An Ed/Ginny story. It wanted to be written so much that it preempted my sequel to "Another Place and Time." So buckle your seatbelt and prepare for launch!

I think I'm going to like this, it has the promise of lots of edge of your seat action and a romantic flare! I guess I should get busy and finish my Seaview story. : What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Actually, I don't know what sparked it! All I know is that I woke up this morning with the first scene full-blown in my head. The rest snuck in on its own. It's really an old plotline of mine from my Sheila era, but changed up a bit and personalized by making Collins the ghost. I really think it'll work great toward getting the two of them together.

It seems to fit in very well with the way I saw Ginny and Craig. Read the prologue of Silver Star and you'll see what I mean. I think you have Ed and Ginny's interaction down as well. It's a very believable beginning. I think Amelia said it best, Ed valued her. Loved the bit about her hand shaking when he left the office. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

So I'm going with it in the hopes that I can actually get these two together. They're both so damned hard-headed that I'm not sure it can be done! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars.

Posts: 990 Location: Fulton, MO Re: Fallen Heroes FDK Reply #9 - Mar 26th, 2011 at 2:12am Print Post I tried once (a long time ago) to write a ghost UFO story. It didn't turn out at all the way I'd planned, ending up as an interdimensional story instead. But this time, I mean to keep it on track and not let it go anywhere else! This story has wanted to be written for over 10 years, and I think I finally have the understanding and confidence to write it now. We'll see, won't we? The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars.

Most of your stories for that era followed a classic movie, The Code of Silence = A Midsummers Night Dream and all. (That was my fave in the Conover Saga BTW.) Is that the case for this one as well? : If so don't tell us which one, although I probably wouldn't get it anyway. Classic movies are not my strong suit, but someone else might.

BTW, I rewatched TMWCB last night ( ) to get the feel of the character for my story and realized that Ginny didn't warn Straker about Craig. It was only Grey who did that. I guess I thought you got that for your story from the episode, since it fit in so well. I hope it's okay that I used it in my story too. [pause] Is it? The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars.

This story doesn't follow a classic movie. "Time for Anny" was the only other one that did besides those in the Conover Saga. It used "The Wizard of Oz," a movie I've always hated. But hey! -- it's got the best lines! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

You're right, in the episode, it was Grey who warned him, but I have to believe that Ginny would have done the same thing, it just wasn't on camera! What do you mean, we're out of coffee!
