Try creating a CodeTemplates\AddView\CSHTML folder inside your solution and put your templates there (or CodeTemplates\AddController for a controller template). It worked for me in VS2012. These can be checked into source control and everyone can share them.
The ones in your VS install directory are a bit harder to share.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
