Okay, by opening this page you have promised to read this whole note from start to finish. I actually spent time trying to answer all my reviewers questions and they just may have asked something you want to know, so please, be kind and read them.
*~*~*~*~*
The Challenge....
Alrighty. Unfortunately, I am too busy with other stories at the moment to think up another travel story. (Although I would like to see Inuyasha's reaction to Paris...crazy drivers, snails to eat, high french society, etc.)
So, here's the deal. You write it! You can steal my first chapter if you like (highlight, copy and paste into you're word processor) and then add in you're own ideas after that. Maybe the place you live is really strange, or maybe you've taken a vacation that would spark an interesting reaction from a Hanyou...(Red light district, Amsterdam!)... or maybe you could pull something else all together. (What happens when Kagome's luggage gets lost by the airline?)
Or you could write you're own first chapter and ideas and do whatever you like. The basic challenge in one sentence is...
"Write a fan fiction where two Inuyasha characters take a trip to a foreign land, may be modern time, past time, with two characters, or all of them."
Good? Good!
P.S. Thanks for reading the story! I'm still waiting for some people to tell me what their favorite part is though. To all my reviewers...
White-Winged-Dragon: Writer of many long reviews, I thank you! It's great to hear the thoughts of the people who read your work. Not only whether or not they liked the story, but what it made them feel, do, what they hope to see out of the story, what it made them think and so on. People like you are one of the reason's I write fanfiction.
Jade-Wing: I like you're summary of the chapter. It still makes me laugh. Also, you don't know the half of how scary SOME (not all) of those men can be. I had a 60 year old mechanic hit on me like Miroku does every other girl, complete with butt rub. (shuddershuddershudder) And please don't eat yourself. If you did that, how could you review any more!! ~.^
Dark-Angel-Wings: Of course you can't understand what they're saying. I don't speak Greek. What you're actually reading (if you didn't already guess) is a combination of the words "Hello" "Goodbye" "Thankyou" "Welcome" "Please" and whatever little bits of Greek I happened to pick up from our tour guide while I was there.
Lady Priestess: I imagine that there's a bunch of these sympathy pushers over the world, in every major tourist city, and some of them can be downright low. I heard about this one lady here in Toronto, Canada. She sits on the sidewalk begging for money, shaking and claiming to have cerebral palsy. She doesn't. She has a nice apartment, food, water, and two cats. Makes you sick, doesn't it?
Queen: Muses are always inspiring me. Sometimes I wish they would just shut up and let me finish typing one story before sending me another. (bangs head against computer desk) If you knew about all the stuff I haven't written down, you'd shoot me!
Alendrum: Glad you liked it, and sorry about the beach thing. I couldn't write that in because I never went to the beach in Greece, unless you count the five seconds I stood in water up to my ankles until my feet went numb. It was march, and rather cold when I went. I stuck the beach stuff in there as a filler, because my actual trip was only seven days long. P.S. when are you going to finish Present Times, huh? Huh? I'm a big fan!
Leina: To be honest, I don't listen to Hanson, but I bet it was cool all the same. I find Inuyasha stories go to a lot of songs I've heard. My favorite is Sympathy by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Emmie-Chan: Gypsy's selling sex slaves!! Grrrrr!! I would have gone up and punched them if I had seen that. That's just WRONG!! And as for the Baklava, you and Dark-Winged-Angel will have to duke it out about that one, though I tried, I never got to actually eat any while I was there. Grrrr. ***The actual story is about Oedipus, a myth that many other stories, including Hamlet, touch on. Octopus was just a funny substitute to show how much Inuyasha actually cared about the myth. *** I don't see Kagome's parents as being untrusting or incredibly over protective of their daughter. They love her and they trust her to make good decisions. So, if she happens to choose Inuyasha, they aren't going to get all hyped up about it. I actually thought up a fic where Inuyasha comes to Kagome's time to live for good as a happy ending to the series, however, I haven't even begun to write it down yet. Sorry.
Vorsith: If Inuyasha goes anywhere, it would be either Paris or Brittany, France, Amsterdam in Holland, or Canada. Basically, those are the only places I've ever traveled to. It's amazing what a part time job at Canadian Tire will pay for when you don't have a car and your life is spent writing fanfiction on the net... ...
