Alright, so, as you might have predicted from the AU thread, I did something I haven't done in a long time... I started a new story on Saturday. (*gasp*)
The new working title is "Dreams of Blue Eyes," and yes, it's an AU. It will star Brian, although all of the guys will be in it, and genre-wise, it will be a big mix of everything - drama, romance, mystery, historical, supernatural, maybe some suspense.
At this point, I'm only dabbling with the idea; I doubt I'll work seriously on it until BMS is done, but if I do write some more and it seems to be going well, this is probably what I'll write after BMS.
But in the meantime, I wrote a little bit, just to see how it went, and now I'm kind of curious for an initial reaction to it, especially since this idea is by far the less popular of the two I've been considering (see the poll on my site).
So... I figured this forum would be the perfect place to post some of it to get some feedback on. Anyone who wants to read can be like my test audience LOL.
I posted an excerpt of what I wrote... not the prologue, just a part of what will probably be part of Chapter 1 or 2. It's basically the introduction to one of the characters.
Here's the link to the part: www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/blueeyes.html
I would love some honest feedback if anyone cares to read. It's not a very long part, and like I said, it's really only an introduction, but I would love to hear initial reactions. Does it have potential? Is this a character you would like to keep reading about (along with the Boys, of course)? If not, why not? Constructive criticism is welcome! I'm viewing this as a draft, and I'm posting it because I think it would be nice to get some reactions before I start working on it seriously with the intention of posting it for real. Your feedback might totally change how I think about it.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post!
