It would've taken different writers, I think.

Oh, well. Fanfic time!

I would've liked to see Donna and Jackie have a serious conversation about their hoped-for careers. Jackie had so many (Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, weather lady, actress, model, etc.) I wonder if Donna could've helped Jackie focus on one -- or on what Jackie really wanted to pursue, not just fantasize about.

That would have been a good conversation to see played out. I like to think they did have career talks, we just didn't see them on screen.

Yes. So many of the characters' discussions were had off-screen.

Jackie going with Donna to California with Kelso during the summer between S4 and S5 would've changed a lot. The idea intrigues me...

**msstock87** · 07-09-2017, 09:12 PM

Hmmm that could be interesting.

One of the major questions though, is how would Jackie and Hyde end up together after that summer? But I'd hope Jackie and Donna would bond in California. I could see Jackie going on dates and setting Donna up on blind dates to double-date with her.

Oh, man ... and this story is unfolding in my head.

IF you write it, I will read it.

Aww!

I need to write that idea down.

Is there anything you would've liked to see Jackie and Donna do together, friendship-wise? In Point Place? Out Point Place?

Loyalty.

I hope the reason she'd read it is that she enjoys my writing. not from loyalty/friendship.

Out of my loyalty and friendship to her, I'd tell her it's fine not to read it if she doesn't enjoy my writing.

So I would've liked to see Jackie and Donna at a fashion show. Donna's there to write an article on it, and Jackie's there to see the clothes and maybe get the idea to start her own fashion line.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of author loyalty. There are certain writers whose work I would read no matter what and no questions asked, simply because I know that they are fantastic writers and chances are that I'll enjoy it. As long as it is in one of my fandoms, of course.

Jackie and Donna at a fashion show together is an interesting thought. I'm curious what Donna's take would be on it.

I could see her shredding the fashions apart if she felt they somehow diminished women. Or maybe she'd be pleasantly surprised by the clothing line and like it way better than Jackie does.

**msstock87** · 07-14-2017, 08:15 PM

Well you are one of the best fanfic writers out there, and also somebody I consider a friend, so of course I will read it! I may be late sometimes to stories, but I will read.

Jackie and Donna at a fashion show could be interesting. Jackie would be telling Donna what she needs to be wearing, as usual.

"Since when is a scrap of bandage considered a top? Oh, that's right... since many fashion designers are men and clothes are made for the male gaze."

Thank you, Colleen! I really appreciate that.

Or what Donnna could or couldn't pull off.

Donna: And what about you?

Jackie: I can pull off any outfit.

Donna: Sure. You really think you could wear a gown that length? You'd be tripping all over it.

Jackie: Donna, it's called getting it tailored. Duh.

That sounds right.
