damagedSo 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 handthat 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 🙂

toomanyBecause 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

damagedSo 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.

April 12, 2014

toomanyI 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.

daughtersI 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.

April 11, 2014

daughtersI’ve completed the editing and revision process for Daughters, beyond typos, so I’ll be posting a chapter here once a day. I might not update the main page about it, except to couple it with another update.

Chapters Six & Seven for Daughters are now online.

I set up a page for the Lost Stories, and put up more explanation how they became lost, and what is still lost, as far I know. I think I still have three or four short stories to post in addition to the ones on this page.

April 10, 2014

Using the Internet Wayback Machine, I located about elevenish short stories that I wrote in 2002/03, including some interesting stories in which Brenda tortures Jason.  I haven’t figured out how to index them on this site, so I’ll just list them in the post until I figure out a better way.

Song Fiction

It’s Meant the World
Do You Ever Think of Me
Some Say Love
Eternity

Replacing The Twit – some episode tags in which I either added Elizabeth to a scene she wasn’t in on the show or removed Courtney and inserted Elizabeth.

Lizzie Does Thanksgiving
Jealousy
Apologies

Brazen BFF Stories (Ha. I always loved these two together. GH missed the boat with them being bffs.) Basically, Brenda leads Jason back to happiness.

Coming Home
What Makes You Happy

Missing Stories from Heliconia and Clam Chowda

Violence Solves Everything (Jason/Brenda dialogue fic)
Better Late Than Never

This last story is not a Liason fic, but a Georgie POV fic that has some Elizabeth in it. It was meant to be the first part of a larger story, but, ah, it’s been lost to history.

The Sweetest Thing: Applications and Admirations

 

I still have some short stories I located at Liason Underground, but there are also several abandoned chapter fics. Would you guys be interested in some of the stories I started, but never completed for some reason?

pastI intend to sleep in tomorrow and then work on my paper, so I’m doing my posting before I pass out for the night. A large update for you if you like that sort of thing. I decided to go ahead and post the lost fic, Surviving the Past, with a heavy background note regarding the history of the story and a caveat about story quality. There are very few stories from 2002 that don’t end up in my Fiction Graveyard, but this isn’t one of them. So, of that story, I posted the first four chapters.

toomanyI also posted Chapter Six of A Few Words Too Many. I’m really happy about the response to this story so far, and I can’t wait for you guys to read the rest of the story. I’ve written up to and including Chapter Fifteen, so my plan is to be finished it before I run out of chapters to post and have to work on a deadline 😛

daughtersI also posted Chapters Four & Five of Daughters. I have thirteen more chapters to repost before you get the final three chapters. Much of the later revisions are few typos and organizational details, so they’ll be coming a lot faster now, probably one or two a day.

 

 

A Note: Please remember that I live in London, which means I’m five hours ahead of EST time, so for me this is Thursday 😛

April 9, 2014

siteSo a few things today. I have three or four chapters ready of Daughters, I’ll probably post them later tonight if I’m up to it when I get home from the pub. The next chapter of a Few Words Too Many will be posted tomorrow morning.

I’ve posted a preview chapter of the rewritten Mad World, which came into my head as I was rewatching Elizabeth’s original rape storyline from 1998, making me fall in love with my originial Liz & Lucky. My first love was Lucky Spencer, and I never thought anyone else could be as perfect for her as he was. Of course, then they recasted him with Jacob Young and killed everything I ever loved about him over the next decade, but even before JY came around, I had already seen the beauty of Jason and Elizabeth, and like Elizabeth, I was ready to move past my own first love 😛

So please read the preview and if you’d like to see Mad World sooner rather than later, let me know in the poll. You can still change your vote 🙂

An awesome reader (Carla) answered my prayers, and sent me a copy of Surviving the Past, a fic I wrote back in September of 2002. I was going through a lot of things, and that story was my answer to dealing with some tough issues a friend was dealing with. It was a darker story, about surviving child abuse, and while there are things I might do differently if I wrote it today, it’s one of my few early stories I don’t want to set on fire. So if you’re interested in having me repost it (it’s over 25 chapters and it’s complete), let me know by replying to this. It’s a dark, and not always happy fic, but it’s close to my heart and I’m relieved to have it back in my possession.

By about June of 2003, I had written almost a hundred stories, most of them short little episode tags and short stories, and nearly half of them were lost in a combination of computer crash, domain data loss, and board bannings. If you ever come a cross a story that is not posted here, but is by me, let me know. I have a folder full of lost fics I need to add from Liason Undergound.

April 6, 2014

We’re going to say I updated on Monday as  I had planned, since it’s 11:30 PM London time, and that’s close enough. I was looking at a calendar and realized that April 28 is only three weeks away, ha, and it turns out that I have a 12 page paper and a 15 minute German presentation due on the same day. Why I scheduled my German presentation the same day is beyond me, but such is life. I’ve only kind of dabbled in starting either, so tomorrow is being spent at the British Library researching the Permanent Court of International Justice before coming home to clean my room, hopefully get my LL2/Liason DVD edits in the mail before going out to pub quiz with some friends, whom I haven’t seen since we got back from separate vacations last week.

That entire spiel was to explain why I updated Daughters and A Few Words Too Many tonight rather tomorrow morning as normal. Chapter 3 for Daughters is online, and Chapter 5 for A Few Words Too Many is ready.

I don’t have anything else fancy to add, other than I can’t wait for my LL2 edits to come in. They cover August 1997 through November 1998, which is Liz’s rape storyline. I had those on VHS almost fifteen years ago, but they were lost in a fire, and I ordered the Liason DVD that covers August 1999 through April 2001. I will be one happy Liz fan this week 🙂 Expect a new Liz-focused layout once I get them in, rip them to my computer and screencap them.

All stories in the Alternate History/Alternate Universe sections have now had characters and couples added, so if you’re looking for a Patrick/Robin or Jason/Elizabeth story, you can now pick which one you want to read.  I had removed them, hoping I could utilize tags for this function and improve the layout of those pages, but it doesn’t appear to be possible at the moment.  I’ll be updating the Coming Soon page the same way.

Tomorrow, I’l be updating A Few Words Too Many, and hope to have finished another set of chapters of Daughters on Tuesday.
