...and posting all my updates from here on out in this one thread. There's a bunch of stories that I need to update, and I felt like I was being super selfish with all of my threads on the shameless plugs board. Anyway, from here on out, I'll post my updates here. ;D
The following will be updated eventually LOL
-Going Home
-Hensley
-Battles Fought, Battles Won
-Happily Ever After: A Companion to Once Upon a Time
-5 Backstreet Boys Stuck in the Fairytales
and...
my new one! I've been working on the idea for this story for quite some time (since February, actually), and finally, because PTW is done, I started this one! I guess I just always need one Nick story at all times to work on LOL
-Someday We'll Know: I just posted the first chapter, but, basically, it's a fast-forward in Nick's life to when he's 49 years old, and he has to deal with his 21 year old daughter and her sneaky schemes to get him back together with her mother, even though they hate each other. If you've ever heard the lyrics to Mandy Moore and Jonathan from Switchfoot's song, "Someday We'll Know," then you can sort of figure out the story. I LOVE the song, and that's where the inspiration comes from ;D
Anyway, that's all for now, folks!
-
aww, Yay! I can't wait till I have some time to read it! I miss you! lol. I'll be home on Sunday! and I noticed you changed your avatar! hehe. You little Nick lover you!
-

Kelly!!! *squeezes you* I hope you're having a fabulous break! And shhhh! no one's supposed to know about that LOL Besides, you're one to talk *winks*
-
So, Happy Thanksgiving to whoever celebrates it! And, I updated "Someday We'll Know"! So far, it's going according to plan. It's pretty fun to write Nick as a nearly fifty year old man LOL I get to use a lot of the old people jokes that I've said to my parents in the past ;) Anyway, enjoy!
-
Wheee! Yet another update to Someday We'll Know! Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to write it all up without breaking to write other stories LOL That would be really nice
-
Aaaand, there's been another update to Someday We'll Know! I hate to stop the roll I'm on, but I doubt there will be another update from me for at least two weeks because I really, really need to write this 20 page paper :( So, yeah. Okay, gotta go write another paper LOL
-
Yay! I broke away from the 20-page paper I'm trying to write by Friday, and I decided I needed to write the next chapter of Someday We'll Know. And I did, so the next chapter has been posted! Whoo!
-
Okay, so this isn't really an update or anything, but more of moment for me to do a HAPPY DANCE!!!!
I AM DONE!!!!! WHOOO!!!
Explanation: I have had to write nearly forty pages of paper in these past two weeks, and it felt like they were eating my sanity. I think they may have. Anyway, I just went and handed in the last of the papers (just one short one left before the end of the semester and it'll be a piece of cake so I don't care about it much) the BIG 20 page one that had taken over my life. Seriously, I dreamed about writing it for the last two nights. It was bad, and now, it's over!!!
YAY!!!! *throws confetti*
-
*wishes she had some of Mare's awesome smilies to do a little happy dance for you!* Yay!!!
-
aww, thanks Kelly! You know what this means, don't you?
I can finally write more Shadows and actually talk to you again!!! WHEEE! I've MISSED you (even though we just talked three days ago...but still.)
Yay!
-
So, if you can believe it, I still have yet to take a single creative writing class. I figured it might be a good idea if I did, but, unfortunately, my college has an extreme limit to the number of students allowed in a creative writing class...15! To be considered, I have to submit a sample short story. I didn't realize how hard it would be to write a short, non-Backstreet story LOL but I did it. If anyone has the time, and wants to help me out, if you could read it and let me know what you think, I will love you forever!
Here's the link to "Stormy Night":

So I really shouldn't start another story when I have so many others already started, but, whatever, they'll all get finished sooner or later...right? LOL
I played around with this idea this past summer, then decided not to do it. Now, for whatever reason, I decided it was a story I wanted to tell. I've always wondered about the variety of reasons why couples get divorced. I mean, they can't always be a matter of she/he cheated or something dramatic like that, right? Most times, it's much simpler and much more complex than that. Granted, I've never been married, but I think it's interesting to look at the less dramatic but more complex reasons for divorce...
So...I started "Adrift": http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8744
Let me know what you think!
-
Wow, I'm on an update roll this week. There's been another Someday We'll Know update! Chapter 6 is up...
-
awww yay! sadly, I haven't written hardly anything this week. I think the Christmas challenge and that's it.
oh, and my horribly awful busy day is turning out to be not as bad as I expected, so Yay!
*skips off to read your december challenge* ...finally
-
the unofficial, self-appointed princess of shameless plugs has another one LOL Someday We'll Know has been updated! Suh-weet! I'm halfway through the story, and I can't wait because I've got like 10 stories backed up because of this one LOL
-
...another update of SWK...not that anyone here reads it, i don't think. but yeah, there it is!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
-

