I may bump up how much I post A Few Words Too Many. I’m halfway through writing Chapter 21, and Chapters 22 and 23 are mostly action, so that always goes a lot faster than conversational, heavy chapters, and I’ve had the ending in my head since I started the story. So as long as I get Chapter 21 done tonight, I can knock out 22/23 at once and that just leaves 24. All of which should be done early next week.  So, rather than twice a week, I may move it up once every other day (possibly one a day, depending on my how my life goes).

I’m also going to change the way I had intended to write Daughters. I sat down, intending to write the last three chapters of the story based on an outline I wrote in 2008, and I just…realized how much of it was unnecessary. It needs at most two chapters, but I can probably wrap it up in one. With both those stories finished being written, I can turn my attention full-time to Tangle, These Small Hours and Damaged. Damaged is an ongoing concern that gets updated when episodes are ready. I had hoped to have Tangle before These Small Hours, but honestly TSH is shorter and already has a bunch written, so that may be next.

If I make more updates later, they may be cosmetic in nature. As you can see, I shifted around the content in the sidebars to add a Spotify Playlist widget. This playlist is what I generally listen to while writing, and it’s constantly being updated. There’s like 150 songs at the moment.  You do need Spotify installed to enjoy it, but I recommend even the free version, because life is awesome.

Later Cosmetic Updates: I shifted the stories included in the Fiction Graveyard back to their original categories, and decided instead  on that page,  post the stories that I’ve abandoned, including a poll deciding which story you might want to see back. The stories themselves aren’t posted yet, but rather just summaries.

Additions

– Chapter 11 of A Few Words Too Many

– Chapter 12 of Daughters

I’ll probably end up updating again later today with a chapter or two of Daughters, maybe some Surviving the Past.  I’ve added Chapter Ten of A Few Words Too Many. Funny story — the Jason/Elizabeth scene in Chapter 9 came out of nowhere. I originally intended that scene to go a lot more like the one in Chapter Ten. But, as I remarked on the message boards, Jason and Liz decided they knew better 😛

First Update: Chapter Eleven of Daughters. I shall return with others as I normally do because I’m a dork. (If this afternoon goes well, maybe even the next episode of Damaged. You just never know with me.)

Second update: Damaged, two days early! Some of the scenes just started to flow for me, so no point in holding back. Hope you guys like this as much as the first one. This episode really sets up the trajectory for the next few weeks. Click Episode 002 to read and please let me know what you think!

*Sigh* So you can skip the previews for If I Don’t Try With You, because somehow, I wrote 20 pages of the bloody thing today and finished it. This should be good news, but now it’s already like 7:30 and I’m going to eat dinner late. Again. Frick my life.

Anyways. If I Don’t Try With You is the true moment of transition from General Hospital to my alternate world, which rewrites the aftermath of Michael’s shooting in 2008. It’s both happy and dark at the same time, but I’m pretty damn excited about how it turned out.  This is my last update for today. I swear.

Had a major breakthrough on my international law paper, so I celebrated by writing fanfiction and then I thought you guys should benefit from my good day, so I’ve posted a plethora of previews! Additionally, I’ve rewritten the code for the previews page so that you can click on which preview you want (instead of an archive of all the posts on one page). Today’s previews come from: If I Don’t Try With You, the Liason prequel to Hand Me Down; snippets of Chapter Four of These Small Hours; and three snippets from three different chapters of A Few Words Too Many. I hope you enjoy them!

I haven’t posted any more of Daughters yet, I may do that later today, but I’m actually doing my paper for class. Just a few minor updates:

– I still have to post my distribution policy and whatnot, but in addition to posting a few of these stories at Return to Nowhere, the Liason message board, I also post at Fanfiction.net and Archive of Our Own, links for which lead to my profiles on those sites.

– Damaged has been updated with a nicer layout, but it’s still not quite where I wanted it to be. I added previews for the next episode, which is almost done and if I finish the last three scenes before Saturday, I’ll post it early.

