4 votes

3. Moose #1: (The rough draft of the first chapter to this one was posted earlier) "The abhorridly cutting and rascist words of a highly religious woman haunt Donyelle's dreams, causing her to reevaluate her relationship with Benji. Feeling there was truth behind what the stranger had said, she found herself running back to Tahir's arms. Their relationship is an abusive one. As the tour progresses, Benji notices her distant behavior, and quickly recognizes the signs after Donyelle is reunited with Tahir at the LA show. Can he convince her of his love before it's too late?"

6. Jonesy: "I thought it would be funny if like ... while on tour donyelle breaks up w/ tahir and it comes up that benji's in love w/ her ... duh. but ever since the samba, dmitry can't stop thinking of her either, despite natalie lol."

7. Moose #2: "The plot could focus on rumors and how they've affected the lives of the contestants. While some are hurt by the cutting words of the media and the fans, others are intrigued by the concepts presented. Benji and Donyelle are driven to reevaluate their relationship when they realize that we fans may be on to something. We could incorporate rumors that were really going around about each dancer, or make up some of our own."

8. Candice #1: "- Written in a third person narrative. -Nigel is in the 10th season of SYTYCD and now he needs some new judges (since some of the regulars have...died...and others have moved on to other projects). Since Season 2 was the most popular season and the dancers from that season have moved on to have amazing careers, Nigel solicits them. The ones he gets are: Heidi and Dmitry: Latin Dance Specialists. Travis and Allison: Contemporary/Lyrical Specialists Ivan and Donyelle: Hip Hop/Pop/Street Dancing Specialists Benji: Broadway/Ballroom/Swing Specialist Martha and Natalie: Ballet/Jazz Specialists (I paired them up because it seems that on the show, they have two experts for every type of dance) -The dancers haven't seen each other in a long time, and reuniting for the show brings back a lot of memories, old fights, and romantic feelings....wackiness and drama follow."

10 votes

9. Candice #2: "- Written from the perspective of Benji. -It's been a couple years since the show and tour ended. The lives of the season two dancers have changed forever--some in good ways, some in bad ways. Promises that the dancers made to each other at the end of the tour weren't kept, for the most part. -Benji has moved on with his life, but can't help wonder what has happened to Donyelle. Is she married? Does she have kids, like she always wanted? Does she have the dance studio she wanted so badly? -Benji himself has a wife and a son, a flourishing dance studio and teaching business, and is preoccupied with his own life most of the time. But, he's got a nagging feeling that something is missing from his life: Donyelle. So, he contacts some of the old season two dancers in hopes of learning what happened to Donny, and getting in touch with her once again."

5 votes

10. Candice #3: "- Written from the perspective of....Travis!!! - A Good friend to both Benji and Donyelle, Travis has witnessed the flirting and friendlyness that shippers have dubbed Benjelle. To be honest, Travis thinks they are perfect for each other. So, he sets out to play matchmaker between the two. - Travis encounters all sorts of difficulties--insecurites from Donyelle, confusion from Benji, nagging from Heidi (his partner in crime, as usual), helping Donny figure out what she wants from a man (lol...could be soooo funny), etc. - Travis, being the super cute and incredibly suave Bunny that he is, eventually gets the couple together--creating some drama, crazy incidents, and tears along the way."

Subplot:

1. Candice #1: "Cat is pregnant and the dancers are all atwitter planning a baby shower. It's cutesy but would work...and it could be funny when the guys get involved."

7 votes

2. Candice #2: "Nigel is trying to recruit some of the dances for a new Fox reality show 'So You Think You're a Celebrity Idol?'--a cross between SYTYCD, Celebrity Duets, and American Idol. This could also work as a full-fledged fic by itself."

9 votes

3. Candice #3: "if we are going to do an amnesia plotline, I think it would be hilarious for Dmitry to be the one with amnesia...we could switch his accent, make him think he's from Texas, etc. Sooo many funny possibilities, but it could also be serious at times."

*GASP* But I love the Dmitry plotline : D Well, either way, Candice, you're leaving the rest of us in the dust!

I'm going to leave both open for voting for a few more hours, and then I'll announce the winner of the secondary plot, and make a final poll of the top 3 main plot choices. I should be able to announce main plot by tomorrow night, and then we can finally start!
