I'm getting ready to start Chapter 2 of my AU. I'm in a total TS mindset now, which is strange as that hasn't happened for a while. The LoC's are still coming in, which I'm incredibly grateful about, I just wish that I could lose this feeling that chapter 2 will be a disappointment. I've decided that I'm far too negative, but still that fears there.

Also I'm thinking about a plot point that I'm going to write. I'm going to cut for spoilers now, in case anyone's actually reading my story.

Okay, in chapter 2 Simon and Daryl are found. But the the chapter's going to end with Simon being killed saving Jim's life, leaving Daryl resentful and hating Jim. Now, I am going to write that, but I have to admit that writing a death scene with Simon is worrying me a little, mainly because of fan reaction. It's important to the story, but death is such a touchy thing to write. I hope I don't lose my readers

In rl my BSB videos that I won on Ebay came today and now I'm happily watching my pretty boys dancing on-screen. Yes, I'm sad lol.

Simon's dead

[patk.livejournal.com]

If you're worried about reader-reaction to Simon's dead, why not let another person near to Daryl die? His mom maybe? The boy lives with his mom, so she must be pretty important to him.

Depents whether or not you need Simon gone or only Daryl hating Jim.

Just an idea. :-)

It's a good idea but I have a specific plot that I'm going to use and for that I need Simon.

I've had a good think about it and decided that I'm just going for it. I'll warn but after that it's up to people whether they read or not.

I'll also have to stop giving my major plot points away here *g*

call me crazy but...

Call me crazy but I love reading character death - well, not Daniel's, but that's another story (never, ever make me read another story where Daniel is impaled, it made me sick, especially because it was one of the first SG fic I read, but that's another matter)... well, the one where Blair dies of AIDS was aweful too...

*frowns* okay, did I say I was all for CD? It's just that here, in that fic, it would make sense: Jim cannot not lose someone close to him, it would be Disney Stupid (but then again, they killed Bambi's mother so there). Better Simon than Blair. Don't worry, you won't lose me as a reader - you may make me cry, but that's okay cause I'm forewarned lol. As for Daryl being resentful, it makes sense, both in the story and in Daryl's personality.

So to sum it up: go for it girl, and kill Simon!

I second what Babycakes said, you won't lose you readers. As long as you don't forget to put the 'major character death' warning, it'll be all right. Plus, most of your readers will appreciate the 'real life' aspect of Simon's death, in the sense that it would be just too 'convenient' if *no* major characters died at all...know what I mean? It would be like, 'yeah, 95% of the population died that Day, but don't worry, among the 5%, you'll actually find that 100% of MC actually survived' What are the odds, you know? *g* Actually *frowns* I think we talked about that some time ago, didn't we? lol

Now,

never, ever make me read another story where Daniel is impaled

OMG *fake glare* I knew you were going to mention that story again, I *knew* it! I'm sorry about it-- I'm soooo sorry. No, really I am *bambi eyes*

well, the one where Blair dies of AIDS was aweful too

*eyes starting to fill up* Oh man *shaking voice* You *had* to talk about "In Another Life", didn't you? Do you hate me? You know what the simple mention of that story does to me... That fic was *so* beautifully written...and so fucking sad, why oh why did I ever read it? *sobs*

*looks up, all teary* I need something to cheer me up...*beaming* I know! "24/7", yeah, a good ol' bdsm story should do the trick. *takes a deep breath* All right, I'm fine, I'm relaxed, I totally forgot about the Fic That Shall Not Be Named, thanks *g*

*bows* thanks for the support on CD, love. *rolls eyes* and I'm sorry I mentionned those Horror Fics - hey, admit it, be it on the net, on mails, on phone, I hadn't mentionned them in a while lol - but they're the most striking, best CD fic I read (any fandoms)! Come on, we want fics to carry on EMOTIONS don't we? Those were awesome in that aspect - so yeah, CD can be really good.

*to Terri* Plus, this fic (The End) is an AU anyway, so you can do pretty much whatever you want, honey.

Like kill Blair? ;)

Re: call me crazy but...

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*innocent looking* well, I had NEVER thought about it, of course not, that would be too dangerous for me to mention it HERE with so many TS fan around!

*really fast* okay I thought you would kill Blair *runs away*

Re: call me crazy but...

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah we did talk about it, and you told me the same thing that does make sense. But you know me, I get all silly and think the worst. Then need you to talk sense into me *g* Poor girl, you have an ongoing job keeping me sane lol.

Did you read 24/7? After the mention of the fic that can not be named. Awesome fic but so sad...sigh. In Another Life I mean, 24/7 isn't sad. No indeed, just hot hot hot. Branding and piercing and lap position and...phew is it hot in here or something? *eg*

Poor girl, you have an ongoing job keeping me sane lol.

Don't worry...I have some good training! lol And it's my pleasure...*coughs* Not to say that you're 'insane' of course but...you know? lol

24/7 isn't sad. No indeed, just hot hot hot. Branding and piercing and lap position and...phew is it hot in here or something? *eg*

Oh please, don't get me started on that series! *fans herself* Just the mere mention of it makes me hot! *eg*

Re: call me crazy but...

[turps33.livejournal.com]

well, the one where Blair dies of AIDS was aweful too...

Oh god, In Another Life...sniff sniff. I bawled my eyes out reading that. It's one fic that I couldn't stop reading but it was tearing my heart out while I was doing it.

I like CD sometimes too, when I'm in the mood I go to 852 and read all the CD that I can find and have a good cry.

In relation to the fic, I am going to kill him off, it's important to the story, and you're right. It would be highly unrealistic for everyone to survive.

So to sum it up: go for it girl, and kill Simon!

Lol, I knew there was a reason that I liked you so much. That comment rocks!
