This sounds like a fun story thus far. I like that two of you are writing it, and I'm glad both points of view will be expressed. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter. Carol

    Virgos cry but it's usually out of frustration not sadness. Lol. Thank you for this. Gretchen

This sounds off to a promising start. Like your main character, I'm a Virgo too. I've never found a lot of the characteristics of a Virgo apply to me but I do like to be in control and I get very frustrated when I'm not. I'm not a perfectionist or very organized. I anxious to see where this goes.

Lol. Oh dear, the troubles have already begun, certainly complicated by the lack of phone reception. Trying to look knowledgeable about cars ... oh yes, this story sounds like fun! (Wonder if the leopard skin outfit will help at all in the present predicament?) I am looking forward to seeing how this develops. Well done.

    Thank you, Wendy. This will certainly be a diversion from the tough life of Huck and Dewey. Neither Rachelle nor I know where this is going. Lol. And that's half the fun. Lol. Gretchen

Nice. Stranded with two women in a Suburban with smoke coming from somewhere. Call triple A. Sounds like a dilemma that is more than familiar to me. Good job. Esther

I read Rachelle's story and commented that I think this is going to be a fun project, and I look forward to following it. I like the idea of a FanStory conference in Atlantic City. Been there many, many times. I grew up in Pennsylvania, and N.J. is right next door.

Back to the story. This is quite creative and I look forward to finding out how you and Rachelle finally get to the conference.

Gretchen,
Your humorous account of this fictitious story is very well written. Did you and Rachelle actually meet outside of Fanstory. When I read Rachelle's account I was feeling sad and left out. I thought, "oh no, Fanstory had a conference where they all had fun and got to know each my other in person, and I didn't get to go!"
Gretchen, if there is a Fanstory conference in the future I would like to tag along. I have an 11 pound dog who'll fend of any intruders. (That is, unless the would-be perpetrator has treats!
So glad to have met you through this wonderful account.
Good luck with your writing!
Cindy

    Rachelle and I have never met. She and I found each other on this site. Wouldn't a Fanstory convention be fun? Gretchen
reply by Cindy Decker 3 on 26-Jun-2024
    Gretchen, I would love a Fanstory convention. Can you imagine the logistics of planing it, though!
    I like both of your accounts of this fiction.
    It sounded genuine, you had me convinced it was real.

OMG, the flux capacitor? Wasn't that the time traveling feature in the DeLorean that traveled back to the future, lol? If you had used that one on me, I would have been seriously concerned about where we were going (or when we were going)!

I'm still trying to understand this arrangement. There never was a FanStory convention, you and Rachelle are batting chapter assignments back and forth to each other in a totally made-up story. I didn't realize that when I read her piece.

Anyhoo, this was a riot, and I'm looking forward to more.
