Crossover Fanfic #7

Here's the seventh installment of, you guessed it, the beloved Fanfic. Let's get 7 comments guys! We can do it! That day had been stressful. After I suggested that someone was after JJ’s dolphins, JJ flipped out. His office looked like a bomb had went off in it and he ended up closing the park early to “investigate”, which basically meant putting police caution tape over any of the areas Summer’s kidnapper had gone.  Seeing as I was in the middle of all of this, my mom had taken the day off to ensure I was safe and to help keep JJ from having a heart attack. We were both exhausted and it didn’t help that at one in the morning, I heard the loudest alarm I’d ever heard. I was sure my hearing was destroyed right then and there. My eyes sprung open and after I’d determined that it wasn’t a wild animal from the woods our trailer was three feet next to, I snuck out of bed before my mom stopped me. It was common knowledge my mom had better hearing than most humans, if not o...

(Repost) Food For thought SG Fans: Why do you want to know more about Stuart Gibbs books?

 This is to all Stuart Gibbs fans (or any fans of books in general, but I've been seeing this mainly on Stuart Gibb's blog&website). My question to you is: Why  do  you want to know more about upcoming books? Now I will admit, sometimes I get giddy asking questions about Big Game, Spaced Out, and even Spy School #4, but I want to know exactly why you want to know more about his upcoming books. I'm reposting this sort of as a PSA and I suppose as we get near SS#4 toward the end of summer I might repost this again. If you go to stuartgibbs.com and look at the blog,  there are hundreds of comments. And they're along the lines like "Is SPYDER/Erica/Zoe/Chip/Ashley/Nefarious going to be there?" or "Do Ben and Erica finally go out/ Ben gets that hug from Erica?". There are SO many questions that are pretty much huge spoilers. If you don't want your friend to spoil a book, why would you want the author? "Because I want to know info before eve...

Crossover FanFic Friday #6: Ben got kidnapped remember?

The next installment of FanFic friday is here! Again, I've raised the early-Tuesday-access comment level to seven! Let's beat it! To some people, being held by an attacker in the middle of the night would be a huge scare. They’d flip out, grab whatever object they could find and swing it at the invader to get them out. But I’d already been through that…twice so I knew that either I was better off keeping calm or it was Erica. Thank the lords it was the latter of which. Her lilac and gunpowder scent, now faded, still told my brain it was the one spy you could ever trust in the world. As always she did her whole “keep calm and I won’t hurt you” spiel before she un-scissored he legs and let me free. “What are we doing?” I whispered, as to not wake my fellow roommates. “What do you think we’re doing?” she hissed. “I am not waiting all night only for these morons to screw tomorrow up. C’mon we’re leaving” Who knows why she considered me not a moron considering she was...

Tirade (Thursday) #4: What is the deal with SPYDER?!?

Ok, so this is probably a topic that's been bothering me for about three years, ever since I picked up Spy School  way back when. There's got to be something wrong with SPYDER right? I mean, they've lost every time to the CIA, which according to CIA members (Spy School kids), claim the CIA is as useful as a wet tissue or whatever (I think they referred to Alex Hale? But you get the point) Like for example, in Spy Camp the reason they didn't launch those missiles is because Ben kicks apart a switch connecting the power to the main launch center. Does SPYDER not plan for this? I mean, if you're gonna shell out money on missiles, can you not make the control panel power on its own, or have multiple fail safes? Because really, it didn't even have to be Ben, any useless employee could simply trip on it. Oh yeah and then there's the part where Ben gets Nefarious to move those missiles away from the bridges by simply talking to him. Wha..what?!? Ok, so you inve...

Crossover Fanfic (Sunday) #5!- I'm late. Deal With it.

So sorry I was two days late. I had to go down to San Antonio for this academic meet and forgot to post before I left. So here you go. 5 comments before Tuesday people. You got this! Naturally, I tried to follow her with no avail. The kidnappers had picked the perfect time: It was crazy busy and you couldn’t move a foot without bumping into someone. Everywhere there were tourists in packs just like the one that took Summer. So, with no other options, I called up JJ. “WHAT! WHERE ARE THOSE PUNKS WHO STOLE MY DAUGHTER” JJ was lit up when I returned to his office to tell him the horrid news. After a minute long rant he came to his senses and devised a plan. Or to be more literal, yelled into his walkie talkie. “I NEED PERIMETERS STACKHOUSE. FORGET THE SHOPLIFTERS AND THE ANIMALS. LINE THEM UP AROUND THE WALL. NOBODY GETS OUT!” “But sir what if the people throw things at the anim…” I heard Bubba Stackhouse reply. “I DON’T CARE” JJ yelled “I NEED TO FIND MY DAUGHTER” He...

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

So my friends were dying to get me to read Red Queen, but I don't know, something in me was like "it's not worth it" but because she was going to be at NTTBF and Stuart Gibbs wasn't going to be there, I guess I wanted to check her out. Summary : So Red Queen takes place into a world where there are "Reds" and "Silvers" Red are kind of like the poorer side while Silvers are the richer and upper-class. The silvers also have special powers, such as they can heal people or control fire, or even control your mind. Right now they're at war and they force the reds to fight in it once they turn eighteen unless they have jobs. Mare's three older brothers have already been forced into conscription, which she herself doesn't want to at all, so she tries to avoid it. Mare tries to run away, which her friend Kilorn, also bound for conscription, doesn't want her too because the Silvers catch everyone. Then, she meets someone for the price o...

Fanfic Tuesday #4: Somehow Ben also gets kidnapped like what?!?

Man you guys are good with getting five comments. Well, you guys earned it (try not to cringe by my really lame writing) here you go! “What a waste of time! Why would we even go here!” Cyrus was yelling at us for spending 3 hours at Sal’s Souvenirs and Stuff imposing as customers, deliverymen and even getting Erica in as an employee. But all we found were stocking stuffers, postcards, and lots of Alamo models. It turns out, this really was a coincidence. It was a family just trying to start up a business in time for the holiday rush. Alexander was getting the bulk of Cyrus’s rage. A lot of the things he said were of events years in the past. While Cyrus was giving Alexander and earful we started searching the San Antonio metroplex for any building recently opened. We blew up SPYDER’s gated community around 7 months ago so we plugged that information into the CIA database (our phones were at all times linked and logged in) and searched. We found…nothing. Other than Sal’s store th...
