This might sound a bit odd, but last night, I had a dream about Toby from the Tim Burton Sweeney Todd movie. I can't remember what exactly happened in it, but it inspired me to write a story about him.
I haven't decided the plot yet, but I do know that I want to write a story about him. Any ideas of what should happen? Please comment below! When I do start it, please review and tell me what you think, and to tell me what else should happen! Thanks...

A new story
I added a new story this afternoon. Here's the description of it:
- "Maxine's Diner Commercial" - "This is a short TV commercial I wrote after playing the original Secrets Can Kill. It's based on the phone call you hear after calling the phone number for Maxine's Diner. Please review."

Reviews
I know putting "Please review" in my story summaries seems obvious or redundant, but still. I'd really appreciate knowing what I'm doing right or wrong. Some people review them with single words, which is kind of annoying, though. If you're going to review, at least use a full sentence.
Sorry for ranting, if it seemed like that. I just felt like I needed to get that out of the way.

I just realized...
In writing about all of the stories I have on FanFic, I realized that I have a few other stories with semi-finished chapters:
- "A Mix-Up at Sea" - Scene 2
- "Two Brothers, Plus One?" - Chapter 2
- "Peter Pan: A Retelling" - Chapter 8
- "Life Is Not a Sitcom: The First Season" - Episode 1, Scene 3
- "Fairvale" - Bonus Feature
- "The Lost Episode of the Hillywood Show: Psycho" - Chapter 5
An overview of my stories... part 2
Now that I've given the basic info on my stories, here's a bit more background on some that I felt needed extra explanations in addition to the 255-word-limit summaries:
- "Fairvale" - I was originally planning to co-write this with two of the friends I featured in this story. After I decided to add the Psycho sequel element to the Sweeney Todd sequel-slash-real life element, I realized that the plot would go more the way I thought it would seem appropriate for a Psycho sequel, since my friends haven't seen all of the Psycho movies. I also decided to abandon the real-life backgrounds and characteristics of my friends and myself to add to the flow of the story.
- "After His Last Case" - I was originally intending for this Law and Order: Criminal Intent story to be a one-shot-type deal, but after some consideration, I decided that I wanted to continue it. The only problem I'm having while writing it: trying to figure out if the obvious motivations of the villain would be the only ones I would use in the story.
- "Phil of the Jedi" - I started writing this because I wanted to explore what it would be like if Phil Diffy from Phil of the Future was part of the Star Wars universe.
- "The Hidden History of Hogwarts" - I mostly decided to create this first part in a series because it's a story I've been coming up with in my head for years, and I wanted to write it down to keep it all straight.
- "Life Is Not a Sitcom: The First Season" - I originally wrote the plot outline for this for an assignment in my TV Productions class near the end of my 11th grade year. About 2 years later, I decided to actually write the show out as if it were real.
An overview of my stories... part 1
OK. Here are the story descriptions I have listed on my FanFic page (in order of most recently updated):
