As some of you know in one of the threads the idea has come up that we have a challenge involving song lyrics for fic writting. The poll is to decide the song lyrics used for the challenge. The highest vote wins. That way its not just one persons choice. The poll will run for a week. Then we'll have a month to write the story. The Challenge is; To write a story theme inspired by the lyrics this can be a single sentence to the whole song. The section of the song that inspired your story needs to be shown at the begining of the story or scene. The song can be used in other parts of the story to enhance your theme. Lenght; From 500 words. That way anyone who feels they can't write a full story can pick a moment in time from their inspiration. I hope this is a fun challenge and it will be interesting to see what the stories that come out of it. I'm attaching links for anyone who wants to read the lyrics to decide in their choice of song lyrics. I also need to know who's participating. Thanks from Ebony....

I want to give it a go and participate!

Thansk FB, If its tie with a few songs I'll do the poll again with just those ones to narrow it down.

I'll vote, but only as long as it doesn't warrant my having to write a story!!!!!!!!!! ETA: (darn, darn, darn... Too late. Danger Zone is haunting me and I'm already getting an Eagle story/image in my head... I'm outta here before a full-fledged plot forms!)

Its hard to chose! Hino I don't mind you voting even if your not writing a story. It anonymous anyway to poll.

Hey Hino vote and run is fine, really it is though would be interested in that story at some point even if its not for the challenge

what a fun idea! I'm interested to see what song wins the poll.

It looks like theres three contenders for it so far...(songs)

The poll is closed now and it looks like there's a clear winner from the votes. The song is " Danger Zone" Kenny Loggins. Just post the ficcie when its done for anyone who wants to participate. Cheers Ebony.

So having a good day I wrote a ficcie and posted it over at teh fanfic archive, as soon as it shows up Ill post the link. I was even good and wrote some more for Journey, heh guess my muse decided to visit today

Congratulations FB. I wish my muse would pay me a visit again. I have missed her the last few weeks not prodding me to sit and write.

FB it sounds like you're on a roll! I'll have to go and check out your additions.

Stil waiting for them to appear over at the archive soon as they do I promise a link. My response to the challenge is titled Twilight Wishes Also on the list to be authorised here. Only a couple more chapters until Journey is finished then it will be final part of the series.

I know my plot for the challenge. I don't have a name for the story yet. I'm hopeless when it comes to naming ficcies!

Twilight is up here but not yet at the rchive. Journey howeve is upa t both if interested here it is There is at most 2 chapters left in this series before it goes to the final part "Into the light". Still trying to work out where to go with Beginnings just now but haven't forgotten it I promise.

Jason's more involved than I thought, but I love how you wrote his character in that chapter... I can't wait to see what happens, if there's a falling out and thats when she hasn't seen in him for so long when she's waiting at the cafe... My writing update; I'm not far from finishing "Tangled web of life series" It feels like forever since I started writing it. Reconciliation has a few chapters to go but hopefully it'll be done soon. I've posted just over half if it. and it has recent updates.

FB, I love the latest chapters you added. (At least some how I had missed the last three.) Princess is continuing to grow and heal and now Jason is being brought back to the mix. I would like to know why he just happened to be driving along that road at the same time though. Makes me wonder if he was going to visit Princess. Hopefully the rest of the team will return shortly and we can see the family connection they have. (Or are you planning on continuing this into another part?)

CD I think he was in the car behind them in the previous chapter...I'd have to go back and check since I read it a while ago.

No Ebony she wrote Coming from the opposite direction was an all too familiar vehicle, Jason?s car. And it was in the same chapter. They were coming from Head Quarters. Maybe what I have wrong is their Head Quarters is also the same as the G-Force head quarters so that would mean Jason was heading there, while they were leaving. I have been thinking their head quarters is different from the "Base" I think of as G-Forces head quarters. I have been thinking Princess and Sean are PART of the military where-as G-Force are independent of it, so the two teams would would not have the same head quarters.

