Okay, so I need help with Lunar Soul. I'm outlining it right now, and I need ideas for fillers that work with the plot and whatnot. I know the main points of the story and when I want them to happen, but I'm not sure what to put in between it.
The first point being in between Bella's first day of school and her confronting rumors going around. I'm thinking something to do with Lauren and Jessica, considering when she confronts the rumors she...well, she bitch-slaps the two of them and they leave her alone.
But, I also need to include her being snarky and whatnot to the Cullens, especially now that they're watching her carefully.
So, help?
P.S. For those smokers out there, what is the best brand of cigarrettes? This Bella smokes, and I figured she'd smoke the best. Thank you.

Djarum Black are the 'luxury' cigarettes, but they're also pretty poncy looking, so you may want to skip those, haha.
Well, if I had just bitch-slapped some, uh, bitches, and were storming away in a huff, only to be faced by an audience of suspicious Cullens...That's when I'd be at my snarkiest best.

Well, I need a moment leading up to that...more of a reason for Jessica and Lauren to want to spread rumors about her.
I was leaning more towards the line of having Tyler and Mike flirt with her, but they already do and that can't be all the chapter is about, you know?

Jessica and Lauren want to spread rumours because they're Jessica and Lauren. (I'm assuming Bella is still new to Forks) Lauren is jealous of Bella's immediate attention when she arrives in Forks, because of her own insecurities over both her friend and romantic appeal. Jessica was, I dunno, snubbed in her offer of friendship by Bella? She was going for the 'popular' chick being nice to the new girl, capitalising on the interest in Bella, but instead wasn't clung to in the way she had hoped. *shrugs* Just the basic ideas, though. More complex character motives are totally possible.

Haha, I totally was going to have that, too. But that's more on her first day of school.
"So, we were going to go shopping later today and figured it would be great if you went."
"Sorry, but I'm not going to make it."
"That wasn't a question."
"Oh, well I answered it anyway."
Still, I need more than that. Chapter Nine I have figured out, as well as Chapter Seven, but Chapter Eight is drawing a blank to me.

Jessica overhears Mike asking her to the Prom? Thinks she's accepting, despite being told that Jessica was so totally in love with him and the green-eyed monster and broken girl-code rage rears its ugly head?

I doubt they'd ask her to prom at the beginning of the school year...unless those boys are really hoping their charms/looks can save them til the end of the year.
Bella never becomes friends with Jessica and Lauren, either.
Though that is an amusing idea. Sounds like Mean Girls to me, haha.
P.S. Like my new icon! I thought it was time I changed it, haha.

I didn't think Bella transferred at the beginning of the school year, but *shrugs* Your school year layout just means I have no concept of time, haha. We start in Feb, finish end of November. Summer break over, well, summer  So, how about despite not being friends with J & L, J still warns her off Mike, trying to be all 'mob boss' about it? ("Stay away from Newton, Swan. Or else." *are secluded in dark alleyway*"Or else what?" "Or else your father gets it..." *releases puff of cigar smoke*) Then she hears Mike trying to ask her out. Voila, incentive for rumours. And yes, nice icon. Ninja names FTW. |

Haha, she does in my story. In August/September, which ever one.
Hmm, possibly. But there needs to be more to that chapter other than "Stay away from him. Or else."
And yes. Ninja names are definitely FTW.

AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SATISFY YOUR STORY NEEDS!?!?
Wow. That came out a little bit wrong. Anyway, you're right if we can't come up with something it's time to seek outside help. Anyway, maybe you should ask Hollow. He's good at filler chapters, as the last few chapters of Aurora prove.

Dude, I did this before you actually began helping me. Relax.
Besides, other help doesn't hurt, right?
