Update Link: Scars – Part 8
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.

I wanted to drop in to let you guys know the plans for revising Mad World (and when you can expect to see it) as well as plans for resuming regular posting. I got very much in the weeds in October in a lot of things, so I pretty much focused exclusively on getting through the teaching day and then getting Mad World done by October 31.
Re: Flash Fiction. The plan is to bring it back this weekend (November 6 & 7). I have a four day weekend so I’ll have time during the week to get things in order so I don’t have to spend the entire weekend on one project. I’ll let you know if that changes.
Here is a monthly breakdown of what I’m doing from November 2021 through March 2022.

Hello! Just dipping in for a moment to report that I did the impossible — I completed the alpha draft of Book 4 today! It’s around 522 pages and 186k words. I will be checking in tomorrow with more news about revision plans and NaNoWriMo and when you can expect regular posting to come back to Crimson Glass. I appreciate your patience while I focused exclusively on getting this done by October 31. There were definitely days when I didn’t know if we could do it, but I was able to pull it out.

Hey dropping in to let you know that Mad World is coming along great! I had a huge weekend. I drafted eight chapters over the last three days, and we’re on target for the first draft to be done by October 31. I’m really exhausted, lol, I spent most of the extended weekend writing, so I’m going to get off my computer, do some laundry and watch tv to enjoy the last of my day off. Mad World is currently at 22 chapters, 345 pages, and 128k words with another 15 chapters planned. This is an insanely long book lol, so prepare yourselves for February. We’re going to be here a while.
Be back later this week with fuller update.

Update Link: One Simple Glimpse
This story has legit the strangest inspiration for a short I’ve ever written, lol. I wasn’t planning this at all, and I don’t have any of the site set up for it. It’s not in any of the story lists yet and I have to get ready for a doctor’s appointment. I’m off today for my TMJ appointment, and I was going to use the hour before I left to work on Karma. Then my brain did a thing while I was showering and now here we are.
Enjoy!

I don’t like too much time to pass between posts, and since I didn’t end up doing Flash Fiction this weekend, I wanted to check in and let you know how things are going. My writing guru, Lani Diane Rich over at Chipperish, started a sprint community livestream on Saturdays. This was the first week, and I tuned in 10 AM to see how it would go. It’s been a really long time since I’ve been able to write for more than hour at a time thanks to the TMJ, but I was hopeful that a community sprint and the opportunity to work alongside someone who’s been so influential in my writing career might inspire me.
YOU GUYS.

Listen. I knew September 19 was happening, I was aware of the date the whole time, and then somehow — I completely forgot about it. I even made the video last week talking about CG’s history and mentioned the date. I don’t know.

Hey! Just another pop in to let you know where my head and energy is at, and what I’m thinking about for the next few weeks.
September 14, 2021
I haven’t been posting the videos here, but I have actually been keeping to the schedule I set out — three new videos, one a week. I posted the Site & Story Status, which you guys got. I also posted an FMT vlog and then yesterday, I put up a video about Crimson Glass’s history and some future plans. I’m going to embed them here for you guys. On the Mad World front, I’ve been writing. I’ve actually written two new chapters in the last two days and it’s going really well! I’ll have some more info on Saturday. See you guys on Thursday for the Throwback post (which I forgot last week because I was tired lol.) Any thoughts for a story to feature? Or a genre you want to know if I’ve written?
