So, I promised myself I wouldn't make a chapter without any actual story, and I failed. I also wanted to post this as a challenge, but I know that won't get done, since only one or two people have done my challenges, and I REALLY want to write this.
The thing is, guys, it's summer, and so I have more free time.
I've always wanted to try a collab fic with someone, maybe. Just because I got this idea I think is interesting, and I think it has been perfectly clear that I absolutely suck at getting things done on my own.
I was watching Holes earlier, so part of this came from that, but not exactly.
Here's the dealio:
Almost a hundred years ago, an witch named Mary Elizabeth Fenton was cast out on the streets in the cold rain by a cruel Wesley Baxter, who did not know what power she held. Disgusted by his behavior, Mary Elizabeth cursed him for his cruelty.
"There will be no bright outlook for your future," she had said, "you and your children, and your children's children, and everyone after you will pay for your cruelty. The only luck you will ever have is bad luck."
A hundred years after the fact, every male in the Baxter family has been afflicted with the curse once they reached the age of fifteen, and the only way to break the curse is for one of them to show true compassion and kindness for someone less fortunate than themselves.
When Dash Baxter turned fifteen, his life started to go downhill. He tore his shoulder and was kicked off of the football team - and out of the A-List. When he finds out that Danny Fenton may be the key to ending his curse, he has to spend more time with him and his friends.
Dash must show compassion to others, which he will have plenty of chances to do, seeing as how this curse has forced him to experience life at the bottom of Casper High's social ladder.
So, it's pretty much "walk in someone else's shoes and see how unnecessarily difficult you have made their lives you big douche."
I just love stories where Dash may be revealed to have hidden depths, and where he realizes the errors of his ways. I don't know why I like the guy so much. :/
NOTE: Can of Worms and Raven are going to get done. Eventually. So will All That Jazz.