I read it! :P I'm just a crappy reader, and only sporadically review... but know that I'm reading
-

oh goody! i thought i'd lost you because it was getting bad or something LOL it's okay, i'm a sporadic reviewer, too. i can't help it, i know i'm bad ;) thanks for reading it, though! there's only 6 more chapters until the end so I'm super excited!
-
Okay, so here's the deal. I started this story that's basically going to be updated as I need a creative outlet or need to get my creative juices flowing. 5 Backstreet Boys Stuck in the Fairytales is its title: http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8766
And, here's the summary: Some would say the Backstreet Boys have had fairytale-like success. Perhaps the Boys would have agreed…until they were transported into every fairytale they’d ever known. Now, in order to get back to their normal lives, they must overcome magic spells, kiss slumbering princesses, and generally save the day…
I'm going to try to fit in every fairytale that I know of into this one, and it's going to be a lot of fun...like, spoiler here: Brian will be a crab, AJ will be a fat, yellow fish and Kevin will turn into Prince Eric...
If you want something fun and fluffy and sort of along the same line as the 3M's 5 BSB in Search of a Plot, try it out and lemme know what you think!
-
...and, I'm on another updating spree LOL Along with the January challenge, I've also updated Someday We'll Know. 5 chapters to go!
-
OMG, no way! I haven't worked on my little AU, Brian murder-mystery in three months, but I thought it was time that I did. Anyway, I just updated Hensley with a brand-new chapter that I'm pretty excited about! Yay! Maybe, this year, I'll actually get around to finishing it LOL
-
I updated Someday We'll Know last night, and I'm thrilled to say there's only 3 chapters to go, so yay!
-
Fairytales has been updated! Yay! The first chapter is Beauty and the Beast, and, before you think it lol, no, Nick doesn't hit on Belle. Neither does AJ lol
I rather like the Boys as matchmakers lol
-
I updated with the FINAL chapter of Someday We'll Know, so yay!
But, gosh darn it, it is SO hard for me to focus on BSB stories when all I want is to be reading and writing all the original fiction ideas I have.
Julie, I loathe/love you for directing me to FictionPress, which is now my home away from AC LOL
-
I FINALLY finished another story! Someday We'll Know has been updated and completed and it's all DONE! I actually like the ending to this one. Turned out totally differently than planned, but *shrugs* I think it's not too shabby.
To be honest, I think SWK is the beginning of the end of my BSB fanfic-ing. I've got a couple of stories that I still want to finish, though most of my unfinished ones will remain unfinished, since I want to focus on the original stories I've posted over on FictionPress. Anyway, so yeah...YAY for finishing another one!
-
Okay, so I'm not sure this will make any difference to anyone who reads this, but I just wanted to say that I'm fully and completely done with BSB fanfiction. It was nice while it lasted and writing it gave me plenty of experience and helped my writing grow. However, there are greener pastures (lol) that I am exploring, which would be original fiction. I've already got a few stories up on FictionPress under the same penname, so, if you're curious, you can check them out.
Thanks to everyone who did read my stuff! It sucks to leave, but I do think I'll probably write for the challenges because Mare comes up with fun ones. Other than that, I'm done, done, DONE! Sorry for not finishing something you were really excited about. I can promise that Hensley will be completed because it may as well be original fiction, but that's it...
-
Wow, this thread is entirely me talking to myself. Apparently, I like fawning over myself and feeling big, important, and special. Although, maybe I'm just "special" lol
Anywho, I thought I'd post here to say that, after two months of hitting dead-end after dead-end with story ADD, I've finally managed to write something!! YAY! So, I thought I'd continue my one-girl thread by partying because I was seriously worried about my writing abilities shriveling up. So yay! *tosses confetti*
-
YAY for talking to yourself! whooohooo :P
-
YAY for writing new stuff! I'm excited! Does this mean we might be getting some updates here soon?

