Author has written 13 stories for Shakespeare, Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, and Lord of the Rings. Dear Any Readers I Have Left: I am reawakening to my writing like a bear reviving to the springtime: hungrily, groggily, and awful crankily. By which I mean to say, bear with me. I have relatively new projects I've started, which I am still working on, but also, I am working on older work I never finished, and doing other things on the side, still, and starting to remember other ideas I had that mapped out but never started... I'm all over the place. But I'm back! Yes, that means my long-neglected "Kidney Pie" is rising again from grave! I hope to post the next chapter (or rather, the rest of the last chapter) before very much longer. I have another chapter and a half of "Where Is Thy Horn" that just needs typing, and a one-shot I wrote on the side. Soon, friends... Soon... "BUT THE WORK WAITS! I'M ALIVE AT LAST! AND I'M FULL OF JOOOOOOOY!" Stories: "Macbeth's Halloween " and "Thanksgiving at Elsinore" are both a joke. "Crack-fic" would be the word for them. Hell with it. They'll stay on. But don't read them unless you're looking for a laugh. And I mean a laugh at my former inability to write, not at the story. "Curse of the Scottish Play" is stuck in a rut, and I've more or less given up trying to pull it out. But I don't suppose anyone's waiting with bated breath for the next chapter. And "Macbeth of Moray" was updated, what, a year ago? Two? How about four, by now. I have the rest of the story planned, but I don't know when I'll ever actually write it. "Dunsinane's Storm" is finished. Just a one-shot. "That's the Throat to Slit," my first Sweeney Todd story, is finished. So is "Have to Hand it to Her"is finished, which is another oneshot, and just a funny one. "The Secret'st Man of Blood"is finished. My little commemoration of the 954th anniversary of the Battle of Dunsinane. "Kidney Pie" is a Sweeney Todd - Jack the Ripper cross-over, and, as I've said above, is once again in progress. "Nativity" is my first Phantom story. It's about young Erik and the Gypsies. Kind of a Christmas story. It's finished, but may lead to other things... "The Last Trip Home" is also a completed Phantom one-shot. "Where Is Thy Horn," an AU Lord of the Rings story, still in progress. | |||||||||
