Objects in Motion: Chapters by Authors

Chapter 1. chezchuckles - I have loved being hands-off on this project, forcing myself to let go of the storyline and plot and seeing where a group of authors would take it - totally different from me! The best part about this round robin was that I got to know a group of writers I hadn't had that much contact with before (save Nic), and it was a really interesting collection of authors.

Chapter 2. encantadaa - I'm still fairly new to writing and to the Castle fandom in general, so this was a wonderful opportunity for me to get to know new people and to meet wonderful authors whose works I hadn't read. I loved seeing how the story flowed from one author to the next, and that the ending was just as much of a surprise to me as it was to the other readers. I'm honored to have been able to make a story with some of my favorite authors in the fandom.

Chapter 3. supermandy77 - I want to thank Laura for coming up with this idea and getting us all together for this project. It's been a wonderful experience and full of surprises with every new chapter. I've met and interacted with authors I might not have otherwise, which was an added bonus to sharing this story with ten other very talented writers.

Chapter 4. griever11 - This was an interesting experience and a challenge at the same time. It was great to work with a wide range of authors and see what directions they decided to take the story. Plus it was always fun to see the guesses from people as to who wrote each chapter. Thanks Laura for organising!

Chapter 5. jstar1382 - This was the first time I've ever collaborated with other writers so this was a completely foreign experience for me! So that and the fact that we didn't know where the plot would be head up to our chapter or how the story would end? It was kind of a crazy! I was just as eager to see how it would wrap up as the readers were! I want to thank my fellow writers for the journey and to Laura for being the wonderful spokesperson and organizer of this crazy adventure!

Chapter 6. socasuallycruel - I've never written with anybody else before in any manner, so this was a completely new experience for me. Not being able to start writing until the previous chapter had been sent to us, not being able to outline what I wanted to see happen later... it was definitely a challenge, but in the best way. I was just as eager as all of you were to get each new chapter. To my fellow writers: I was so fortunate to get to know you these past weeks and I am so proud of everything that we accomplished!

Chapter 7. Ipreferwestside (formerly narvanator) - I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in something like this. Thanks first to Laura for being the brainchild of this little experiment, and for keeping us all in line. Second to my fellow authors, whom I have had the honor of getting to know over these past weeks. Before this I was a fan of all your writing; am proud to be able to call you friends. And finally thanks to the readers, who took the time to read and review. We wouldn't be nearly as successful without all of you!

Chapter 8. Darkhours - Wow, what can I say that'll fully describe how amazing it was working with all of these fantastic writers?! It was equal parts fun and intimidating haha. Knowing I was working with all of you great, experienced writers really pushed me to dig a little deeper into myself; it pushed me to do better, to put meaning into every word. Working with all of you, I've found a part of the writer in me that I've always striven to be and for that I thank each and every one of you. Thank you for letting me write with you all, listening to me, and giving me wisdom that I'll carry with me into all of my future works, fanfiction or no. Being a part of this little project was a blessing and I am so honored to call you all friends. Also, thank you to the readers for all of the amazing reviews and support. Reading that you all loved the story so much made me smile everyday and I will be forever grateful to all of you.

Chapter 9. ColieMacKenzie - This was a really unique experience, and challenging me as a writer in the best way. Thank you, Laura, for conceptualizing the project, for all the work you did to keep it running smoothly week by week, and for letting me play in your sandbox! ;) Thanks to all the writers who've participated - I'm so happy to have come to know you all better, and to be a part of this story with you. You've each given this story your own, unique touch, and it's come alive because of it! And thank you to everyone of you out there who has read and reviewed, for your trust following us into this adventure. Your enthusiasm and your kind words are what keeps us smiling!

Chapter 10. The-KLF - Thanks to Laura for herding the cats. Thanks to Nic for not giving me a massive cliffhanger to work with. Thanks to Jo for the quick and dirty beta. Thanks to you all for reading.

Chapter 11. bravevulnerability - Few of my experiences in writing can (and probably ever will) compare to the collaborative project that was this story. To gain a glimpse into each of these talented writers' minds and creative processes was endlessly intriguing and it has been a true pleasure to work with and learn from each and every one of you. So many thanks belong to Laura for orchestrating all of this and for keeping this story on a steady path - it was a privilege to have your guidance throughout this adventure. And of course, thank you to all who came along on this fantastic journey. As Nic so accurately stated, your enthusiasm elicits many smiles.
