  • About how much time do you think it will be before the redone Summer's Story actually begins posting?
    Sounds like the opposite of my week, but they both sound pretty awesome :D

    then next month on the 4th at night is our Bible quiz meet, on the fifth in the morning is the NY quiz meet (which means we get up at 6:30 again) then in the evening is the Skillet concert, then on the next day is an extra long play practice. long weekend :D
    Just remember: my not SHOWING much interaction between Alipang and Summer was never supposed to mean there WASN'T much contact between them; I was always just leaving you elbow room for the scenes you would want to invent.

    While I'm thinking of it: at Smoky Lake East's Homecoming in fall of 2008, Kim ONLY went to the football game with Alipang, not to the dance. The game was against the Plattford Cavaliers, and East High's Falcons won.
    The title is a casual suggestion. I'm far more concerned about your story and my story being ONE story when taken together. If it helps, I'll put off writing more of my own for a bit, while you get going.
    If you plan to start fresh, then here is my recommendation:

    Set up a second window to keep on hand as you begin to re-read "Alipang Havens." In this extra window, make notes of each point in time where you definitely want to coordinate something in Summer's experience. Combining this with what I already provided you, you should be able to produce a story which is its own story, but ALSO blends with mine.

    This may sound like work, but trust me, it's worth it. If you were to say, for example, that Summer's father died six months after his injuries, whereas my story had him still alive all the way through, it would be a jarring note. With consistency, a reader won't have to "choose between" the two histories of Smoky Lake.
    Unless you are simply discarding past efforts and restarting from scratch, you should bump the Summer's Story thread back into view, so people will be reminded of it as you enlarge it.
