  1. I've enjoyed working with Parker for a couple of years so he was my choice for writing a song even before I started working onthe story. Considering how much he has going on his life, I'm still amazed he was able to squeeze this out. I look forward to future joint endeavors. And since we're talking collaborations, make sure you checkout the December Ask an Author. Several takes on crossovers from a varied group of authors.
  2. Thanks, Tony. Placing readers in front of the stage was my goal. I'm glad that worked for you.
  3. LOL. Should we let readers know I approached you last year about the song? Or that you delivered it to me at the beginning of 2019 when I was just starting to write the story? When do you think we'll have a recording to share with your fans?
  4. I know, right? Considering I have zero musical talent, somebody else better step in.
  5. Nothing like asking someone for help and having them outshine you. I don't mind at all in this case.
  6. Chipper was lucky to get that song to perform. One more appearance and then the announcement of the winner.
  7. Thanks, buddy.

    Original Song

    Although Chipper performed last in the initial rotation, he had the second spot in the subsequent one. The time between numbers would be limited. Before taking off the tuxedo, he retrieved his phone and posted a picture with a three-word message: VOTE FOR ME! He added a few hashtags and a link to the show’s website. While a hairstylist sprayed dry-shampoo on him—they needed to remove the product used to slick it back—Chipper watched the silenced monitor in the room. One of the projects kee

    Close. At least half the year but a couple of months would see only a short story one week an nothing the remaining ones. I could crank out enough of them to post every week, but I'm a believer in quality over quantity. One waiting to be written's going to require a lot of research into the Air Force Academy so that will slow me down.

    the car choice was inspired by the video below (a favorite of mine). Adam drives a 1961 Lincoln Continental in it and I didn't want to use the same one. This is what I chose instead

    @travlbug Dear Philistine: My mate, Roku, and I have followed Chipper's journey through pirated, intergalactic transmissions. Both of us are rooting for him. Furthermore, Roku's been listening to old Earth music and has fallen in love with Frank Sinatra. I'd suggest you do not speak badly of the Chairman of the Board. Roku has a temper. Your friend, Arad. I was asked to share the above message. Personally, I'd like you to note the progression of songs Chipper's performed and how well this one serves to highlight another aspect of his talent. There's even that NYC connection he's milked in previous ones. BTW, I think I owe you a word for the story as a whole.

    LMAO I have 3 completed stories, one at 90% and two others somewhere around 75% complete. You may be sick and tired of reading my work by the time I get done posting them all.

    Sounds like you approve of the songs I picked for Chipper!

    We'll get those in the final chapter on Friday next week.

    I've stripped the story down to the bare bones, but I won't make a habit out of it. Even if I do have a tendency to leave open ended scenes before for readers to fill in the band. Let's see how you like the upcoming Christmas one.

    As a teen, Chipper reacted badly to his father cheating on his partner. Seven years later he has matured and is able to accept Chip's human and bound to make mistakes. I wanted our guys to start his new life with a clean slate. The next performance's for you, Parker.

    I wanted to emulate how most of these competition shows go. Each season last about three months which equals thirteen weeks. I began posting in September and the story will conclude the Friday after Thanksgiving. I could have milked it for longer by posting once a week but by doubling up it hopefully resembled what happens in real life. Fret not. Although Singer concludes the day after Thanksgiving, a new story will begin posting the subsequent Friday. Want a sneak peek at what comes after Chipper's tale?

    Coming right up, AR. The next two chapters will detail each of his remaining performances.

    I've seen Levine perform a similar style song wearing a tux. Combined with Chipper's love of American Standards, I figured they'd do Ole Blue Eyes proud.

    Thanks, Chris. Not sure how relaxed Chipper was. I suspect his cal is all an act.

    Since his father and Matt appeared fine spending time together, Chipper agreed to meet both for breakfast on Sunday. He made it clear, as he had to his mother and sister, he would be unable to spend time with them again until after the Monday night performances. “I can’t believe I’m sitting with both of you at the same time.” Chipper shook his head and smiled. “I hope this is a good omen.” “Forget omens. You’re good enough to win this thing.” Matt’s words elicited a vigorous nod from
