Um... *gulps* I haven't even introduced half my ships yet! So now I'm extremely curious over who you are shipping together.

Aha. *nods* That's not canon, so.....XD
(I ship Chelsea with Philip, if I'm being quite honest....and Cedric and Elisabeth, although I think that one /is/ canon, isn't it?....and Bobbi and Clint. *nods*)

Yet. It's not canon yet... Yet being the most important word in that sentence ;P
Hmm, interesting. My sister ships Chelsea and Philip, too. And yeah, Cedric and Elisabeth are technically already canon (though I think somebody needs to tell them that XD). *nods* A lot of people seem to like Bobby and Clint, except for my brother who I based Clint off of. He hates Bobby and doesn't want the guy made off of him anywhere near her.

I'm so worried now. I'm way too attached to Chelston to re-evaluate. O.o

Personally, Bobby was my favorite character when writing the second book, so I'm interested in seeing how she develops while I edit it. Well, favorite character tied with Easton, of course. Easton is always my favorite character XD

To refrain from spoilers, I won't say what I think of Chelsea and Easton as a couple, but both Philip and Easton were getting me pretty aggravated when I was writing the beginning of the third book so... I love the banter Clint and Bobby have :P

Also, if forever is what it's got to be, then that's as long as I'm going to have to wait XD

Mwahaha! *grins evilly and sits back steepling fingers*

I'm working on getting the second book written! I won't say much, but I'm sure it will make Chelston shippers very happy... and break their hearts in half. *chuckles like a maniac*

Thank you ;P XD
Well, I might change my mind when I read the actual story and see how the characters act around each other, but until then they seem like the best couple.

She's talking about her own Peter character, lol! And YES, Peter is awesome! Better watch out for him. :D Though I could never choose a favorite, because aaaaalll of y'all's epic characters are... well, epic. (Or they sound epic, in Faith's case. xD) I'll be on everybody's team!!
Oh, wait... I'm on my own team. *hides behind Peter Pan and Hansel and even Slightly* COME AT ME, BRO.

And here's another snippet from Dewdrops and Butterflies
We pulled into Jacey’s parking lot. “What are you getting? Joseph asked, parking the car and getting out.
“Cheesecake.” I answered. “Raspberry cheesecake and hot chocolate.”
“Apple pie for me.” He said as we stepped inside, “With Vanilla ice cream.”
“Joseph! Good to see you! Alex! Welcome!”
Joseph’s uncle greeted us with a wide smile, motioning to the bar for us to sit.
“What can I get for you boys?”
We placed our orders and Jacey went to get them.
“How have you been?” Joseph asked, spinning around in his swivel chair.
“Not nauseous until now.” I said, promptly averting my eyes from his spinning.
“Oh come on.” He said, clamping his hands onto the counter to stop himself. “No, really. How have you been?” His childish antics disappeared and the strong friend I knew him to be came out.
“Have guys you been ok?”
I nodded, leaning against the counter on my elbow. “We’ve been good. Jenni’s really been struggling since we found out about her being pregnant. But she usually relaxes when I’m home. And plus with the girls now, she’s occupied, and she loves it.”
He nodded, accepting his dessert from Jacey with thanks. “That’s really good.”
"Yeah. I’m really glad we decided to go ahead with accepting new placements. The house has been so empty, and I didn’t even realize.” I poked at my cheesecake, “It’s hard to get a moment with her alone thought, if you know what I mean.”
“Kinda.” He took a bite. “How about you? I know you’re still worried about Rose.”
I chewed my lip. “Um.. well I sorta had a breakdown in the middle of the street after I called you today.”
He stopped chewing and looked up at me from his plate. “Breakdown? Like a cry-your-eyes-out-sobbing breakdown?”
I reddened, but nodded, studying my dessert. “And sort of ran screaming through the office.”
His fork froze halfway to his mouth and he stared. “Dude. You need some serious help.”
I shook my head...
:D

SO, I FINALLY have a backstory for Josh and here's just a snippet:
After my dad disowned my older brother, the peace in our house had been fragile. I was all he had left out of a runaway wife and a rebel son.
Joshua, the perfect one.
Dad was a businessman, a wealthy well known all conservative business man, so as any smooth businessman would, he began to collect the remains of our tattered reputation with me by his side.
I felt trapped. Suffocated. I was at the end of a pointed gun held by a nervous trigger-happy lunatic, and I couldn’t seem to escape.
Perfection is easy to fake.
Big smile. Firm handshake. Confident stride. It’s all a show.
But I was never the best at staying in character.
I needed an escape, and I found it in burning liquor running down my throat and overloading my senses with drugs. Climbing in and out of windows late at night and early in the morning and sneaking off to parties became my religion.
By day I was Joshua the perfect rich all-American-boy, but at night I was flying high, I was free at least in my mind.
It was okay. I was okay.
And Dad was happy with the illusion of his flawless son, until it all came crashing down.
Rumors spread fast, and so do pictures of a popular local businessman’s sixteen-year-old son getting high on drugs.

I should get into the act, especially as Camp NaNo has gotten started. Just so you gals know, "undern" is a very very obscure word that means afternoon. (You have any idea how HARD it is to find synonyms for afternoon?!)
Anyways, here's part of a chapter I wrote today for The White Rose:
“What ho, my young liveryman!” Karsten called out cheerfully. Arnor turned around and saluted with a smile on his face.
“Did you lose something, dear fellow?” Karsten called to the curly-haired lad.
“Indeed, good Prince Karsten! My spear. I thought to beat that braggard Henrik in a javelin throw.”
“And did you?”
Arnor nodded, a grin creasing his youthful face. “By a good 5 leagues.”
“Right into the pond, I presume.” Ealdread could not keep a smile from his face either.
Sheepishly, Arnor lowered his eyes as the three laughed heartily.
“Never you worry, Arnor. We’ll find it even if it takes the rest of the undern.” Karsten joined Arnor’s side and started searching further along the edge.
Ealdread walked in the opposite direction, shouting to the other two that he was going to search the other side. After several minutes of minutely scanning the bank, Arnor grew impatient.
“It must have gone deeper. I’m going in.” With that, he kicked off his boots and stripped off his socks. He stepped into the water, manfully hiding a shiver and a squeak at the coldness of the water.
