Well, I've decided to write Stokes, in my story, as if he Knows Everything, but he's waiting for Barnabas and Julia to just come right out and tell him. The situation that I have them in, they are going to have to tell him everything to figure out what's going on. Actually, there isn't much to figure out, it all seems pretty straightforward to me, but with Barnabas, I have to make him really dumbed down, because even on the show he Just Doesn't Get It! Even Julia should be smarter sometimes, but she is consistently smarter than Barnabas. If anyone wants to check out the first chapter, the story is called "Altered Shadows" and it's on fanfiction.net.
(I don't know if we are allowed to talk about or peddle our own stuff on here, so if it's not okay, feel free to delete the last sentence! Thanks!)
