Oh woops, did I not reply to this? I read it ages ago - I think when I first moved it into the library . Anyway, what I MEANT to say was it was really good and I love the way you get inside the character's heads. I've said it before and I'm gonna keep saying it cause you're a master

Go for it Wasn't this the same person who was hassling me for being obsessed with gay fics?? Let's see, she's picked up Ric/Drew, Dean/Luke, and now Charlie/Kim. I'm not complaining

Mine!! *waves a firey stick at everyone to stay back!!* *Puts stick down... backs away slowly and calmly...* Okay... I've decided to let this fic go. There's three other long fics that I want to revive and I may need my best Charlie material for one of those. Sorry . If you want I could try and write a B grade fic for you when I have time ?

^^I'm sure it will be great Musie, I look forward to reading your fics as well

Sarah Lewis, those paragraphs are much better . But remember, the "she said" stuff usually goes at the end of what's being said. Yep, a writing tips thread sound good, but I'm reluctant to enforce it. What I mean is, if we write these tips, we shouldn't abuse people for not following them. Although it's easier to read fics when they're set out properly, if a writer isn't used to it they can spend way too much energy obsessing over getting it right and lose interest in the fic. Which would be bad, I think... Hopefully people will want to help out their readers by taking some notice of writing conventions though. As for that Charlie fic, I'm in the middle of writing a Crash chapter right now so it could be a while. I actually have a couple of pages written already because I wanted to do a fic like this myself ages ago, I just never got around to doing it.

Hehehe, thank you. Glad you liked it

Mine!! *waves a firey stick at everyone to stay back!!*

Yep, sure

Can I make a formatting suggestion?: “Rachel, where are you?” Kim yelled out. “I’m in here," Rachel replied. "Tasha came over before and asked if I’d look after baby Ella.” “Why, what’s she doing?” Kim asked. “She had to go to the city," Rachel replied happily. "Josie wanted her for something “ “Oh ok.” “You don’t sound very happy with it.” “No no," Kim said walking into the room, "I’m ok with it, I was just asking!” Rachel picked up Baby Ella and gave her to Kim. “She’s so cute, isn’t she Kim?” “Yeah, she is," Kim said with a smile on his face. "She looks just like her Mum.” “I wish we could have one of our own!” “Hey we’ve talked about that babe, we can adopt” “But its not the same," Rachel replied. "I want one of our own!” You should start a new line when someone new starts talking, and the "he said, she said" stuff normally goes at the end or in the middle of what is being said. When it's in the middle of the dialogue, you can work out where it's meant to go by reading it out loud, and where you take a break, like at the end of the first sentence, that's where you put the "she said." This sort of stuff just makes things easier to read, otherwise it can get a bit confusing as to who's saying what. It sounds like a good start.

Hehe, I'm glad. I wasn't sure what you wanted, and I was thinking of going for an affair of some kind, but I couldn't think of any way to write it that I believed in. I got as far as thinking that Cassie might make a move on Peter, seeing him as some kind of hero... but I couldn't see him taking advantage, and none of that felt necessary for a oneshot. Maybe that's a sequel for another time

what kind of a plot has no problems? or do you just mean no *serious* problems?

Damn it, that sounds interesting... I don't think I have enough background on them to be able to dive right in though. It could take months of research :| Perhaps someone else should do it...

Hehe, this one doesn't have to be angsty if you don't want. It's all good

Hooray! I'm glad you liked it

Thanks guys . Inspiring, eh? *blushes*

Ah yes, well that was mainly for Jess' benifit. That fic was her idea from the request thread. Sorry, I forgot to mention that when I posted !

Tainted Muse, your fic awaits...

I think that may have been a bit more... um... romantic and happy than what I was looking for, but it was still a fun read. Nice work. Thanks for that Oh, and I like the title!

Okay, two pages in. This is my favourite chunk so far: Peter reached into his pocket, making his opponent flinch. Macca lifted his hands from his sides to remind the detective that he was unarmed – as if his hands themselves were not deadly weapons. A tantalisingly cruel taste of what ye shant have for at least another day or two. I am evil.

Alright, cool. I'll take that then. I don't think I've ever written either of them before so this should be... different.

Peter "taking care of" Cassie - is that open to interpretation? I may have a go at that. It sounds interesting. Not like I'm supposed to be writing a fic chapter that's been on hold for over a month or anything And yeah, angst is definitely what I was going for with Drew/Ric.

Oooh I get two versions! Sweet Since you're all so keen, I've had another idea that I've been kicking around for a while, but I don't think I'll get around to doing it myself. This idea's a lot simpler: Pairing: Lucas/Dean Summary: Dean comes back to Summer Bay after Gareth's acting carreer takes off in the city. He's glad to see his friend Mattie again, but she's not the reason he came back. (See pairing ) "Wishes on stars don't just come true." Criticism is good. My writing teacher reckons you have to have a touch of OCD when it comes to editing

That's fine. I just read one of your other fics, and if this one's anything like that, it'll be worth the wait Thanks for taking it up!
