It's okay ^.^ I just woke up anyway. I was sooo out of it last night!
I am not sure if Rumpel will turn out as long, seeing as I still am very unsure of what I want to with him. Today is going to be crazy busy! I have to finish up a homework assignment, do laundry, pack, and my friends are wanting to get together to watch a move tonight around six. I also want to reply to you and finish Rumpel's story before I go to bed. 'Cause tomorrow is a 14 hour car ride and I won't be able to do any replying unless it is just to chat with you. Anyway! I do like what they end up doing with Rumpel's son, defiantly not a lose end there! Not that I will give anything away ^.^ Still, I do not want to include Belfire. I might include him being married... I think once I sit down and start, it will come out just fine!
Belle a theif? That sounds interesting! I can't wait to read it! I am glad you like Ariel. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with Flounder but I enjoy the way he turned out. I am giving mermaids quite a bit of power though, I should probably run their powers by you. Most of it has to do with water though. She can control water in any form, she can transform between human and mermaid, she can control weather (this one can be easily discarded), and if she is holding a fish they can breath outside of water, and if she holds them while she dries, that fish will turn into a human as well. I think that is about it.
