As I mentioned in post 30 - I downloaded the film Stand By Me today, over Limewire.
Emily and I are working on a novel together, entitled "Fire Of Glory."
It's actually a slight work of fan fiction, and thus, the reason why we posted it on FFN.
You can find it right here.
Two scenes from this film inspired two scenes in Fire Of Glory. The events themselves are indeed familiar - but because it's only fan fiction, we have no need for charges being filed. :)
An event in chapter 91 is inspired by a song by The Click Five, Just The Girl.
An event in chapter 25 is inspired by an episode of Dexter's Labratory.
The whole of chapter 45, I got the idea from watching a clip from Balls Of Steel.
The video above inspired this scene from chapter 38:
Dixie stopped, a look of fear spread over her face.
"Err... LG... What's that?!" She gasped, pointing at her partner's neck.
"What's what?"
"Oh... Crap!" Dixie gasped. "Don't tell me..."
"What?"
Dixie tugged her right arm out of the murky water. Several black, slimy creatures were affixed to her skin.
Dixie screamed, wading furiously towards the bank.
"Leeches!" She yelped, attempting to pull them off.
LuigiGirl's jaw dropped. "First Piranhas, now these little buggers!?" She yelled. "We've gotta get some help!"
"No!" Dixie hissed, holding out her arm for LuigiGirl to grab onto.
"Quick, get out!" She whispered, attempting to tug the blood-sucking creatures from her arms.
LuigiGirl took her hand, being pulled violently out of the water. "Get 'em off!" She cried, in fear.
"Don't panic!" Dixie said, although she was indeed panicking herself. "They'll release their grip if you just relax your arm."
"Relax!?" LuigiGirl asked. "How can I RELAX!?"
"LG...!" Dixie hissed. "Stop yelling!"
"Sorry." LuigiGirl sighed, watching the black parasites squirm along her arm. "It feels disgusting."
"I know..." Dixie winced, tugging the final one from her wrist. Both girls were now covered with red bite marks, most of them bleeding.
