I often catch myself thinking about characters and wondering about what they might do if... and that isn't very far from the fantasy of writing it down.

I love it! <br /><br />I've been watching episodes of Roswell, a little remembered TV show about teenage aliens from the early millennium. One episode has a retired army general telling about the crash of 47, and in the flashbacks, all of the roles are played by the actors who play the regular series characters. It was a really fun episode to watch. But I digress. Do your project!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754229648422848542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-63133658747481208092014-07-12T17:23:45.743-04:002014-07-12T17:23:45.743-04:00I'm sorry, but fan fiction has to be written b...I'm sorry, but fan fiction has to be written by a fan, not the actual writers. Therefore, I will reluctantly volunteer for the hard task of going to Key West to do research for that fun sounding story that brings all the characters together.<br /><br />Of course, you are willing to fund such a research trip, right? ;)Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20154772737759509542014-07-12T16:55:45.015-04:002014-07-12T16:55:45.015-04:00Julia, the Key West story sounds wonderful!

And when I think of Key West, I think of Ernest Hemingway and the cats who lived nearby.<br /><br />Rhys, that idea about Molly's son meeting Lady Georgie sounds wonderful. The idea of Molly meeting Lady Georgie sounds wonderful. Regarding secondary characters, how about Georgie's grandfather, the policeman? And I had a funny thought. Wonder if Lady Georgie would meet JW's Maisie Dobbs? <br /><br />Debs, I wondered if Duncan or Gemma had a mother, aunt or grandmother who worked as a codebreaker during World War II and met Maggie Hope?<br /><br />Hank, I would love to know what they were like as teenagers.<br /><br />Susan, I could see Maggie Hope meeting Liam Sullivan, son of Molly Murphy Sullivan. And perhaps Maggie would meet some deaf people whp also worked as codebreakers during World War II?<br /><br />Hallie, wonder what Mina yetner was like as a young woman? Did she work for the French Resistance?<br /><br />All of your stories sound wonderful! How about each of you writing short stories and putting together an anthology? I would definitely read that! I also like the idea of Truman little White House.<br /><br />I was reminded of an article that Alexander McCall Smith wrote about Precious Ramstowe meeting Isabel Dahousie at a mutual friend's wedding. I enjoyed the story very much.<br /><br />~Diana<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-56857245108010097002014-07-12T16:01:33.257-04:002014-07-12T16:01:33.257-04:00SOLD!

You arranged everyone in completely plausible positions, and it's a story I'd love to read. Maybe you could bring in the Truman Little White House, first used by Truman in the winter of 1946 and previously used as the naval station's command headquarters during the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II.<br /><br />Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-76501705133882678872014-07-12T11:53:50.579-04:002014-07-12T11:53:50.579-04:00Did someone say trip to Key West?Did someone say trip to Key West?Susan Elia MacNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349842866995778987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-77119824187162927382014-07-12T10:50:34.420-04:002014-07-12T10:50:34.420-04:00This so much fun!!!!
