Uh... what makes you think I'd go mary sue here? Who knows? And it was just the only logical reason I could think as to why Miss D would not allow the use of the name "Katt." [Okay...how anyone liking Katt in that way is LOGICAL, I don't know, but you get the idea].

Won't tread there HD.
So... any other challenges save MyTatuo's and your two? Anyone? HELP!

OK, so far I've only gotten three (and yes HD, your title will be able to be usable I think long term) things I have to do in this new story. The deadline is Friday, and I could use a lot more if you want a more indepth story. Or... if you want to wait a little longer, I have an M-rated story that I plan on working on for the GAH fanfiction board, and could write it up first. It's up to you, but I'd like at least a couple of more ideas so I can make this Pam story even better. (probably will be great anyway given MyTatuo's particular curveball )

I think those three are good enough for me for now...with THIS additional dialogue added: Bill: I am NOT going to eat that! Ralph: But it doesn't have tomatoes in it. Bill: But it looks like it has maggots in it. Pam: It does. That would be four challenges. As for the M-rated, if you do that, you can only post in the Lava Lounge you know... and I like the idea of these stories being visible to guests so they see some of the creativity of the members.

Me and my big mouth (now wishes she said limit two per customer on requests. ) OK, that'll be fun to add in the story. As for M-Rated... actually, no I can't put it in the Lava Lounge (but I'm not spoiling it).

Okay, Mel, here's one... you have to include something about "purple underwear."

OK, now it's getting interesting. Thanks for giving a new curveball here Lauren. Now, again the suggestions are up for grabs until Friday, then I'm going to start writing the story probably Monday or Wednesday (Tuesday's out b/c of basketball pic shooting).

Because of some stuff I found out today, I think I might hold off writing this story until week after next. That way a. there can be a few more ideas added to the challenge, and b. HD can pester me about cheating and such (not that he'll call me on contradictions and whatnot. ) So, the deadline for ideas/suggestions has been bumped back until next Wednesday, Nov. 21. After that, ideas for this one are closed so I can get my story idea together (unless the theme is decided by someone else, as Copy Katt isn't a theme, just a title. )

Since HD's suggested more than one, I'll add another, which you can accept or reject... How about the story takes place in 1986, and although it can be a story in itself, it can also be the catalyst for Ralph being discovered in the suit. The story can end with them saving a lady from falling, leading up to the scene where the president shakes his hand in "Heroine". I'm not saying it should only be a story about this discovery, but in Ralph & Bill's last real case together, we could find that behind the scenes he has been discovered, and a "test" for the hero is being put in the works, not unlike Matthew Powers did in "Newlywed Game". Remember, Bill either has to remain unnoticed, or an explanation of why his partnership with Ralph is kept secret... AND NO ONE LOSES CONSCIOUSNESS! Not a dream, not a hit on the head, not a beer buzz, not even a "oh, I stood up too fast, and my vision went gray for a minute there". (Therefore, this would be a Holly-is-canon story, so it wouldn't fit with your Aiden sequels, but does that matter for this story challenge? If so, disregard all but the consciousness thing )

(Therefore, this would be a Holly-is-canon story, so it wouldn't fit with your Aiden sequels, but does that matter for this story challenge? If so, disregard all but the consciousness thing ) That's why I added the self-imposed clause there to your suggestion, MyTatuo. I was covering all basis so I didn't get from you or HD I'm cheating. Though you're tweaking it slightly to include dizziness, it's still legit to include it in the rule. (Ruins one aspect I had though... seasickness.) No, in the case of this challenge, the spinoff series I write doesn't matter. It only would be a "can't do" clause if it was on my board. I have had a few ideas of doing a Holly/Bill team story, but haven't really had them develop beyond Holly possibly trying out for the Seoul Olympics (yes, two years later, but still... ) It's up to HD though, as usually these stories are supposed to be Pam focused. There's a risk of this story being turned into a Ralph focused story.

That would certainly be more of a challenge, making a Pam-centric story out of that. Perhaps a gov't official sees Pam pick up the suit at the dry cleaners, and follows her home. Something like that...

Something like that... Don't know about dry cleaners... as that's part of another story idea I have that doesn't require these rules.

That was a joke. I'm sure the suit is machine washable. What's the point of making a suit that has all these powers if you have to wait until Tuesday to pick it up with your blazer and satin gowns?

True... or it's like a self-cleaning oven. Either way, it'd make for an interesting story (though "My Hero" did tout with the fact that George was allergic to the washing powder that Janet used to wash his suit. Being an alien, it really caused him problems.)

All right, now that the leader of the pack (AKA HD's) back, can you make a call about the premise of the story MyTatuo suggested? That way, it's another step closer to my starting this story. Got a good idea in mind, regardless what people suggest. So far, what I have to do: No one loses consciousness (any way, shape or form), must include purple underware, must be no longer than 26,500 characters long (about 5,000 to 6,000 words) and must include the dialogue suggested. Those are for sure.
