Yet Another Dream -- Epilogue

MASTER OF CEREMONIES: GREETINGS ALL AND WELCOME TO "LIFESTYLES OF THE NOT-SO-RICH AND FANATICAL". RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENTATION FOR YOUR READING ENJOYMENT. TODAY, WE HOPE TO SNATCH A QUICK INTERVIEW WITH THAT'S RIGHT, FAYE. AUTHOR OF "A DREAM COME TRUE" AND "YET ANOTHER DREAM". WE ARE CURRENTLY AWAITING HER ARRIVAL NOW. AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, FAYE IS ONE OF THE FIVE TALENTED WRITERS CONNECTED TO THAT REKNOWNED BSB SISTER FICTION SITE THAT HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MAIN FANFIC FOCAL POINTS TODAY ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB. AND IT SEEMS THAT OUR GUEST HAS JUST ARRIVED. GOOD EVENING, FAYE. WOULD YOU MIND TAKING A FEW MOMENTS TO TALK ABOUT YOUR LATEST STORY, "YET ANOTHER DREAM."?

FAYE: UM, I GUESS NOT.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : GREAT! PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT. FAYE, FIRST AND FOREMOST I MUST COMPLIMENT YOU ON YOUR UNIQUE STORY-WRITING. I WAS LITERALLY ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE WHOLE TIME I READ THROUGH "YET ANOTHER DREAM."

FAYE : UM, YEAH. WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : WHICH LEADS TO MY FIRST QUESTION. WHERE EVER DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR YOUR STORIES?

FAYE : UM, THE IDEA FOR MY STORIES WAS INSPIRED BY A DREAM ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD ONE DAY. I THINK CHAPTER ONE TO "A DREAM COME TRUE" ACTUALLY WAS WRITTEN IN MY ALGEBRA CLASS SOME TIME LAST MAY. OVER ALL, IT'S TAKEN ME ALMOST A YEAR TO ACTUALLY FINISH THE WHOLE STORY."

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : IT TOOK YOU ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR TO FINISH THE WHOLE STORY?

FAYE : IS THERE AN ECHO IN THE BUILDING?

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : MY NEXT QUESTION REVOLVES MORE ABOUT THE STORY LINE ITSELF. NOW, AT THE END OF "YET ANOTHER DREAM", US READERS WERE SOME WHAT LEFT HANGING AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE CHARACTERS. COULD YOU POSSIBLY ELABORATE ON THAT?

FAYE : OH YEAH. SEE, I WANTED TO END THE STORY ON A HIGH NOTE. YA KNOW, KINDA CREATE THAT SORT OF UNRESOLVED SUSPENSE THAT LEAVES THINGS REAL OPEN FOR THE READER TO USE THEIR OWN IMAGINATION.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : MMM-HMM. YOU REALLY LEFT US HANGING THERE AT THE END OF THE STORY, WITH POOR HOWIE ONCE AGAIN COMFRONTING LIZZIE'S FATHER. COULD YOU POSSIBLY CLARIFY JUST EXACTLY WHAT BECAME OF OUR CHARACTERS AFTER THE STORY ENDS?

FAYE : NO.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : UH, OKAY. UM, WE'VE HAD SOME VIEWERS CALL IN WITH QUESTIONS FOR YOU ABOUT YOUR STORY AND WE'D LIKE TO PRESENT YOU WITH A FEW OF THEM AT THIS TIME. UH, ONE VIEWER ASKS, "WHAT EVER BECOMES OF NICK AND BRENDA? DOES NICK EVER CONFESS HIS AFFECTIONS FOR HER OR DOES HE KEEP THEM BOTTLED UP INSIDE UNTIL HE BECOMES SO OVERWHELMED WITH HIS INNER EMOTIONS THAT HE RUNS AWAY FROM THE PERILS OF BEING A BACKSTREET BOY AND JOINS THE CIRCUS?"

FAYE : HOW DID THEY KNOW?

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : OUR NEXT VIEWER ASKS, "FAYE, NOW THAT YOU'VE FINISHED "A DREAM COME TRUE" AND IT'S SEQUEL, "YET ANOTHER DREAM", MIGHT ANY OF US FATEFUL READERS BE EXPECTING ANY NEW UPCOMING STORIES BY YOU UP SOON?"

FAYE : OH YEAH, AT THE CURRENT TIME I HAVE SOME MORE MATERIAL IN THE WORKS, BUT NOTHING'S SET IN STONE JUST YET.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : OH REALLY? CARE TO SHARE WITH US AND OUR VIEWERS WHAT SOME OF YOUR MATERIAL MIGHT COVER?

FAYE : WELL, I WOULD, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU. IT'S VERY HUSH-HUSH AT THIS TIME, SO ONLY A FEW PEOPLE OUT THERE REALLY KNOW ABOUT IT. AND THEY WON'T BE TELLING ANY TIME SOON.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES: UM, QUESTION NUMBER THREE. "WERE THE CHARACTERS IN YOUR STORY BASED ON PEOPLE YOU KNOW OR JUST FICTIONAL CHARACTERS YOU MADE UP ALONG THE WAY?"

FAYE : UH, WELL THE BOYS, OBVIOUSLY, ARE BASED UPON THEMSELVES. AS FOR THE ORIGINS OF THE GIRLS TOURING WITH THEM? IN REALITY, DIANA, ESTHER, AND LAURA ARE SOME FRIENDS OF MINE. SO, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY ALL OF MY CHARACTERS WERE BASED ON PEOPLE WHO REALLY EXIST.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : I SEE. DID YOU HAPPEN TO BASE ANY CHARACTER ON YOUR OWN SELF IMAGE?

FAYE : YA-HUH.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : REALLY? WHO?

FAYE : MERLE.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : AND THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR TODAY. PLEASE TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR........

FAYE : WAIT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A THIRTY MINUTE SEGMENT.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : WE'VE HAD A RECENT CUTBACK IN FUNDING. AS I WAS SAYING, TUNE IN.......

FAYE : BUT, WAIT. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.......

MASTER OF CEREMONIES : ......NEXT TIME FOR LIFESTYLES OF THE NOT-SO-RICH AND FANATICAL. BYE NOW!

FAYE : HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING ME FOR THIS INTERVIEW AGAIN?

So, didja like it? Huh? Huh? Huh? I want to thank all the peeps who wrote me and critiqued me on my stories. (Feel free to drop me a line again sometime!) I also want to thank JQ and Melissa for posting ADCT and YAD on their sites. (What do you know, guys? I actually got it finished! Are you impressed?) Please, let me know what you thought of any one of my stories, both good and bad.( I'm strong. I can take it.) If nothing else, be sure to just sign the guestbook. Don't forget to read all the other stories on the site (they ARE well worth your time!) and, as always, KTBSPA!

Luv Alwayz,
FAYE
