I know what you mean about so many characters; in fact when I first heard of the show i was somewhat worried since to many characters in the main cast can make something feel cluttered. Luckily the show has executed it pretty well. I really wanted to like Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice since I am a big DC fan, but they both didn't turn out so good. I wont be writing anything really mean spirited in the story it evolved from I thought I had of what if they did an episode where Lincoln ran away, and I thought maybe I'll do something like that. I also had more characters in the circus. but I dropped some of them because it was too much to focus on. Most of the group circus performers such as the clowns and acrobats are just going to be people in the background, and crowd shots, and they wont even be named.

I came up with the idea of him being taken in by a circus pretty early on, but it wasn't until my friend said that this whole setup can serve as a metaphor for Lincoln's life that I really started to think there was a lot of depth and emotion to do with this concept. What I mean by the metaphor thing is that while he stays with the Rolan Circus he sees how even though they are an eccentric bunch they all love each other, and are one big family; so it kinda serves as a metaphor for Lincoln's home life that his life is hectic like a circus, but they are still family. So by being with the circus folk he can get some character growth, and some sweet emotional moments.

Anyway there's that and of course I have Sporting Chance which is that capture the flag story I also wrote about in my updates blog which should be coming faster than Big Top Lincoln.

I have also had a number of thoughts that have come to my head, but many of them were just really out there, and even nasty thoughts that I don't know where they came from. After reading about your dream sequence I remembered this really, really messed up dream scene that came to mind I don't remember how, and I wish I was kidding about this, but it involved Lincoln's sisters trying to murder him. It was only a nightmare, but I still wonder where did this come from? Other thoughts I have gotten I haven't done because I want to try to avoid OCs, especially family or love interests. Two other thoughts I had involved the Loud kids having an uncle who is super close to Lincoln, and Leni having a boyfriend; which came from a thought I had from how Leni says in Along Cam A Sister of how she can be accepting of anyone so I thought if a nerdy boy had a crush on her would she go for him. I want to avoid characters like that due to the fact that it's possible they can do something like that on the show, and it's nothing like the one I made up so I shouldn't bother making OCs that could possibly be linked to characters that can be introduce in the show.

Anyway looking forward to see how your story ends, and I will be trying to get my new stories out soon.
