Welcome to Crimson Glass

This is a General Hospital fanfiction archive that concentrates on the pairing of Jason Morgan and Elizabeth Webber. You will also find a lot of stories that feature Sonny and Carly Corinthos, Patrick Drake and Robin Scorpio, and Nikolas Cassadine and Emily Quartermaine. The stories are written completely by me, Melissa (LissieLove) and features novels, short stories, and other GH-related material. It has been online since September 19, 2002.

If you don't like Jason and Elizabeth as a pairing or you have any fondness for the character of Franco, then you should probably click the back button and continue on your way. Happy travels. I hate Franco. He is a lying, violent, sociopathic piece of shit, and I hope this character gets yeeted into the sun. Thank you.

So I’m working on my NaNoWriMo choices for a poll in October and trying to plan sample chapters. I’ve decided to invest in a full collection of all of 2006 from Stacey (CurlyQGrl) so I can better write my stories. I’m also going to get 2007, 2008, and maybe to go back one day and get 1996-99 because that was my favorite time period. But right now, I’m focusing on stories I planned using 2006 for NaNoWriMo.

This brought me to Fallen From Grace, a story I was writing in 2006-07 but abandoned because I couldn’t really decide on my endgame. I’m still thinking it through, but the version I wrote needs to be rewritten because I want to do something slightly different and pick a different pick up/starting point with the show.

So the original five chapters is being moved into Fiction Graveyard, along with a partially written Chapter Six, and a collection of four scenes I wrote from the end of the original plot sketch.

Warning: The part of the story I finished has Jason/Elizabeth scenes, but it leans more Patrick/Elizabeth. If you only read Liason stories, this might not be for you.

Fallen From Grace can now be found on the Fiction Graveyard. I hope you like it!

William Lipton’s debut as Cameron Webber yesterday inspired me to do some writing, and since Fool Me Twice is the only story where an aged Cameron exists, I figured this was the best outlet. I’m excited to start this part of the storyline — it’s where my entire idea came from. When I eventually turn FMT into a full-fledged novel, this is going to be a lot of fun to flesh out.

Fool Me Twice, Part 9

Ignore any description of Cameron before in this story. Hope you enjoy!

Hey, it’s time again — what’s going in my writing and at Crimson Glass in general. I try to do these every couple of months so you can see what I’m working on. If you have a question about something that I didn’t cover here, please feel free to ask!

At the Site

  • I’m doing some behind the scenes work — fixing broken links, cleaning up the Workshop and the discarded material. Just some under the engine work y’all probably won’t notice.
  • I have lot of plot sketches and material for stories I ended up not pursuing, and I want to find the best way to post this material for you guys. It’s been kind of set off on the page in the side and it’s been a list of posts.

Today is the last day of my Flash Fiction Marathon — making up for Bittersweet going back on an unscheduled hiatus. I decided to finish the marathon with a bang — a 60 minute timed update for Fool Me Twice. I’m going back to my original plot for the story because it turns out I actually mostly liked it. So I’ve added Part Eight. You can read the first seven chapters on the Flash Fiction page.

I added Part 3 to Count on Me. You can find all the previous parts on the Flash Fiction Page. For some reason, after the last Jetpack update, you guys are getting emails with anything I post to CG. I had had it set so you’d only get site news emails and weren’t constantly getting emails when I posted something. I’m going to try to fix it.

I’m working on some back end things so you may get a broken link here or there. I hope to have it all fixed by the end of the weekend.

Tomorrow, I’ll have time to do a 60 minute Flash Fiction, so I’m either going to do Fool Me Twice or Sky is Falling. I haven’t decided which one yet. I might even turn Smoke & Mirrors into a Flash Fiction series because then at least, I’ll write it more regularly and not obsess over it.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I hope these small flash fiction posts are filling the time until Bittersweet comes back!

 

Edited: I think I’ve fixed the emails again so if you’re subscribed, you’ll only get blog posts from this category and not my chapter updates. Thanks!

I’ve separated the Flash Fiction from the Workshop and re-envisioned what the Workshop is going to be. It’s still going to be a place for me to run some ideas past you guys and put older versions of stories (Homecoming is the origin of Smoke and Mirrors, for example). But it’s also going to be a place for me to better organize some of the extra materials I’ve posted here.

I have discarded stories and plot sketches as well as deleted scenes, and though I’ve posted them up until now, I don’t feel like they’ve been easily accessible or explained. So the Workshop is under construction.

I’ve added a new page for Flash Fiction, and organized the series more effectively. I’ll be bringing the other flash fiction series I was working on last year–from Sky is Falling to A King’s Command as well the return of Fool Me Twice, etc.

I’ve also posted another part for Count on Me as well. You can find the first part on the Flash Fiction page and click below to read the second part.

Count on Me – Part 2

July 31, 2018

I started doing flash fiction last year but I converted into the Workshop because I realized a lot of what I was posting was things I wanted to write about more later. Quickly, the flash fiction stuff became more and more of a stressful thing and I kept starting stuff and abandoning it. The opposite of the stress relief it was supposed to be.

I’m rethinking the workshop stuff at the moment — I’ll be back with more about that later this week, but I’m bringing back Flash Fiction, and I’m going to try to do it on a schedule again.

I wanted to do a Flash Fiction today because I won’t be posting Bittersweet tomorrow. I apologize for this but some things have come up that have prevented the last few chapters from being ready for posting. The story is done, but it’s still in the editing stages, and the edit has been postponed due to family issues. I wish I could be more specific, but I can’t.

So in order to kind of still give you new content, I’m posting this Flash Fiction today, and if things go as planned — a new one each day this week.

Without further ado: Flash Fiction: Count on Me is available now to read.

July 25, 2018

Some family issues have prevented the Bittersweet update this week, guys. My apologies 🙂 I hope we’ll be back next week. I was trying to think of something I could post to make  upfor it.

I was looking through my files to see if there are snippets of things I haven’t posted yet and have been playing with. What I found is an un-posted chapter for a project I never finished writing: Collision.

I’ve mentioned it a few times and even posted a prologue a long time ago, but I never posted the rest of my material. So I thought as a hold over, I’d post Chapter 1. The prologue has the notes and context for the story–but it picks up the show after 2006’s virus storyline, and moves the story into 2007.

It was going to be an alternate version of the show (like Damaged) with huge umbrella storylines, but understandably, I haven’t gotten into it since I started writing Damaged. The main storyline is still something I want to revisit at some point, but there’s no harm in giving you completed material since most of it wouldn’t make into a revised version.

I hope to have Bittersweet next week 🙂 

In other news, Book 1 of Mad World, entitled Break Me Down, is now complete! I posted back in January (I think) that Mad World would be a trilogy. Book 1 takes place in late June-early July 2003 and rewrites the Carly in the Panic Room storyline. It ended up being ensemble story with the PCPD playing a starring role in a way I didn’t expect. It’s 19 chapters, 252 pages, and over 94,000 words long. And it is completely done.

Book 2 will start with Chapter 20 and go into October 2003. I’m starting that tomorrow after taking off today for a bit of a break. Break Me Down just has to go through the beta process, but I am tentatively scheduling it’s release date for October.
