OMG - JG - You called yourself a queen!! lol

I understand what you're saying. Since I have a teenage daughter, I'm used to doing serious proofreading, especially for run on sentences, which my daughter is quite fond of. I feel that a writer strikes on a style first, and grammar second. I think it's more important for PL to find his voice, which he is successfully doing, and then proofread later.

Some of the greatest authors and writers are not so good with grammer, etc. This is why there are proofreaders and editors in the writing industry.

What's with all the grammer correcting and english lessons on here lately? I feel like I'm back in school again! eek lol

Keep on writing Plaw! Screw the grammer. The story is what really counts. wink

Imagine, our Don Malta, Da guy who talks lye dis mang! Da guy who amire Tony Montana all tru da coolege mang. Now giving lesson's on sentence structure and proper grammer. lol wink

I dunno...... ohwell

I got myself in trouble by trying to tie up too many loose ends and introduce characters from GF III, with no clear idea about where I was going with them, plot-wise.

I really have only one plot idea for the rest of the story which, in my mind, is not that interesting, and no way to tie all the characters into it.

But thanks for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it as far as it went.

To just come up with that on a wim, in my opinion is incredible.. PL you have all my respect for even trying and doing such a good job....I've tried to write short stories and I can't get past the first paragraph..it is a very hard thing to do to write something interesting, and I think you succeded in doing just that with even this ruff copy.........I don't know about everyone else, especially Dr. WFL, but I think you did an excellent job and I would have no problem buying the book if you ever finish it....

I ab-so-lute-ly love it. I love reading it, and hope to see more in the future; maybe you could put together the "unofficial Godfather 2.5" and get your name plastered all over the press as the one who compensated for GFR.

Are you ever gonna work on it again?

Maybe you should tell that one future you have, and ask other boardmembers for help, plotwise. I'm sure interesting ideas can be found that way.

Ok Mr. Plaw, I think that it's time to revive this topic so that you can pick up where you left off in writing your GF sequel.

Now get to work. wink

It wasn`t that good, you know. wink

Seriously Plaw, it was good but you started out too overhasted. Like JG said, you should have thought your plotlines out, write these and in between use those fill-ins of Puzo`s work that you wrote now.

The thing that bothered me most in this story was also what bothered me in the modern GF II story. Too few Italians.

I know we all think of the GF as not just another Maffia story, but as more of a family drama, and so much more.
Nevertheless, the Maffia and Italian culture play a major role in it. I liked GF I, III and the flashbacks of II because of all the Italians. And while I could live with for instance Jews like Roth, ... because they were after all a big part of real-life organized crime, those lawyers and Britans really annoy me. Io volio Italiani! tongue And there were not enough of them in your fricking fairy tale Plaw! wink I suggest you introduce at least 10 new Italians, no wait, Sicilians, with really 'Sicilian' names. Just for the sake of them being Sicilian. cool Capice?

Several members here recently brought up Plaw's attempt at writing a sequal to the Godfather. So I have decided to resurrect this topic for those who are interested in re-reading the writings of Plaw, and also for those new members here who were not around when Plaw entertained us with his fantastic writing skills.

I once thought about a one act play: Vito comes back and talks with Michael (similar to the garden conversation), maybe the GFII Michael. "I never wanted this for you." Maybe it could be used as the segue to Michael's real or feigned epiphany that we see sort of in GFIII.

Yes, I am new here, and I have been considering some sort of my own project based on the Godfather, but I didn't realise that not only were so many other GF fans around the world already so far ahead of me, but with (and i never doubted this) so much talent, you've done a great job. I really enjoyed reading those posts. Unbelievable talent.

EDIT: I just had a look in another thread.. I'm so sorry.. has this member of the postboard passed away.. I'm only new around here.. Please accept my apologies, I'm very sorry RIP

Anthony Corleone sat on the edge of his bed not knowing if he should be happy that he would finally be spending some time with his father, or be dissapointed that he could not spend the day fishing with his uncle Freddie. He had grown rather fond of his uncle. Ever since nonna Corleone had passed away, he and uncle Freddie had become rather close. Uncle Freddie had become like a big brother to Anthony, doing the many things with him that his own father never seemed to have the time to do. Why was it that his father was always away on a business trip? He once asked Michael this question, during one of the rare times that they were able to spend together, and his father's response to him was "I'm doing this for you, and your sister. Someday, when you are older, when this is all yours, and you have a son of your own, you'll understand." Understand what? Anthony had silently thought to himself. He wouldn't dare talk back to his father. Understand that his father never had the time to spend with his children? That his mother could only visit he and his sister in secret? What was there to understand? It was clear to him now that his father was not a "normal" father, like the other kids fathers were. So many times he and his classmates would be sitting at lunch, mostly boys, and they would exchange stories of how they had gone camping with their fathers, or played a game of catch. Anthony always refrained from joining in on the stories that the other boys shared. What stories did he have to share with the other boys? That his father had thrown his mother out? That one night some bad men came and shot up his house? How every night since then Anthony would have nightmares and wake up shaking? How he wouldn't dare go to his father for comfort out of fear that his father would consider him a coward? No, Anthony would quietly sit there listening to all the other boys, envying them, secretly wishing that his own father could be a "normal" father like the others. But now he had his uncle Freddie. At least now he could go to school and tell his friends how he had spent the day fishing on the lake, having fun. Maybe now he would "fit in" with the others. It was all he could think about as he was about to get into the boat with uncle Freddie. That was until aunt Connie called him back to the house. His father had decided that they would be going to Reno together. Uncle Freddie had a look of dissapointment on his face. But he and Anthony both knew that there would be no choice in the matter. They both knew that when Michael decided something, there was no refuting it. So Anthony unwillingly walked back to the house and prepared himself to make the trip to Reno with his father.

*****************************


And in the boy's peurile, yet subtle and complex mind, a far-ranging plan of action was being initiated that would retrieve his mother's honor and bring his uncle back from the dead.
