For those interested in outlining and discussing specific ongoing storylines.
Sometimes simply using the comments area to refine a story's plot, sending private messages to co-authors to discuss characters, or updating the author guidance with setting information isn't quite enough.
If you have an elaborate, complex tale — be it solo or collaborative — come by the Planning & Brainstorming group to storyboard, outline, annotate, draft, and discuss your work's plot, characters, setting, history, intrigue, or anything that comes to mind.
Please try and keep all discussion topics you create centered around a single work!
Note: The intention is to move all story-related discussions in this group into "Story Wikis" (a new feature, currently in planning) down the road, so please use this group instead of posting new works to discuss backstory/characters/story meta-information.
@Spook Maybe you should have the Nurse changing the dressings on his chest wounds. That could be painful, but also a procedure they can do while he's awake.
@ Moon Wow, I didn't realize how big an island you were talking about. I'll have to go fix my chapters. Being a hospital I'll go with Morgan's stuff being in the room next to Ash's then. I imagine they'd be in private suites with showers (correct me if I"m wrong Moon, it is your island).
Let me know and I'll massage my chapters.

Yep links can be formed between anyone who knows and doesnt hate or is compleatly indefferent to you. Most Faeries cant uild a link with someone they've only spent a little time with unless they happen to be extreemly practised.
Morgan however can =D.
This means she has a link to Gloria aswell I'm guessing?
Morgan's just now coming into her powers (good thing she met her Dad on the Bus). Ash is her first link, which she created out of necessity to keep him alive. She's still not sure exactly how she did it, or even if she could do it again.
Even with her Dad here to explain things to her. A lot of what she can do will only be discovered through necessity. Morgan thinks she knows her limits, but she is continually under estimating herself.

Naw, don't worry, Ash'll go along with any topic of conversation... I'll lend tips if you get stuck ;D
Just remember he's trying to make fun of the situation to keep his mind off The Question.... and he probably won't want to discuss that for a while yet.
AND: Plot Thought
What if the Van Helsings are experimenting with breeding to try and breed the best hunter out there - Ash, being one of their experiments, which they concider a failure. - The baby (from Serean's death scene) is another experiment. I'm thinking that maybe there is Elven or Faerie Blood in one or both of them, unless you guys can think of another non-human race to throw in there.

No. must focus. Compare the use of iambic pentameters in shakspearian sonnet form to Jhon donne's the Flea and THEN catch up grrr. Stupid school.
Hehe well A its up to you to decide about the link between Gloria and Morgan. They can be formed through a strong freindship unintentionally but I think your right. She didn't really even know she could make them on the bus.
Gosh she still has alot to learn from mike then.
Theres the whole nature side of it that all faeries have and of course they have to find Morgans own tallents

Then again, this has been full of so much wierdness I doubt ANYONE can be shocked any more.... XD
And... ME LIKE PLOT THOUGHT VERY VERY MUCH!!!! Good plan, I could very happily run with that... (great, all the more reasons why my life sucks *groan* - Ash)
Back tomorrow guys, Karate lesson now, Bye!
He knows that Mikes morgans father i think but not the faerie thing xx

I can picture Spook cackling in delight at this devilishness while Ash just moans and groans at his horrible misfortune of a life. At least Ash has got Morgan.

I'm trying to write my next post now, but have been against a block. I think I may have had a breakthrough while folding the laundry. We'll see how it goes after the kids are in bed.

Okay I do have some thoughts like:
Ash might say, "Are you going to dance for me?" (because Morgan's wearing the skirt she was wearing in the dream) Which causes a little exchange and he manages to make Morgan giggle, which make him smile and laugh but that hurts his chest, then Morgan reaches over and takes his hand to soothe the pain...
My current Ash reaction is "What'd you do, magic?" to which Morgan eventually replies "Yeah, Faerie Magic." Then he calls her "Morgan le Fey" which makes her cringe (childhood teasing memories, if you don't remember from the bus) - not sure of Ash's reaction here - then I'm half tempted to have that IV bag fall on him again - Morgan will put it back up (by leaning over Ash) and ends up losing her balance. In an effort not to fall on his chest, she ends up with her hands on either side of his head, her face close to his. - then a nurse comes in and interrupts the moment and Morgan goes to her room to sleep - perhaps Ash asks her to dream of him, or something.
Any thoughts or comments would be well appreciated. Now i"m off to lunch.
