Dear Carter series

I’ve found that I’m most interested in writing about life after the fighting is over, but to do that, I have to reach further back for context…and then further…and then further…until I’m with Teh Gang right after they’ve returned from the Holy Land. And I’ve decided the best way to sketch in what happens in Sherwood without being ( Read more... )

Because I have to pay for an upgraded account to do polls on LJ, and because I don't have to pay to do polls on FanFic.net, I've put a poll about future fics there. I've got ideas, but I'm not sure which ones should take priority. I'd love LJ input.

Hmmm. A fanfic author was recently prosecuted--and acquitted--of obscenity for what admittedly sounds like a pretty ghastly story. Quotes from the piece:

One popslash fantasy came to public attention this week when, most unusually, its author found himself in court. Darryn Walker's writing is darker than most. The 35-year-old former civil servant's ( Read more... )

First off, I've posted everything (okay, I'm still a couple of stories short) on FanFic.net.

Secondly, I wasn't overly thrilled with the last few chapters of "The Prodigal," but I was rushing to get them up before last week. So I made some changes to the last three or four installments when I posted them on FanFic.net. Nothing big enough to change ( Read more... )

Just a word to everybody who suggested I post on FanFiction.Net....I'm trying! I opened an account, I put up with the 48-hour waiting time in letting new people post, and now I've put the first couple of chapter of "Dear Carter" into my document manager....and that's it. The system doesn't seem to recognize that I've got anything in document ( Read more... )

So. It's finished. What was going to be a little almost throw-away four-parter on Allan a Dale turned out to be six chapters, put up in a total of 13 sections after I realized the first couple of chapters were intimidatingly long for a lot of people to read in one go. That's at least 45,221 words, according to Word for Windows (where I wrote it as ( Read more... )

I've updated the fanfic chart in a semi-timely manner. The latest installments are now attached. And the end is in sight!

That's it. Except that comments on the fic are luvvvv.

1. I couldn't take the frustration of waiting for the security clearance any more, so I got up off my couch and went to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, where I'm (theoretically!) going to be working. I got a late start, they close on the early side, and it took me longer to get out there than I anticipated, so by the time I actually walked through the ( Read more... )

I've actually managed to update my fanfic chart in a timely manner this time. I've added my most recent installment of "The Prodigal," which I only put online a couple of days ago.

Which is a back-handed way for me to plead for comments, even if you don't like it. I've gotten no reaction to it so far, either on robinhoodbbc or on robinhoodfic  and I've gotten a grand ( Read more... )

After a lot of back and forth, I've decide to cut this out of something I'm writing because it holds the plot up too much, but I love it so much, I can't let it die unnoticed and unmourned.

“Look, I’ll come straight to the point, lads: What are we going to do about Allan?”

“Do?” asked John.

“Yes. Do. You said yourself he’s kind of wobbly. We need to ( Read more... )
