I’ll just say something while I can stand on my little soapbox – feed the writers! There’s nothing more disheartening for writers than getting no responses. It takes about a minute to give a few words of advice – we don’t want the world, just a bit of constructive feedback. If you don’t tell us what we’re doing right or wrong, then we won’t know to continue doing it or cut it out. You make us better writers, which should hopefully translate into a better reading experience for you. Don’t underestimate your own role, particularly in this little niche of the Internet.

Something else: I’m working on an original story, set strictly in our own time and reality. If by any chance someone would like to proofread this story, and give me feedback on it, then please give me an email! I’d be happy to discuss an arrangement of this kind with you.

And hey, me and Tyramir have a blog where we try to stay sharp with the writing. The link is up above. Check it out.

Okay, I’m done now. Onto the stories.

Scourge

My first (and incomplete) fic. This was really to test the waters and see what my level of ability was. It slots between the first mini-arc of Cordelia returning and the Beast arriving in season four of Angel. It's about a clan of super-demons that surface in LA because of the mystical energy the Beast is putting out in preparation of its arrival. I think it’s a nice enough story, and I might finish it one day.

The End Begins

Something I try and avoid reading, but I keep it up here because I'd feel like it was self-censorship taking it down. Too many characters, not enough planning...I eventually just ran out of steam with it and never continued. A Buffy/Angel crossover AU.

Final Trinity

Not on my profile - it's here over on Tyramir’s profile. A giant Final Fantasy crossover of every game, but not Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus. As always, Sephiroth gets resurrected, but we're drawing from lots of different sources and I've had fun coming up with all kinds of strange and wonderful plot devices. I write the half involving Squall and his motley crew. It's fun because Final Fantasy lends itself to outside-the-box thinking, so if I want something a bit bizarre to happen then it's usually safe to go there, rather than worry about the confines of reality.

Basically, this is on indefinite hold. Me and Tyramir both want to finish this, and I've got a few chapters written that haven't been published yet, but for various it's just not happening at the moment. Sorry! We fully intend to complete this some day, so stay tuned.

Void (complete)

I started this as a one shot because I didn't want to write any more on Final Trinity (as it would increase the gap between Tyramir and me) but I strongly felt the urge to just write something. It started as a discussion the characters have about what they're going to do after the Serenity movie, but then I had a really strange idea as I finished it off. I wonder how an Alien on Firefly would turn out? And thus, I just had to finish it from there. I didn't warn anyone about what was going to happen beforehand, to preserve the plot twist - I mean, who was going to see that one coming? - but also because I wanted to emphasise that Void is a Firefly story with an Alien in it. I wanted to make it clear that this was the deal people were getting - for those Firefly readers who didn't know the first thing about Alien, it wasn't necessary for them to know, because the Alien is just a plot device in a Firefly story. But for the Alien buffs, there are a few nods and in-jokes I tried to plant. The end is not a happy one.

Nightmare (almost complete)

The thing is, I had a planned three chapters at the end of this story, so going up to chapter 33. I'd written half of 31 and 33, and all of 32. Then I don't know how, but the entire folder just vanished from my computer. It's a mystery. So basically I have to start again, and truthfully, it's probably going to be condensed into two or even one chapter, because I just want this story to be finished. It's been hanging over my head, and I've been keeping readers waiting, for too long to take as long as it took me to write what I had again. I expect it to be done soon, because then I want to crack on with the third instalment of this series, New Dawn...

New Dawn

Not here yet. Check back soon.
