Yep that was the reason I didn´t go(I thought about it...but realized I didn´t have all that passion...at least not as much as I loved history^^
Btw...I just downloaded the 4th part of True Romance...I´ll start reading it tomorrow...
Oh, and thanks for sending me that Exiles reference...The publishing of it here is so confusing I can´t make much sens of the whole thing, and again tomorrow I´ll check out that fic idea you sent me...I want to do it very carefully...But yeah, we should make a challenge out of this...But I´ll see about that later...Right now I´m more interested in making small talk here^^

You left off at the scene at Catherine´s...I´m reading little bits of that fic idea(is open on my pc right now)and I´m tempted to do something with it...But you know me: I always bit off more than I can chew, so I have to be carefull...Maybe I´ll make a one shot related to this...While I don´t have any inspiration for "Amazing Grace" (Listening to Billie Holiday galore to try to get in the mood..."I´m a fool to want you" playing right now)

(i don't know if that's the same era but the same style) poor ace- i forgot about that dumb rule they have on ff.net- i had to wait for the g/s group's stuff too- it's hella annoying

Well...you have lady hands...so you draw lady lines...would you rather have man hands?
I like lady lines...I like any lines that are straight...they are like magic to me...I can draw a straight line about as well as I can pull a quarter out from behind your ear.
Sugar?...I like sugar
Jazz standards...Nina Simone all the way
Try for "Peel me a grape" maybe not an Amazing Grace vibe--but it's a fun one

I´m gonna use a Nat King Cole song in one of the chapters, probably the last one...I also found this great site with early jazz music that has been coming in handy: www.redhotjazz.com/But Billie Holiday serves this story better than anything...sad, sweet, heartwrenching...I still don´t know what the ending will be(I have two in mind), but this story WILL turn dark and bluesy...

Thanks for the sugestion, Ace...
The sugar thing was about a fic idea, Bastet sent me...For Exiles Oreo...Maybe we´ll make a threat for it here...I noticed this board has like 4 pages and there aren´t many challenges yet(I saw the ones Bastet posted, but I was like "I can´t do it"...I mean "Me neither, let's talk about cheese."? I was laughing just to read it^^) I´ve been thinking about putting on "What if?"s like "What if...when Gambit met Storm she wasn´t de-aged?"...

Amazing Grace is like ribs...let me explain myself further...
It is sweet, smokey, meaty, tasty and it takes a long time to cook.
mmm fic and food

you could even offer the alternate ending... i've seen that around a bit.
I don't want to cry too much though, but it can't be helped if it's the better ending.
I know I mentioned this but I feel dorkier and dorkier over the OreO stuff making me mushy. (I was always a big Tom boy). Then I got married. I don't regret marriage but it turned me into a wuss- lol.
Ace- what stories you going to post first? Just all in? You and Macbeth could post your Halloween collaboration this year too

Ohhh that's a nice idea...I've read one or two really darling fics like that back in the day...What If' can make for some pretty fine ficcage.
Oh, and that first challenge...I have ideas...going a little mid-90s with it...some Kevin Smith "Clerks" style Mini-Mart madness.

(and I got all those quotes from actual people I know, I kept this page of quotes from my friends in high school, it proved its worth with that challenge). Those are the kind of challenges though- like altering history or presenting a box for the author to stay in because it stretches the muse to comply (as well as makes you do the whole Rocky climbing the stairs thing when you're done). You should post that "Apply the X-men to a famous literary work." I wanted to, but I already posted 2 challenges and felt like a dork if I kept going.

I'll shed some tears if it's for a good cause...
I suppose I'll post a couple of the shorter ones first...have to pace myself though...I only have what? 4 or 5 fics?
Ohh man...it is creeping up on Halloween time

Yeah...the Haloween fic! Remeber that Ace? We could put it in the Gambitandstormgroup account...If Bastet would be kind enough to do it...
Bastet, is okay to me mushy over Oreo...if you don´t tell anybody, is just like it never happened^_~ Anyways there are some fics out there that do that to you...is not just because is a fic it can´t be touching, right?
I will put the two endings...But I have to warn you, there will be some serious angst in this fic.(well there is already)..Don´t hate me...
Oh, great Ace, now you made me hungry....