I knew he was some where close by! I just read the last chapter this time. Not the last few.

It's Okay Ebony.... but that is why I was wondering why he was "close by" as you put it. This cat (Owl) is curious .... Why was he was driving along that road ... what was he up to? Was he intending on meeting Princess or was he following her? See I am making up my own story plots based on information FB has supplied and I am hoping she will answer the question in the next part of her story. Of course I am probably taking a very minor detail and blowing it into a larger thing I am good at doing that. I see the small things and can not see the major problems.

Nahhhh.... I just remembered he was around and there was a reason for him being there thats all.

lol What I love is how you guys put so much thought into it. To answer the question at this stage his presence on the road is just coincidence. AS for the rest of the team yes they will feature soon but lets just say things may not go smoothly which is where you will start to understand the cafe incident. I am almost done with part 17 becuse I am now on work days may have to wait a few to go up but I am hoping by the end of May to have finished Journey Some of the answers wont come until part three of the series.

Have been keeping up with Reconciliation and am looking forward to the rest of tangled also!

Just finished reading Twilight -- very nice! You are so creative how you used the song lyric FB! I absolutely did not expect that - nor the ending either. . . . now I have to find some time tomorrow to catch up on all of the other things you have left for us to read! Can't wait!!!!

Originally posted by Firebird lol What I love is how you guys put so much thought into it. Some of the answers wont come until part three of the series.

No that is typical for me.... I have to think out everything which is why I have a hard time participating in IF's - every little thing has to have a meaning. I did wonder if you were going to continue with a part three. I feel like there is a lot to wrap up in just a couple of chapters.

I could do it under journey but I dont want something that has too many chapters so far between journey and descent this has totalled 33 chapters with more to come. Amazing what you can do when the urge takes you. AS for the thought you guys put into it I actually find it flattering that you want to know more and take the time to ask, so thank you!

You are welcome

FB, I am very excited that you have posted more chapters! I intend to start reading it again, but I've just been overwhelmed with life recently. I promise to get to it shortly!

aww TJ I figured you'd get to the fun stuff when life lets you. Look at the plus maybe by the time things settle Journey will be done and you will have the new one to start on

I sat down with a little spare time to read Journey the other day, and quickly realized that I should start from the beginning, to better remember it all and give context to the new chapters. I got about 8 chapters in and then my time ran out. But it's on my list to come back to.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun I sat down with a little spare time to read Journey the other day, and quickly realized that I should start from the beginning,

That is what I had to do as well. I felt like I had forgotten what had happened - Your comment about the scene at the cafe FB, I remember reading that last time. But when I reread Journey this time I did not come across it. So I may have to go back and try again.

I did a heap of writing last night but not on the challenge ficcie. I'm so closer to finishing my series and was on roll so I kept typing until midnight. I just passed another major milestone in the plot. So I"m feeling really good right now... The next milestone in is the actual ending... Gosh it feels like I've been working on that series "Tangled web of life" forever. I started writing in July last year, no wonder I'm ready to move onto something else!

Sounds like some great reading ahead.

I second that!

The cafe scene is part of the first part of the series - Descent. Descent was more flashbacks and memories of what happened rather than being set as it happened (if that makes sense) Journey deals with the gradual healing and first meeting witht he whole team Into the light will deal with what happens from there and how we get to the cafe incident. Looking forward to having more posted on tangled web

Yes it does and also explains why I did not remember reading it this time through. I thought perhaps I had missed an entire chapter after you mentioned the scene.

firebird is your story posted elsewhere? I have problems here with the fic part. Also would there be help with the reading order? I think I had read part of this, but I know I'm way behind on it.

Archive That will take you to the archive where they are. For this series I recommend Descent and then Journey in that order Twilight is not up there yet I am going to try resubmitting.

Thanks for the order of the series FB.

checked out the your page and it appears that there really is a lot of great reading ahead.
