Getting back to Richie for a moment, did you know that Martin Cummins, who played Pete in "Unholy Alliance" was a runner up for the part of Richie? Good thing, too, since he went on to play Nick Boyle on "Poltergist:The Legacy" for four years, with much more screen time. But I always wanted to cross them, and with Pete dead as a doornail, it was tough. Until I thought up a crossover idea.

I've got about 75% of this written, and almost all the twists and reveals are in this section, so if you want to be surprised when this is finished and you read the whole thing, I'd skip it right now. If you're dying for some Richie, enjoy.

Not adult, but will be a little on the graphic violence side when done.

Also, I have an idea for a sequel and vague notions of a series, if I ever get off my duff.

 

I just saw Austin Miller, who played Hawk on "Days of Our Lives" in the touring company of "Hairspray" last week. Damn, he's a fine performer. Why didn't we see this on Days? Why didn't they keep him instead of bringing NewPhil back? And dang if he doesn't fill out a tight T-shirt perfectly. Him and the guy who played Kevin, both. Ooooh, visual.

And then the tidbits start hammering at my imagination. Who names their lily-white kid "Hawk"? Why was he such an asshole. How can I abuse the poor boy (since all I seem to do is torture Shawn). And then *this* sprang into my head and there you have it. Instant story.

I found it ironic, the opposites of his Days character and Link. Bully to tolerant, inclusing good guy. Hmmm, why do I always get story ideas that way? So instead of using a real person, I'm slipping Hawk into the life of Austin, and then shoving him into bed with Shawn, because this is always about Shawn. Right?

(Hee-hee. Shawn figured out who's the killer! But he's cried wolf too often, so he's gonna go after it alone, and you always know how that turns out!)

Anyway, I have in mind a series of Shawn Douglas Brady stories under the catch-all and tittilating banner "I Was A Teenaged Alien's Sex Slave!" and I'm not talking Cassie. Here is story 8 or 9 of the yet-unwritten series.
