Way back when I first started writing stories I got an email from a fan asking if I wrote custom stories. When I told him it was something I would consider he began giving me an idea for a story about his favorite actress. So I agreed to write it for him.
She had a movie coming up and he wanted to base a story on the set of that movie. So we began talking and I began writing. It wasn’t long until a story began to take shape. It also wasn’t long until we both realized that I can get rather long-winded as the story I was working on kept getting longer and longer.
I finally finished it and got it posted. But for him it was like eating potato chips. He was so pleased with the story that he could not help himself and we began chatting about other story ideas. It wasn’t long until I began writing more stories for him. The rest as they say is history.
In his stories he likes celebs in peril, usually of an accidental nature. He likes his heroines to have some sort of task to perform and his favorite would be some sort of heroic task where she willingly gives up her life or underestimates how long she will have to be underwater. And he almost always likes some sort of line about how long they can hold their breath.
My friend of course is jqpublic and his favorite actress is Jessica Alba. My first custom story for him was Trouble on the set. I now present it here for you to enjoy although naturally it will be posted in two parts due to my being so long-winded. I also present it to jqpublic as an appreciation of our continued friendship and many chats throughout the years.
Note: I still get requests for customs and it keeps me busy writing. Some I can fulfill and some I cannot. It usually depends on the kind of inspiration I get and whether or not I will be able to post the story in a public venue. So it never hurts to ask if you have a particular idea. Of course I cannot make any promises, especially since I have a backlog of ideas to fall back on. But one never knows…
