ORIGINS: when on holiday in France this year, I went into a Bar called 'Le
Tropical'. It was small with warm walls just covered in odd bits and
pieces. It was odd and I liked it. I wanted a new idea for a fic and after
seeing some of the people who came into the bar as I wrote, I was struck
with the image of Lita and Matt serving behind the bar together. It truly
made me smile and I realised it would a wonderfully original fic to write.
This is my first true AU fanfic and I think it came out well. I had a few
basic ideas at the beginning; I wanted Trish to be the singer, Stacy and
Torrie to dance and for Lita to be the owner. The rest came to me as I
wrote. I wanted to include every sort of twist I could into one short
story. I wanted it to be an explosion of feelings all in one go. It wanted
it to be dark and light, passion and anger, love and hate and everything in
between that makes up friendships of a group who are each true individuals.
I think I succeeded.
