Author has written 25 stories for Life With Derek. (Stories translated into French by Hippocampe - Merci bien!) Age is a matter of experience and opinion. Love the life you live and live the life you love. About me: It's Sarah. "Sez" was a nickname. I've done the high school angst, I've lived the university life, and now? ... Now is the happily ever after. (An amazing husband who has hired a cleaner so that I can write!! and two children who love books). Old enough to know, young enough to care. Favourite Books: David Eddings, Howl's Moving castle, Twilight, and the scores of classics - old and new which are too, too numerous to mention. They began with Catherine Storr's The Chinese Egg and moved on through Paul Zindel's The Pigman and The Pigman's Legacy...please don't ask for a list, because I gorged myself on books from the age of three. I could go to a library on a Saturday take out six books and have finished them by Weds. Why I write: To divert myself - and because there aren't enough happy endings. To those of you who bother to post reviews: You are all fantastic. I read and re-read every single review and I take ideas from the things you say you like best. If I don't acknowledge your review, please don't be offended. I am just slightly overwhelmed by the large number of plot ideas that are sprouting in my mind at the moment. LWD Projects: Dreaming - Derek has a shock when he goes to the movies. Will it change his behaviour towards Casey? And how will Casey take it? - A one-shot in response to all those fics which show one or other of the characters dying without declaring their love. You are always left thinking, if Derek/Casey had seen the movie of this, would they have behaved differently when they got home? - Dasey because it's what I do best. Repeat and Rewind - Derek and Casey's son is a chip off the old block...and he has his own Klutzilla. The Boyfriend - Casey needs a boyfriend for an inter-dorm competition which she must win. And her friend has the ideal person in mind - Derek. The Wedding - (ONE SHOT) There are many wedding fics out there, but I wanted one where Paul plays a part...and the best bit is - he does nothing - because sometimes that's what Paul does best! Derekus Comes To Queens - In an attempt to beat everyone else to it, a Christmas story. Derek and Casey leave it too late to drive home for their first Christmas as college students. An ice storm is hitting London and snow is on the way to Kingston. Faced with Christmas in Kingston instead of London. They ditch Christmas and roll out the Derekus sleigh instead. (I had to post it now, the thought of Derek and Casey trapped at college over Christmas was bound to occur to someone else at some point!) The Management - Prequel to The Wedding. Casey was spotted on a talent show and for the last three years has been a chart sensation. Derek...well Derek has been chasing after a girl again, and look where it's got him. The story of how Derek became Casey's manager in the run up to The Wedding. A Pair Of Brown Eyes - A story I swore I would never write, but a friend persuaded me otherwise. Thanks Kim. Casey and Derek and a little boy with brown eyes. People tell me it's different to what they expect. Read and see what you think. Current Projects: Parental Conversations- The behind-the-scenes conversations between George and Nora (and occasionally a few others) as we trawl through Life With Derek. I start at the beginning with their first date and try to fill in some of the gaps. My aim is to take this Gora through a Dasey and a Lizwin and out the other side. Because McDonald/Venturi love comes in threes. This is still in progress. I do a little bit every week. It's just the other stories tend to take over. The Portent - And now for something a little different (but hopefully enough like my normal stuff you'll want to read it!). Definition of a Portent (according to Wikipedia): ...a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change. May be considered "good" or "bad", but the term is more often used in a foreboding sense, as with the word "ominous". A twelve year old Derek is supporting his two younger siblings through the divorce and is forced to grow up along the way, becoming the Derek we know and...tolerate. It's a lonely existence until he starts to have these weird dreams... Persuasion - Damn! I got bitten by another plot before I could finish The Portent. - My first ever First Person narrative. I don't want to say too much about this as I really want the story to unfold on its own. What I will say is it isn't another baby fic. There's no adopted (or worse) baby in the background. If you like the classics, you might be able to guess at some of the plot... | |||||||