Yay for two new voices in my thread (besides my own lol)!!
Actually, the writing I'm doing is original, but I'd be more than happy to post it on AC if you want to read it ;D
I'm on a short story kick at the moment, too, so, if I do ever write fanfic again, it'll be short stories. I like them a lot because they're short and sweet. Lately, I've been losing track of my plotlines and getting bored with longer stories (which was part of the writer's block), so short stories make me happy! hmm...maybe I'll post a couple on AC...

Post it! I know I'd love to read more of your stuff, and I am sure there are several people who would agree with me. Between 'Someday We'll Know,' 'Hensley' and 'In the Shadows,' you've hooked me as a fan of your writing style. So I would love to see more stuff from you.
-
woohoo for in the shadows!! See Sarah? we're loved!
-
what? i know you're loved lol the Kelly fawning is at an all-time high with everyone wanting to be your toughest critic
-
Umm, okay. So, initially, I'd posted my original story as a fanfic on AC, but I decided that was just too complicated and would mess up the main characters a lot, so I'm just leaving it as original fiction. I just updated it with the next chapter, so, if anyone's interested, check it out and let me know what you think :)
Oh yeah lol It's called A Queen's Descent. Haha, silly me. Forgot to write the name of the story lol
-
Isn't this the same one you have on Fiction Press?
-
Isn't this the same one you have on Fiction Press?
Yes, but I'd initially decided to convert it to fanfic for AC..but that's just too complicated and would change the characters, so yes, it is the same one. Have you been checking my FP stuff?
-
Have you been checking my FP stuff?
I have. I went over there to read some of Kelly's stuff and saw your stuff there, so I started reading it. =)
-

Oh, nice! Well, I'm glad you've been reading. There's actually one, maybe two(?), that were fanfic I never posted on AC but thought about just posting on FP as original since they were AUs. Hmm, let me know what you think about the crazy mess of stories I have over there lol
-
Short story from me! It's called "Gluteus Maximus Tingleus" and involves Mare, tingling butts, Sam and Dean Winchester, and, of course, the Backstreet Boys!
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8966

Breaking the Unbreakable
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9087
It's not a romance. There isn't even a hint of it in the entire story. And, for real, the summary totally sucks, so please don't judge the book by its cover...not that the first chapter does much, but anyway...lol
-
I like it, I love seeing romance writers turn to the dark side anyway *muahahaha*
But yes, I enjoyed, and reviewed :D
-
Thanks, Rose! I've been wanting to write this story for a couple months now and just couldn't find the time. Then, when I realized that trying to write another romance was giving me writer's block, I gave it up. I think I may have reached the end..or seemingly the end..of my romance streak lol About time, right?
But yay! I'm glad you liked the prologue! The first three sentences of the first chapter have been stuck in my head all day, so I'm gonna go start on them, but I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that did read it. I was so surprised by the number of reviews in my email :o Yay for suspense stories! Here's hoping they'll make a comeback *crosses fingers*
-
The next chapter of Breaking the Unbreakable is up
-
Great job with the new story Sarah. :)
-
Aww, thanks Mare ;D I'm trying. For the first time in a long time, I'm actually excited to write something every day. Yay for torturing the BSB! lol
-
LOL it is oddly gratifiying isn't it?
-
Odd? Yes. Gratifying? Double yes! lol
Does that make us weird and twisted?
-
LOL it is oddly gratifiying isn't it?
That's the wonderful beauty of it ;D
-
Exactly six months to the day since I've last written anything BSB-related, I've actually written something! Whoo! Although, maybe it won't be a whoo once you read the story.
Anywho, it's called "The Emptiness": http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9447
-
*sniff* so sad. and yet so happy SARAH WROTE SOMETHING BSB!!! YAY!!!
Great job Sarah!
-
Nicely done Sarah :)
-
aww, you guys are too good. ;D I've actually written a bit more BSB today than just this story, so...Kelly, check your email :)
-
eeeeeeek!!!!! I nearly screamed when I checked my e-mail!!!! I'm soooooooo excited that this post is starting to look like one of Lenni's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I can't help it!!!!!!!
LMAO ok I think I'm done now. But I'm going to go read it right now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, really !!!!!!!!!!! done.
-
lol You're always way too good for me ;D I just hope I don't disappoint you.
-
you never do.
-
Go Sarah!! It's nice to see you writing something Bsb again! Hopefully this pattern continues! ;D