– If at any time you find a typo or missing word, please comment on the post/page and let me know so I can fix it. I constantly click on random stories to check for accuracies, and am always finding more.

–  The poll and coming soon page have been updated to reflect the change in status for Damaged. If you’ve already voted for that story and are unable to change your vote (or you’ve voted in general for one story and can’t change it but want to), please comment with what you originally voted for and what you want instead, and I’ll use that for my own final tallies.

– A Few Words Too Many and Daughters will be updated tomorrow.

So the early response to my preview episode of Damaged was so great, it inspired me to spend part of yesterday finishing off the special website I set up for the story. It’s all ready to go, complete with cast information, storyline previews, and polls, so if you liked that episode, go find out what’s happening next! The next episode will be posted on Saturday, April 18 🙂

I’ve added Chapter Ten for Daughters, as well. I plan to come back later tonight and add some more chapters to Surviving the Past, but  I may get side tracked with writing my paper for class, so if not later tonight, then morrow.

Later Update:

I added Chapters 9-12 for Surviving the Past. I also did some maintenance on the Take Me By the Hand series. I noticed that some of scenes that were supposed to be italicized weren’t, so I fixed typos and added words that were missing, in addition to rewriting the intro to it.

Note: I am aware that now that I’ve finished Part I of A Few Words Too Many, and begun Part II, the chapters don’t link together. I am working on a fix through the awesome plugin I use, Organize Series, but it may take some time. So for the moment, I am going to add manual links to link Chapter Eight to Chapter Nine. I’ll keep you guys posted. It means I’ll have to do some PHP customization I’m not up at the moment 🙂

Because I have control issues. I have to be careful about posting too many of these chapters, mostly because if I keep posting extra ones, I’ll have finished posting the story. Which isn’t terrible, mind you, but neither Tangle nor These Small Hours are quite ready for posting, which means there will be a gap. Also, at some point in the next two weeks, I have to write that stupid paper and prepare that German presentation I keep procrastinating on. Oy. So this is it for bonus chapters. Probably.

You get nothing else until Thursday. Except maybe some of the abandoned stories. We’ll see. Ugh. I hate myself sometimes. No will power.

– Chapter 8 and 9 of A Few Words Too Many

So I took a three hour nap at 6 pm yesterday, and when I woke up at 9, I couldn’t get back to sleep until about 3:30 AM. During that time, I watched about five hours of my Liz and Lucky 1998 DVDs, and then I got the first episode of Damaged in my head. I realized about two weeks ago Damaged wasn’t going to be a normal story as I had too many ideas, so I’m just going to pretend GH is my show and I’m going to write it the way I want. So that being said, I wrote the first episode and have posted that as a preview for what I have in mind.

Additions
– Episode 001 of Damaged as preview
– Chapter 9 of Daughters

I hadn’t planned on posting another chapter of A Few Words Too Many today, but I hit such a great stride writing it last night that I wanted to celebrate a little 😛 I’ve finished the first parts of the story (which equal together, seventeen chapters) and only have seven left to write, so I may be peppering some extra chapters in every once in a while.

I also posted a new layout, but I’m not sure how much I like it. I’ll leave it around for a bit, but I may change my mind.

I plan to update again later with some site things and more chapters of Surviving the Past, so I’ll update this page at that point. Here are the additions so far:

– Chapter Seven of A Few Words Too Many
– Chapter Eight of Daughters

Later Update:

– Chapters 5-8 of Surviving the Past

And the last group of completed short stories from Liason Underground, so all the lost stories I currently have access to are now on this site.

Good Intentions (April 28, 2003 Episode Tag)
See You Later (Pic Fic Entry)
Left Behind (October 6, 2002 rewrite)
Just A Switch – No Goddamn idea what this is, but it’s here now.
Distrust (September 2003 Episode Tag)
Home for Christmas (AU song fiction)

Second Late Update:

I’m starting to merge The Lost Stories in their Short Stories category, specifically the General Short Stories and Episode Tags, which now have their own page. Also found one last 2006 short story located from my old board, set during the paternity mess I want to hurt very badly. So Mirrors is now located here.
