A couple of housekeeping notations. On the series page, you’ll notice the Liason companion series to The Adventures of Lucky and Lizzie has disappeared. I’ve mixed those six stories into the existing thirteen and rearranged the listing so it works in chronological order. It’s part of my overall plan to revamp the series page. Good Associations got an updated banner image.

I added a new Story Status update — the most complete one I’ve posted in a few months. I also added the plot sketches for Heaven Forbid since I decided to discard the story — its also been removed from the Coming Soon page.

I’ll be updating The Best Thing as soon as Chapter 17 comes back from the beta 🙂

Didn’t update yesterday — it was a super busy day and I had a lot going on. I finally received word from UCL in London that I’ve officially graduated so my degree has been certified and I can now apply for jobs based on having a masters degree, ha. It’s fantastic news, I can’t wait to have money again.

Additions
Mad World: Chapters 13-15
True To Your Heart: Chapters 6-7
Shadows: Chapters 2-3

I’ll be back sometime this week with an update for The Best Thing.

The Best Thing has been updated with Chapter Sixteen. I haven’t done nearly as much writing on my in progress stories as I’d like for the last week or so, I’ve had a rotten sinus infection right after a crappy cold.  Story of my life.

I updated the Ebook page with the links to All I Want For Christmas — I aplogize for delaying on that in the last week. Please let me know if any of the formats I post don’t work.

I’ve also revised the release date for The Best Thing as a finished ebook (and as a finished story). By rewriting the ending, I added about, ha, ten chapters.  So rather than finishing up maybe midway through February, it’s more like sometime in March.

I know people might not pay attention to my Coming Soon page, but I mentioned on Monday that I had moved The Sisters to the Fiction Graveyard because I had decided to rewrite it. I had been playing around with some ideas on rewriting some things in 2002 and decided, instead, to combine those ideas with some of the elements I liked from The Sisters. That new story is Bittersweet, which is a massive rewrite of Jason’s return. I’m sure some people might be getting frustrated with my newer stories and not writing some of the previously planned ones, but I go where my muse takes me. I don’t post anything now unless I know I can finish it.

So will Bittersweet show before other, previously planned stories? Not before All We Are, but possibly along with Mad World or Burn in Heaven. The outline is working really well, but I’m only about a third of the way through it. We’ll see 🙂

 

Hey! So this week’s update is a bit small. I only updated two stories rather than the customary four.  I’ve bitten the bullet and moved The Sisters to the graveyard.  I’ve disliked it almost since I finished it. It was a lazy rewrite of a badly written first attempt at fanfiction in 2002. I like some of the elements too much to let it languish in nothing. Plus I’ve always wanted to return to the summer of 2002 and rewrite the Luis Alcazar storyline 😛

Not positive about updates for this week just because I’ve been a bit stuck writing The Best Thing, so I don’t have a lot of chapters ready and what I do have isn’t beta’d yet. So I’ll keep you updated.

Your Graveyard Updates
– Mad World: Chapters 10-12
– True To Your Heart: Chapters 4-5

Welcome to 2015! I’ve uploaded a new layout, but I’m still tweaking it. I’m still learning the ins and outs of designing for WordPress (particularly the comment section) but I’m satisfied with the way it’s coming along. I recently found my General Hospital CD with my picture collection dating from 2002-2005, which is fantastic, so I celebrated with a few old photos in the top layer.

Yesterdays is now the featured story until the beginning of March. It’s one of my personal favorite alternate universe stories so if you haven’t read it, please check it out.

I’ll be back on Monday with updates for the Fiction Graveyard 🙂

Happy New Year’s Eve!

I added Part Eight and the epilogue to All I Want For Christmas, which draws that story to a close. The Best Thing, Chapter Fifteen has also been added.

There’s some housekeeping that has to happen with those — All I Want being moved to the completed section, some ebook links added and whatnot. I’ll take care of that today before I go out.

If you check out the ebook section, you’ll see I added an in progress section. If you’ve fallen behind on The Best Thing at all, you can now read in progress versions of the ebooks so you can catch up at your leisure. Every time I update the story, I’ll update those files.

Have a great New Year’s! I’ll be back at some point this weekend, hopefully with a new layout.

Another update for the graveyard section. 🙂 The Best Thing is still on break with the holidays and whatnot. I hope to have it back soon.

Your graveyard additions:

• Everytime – The discarded Part 2 to the short story.
• Mad World – Chapters 7-9
• True To Your Heart – Chapters 2-3
• Shadows – Prologue & Chapter 1

So here’s the second part of my Christmas update. Most of the good stuff was posted yesterday, I’ll admit. However, I’m posting the concluding segments of my Christmas short story, A Merry Little Christmas, as well as several previews.

Your previews are the opening scenes to Feels Like Home and Burn in Heaven, and previews for an upcoming chapter of The Best Thing and All We Are.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! I had mentioned on my Facebook page that I was planning a few special Christmas surprises, so I hope this lives up to it. I’ve got a few things for you today, and a few things tomorrow.

1. The Ebooks page has been completely redesign so hopefully it’s a bit easier to find what you’re looking for and answers a few more questions. For those of you who may have had trouble with the file formats, I’ve included a .pdf file for the two books that are currently online, Daughters and A Few Words Too Many.

2. All I Want For Christmas – Part Six has been added. There are only two parts left, and will be posted December 27 and December 31.

3. On my Facebook page, I asked for some prompts to write a new entry in The Adventures of Lucky and Lizzie. Caroline sent me in one, so I wrote The Envy of All Men.

4. And finally, as a sort of follow-up to Other People’s Truths, a ensemble Christmas story set this year with everyone from Dante and Lulu to Jake and Elizabeth. The first part of A Merry Little Christmas is posted today and the conclusion is one of your presents tomorrow.

I don’t think I’ll be posting The Best Thing today. I sent the chapter over to Cora later than I should have, and you know, it turns out there are holidays and what not. Ha. I’ll post it as soon as I get it back 🙂

Happy Holidays!

Your new weekly Fiction Graveyard update! Today, we have two more new stories and updates to longer ones.

So the way the update newsletter works is that you guys get emailed every single new post I make on the site. Most of the time, this isn’t a problem, but with these particular updates, I worry that you guys forget at first that these chapters I’m posting today are not part of stories that are actively ongoing.

The only stories I am actively updating now are The Best Thing and All I Want for Christmas. Unless I indicate otherwise, any other story updates will either be short stories or additions to the graveyard section, which means they’re incomplete stories.

I discovered the rest of the missing chapters for True To Your Heart on the Internet Wayback version of the original crimsonglass.com domain, so that’s really good. I also discovered that Silent Reverie and the unposted Shatter each have a missing Chapter 4 that I don’t have anywhere. If anyone knows anywhere they may have been posted, please send over a copy!

I’ll be back on Wednesday with All I Want and The Best Thing.

Additions This Week
