I agree with you!

It is sooo hard to keep track....
I mean, ya can't remember where you were reading in a fanfic then ya gotta start all over!

------------------
Jo: Nobody move!
Blair: Why?
Jo: I lost my shoe!
Blair: Well find it you barbarian!

Blair: There's a lesson to be learned here
Mrs. G: What?
Blair: I feel like that roast!
Jo: Though and shriveled?

Jo: You've proved that Eddie and I are two dumb kids leaning way over our heads with no money, no education, and no chance
Blair: Excatly
Jo:That's why it's gonna be even sweeter when we make it work
Blair: Make what work?
Jo: Ya know tonight I was gonna say no to Eddie but you've helped me realize that he's the only one I can trust and maybe we don't have anything else but we have each other

Some of the fan fics that are being written in pieces are very good, but I agree, stop writing them in pieces!!

Write the entire story, it may take you weeks or months to finish, but do finish before you post it!! "The Perfect Stranger in Peekskill" is one of the best here, but its been written in pieces for about a month, and that does get annoying.

blairw_1, you have a fabulous "fan fic", but if I see one more incomplete "piece" I'm going to go insane, finish the rest, and then post it. Take all the time you need, We'll wait.

loooking goood!!!

That's what she is doing. That's why she hasn't posted anymore.

------------------
J: Partners? You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Oh, good, Jo. We'll let you do the books!
.........................
B: I know a phony when I see one!
J: You should. You spend enough time looking at yourself in the mirror.
.........................
T: What it is.
B: What is it?
.........................
Ra: Is it what I think it is?
A: Well... if you think it is, what I think you think it is, it is what you think it is.
Ra: (confused) What is it?
.........................
J: Well, I hate to tell you this, but you're wrong. Oh, and please see that it doesn't happen again in our marriage.
R: Right. Hello, my baby, hello my darlin' (runs into door) Hello, my aching head!
.........................
B: You were a concert pianist?
R: Yeah, what's wrong with that?
B: On a regular size piano?
.........................
T: Jo, I know you're upset. I don't know why. (Jo glares at her) And I don't need to know why, but when I'm angry at someone, do you know what I do? I write and angry letter to the person that I'm mad at and then... I don't send it!
J: Oh, that'll teach 'em, Tootie.
T: Well, if I'm still mad the next day, I send it to myself. That way I'll have the satisfaction of knowing how the other person would have felt if I had had the courage to send it to them. What do you say to that?
J: Get out!

Yes, the little bit pieces of fanfic that have been posted, and there are several guilty parties, are annoying and it is hard to keep track of. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind "chapter" stories where if say one lengthy chapter a week was posted. When I say lengthy I mean at least five pages on Word where you can develop the story effectively, satisfy the reader, yet have something for them to come back to. The short little snippets just don't do it. Round-Robin fics: before another person starts another one of these there are probably at least 1/2 dozen of these somewhere on the board unfinished. Find one and finish it before starting another one!! Please!!!

TVaddict · 01-29-2001, 07:25 PM

Thank you for mentioning this again. It's really gotten out of hand. I mean, half the time they're just forgotten about and never finished. I am begging you guys, if you are not going to finish something, don't post it at all. And PLEASE try to write the whole story before you start posting. I'm getting tired of filtering through months worth of writing the same story interspersed with occasional comments from people begging you to finish. Then I have to waste my time checking the story for probably the 30th time, only to find that it has still not been added to.

JoRocks87FOL · 01-30-2001, 07:52 PM

i totally agree with you guys. i have been trying to keep track of three main ones so far.... THE PERFECT STRANGER IN PEEKSKILL
WHAT WOULDS I DO WITH OUT YOU and I'LL CRY TOMORROW....these have been getting really good, but could you please write them all at once and THEN post it?
