A short chapter this time so that it could end at the right place! The name "Mr.  Meanscary" is not mine, it is from an absolutely delightful comic called Wondermark and if anyone from there wishes me to change this, just ask and I'll change it.

Next chapter will hopefully be up soon, now that finals are winding down.  My goal is to post the actual ( Read more... )

2 PARTS. LIVEJOURNAL. BUTTS.

The Comfy Mountain Motel is also a real place (but I changed the name because of reasons). So is the museum they stop at later, but I took a bunch of liberties with that one because (a) I couldn't find details on what it actually has there and (b) the scene was originally written for a different museum all the way back ( Read more... )

Trigger Warning: Suicide.
( Roxanne yawns and blinks a few times, shaking her head and peering at the road. )

Again, a huge thank you to Karen B. Jones for road trip ideas (and all the other ideas, too!). This chapter would have sucked without her.

This is in 2 parts again.  Livejournal.  Butts.
( She opens her eyes and frowns. )

So this is a fairly short chapter, because if I didn't cut it where I did, it would end up being somewhere in the vicinity of fifteen thousand words instead of five, and as much as I like the long chapters (and I've decided I do rather like the long chapters), there is such a thing as too much.  And there is some incredibly personal stuff coming up ( Read more... )

( They switch drivers and top off the tank just outside Denver, and Roxanne slips into the driver's seat. )

Pretty much all the fun road trippy things in this chapter are the result of people giving me ideas.  Karen B Jones, especially.  Thank you, seriously.  I have had NO idea what to have them do on this trip.  I mean, zero ideas.  Chapter 4 has more fun road trippy things; I already had this one mostly drafted when I posted Chapter 2, so there wasn't ( Read more... )

A big thank you to Pitbulllady from the Megamind Livejournal community.  She posted art a while back of Megamind and Roxanne watching the aurora borealis from Ludington State Park, noting that it was just north of where Metro City would have been in real life.  Her note gave me a much more accurate idea of where to start this road trip and how long ( Read more... )

Here we are again! Oh man, I can't believe how excited I am to start posting this.  I've been looking forward to this since halfway through Cold Fusion.  *rubs hands together* This is a fairly short first chapter; I'm trying to avoid the crazy-long chapters from Hallows' Eve but maintain natural pacing.  I'm still working on how much is too much ( Read more... )
