Yes, but the characterizations will differ quite a bit, I think.
Which would add an interesting dimension to the read.

Although considering the hate piled on Twilight, it's not like this is a rare action... I admit, I'm guilty about arguing over what fictional creations are "really" like.
Or what about the life of Agathocles? Born the son of a potter, spent time as a prostitute, became a soldier and a bandit, took over his city, and killed off the senate. When Carthage besieged Syracuse, he left the city with most of the army and attacked Carthage, forcing them to withdraw. Born the son of a potter, died a king.
Paul Robeson always struck me as an implausible wish-fulfillment sort of character.

Great quote for this topic. Thanks.
Just a heads up, SR. I'm almost 10,000 words into my version and I figure I'm about two-thirds done. This is gonna be a long one, even after I trim it down.
I was questioned once on a story that I have since pulled because it was part of something else that I published.
I attributed a certain ritual to Crowley and had someone post that he was never associated with it.
I started to do as Pilot did, and write up a post saying I know what I am speaking of and was going to cite the book, then stopped and thought...
"Why do I care?" Why do I care if this person thinks I'm wrong? Why bother defending myself? Not to mention its fiction anyway.
Instead I waited and sure enough a day later another comment was posted saying I was right and citing the source.
Looking at Your story it looks like someone came to your aid as well.
I wonder though, the guy who said they go to the father's house? That wasn't a "You're wrong!" post he did have an answer of his own and I wonder if there are different traditions?
Anyway everyone has their own approach and being questioned doesn't bother me. I won't respond because to em that ruins my image as being the "all knowing, always right author" Mystique
Why did you care enough to even ask this? (We both know why.) You lose your point by even asking. You're just jealous that Slyc and I are having this little creative thing and have to try to take the edge off it. You just can't help yourself.
I commented on the story, because that "you're wrong" comment would color the responses of any other reader and could influence what the readers took from the story (the thought that it was based in nonsense, when it wasn't--it was researched, and the whole issue of what is myth in the Amish attitude toward sex and behavior and what is not is central to the story) as well as how they rated the story.
I commented because the commenter was wrong and the story was properly researched and because the system gives me the privilege of responding to comments if I want to. And you can stick it in your ear if you want to rag me about it. I rarely respond to comments on the stories. In this instance I deemed in appropriate.
I'm not surprised you horned in, though. Ya gotta have your attention, and you can't stand seeing me getting any.

Noted. If you then think the two would make an interesting coauthored e-book, we can exchange them for editing and then, if you want, you can put them together with an introduction and submit to eXcessica and keep any profit because of the extra edit--and because I don't take profit from eXcessica.
If you don't think they fit together, I'd enjoy reading yours anyway and the creative process we went through.

I received an anonymous (of course) email review that claimed to be positive, but he actually knocked my story, using capital letters and such. He said "oh, if they were middle class, then they wouldn't have done this. You wrote the story like they were at least middle class." Come on! They weresnt having crazy redneck cousin sex out in front of the barn with an audience!
