Destany Question/Answer time!

OK, since there's been some confusion to Rides Again, I'm going to try and answer some questions that have been popping up and explaining things in general. I hope this helps a bit for those of you who are going…"um…what?"


First I want to point out: there is no rhyme or reason for ANYTHING we put in plot bunnies. Most of this is "crap" we talked about during plot lines and said 'wouldn't it be funny if…' but it would never fit the plot because it's too dark, serious, whatever and we decided to put some of the 'better' ideas into, what we call, Plot Bunnies. We try to keep it as a consistent flow, and I guess jumping suddenly to a "mob theory" caused some confusion and that's where this little tidbit comes in.


Please note: I'm not trying to make anyone feel put down or what not, it's just, instead of typing out a bunch of messages, why not put one message in one place so if others have the same questions, they can see the answers here as well. I hope no one takes offense, I'm trying to answer the questions as best as possible to clear up any confusion that maybe taking away from the "fun" of the fic.

If you have a question about anything said here, message me/us or submit another review and we'll try our hardest to answer anything further or whatever comes up again. We'll start adding a q/a segment that appears before the next post to keep confusion down to a minimum. Deal?

OK, so onto q/a.


First question: Why does Speed want in so badly?

Answer: no logical answer.

Here's my explanation: Speed knows about "the mob" and he wants in because he can't be in. Ya know, you want what you can't have type deal. Kind of like when you're friends go off and join a club and then you find out about it and you want to join because you're friends are members? Make sense?

Here's what we had in mind when we wrote it: Because this idea was so random and we both were so amused by the fact the G Major employees being a front for the mob, we needed a good way to bring it up. To open it, if you will. Speed is our scrape goat and was our victim once again…per usual.


Question 2: what's up with all the bunny talk?

Answer: Both RB and I are tv buffs and when we came up with this idea, it reminded RB of an episode of Family Guy where whats-his-face (I don't watch the show myself) was in debt to the mob and the pet store was a front for the mob and the mob guy came in and asked for a "bunny" which was a gun or whatever sort because the place was being watched by the cops. We both felt this was amusing and kept the "bunny" thing up. We tried to clear it up by having…kyle? Say "I like bunnies!" to try and iterate we weren't talking about the animal. That's all that was meant by that and the back story. Hope that helps somewhat.


Question 3: Who's the announcer guy?

Answer: Not sure if you meant the new one, Ryland? But Ryland Michaels is a character RB created in her fic Moving On. She likes to incorporate him into her fics every-once-in-awhile and she pulled him in on this one as well. Think of him as an original character and there's really nothing you need to know about him besides he was a singer in RB's plot in her other fics. Hence the G Major connection.


Question 4: Why do you make things so confusing?

Answer: we never mean to make anything confusing. We just get on a roll and then forget that not everyone would know the origins of some characters or quotes. Plot Bunnies isn't intended to make that much sense. It's just our randomness coming out but we'll try to make things a bit less confusing in the end…hopefully.


Now, a question for you all:

Is the mob scenario too far fetched? Seriously, let us know. That literally came out of me asking RB what would be a good reason for Tommy leaving Jude in Date With the Night instead of the "usual" family crisis, his daughter, and what not. She got this look in her eye and I added "or the mob". At that point, we began this hour long discussion of what it would be like if G Major was a front for the mob. Don't ask me why it amused us so, it just did. Anyway, let me know in one way or another.

Hope this little segment helps clear things up a bit. Like I said, any other questions or "what the hell is this? Where did that come from?" Just ask. We would rather you ask us about it instead of staying confused.

Anywho, that's all for now. Again, I don't want to berate anyone, so don't take any of the above to heart or personally. I was trying to answer as best as I could and I re-read a few times trying to look for places where I could come off as being 'annoyed' or whatever. Just keep in mind, I'm not. I'd rather answer questions than work on my other plots since I'm currently stuck. ;D
