A Beginner's Guide to Shattered Salvation
It's a big story. Here's what it's about.

[A Guide to Story Arcs]
A Guide to Story ArcsFirst, it helps to understand how the story was written. It started as a one-shot (which you'll see as chapter 2, because chapter 1 on FFN is the overview), then I added a different point of view on the same scene as the one-shot (chapter 3 ( Read more... )

Yay! To be completely honest, I've lost track of a lot what's happened in the story, too. :( Part of that's due to having so many other similar stories written over the same time period.

I really liked your take on who is with who for what. Interestingly, I had never thought of Sylar and Peter as the OTP O_o in this story... I always liked Heidi and their relationship. I can see how she and Emma would have made their choices. Real life is so messy and complicated, and I always appreciated that about your story ( ... )

Do what to know what really happened with Peter leaving a very vulnerable Heidi with an extremely fragile Gabriel?

I forgot.

I don't mean I forgot what happened there, I mean I forgot that there was anything Peter (or anyone else) should have been worried about. It did not occur to me as I was writing and publishing that maybe Peter, Angela, Maury, Mandy, or SOMEONE should have expressed a little concern about what was going on for poor Heidi. I've been pregnant. I've had two kids. I know how utterly fucked up a woman's mind can be (or at least how bad mine was) after giving birth. Both times, I and the infant was delivered into the hands of my abusive, manipulative husband to take care of (badly) and society considered that good. Maybe that has something to do with where my mind was in writing those scenes ( ... )
