Thanks reapermum for the ideas/suggestions to help in resolving my current problems with story three...
Unfortunately I couldn't use them for the current storylines because I've already got a general plan for the stories. (which currently number six!). i.e. I know who needs to be where and when
But I'll definitely keep those ideas in mind for further stories.
It's getting ridiculous, since I'm working concurrently on three thru six, but I'm more focussed on trying to get three finished now, even though four is more finished than three...yipes!
I can't seem to get them to end...
I really welcome any comments and suggestions since I'm new to fanfic writing.
Let me know if there are things which don't appear to work or are confusing...
