thank you.. Bastian will appear.. the writing continues. I have a feeling this island is in the Carribean. Mainly cos thats where I am going in on my next holiday. Perhaps I'd better get Paul to read this before we go HAHA

[michelle handyside]

It's definitely somewhere tropical... Yeah there can be male guests there too if you like. I had toyed with that idea myself :-)

[cherie]

Of course!!! He is after all a man of many talents

[doris]

oh goody, i am so excited about this it's ridiculous!!

[joanne]

so am I.
Michelle, if all goes well And the Anya/ Jacen etc etc scenarions are all nice and tight, I have an idea for book 2, based on 'the family' with some of our characters popping in and out. It will continue our soap (so much better than Neighbours) and give us all a chance to write outside our box, we can all contribute as musch or as little as we wnant to it. Will explain more when we have finished number ! !!!There are so many/ themes/ genre characters etc to explore. I want to have a go outside my comfort Zone.
What does anyone else think?

[michelle handyside]

That idea might have legs Joanne :-) I wouldn't mind trying out something different too.

[doris]

sounds a jolly good idea to me

[joanne]

ok this is brilliant.. maybe Astrid didn't come out of her room....but then would she remember it anyway?

[doris]

actually no she probably wouldn't. She could have come out before her mystery prince arrived, whilst the door way was still open. I could work with that actually. What do you think?

[doris]

I just had another thought, full of them today lol. In the interest of interweaving the stories, should Astrid's Arabian prince be an old friend of Jacen and or Daniel? I am thinking they went to school/uni together maybe?

You see he is another guest fulfilling his own fantasy. I am thinking Arabian father, English mother, he is exploring his culture type of thing?

I am probably thinking about this too much

[michelle handyside]

Doris if you want him to be a friend of the others when go for it! Like we said anything goes on this island :-)

[joanne]

right. Astrid wouldn't remember... good that helps me. This is going places. Amd I am going to bed . Night all x

[joanne]

And Yes a friens of either Jacen (younger) or Dylan the older brother... up to you. let us know. I am getting part 3 together in my head... But.. definitely bed time

[doris]

Nite Joanne

Ok so Astrid's prince is called Rashid and he went to Uni with Dylan. They are the same age. Oh the possibilities..

[doris]

Have added some more, to tie in with all that. And now I am off to bed. Shame hubbie is snoring

[joanne]

this is SOOO GOOOOOD. I am going to have great fun in my next bit , fitting Astrids chat to Mia and Mia's 'chat' to Jacen in. ever onwards!! and yes it really is only 6.30 ish. I'm off work at the moment- dodgy shoulder which makes typing difficult, so its short sharp bursts!

[michelle handyside]

I'm here most of the day before I'm back to nightshift this weekend so I'll be hawking these boards to see what comes next as much as I can :-) I love this!!!

[doris]

I am going to have Astrid 'fleeing' her arabian chamber soon and I would love her to tumble into Mia and Anya. They are going to see her very different and wonder what on earth is going on. Is that ok?

[michelle handyside]

At the start of my third part Anya is in her room but she might pop her head out at sometime as the part goes from day to night again :-)

[joanne]

Great, As Mia is in termagent/ virago mood, she will not be meekly sitting in her room waiting for Dylan. Instead she will be wreaking Havok and stirring things up. So Astrid will only need to hear the noisre to see what is happening! Go for it.

[doris]

ok i am getting confused now, lol, is that the morning of the first night, or the second?

[joanne]

this is morning of the first night. Mia has been woken up, found that the man with Anya is the man who broke her heart, and has a real go at him. Then decided to have a go at them all. D C and J not to mention Bastian.... Sparks will fly!!

[doris]

Perfect, I can tie this in nicely. Oh what fun!!!

[michelle handyside]

Ooh I can't wait to see Mia's temper flaring. Poor Bastian hasn't even been introduced properly yet and Christophe is innocent of everything but wanting his sons happy. What is Astrid and Rashid going to make of all Hell breaking loose?

[joanne]

Ladies, may I sayeven if I do say so myself, part 3 of Mias story is getting to be a cracker. Astrid has popped her head out of her room to see what the noise was about. Mia said it was just Dylan being an asshole, so AStrid went back into her room. this is immediately after Anya and Jacen have been found to be missing and just before they get brought back.....

[michelle handyside]

Hee hee and what does Dylan think of that evaluation of him?

[joanne]

tell you when I find out. I keep getting distracted... and not just by writing

[doris]

cool, I am just about to put a bit more of Astrid's story up. It ends with her walking out of her suite and finding Mia on on the warpath. Has taken me ages to write this much. Kids are in form and I keep being interrupted, darn it

[michelle handyside]

I'm still writing Anya's bit too... I don't have the excuse of interruptions I'm just trying to make it worthy of the rest of what you lot have written.

[doris]

ok my next bit is up, tugged it at the end as it just ties up the loose ends of my second part, hope it works.
