Forgive me while I wig out (again) about my Big Bang

[ratherastory]

This story is fighting me every step of the way. Remind me never to write RPS ever again. God.

Also, I had a horrible, horrible doubt assail me yesterday. Some of you know by now that I'm doing a J2 retelling of Avatar (the blue alien one, not the other one), but it occurred to me FAR too late that unlike most RPS authors I kept most of the

Whatever you like and whatever works for your story should be the way to go. I think it's quite all right not to have other CW cast members in the story. Jared and Jensen are always enough for me (well, mostly--LOL!)!

I'm really curious about the story now. I can't wait to see how it all works together. I must admit, I haven't seen the movie, but I think I know enough about it to enjoy your story.

Good luck with revisions and such!

P.S. You and another fave author of mine are posting on the same day! It'll be like Christmas and Halloween wrapped together! Totally excited!

Okay, good. For a second I got really worried. Because I don't have enough to angst about for this Big Bang, it seems. :P

Who else is posting that day? I kind of got tunnel vision checking for my posting date. ;)

[dante_s_hell]

A fllisty of mine, abeautifullie3 is posting that day as well. And mollyamory is posting that month! July is going to rock!

Cool! I am looking forward to all the stories this year! \o/

Is your story that close to the movie that you can keep the character names the same? I mean, usually with RPS fusions, I only see the names changed to specific actors if the author has altered the character personalities to match something closer to what the actors are like. Granted, RPF isn't exactly my area of expertise, but if you story is that close to the original movie, where only the two leads are really any different as characters, I can't see a reason why it would matter.

[ratherastory]

Yeah, my story is pretty close to the movie, with added bits and some of the underlying backstory significantly changed. It's mainly the two leads that I've changed, the other characters are the same.

Breathe. You write good. Stop worrying.

I've never written RPS so I can't help you on that, but I just wanted to stop by and cheer you on, bb!

[ratherastory]

Ooh, Eliza, I approve. :D

[janie_tangerine]

I don't think it matters, really, especially if you have kept characters other than Jared & Jensen close to the original rather than changing their characterizations to suit whichever CW person you'd put in their place. (and hey, you have time! You'll do great, good luck with the editing!)

[ratherastory]

I hope you're right. I kept all the other characters very close to how they were in the original movie, so hopefully no one will mind.
