Story Updates - AS&CW

[dreamingdarlin]

I think doing the little Xmas fic got my juices stirring, that and a few nudges that made me feel guilty.  The first e-mail I replied that I couldn't think of a plot since a major plot twist of mine was already being done by someone else but then later that night an idea came to me and the next day I started on the next chapter of African Skies &

Now that's sweet of you, thanks!

I need to get back into reading fanfic. Can you tell me a bit more about African Skies, since I'm new to your LJ? :) Which fandom is it from and what is its rating?

[dreamingdarlin]

It's an X-Men story with Storm and Wolverine paired up and rating's mild as I can't do NC17, not good at it and it bores me often. I enjoyed writing the first few chapters but can't exactly say the rest are great. I struggle with longer stories but keep writing for practice. It's also based on the Movie which I actually hate - all of them. Perhaps hating the movies the story's based on isn't a good start for a story but it's my second one. I guess I can mess with them more and it's believable. Ah well.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. When my new computer is installed and I don't have to use my work computer, I look forward to reading your RoLo fics!

About the Xmen movies, I personally love them and hate them. They are what got me into X-men in the first place. But there was so much wrong with them! I prefer The Animated Series from the 90's. But there are bits and pieces that I do like from the movies.

They have a new cartoon coming out called Wolverine and the X-Men I believe. Here's the link if you're interested.

Hope that works.

I have a soft spot for that story, so I hope you will be able to sit down and work on it.

The nice thing about posting story updates here instead of on the Realm is that you have a smaller audience who can still give you feedback, and it's a trying ground for beta'ing and brainstorming. That's how I felt when I started Give Me the Night here.

Hope you are having a good weekend. I get to go off to work at three. Thanks for the card, Darlene!

I considered that and used to put my stories up here first while they were works in progress and I enjoyed reading yours. I actually wrote reviews for them but decided not to put them up until you posted at the Realm and I read the finished version. I still need to get caught up there!

AS&CW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SCREAMING WITH DELIGHT!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO I was just looking at that story, AGAIN, yesterday and sighed with sadness because you haven't updated. BUT NOW YOU ARE WORKING ON IT! I'm so happy. (sniff, sniff No I'm not crying, it's only dust in my eye.)

Ah, thanks, Rolletti that's so nice of you. I finished the chapter, just have to tweak it a bit.

Ooooh, an update! I look forward to anything from you! I love your fics! I need to reread AS&CW to refresh myself, so yay! I love when a story I like feels new again! w00t!

[dreamingdarlin]

I know what you mean I've been re-reading AS&CW to refresh myself and it rekindled the enjoyment I felt when I first started it. I hope it shows in the next chapter.
