You all know the pains of writer's block - and I have as well, recently, especially for "The Forbidden Trail". So, as an apology for posting so late, here is the actually conversation between myself and fellow Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys fanfic writer, Baltimore Raven.
Hope you enjoy. :)
Foxy121: I will turn you into a flea and put it in a box, then I'll put it to another box, then I'll mail that box to myself and when it arrived I will SMASH IS WITH A HAMMER UNTIL YOU UPDATE THAT STORY!
Foxy121: *IT
Foxy121: SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TURNED ME INTO!
Baltimore Raven: Uh... Yzma?
Foxy121: YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.
Foxy121: And atomic prexy monster.
Foxy121: *autocorrect monster.
Foxy121: ...
Foxy121: (Facepalm)
Baltimore Raven: This is just getting creepy.
Foxy121: Let's try this without typos/autocorrect fail.
Foxy121: I will turn you into a flea and put it in a box, then I'll put it to another box, then I'll mail that box to myself and when it arrives I will SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER UNTIL YOU UPDATE THAT STORY!
Baltimore Raven: I hope you realize that Caranath has already brought out a two-by-four and is threatening to break out a sledgehammer.
Foxy121: I did see that. It was a good idea. AND someone joined my mob, I forget who.
Baltimore Raven: I should run for my life, shouldn't I?
Foxy121: Yes. Yes you should.
Foxy121: Oh DERNIT.
Baltimore Raven: What is it?
Foxy121: *I* just realized that I haven't updated The Forbidden Trail or my Despicable Me fic. In forever.
Baltimore Raven: FINALLY SHE ADMITS IT!
Foxy121: (Runs)
Baltimore Raven: AND I believe you killed off Dave in the previous chapter. Ha. Ha.
Foxy121: (Covers head and cowers in fear)
Baltimore Raven: I will turn you into a flea and put it in a box, then I'll put it to another box, then I'll mail that box to myself and when it arrives I will SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER UNTIL YOU UPDATE THAT STORY!
See, I can do it now, too.
Foxy121: BUT (dramatic pause)
Foxy121: I still have a hammer.
Foxy121: And I know all your ticklish spots.
Baltimore Raven: Well.
Phooey.
Foxy121: And I am not a white belt such as yourself
Baltimore Raven: I HAVE THE EDUCATION OF AT LEAST A BLUE BELT.
Foxy121: Your point? Pfff dahling I can take you down any day.
Baltimore Raven: Oh REALLY? May I remind you of the Great Collegedale Takedown of Easter 2013?
Baltimore Raven: Hmm?!
Foxy121: I TRIPPED AND THE MATRESS GOT IN THE WAY OF MY FACE!
Baltimore Raven: That's your story.
Foxy121: Innocent until proven guilty!
Baltimore Raven: You: *gets proven guilty*
Wow, that was easy.
Foxy121: That's not fair! Mutiny! Mutiny! Treason! Mayday!
Baltimore Raven: Mayday? Really?
Foxy121: Abandon ship! ABANDON SHIIIIIP!
Baltimore Raven: THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! THE SHIP IS SINKING!
Baltimore Raven: ^^^When your OTP doesn't cooperate.
Foxy121: But you're the one sinking it...
Baltimore Raven: Oh right, I guess I am. HAHHAHAHAHAHA
Foxy121: (Runs)
Foxy121: (Again)
Baltimore Raven: Well, at least you're no longer leading the angry mob.
Foxy121: *screeches to a halt*
Foxy121: We can work this out!
Foxy121: You update the same time I do!
Baltimore Raven: When are you updating?
Foxy121: I have no clue.
Foxy121: If not today, hopefully Sunday.
Baltimore Raven: Yeah... I don't think it'll be that quickly for me.
Foxy121: And why not?
Foxy121: AHEM
Foxy121: (Taps foot impatiently)
Baltimore Raven: Sorry, I'm at the eye doctor. And it's because they're long chapters that take forever to edit.
Foxy121: I COULD HELP YOUUU
Baltimore Raven: That's not exactly how it works.
Foxy121: Awwwww mannnnn!
Baltimore Raven: I'll get it up as soon as I can!
Foxy121: Suuuuuuure.
Baltimore Raven: As soon as it's ready!
Foxy121: When.
Baltimore Raven: IIIIII have no idea.
Foxy121: (Glares)
Baltimore Raven: Relax, the story effects should wear down in another day or so.
Foxy121: (Twitch)
Baltimore Raven: Won't work on me.
Foxy121: (Growl)
Baltimore Raven: Still not working.
Foxy121: (tickles unmercifully)
Baltimore Raven: Nope.
Foxy121: GASP
Baltimore Raven: What? My resilience has gone up after living with a younger sister most of my life.
Foxy121: (Snort) Yeah right!
Foxy121: I can completely incapacitate you with my tickles. This is true.
Baltimore Raven: That's true. But it won't make me edit any faster.
Foxy121: And sadly
Foxy121: Tickling over text doesn't have the desired effect.
Baltimore Raven: Nope. It sure doesn't.
Sorry guys, I know that probably doesn't belong on the fanfic website. Just a fun little "true story" behind-the-scenes. :)
