| IShouldBeWriting |
Author has written 38 stories for Witchblade, Primeval, and Leverage. I'm older than most people here and I've been knocking around fanfiction since the bad old days when we did it all on BBSes. I've got a kid, a husband, a day job, and a house. But I also happen to like to write once in a while. I've got two incomplete stories in the 'Witchblade" TV series universe. One of these days, I'll pick them back up again... Currently I'm writing stories based on the UK TV show, "Primeval". There are a couple of one-shot stories in this account that are based in that show, but I've also got three major novel length series that I'm working on: Hieros Gamos Kentros Is co-authored with LJ user Morrigans_eve. It's an urban fantasy/supernatural Primeval project which I cannot post here due to ratings considerations. The story centers around Captain Hilary Becker, field coordinator Jess Parker, and an original character, Captain Fiona Black. If you are interested in seeing that project, it can be found at invisible_trace dot livejournal dot com Breakable Wrapped around episodes from the actual show as well as containing new situations, this story is a relationship development piece about Jess Parker and Captain Hilary Becker. Can Becker overcome the demons of his past to truly let Jess into his life? Chapters in order are: "No Armor Can Truly Protect The Heart" "Now Purple With Love's Wound" "The Dew Of Compassion Is A Tear" "Whom Then Shall I Fear?" "Where Flowers Bloom, So Does Hope" "Better to be Wounded Thank Always To Walk In Armor" "Hands Are The Heart's Landscape" "The Soul Is On Its Knees" "The Barriers Within Yourself" "A Tripwire Of Smell" "The Obstacles Of Your Past" "Bright & Delicate" "Tearless Grief Bleeds Inwardly" "Where Instinct Fails, Intellect Must Venture" "To Thrill And Faint And Sweetly Bleed" "Messengers" "The Wounds A Word Opens" "Broken Down" "A Quiet Voice At The End Of The Day" "Set Out Into The Deep" "Between Stimulus And Response" "Lose Yourself" "Tread Lightly" "Completely Alive" "The Strength of Love 'Twill Make a Thing Endurable" "The Palm of Your Hand" "Belief in Abstract Entities" "Change of State" Travelers Is a new team-based series of shorts. What if the existence of anomalies means that death is nothing more than a way station for travelers, people who are on their way through time to somewhere else. WARNING: Many characters long thought dead will reappear in this series. Chapters are as follows: "Miles To Go Before I Sleep" "Safe Return" "Death Poems Are Mere Delusion" "An Inn For Phantoms" "The Folded Page" | |||||||||
