Not so far...it's a placeholder, maybe?

Go for it!! It sounds interesting, and explores uncharted territory.

The author is still getting acquainted with the posting process. Once the first chapter gets posted, this thread may be deleted so that the author can start their own.

Furry nuff.

One of the biggest challenges is the setting. I have no familiarity with any part of Sweden. If someone who reads this is from Sweden, please let me know how accurate I was with the story so far. Also, I'd like to know where I can get more info on 1980's Sweden.

I need to know the cost of property-- I plan to have Eli and Oskar buy a piece of property. At the end of chapter 4 they meet a woman and I was going to have her buy the place under her name.
I need to know how much money Eli could get if he pawned that egg-shaped looking thing-- this is mainly where the two of them get the money to buy real estate. Remember, you could buy a nuclear power plant.
What kind of cars they had.
How much money could Lacke have had if he cashed in on the stamp collection that was given to him-- I plan to have Gosta, Karlsson, Larry, Morgan try to avenge Lacke's, Jocke's, and Virgina's death. I might just choose one of the four and have the person travel around, looking for the two. After all, they are all bums and probably couldn't leave Blackeberg. That's where Lacke's collection comes into play. I was going to create a backstory in which one of the guys break into Virginia's apartment and finds Lacke's collection because he told the person where it was, before he died of course.

* Sorry if I refer to Eli as he, and I wonder if that even matters to anyone?

Eli's gender is problematic in all sorts of ways To me, she's a girl; to others, she's Elias, and therefore a "he". It's not something we fight about, but it would be good if you'll be kind enough to make sure we can figure out who you're talking about when you say "he" or "she".

Didn't Lacke tell Virginia before she self-immolated how much he thought he could get for that stamp? 80,000 or something like that I think . . .

If you want to know what kind of cars they drove, Google images for "1980s Stockholm"?

There is going to be more to this. I just submitted a prologue and have chapter one written. This story is something I am creating that is unrelated to L.T.R.O.I. Well, I guess the only similarity is that it's a story between two teens trying to fit into society. One of which, happens to be... you'll see.
