CL grown up

Thanks! I'll think about it, although what I'd really want to continue is "The Outlaw"... ^^;

"Into The Eye Of The Storm" carries just the right amount of menace in it. Good title!

Please do give it some consideration. It is such an eloquently written story, and its plot has inspired my curiousity, unlike so many other storylines. (No offense to other writers; my own taste is to blame)

Thanks! I thought long and hard about that title...
Now I'm thinking long and hard about my plot. I would prefer to have the whole thing pretty much thought out before writing.

I had a question about point of view, and I thought I might as well post it here, since it pertains to my "CL ten years from now" story... Anyway, I was thinking about what point of view to write my story in, and I can't come to a definitive conclusion. Is it better to write alternating chapters from different characters' points of view, or is it better just to go all the way with third person omniscient?

I hope I haven't bored everyone with my aimless contemplation...

First person works with Huckleberry Finn, Holden Caulfield, Little Alex and Phillip Marlowe, but I've never used it and it might be tricky, especially if there are plot elements that the narrator doesn't know about...

I'd suggest writing in third-person omniscient. I tried a first-person story a while ago, but I royally screwed it up by switching PoVs too much. In one of the six chapters, I switch PoV probably around ten times or so (in about 1000 words). As long as you keep up with your alternating every chapter idea, it should work though. I wrote it before I was very experienced with writing.

Back on topic, I actually wrote a grown-up fic a while ago, though it focused more on the kids of the gang, rather than the actual gang themselves. It was called "Living Up To A Legend." Most of the story is okay, but I finally got the hang of writing well near the end of the story. You'll notice the sudden jump in quality if you read it.

It's actually the sequel to the first story I ever wrote, which I finally got around to redoing a couple months ago. Now I'm about half-way through the redo. It's a fic that combines several overused plot elements, such as an OC coming and falling in love with Odd, getting Lyoko powers/outfits/vehicles in the real world, etc. The rewrite is soooooo much better.

I'll stop now, before I ramble on too much.

No to be mean, but the fanfic is poorly-written.
