 48: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments hmmm...ummm...(i hate last names too)... either mason or sanders i guess. i'll think a bit. and i am really sorry but i gtg now. have a good night!


message 49: by [deleted user] (new)

You, too. Bye.


message 50: by Jen (new)

Jen | 154 comments Hello Candace. I was just thinking maybe it would be best if we collaborated on this project after the holidays. i am not on as much any more during this time because i am always so busy so i just thought it would be easier. let me know what you think, thanks.
