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.

Update Blog

November 1, 2018

Hey, this is just a quick update to let you know I have started blogging and tweeting about NaNoWriMo and Counting Stars. You can follow it on my blog, Dear Isobel. You can sign to subscribe to updates there — I won’t be annoying you here every time I post.

I also fixed the chapters listing at Mad World. I did a thing behind the scenes that messed it up, but we’re good now.

October 31, 2018

First things first, Chapter Nine has been posted for Mad World. I’ve already scheduled Chapters 10 & 11 to make my life slightly easier and I’m hoping to get the last eight chapters edited this weekend so I can get those posted ahead of time. Then I just have to remember to write these posts so you guys get the links 😛

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) starts tomorrow, and I’m going to be writing Counting Stars this year. I’m super excited to start a new project — pretty much for the last three years, I’ve worked on either Bittersweet or Mad World.

I’m going to be tweeting about it on my @crimsonglass account, but if you’re not much for tweeting, I’m going to blog about it this year as well. (I’m going to try to anyway). It’s a way to keep myself accountable. I post about word counts, good days, bad days, etc. You might even get in progress snipppets as I write. I hope you guys will join me this year and cheer me on 🙂

If everything goes well, Counting Stars will be posted starting in January.

October 29, 2018

In addition to the Mad World update I have for you guys this morning, I also wanted to talk to you guys about the upcoming schedule at Crimson Glass over the next few months.

I had originally planned to publish Book 2 of the trilogy pretty much back to back with Book 1, but Book 2 was a lot harder to write and I had to go back to school. I probably won’t be able to even really get into writing it much until January, so at this point, we’re looking at either February or March for that.

On Thursday, NaNoWriMo kicks off. I’m writing Counting Stars, and I’ll be tweeting/blogging about it. I’ll have links for you guys on Wednesday’s update to follow that. It’ll be roughly sixteen chapters, which I expect to be able to finish entirely in November. I’ll only have to write two scenes a day, which is about the word count goal I have to hit for the event anyway.

If everything goes to plan, Book 1 of Mad World will finish up in the first week of December. I’ll be releasing Counting Stars in January (to run it through beta and give me time to revise). I’ve promised Damaged will return in February, and Counting Stars should take us through the first week of March.

I’m hoping by then Book 2 will be ready, but it means everything in my life has to go just right, and ha, that rarely happens. I’ll keep y’all posted.

Anyway, here’s Chapter Eight. Fun fact: this chapter did not exist in the original draft. I added it later when I wanted more Ric/Liz, Carly, and Jason/Liz material.

October 22, 2018

Keeping this update short and sweet. I’m been mostly MIA on social media and not doing any writing. In part, this is to conserve my energy and muse for NaNoWriMo, but mostly it’s because we’re halfway through the semester and it’s been exhausting.

I probably should have skipped NaNo this year since I have the first draft of a 20 page paper due at the end of November as well, but I’m making some good progress on that project and hopefully it won’t be an issue. Anyway,  that just means Flash Fiction is probably not going to happen much, if at all, until December.

Chapter Six for Mad World has been added.

October 17, 2018

Sorry this was not posted earlier this morning. I forgot I hadn’t scheduled it, and then I was studying and doing laundry, oy.

A note that this story is going to be an ensemble piece, so the scenes I’m throwing at you with the PCPD and the rookies as well as Ned, Brooke, and the teens are there for a reason and are going to be crucial for Book 2. Just an fy 🙂

Chapter Five

October 10, 2018

Thanks for the great response across all the sites for the first two chapters of Mad World! I’m really excited about where the story ended up going and this week’s chapter has some of my favorite scenes across the whole 19 chapters.

I’ve updated Mad World with Chapter 3.

I hope to be back this weekend with some Flash Fic (maybe on Friday) but I have a friend’s birthday party this weekend so I might not be able to make time.

 

October 8, 2018

I can’t believe I finally get to type this!! I’ve been working on Mad World for the last year or so. It was my Camp NaNoWriMo project in July 2017 & 2018 so I’m so glad you guys are finally going to get to read this (and that I can finally start planning something else to write, haha)

I’ve posted Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 of Mad World: Break Me Down. I decided to post two chapters today for a few reasons. One, I posted the first chapter about a year or so ago and it’s mostly intact. I wanted you guys to have new material today. Two, Mad World has an odd number of chapters so this lets me complete the story on a Wednesday.

So excited for you guys to read this! Thanks to Angela for beta reading this and providing support!

I’m working on posting it at the other sites and doing the usual housekeeping stuff (adding to in progress sections, etc).

As for NaNoWriMo 2018, this is the best part of the news: for the first time in two years, I get to start a brand new project. My November 2016 & 2017 projects were both Bittersweet.

It’s going to be Counting Stars! Which is actually great news for you guys. I was worried about the other choices because they’re a bit more longer and more in depth ensemble pieces. Counting Stars is a much more contained unit, akin to All We Are, which was only 16 chapters.

This means I’m more likely to finish Counting Stars in November and have it ready for you guys in January to limit breaks in posting content. Thanks to everyone who voted!
