[Cheryl]

Thanks Robin! You too... :)

[Kelly]

Did you guys pick names yet???

I like Fiona, Olivia, Frances,
Last name Thornheart is great. I also like Clayton for a male and Harry, Fletcher, and Jake or Jack!

I am huge on names if I don't like the h/h names it is really hard for me to enjoy the story.

Can't wait to see what you fun,sexy, smart ladies come up with!

[Cheryl]

Ok today we need to vote on the name! Will everyone please post their top choice even if you already did it. Remember, the hero and heroine name do not have to come from the same suggestion!

Hero and his title name

That will be my vote too. Do I get a vote I am not a writer?

[Cheryl]

Everyone gets a vote, besides you might be inspired to write something once we get started!

I'll try to tally the votes sometime today unless someone else volunteer's, I won't be able to do it until late this afternoon.

[Robin]

I like Grayson Thornhart Earl of Winterbrooke but I also like Christian Hawthorne Earl of Ashbourne. I know we're thru with suggesting names but can I choose Grayson Thornhart for the Hero and Christine Hawthorne for the Heroine?

[Anne OK]

Grayson Thornhart, Earl of Winterbrooke

Fionna O'Connell

[Alycia]

Ditto what Anne said about the hero, I go with Heidi's heroine

LADY EULALIAH BURLING for the heroine, could call her Lady Liah for short.

I like all the name choices, so I won't vote. :)

[[deleted user]]

Do we have a winner yet???

[Cheryl]

Sorry, I really dropped the ball with this! I have been so busy lately.

Meet the hero of our story, Grayson Hawthorne the Earl of Winterbrooke, and our heroine, Fionna O'Connell!

Now we just need to start a new folder to write the story in and we can discuss it in this thread, sound good? Anyone feel free to get started, it is everyone's story and may take it wherever they feel lead to go!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Good names!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Do you mean a new thread, Cheryl?

[Cheryl]

Yep, that's what I meant! That way only the story will be there and we can make comments in here.

[Alycia]

YAY! I am ready :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You're leaving for a few days, so how do you want this to work? Do you want to wait until you're back to get the story going?

[Cheryl]

No y'all go for it! I'll be around some, I'm already at the lake! I have an iPhone and a laptop with me to stay in touch. So if you want to, go ahead and open a new thread for the story.

PS-- the lake is great! ;)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

What is the name of the story. Who wants to be in charge? Alycia, do you want to kick this off?

[Anne OK]

How about "Love Conquers All."

Have a wonderful time.

[Cheryl]

Thanks Cyn!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Is there a plot we are going to try and work around? A direction to work towards?

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I'm really liking what has been written so far. You ladies are so talented.

No, just seeing where the story is going as everyone posts.

[Lisarenee]

FYI I wasn't planning on having Fiona needing to dye her hair. I decided to weave the second most voted name (which is of an Englishman) into the story and didn't take into account that Fiona was heading to escape to England. That means there is potential for the two to run into each other later. When someone noted their distaste (somewhere in this group) for red haired heroines I started wondering what would be used to dye hair days gone by and did a little research. So I curved the story a bit. Just use your imagination. Fill in holes (we still don't know Catherine's last name or that of her husband, we don't know Fiona's eye color, we don't know what Catherine looks like, we don't know why her father wanted her to marry an old coot, etc. Just go with whatever comes to mind and add it in keeping into account what's already there to work with and have fun. I can't wait to see where this one goes. Oh and hope nobody gets upset with her using the name Phoebe. I was trying to make things mesh for lack of forethought earlier.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I like what you did. Possibility for lots of twists and turns.

[Cheryl]

Ladies I love what you are writing in the story!!!!!!!!! It is sooooooo good! I love that Lisarenee gave us options by adding a nickname and "undercover" name for England! How fun!!

[Lisarenee]

Thanks Cyn and Cheryl.

[Alycia]

It's cool Lisarenee. We did say she was heading to England and was irish but that was it!

Everyone is doing an awesome job!!!

[Anne OK]

Have we already stalled out on "Love Conquers All"?

[Lisarenee]

Add to it AnnOK and I'll follow if nobody else does. I loved what you added.

[Alycia]

I don't know what happened ladies.

[Lisarenee]

Just a thought. I don't mind trying to write a large portion of this story. Goodness knows I could use some writing practice, but what if we make it a little more challenging? What if we make this more of a story where everyone not writing the story gets to add a little something to the story as well. What if every time someone suggests something whoever takes up the position of lead writer will need to weave the other person's idea into the story at some point. So if someone were to suggest that there are 2 twins named Siegfried and Roy who love tigers you'd have to add that into the story. If someone suggests a murder be woven into the story then it must be. Get the idea? If we'd do this I guess we'd have to decide on some boundaries as to what couldn't be added in like could the story cross over into paranormal or do we stick with strictly a historical romance? I'll probably not be able to do anything for a couple of weeks due to an upcoming vacation, but I do hate seeing this story just hanging. Any thoughts?

[Alycia]

I'm up for it. Why don't you take the role of lead writer, Lisarenee?

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

Sounds like a great idea
