Oh, and one other thing, your timing, SadArticle, was marvelous! I got you in on the lastest Masterlink update at the Knight Foundation. (I think, still trying to figure out the logistics of freeserver's newest thing of..maybe I will upload...maaaaaybe not)

Catcher's mitt ready and waiting for any ideas you wish to throw in my general vicinity, Knightimmortal!

That's the main problem I have - I can come up with 'beginnings', no problem, but middles (development) and endings always manage to throw me for a loop.
I focus too much on the characters, and forget about moving the story along. Even 'Snow Cover' took eons to finish, as Knightshade will testify to. But my love of the characters is what guarantees that I keep producing little scenes, or ideas for stories that never seem to graduate beyond 'plot bunny' stage.
I have a few stunted chapters wedged in the pipeline, but any fully fledged ideas would be a large leap in the right direction.
And as Garthe Knight touched on, I'm a purist when it comes to Knight Rider - even so far as to exclude RCD3 and SPM (I won't type my reworked definition of those initials

) 'Minor' original characters are of course necessary in larger fan fiction stories, but I tend to keep towards the 'main' team of Michael, Kitt, Bonnie, and Devon as my 'template'. It's a decision that is probably hampering my (ahem) 'creativity', but what else is fan fiction there for, but to pander to certain personal requirements?
Two fan fiction additions that I love, however, are Gryph's KARR, and his driver. No idea why, they just seem to 'blend in' with the Knight Rider team.
