Island Adventure Re-Write--Please Join in :)

[zoar3]

Hi everyone,

I decided to go ahead and post this. So far, Kylie and hopefully (I just pm-ed her) Memory are on board, for taking this up. I think it would be a lot of fun and great way for us to get to know one another a little better.

Island Adventure has always been my favorite Super Special despite it's many improbabilities and the fact that IMO it was wrapped up way too easily ( ::)Claudia just happened to find a big enough, yet manageable for her and the others to carry) piece of a mirror and quickly! As I posted in the "Super Special" thread, while I don't like to wish harm on anyone, even fictional BSC friends, I truly do feel the story would have been a lot better if it had lasted even one more day. A few days could have truly resulted in our getting to read chapters by the stranded Charges their Parents, and hear what exactly the Community Center (Community at large even) was doing to aid the search.

I have Yahoo Messenger (I believe it can support MSN and possibly also AOL) it'd be great to set up a chat time for amnyone interested to come together. Any/all ideas/suggestions most welcome. Let me know and perhaps after the Holidays we can get started on this.

The Characters as written were:

Claudia
Dawn
Jeff
Haley
Becca
Jamie

From my Timeline creation, the book took place during The BSC's 3rd year of 8th Grade. My complete guess it the story may have occurred over the Columbus Day weekend.

Starts: Starts on a Friday, 9/29/89

Ends: Ends 15 days later Friday, 10/13/89

Year of 8th grade: 3

I have the specifics but they just don't post well on here due to being in Word Table Format. We can talk about that later.

Please pm me or reply on here if interested and lol here's to a our take, a fan take, on the True Adventures on 9:00 Island (or whatever title is decided on Also, to be able to include more fellow fans, (I think the more the merrier), please don't feel like you'd rather not participate due to never having written a fan fic or simply lack of tme/interest to take on. It'll need as many different takes/ideas as possible to brainstorm and generate working draft...idea and of course later on beta-readers, cheerleaders...you get the idea.

Have a good night and Happy Holidays!

Yay, a first sign-er-upper.

To start off perhaps we can each think about a few things we wished had happened, in addition to what the time frame should be. In the book they got stranded Saturday afternoon and were rescued Monday afternoon. So they spent two nights and parts of three days on the Island. What if we were to up it to two or three more nights? Claudia said there "were a million little islands," and if the storm had continued and a bit more steadily, it could have been realistic that the Search would have had a harder time to operate. Also more people would have been involved. Some thoughts.

I think (hope) I just created a Yahoo Group for us to chat/create fan fic in. I made it unlisted and by invite only, simply to try and prevent spam and non fans from joining. The Group is called
BSC Tales. I thought "Dibble Diaries of the BSC" was a bit....too cheesy...until Mal joins us that is. ;D

One question: Unless I'm not seeing it, how do I add a Chat Room feature to the Group Site? Lol, that was the whole point of it.

Send me your email address if interested in joining and I will add you.

Thank you,
Mona

can i repost this infomation to the babysitter's club livejournal Communitie so we can get more poeple ?

Great idea I really hope more people will join in. Come on, you know you ladies (and any gentleman, bsc fans out here) want to.

It looks like we are going back to original chatting via Yahoo Messenger for this since Yahoo Groups no longer supports a Chat Room. In fact, I just deleted the BSC Tales Yahoo Group.
For those of you with older computers that can't download full IM or perhaps you'd rather just not do so, there is Yahoo Messenger for the Web, all you need is a free yahoo email (possibly works with others providers as well).

webmessenger.yahoo.com/

Regular: messenger.yahoo.com/

What I like about both is the security feature of setting your controls so that only people YOU put on your buddy list can IM, you, prevents spam etc.

Just pm me your email/IM name if you'd like to join.

Trying one last time (for now) to get some more people to join in. So far: Foreverbsc, Kylie, possibly someone from BSCLiveJournal and myself. Definitely could use more fans!

To get this initially going, I would like to set a date of two weeks from now on 1/17 to start. Unfortunately Yahoo does not support Chat Rooms on their Groups and other than something paid, I don't know of any other way we could hold a group chat besides IM. I use Yahoo IM. As I've said, there is:

webmessenger.yahoo.com/

No download required, just a (Free) Yahoo email. I really think at least initially it would work better, as well as be more fun for us to live chat to get this started.

Surely there must be at least one more BSC Fan on here who'd like to help (re) write or even just share ideas on what you would have liked to have seen happen in Island Adventure. Even if you aren't much into writing or don't have the time to do so, still join to add thoughts. Please pm me your email/IM name and or post on here.

I know 2/4 of us are on West Coast time. Kylie lives in Australia. I've seen here on IM a couple times around 8pm my time...I have no idea where the person from LJ lives. Sunday 1/17 either mid afternoon around 3 or later eveing 7:30 or 8 would be perfect times for me if they'd work for everyone else. Let's get this started and have some fun.

Thanks,
Mona
