Regarding Our Previous Conversation...

Okay, I'll go first.  And I'm not even sure this is the format to follow because we've not done it before.  I'd say that posting our unfinished stories as they currently exist is one way, and I'll do that here with this one that I've had taking up space for some time.  It has neighbors, I must confess, several more that need finishing along with

Okay, I'm intrigued. Please finish this!

I like your description of jazz as Illya's "jumping off point of his dreams".

I don't see anything that needs fixing so far aside from a couple minor typos.

It is an intriguing opening - I really love the musical setting, and I'm desperately looking at the piece of music trying to guess at the clue. Is it my imagination or do the bars and the time signature not match up - is that relevant? Also, I love the fact that they have a musicologist.

Do you know what problem you were having moving forwards with it?

I'm a musician of sorts, piano, and I like to include that part of IK's talents in a story once in a while. My backstory for him is that his father was a member of the State Symphony but is caught up in the purge of the artistic communities during the 30's... This story has that bit of info...http://section7mfu.livejournal.com/175601.html
Anyway, to answer your question, I've just been a little overloaded with stuff, life... I have about four stories started that all need finishing, including this one. I think my attention is just scattered, and I need to concentrate on just one story. I have chosen this one.

Oh, that's cool....when you said that you had further bits coming into play I was wondering if you'd found yourself thinking of them all the time and so not writing the actual next section - that happens to me a lot.

Finally I'm catching up a wee bit at a time. This is off to an intriguing start! Definitely worth pursing to a conclusion. I can see where you have to fill in the gaps, but I noting in the way of suggestions for you piece. Not really sure what to offer here other than I like it.

Is this going to be a weekly offering now? I have so many fics that are underway, but not sure if I want to post any of them as I'm not ready to start another story, at least until I've finished my current WIP. Still have to write a Short Affair and PicFic for next week's challenges PLUS we have our new drabble Round Robin starting. So many stories, so little time. lol!

Please jump start this story if you can as it's really intriguing. I always love your use of the language as it has such a great flow and style.

I'm going to be working on this one. I have some other bit and pieces that just need to be tied together. What I hope is that it will prompt others to pull out the unfinished pieces, or the ones we've all begged to be enlarged upon. Lots of stories everywhere.

Sorry for my typos! Yikes.

So are we going to be doing this on Friday's...posting bits of unfinished stories for suggestions, or whatever?
