As usual I am fashionably late! Erm...okay perhaps not quite so fashionable.
Anyhoo, I am finally getting around to updating some of my older/in-progress fics, and am her to plug them as well as my newer stuff. Sorry, but so far only my non-BSB fics are being updated (though I swear I *am* working on chapters for some of those, none are quite ready for posting as of yet...) Still, hopefully some of you might enjoy my other fandoms!
Criminal Minds Fic: Dying of the Light: http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9482 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9482)
Supernatural Fic: Dancing Down in Red Moon http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7626 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7626) (new chapter to this site, anyway. Also coming soon a new chapter of Road to Hell, but I'll plug that when it's up...)
Scrubs Fic (added a few days ago, but what the heck...): His Holiday Story http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9460 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9460)
and the fic I'm co-writing with Spencer: My Perfect Day http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9336 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9336)

Yay for Chaos writing again! Must go read Dancing In Red Moon and Road To Hell. I always wanted to read those, but I hate falling in love with stories that I'm afraid will never be finished. *cough* Yesterday's Blue Skies Marina *cough* And I always fall in love with everything I read of yours.
But if you're going to start updating again... Must go read...
-
Can't say I blame you (not wanting to start reading something that may not be finished...). My resolution for this new year is to write at least a little bit every day. While I won't be posting something every day, and it may not get all my stuff completed, it should at least get me a long way toward that--I hate leaving people hanging almost as much as people hate being left hanging. (And that line there, folks, is why I'm a writer! :P Erm... or not.) But hey, thanks for having faith in me ;)
-
That is a great resolution! And no one expects you to update every day, just so long as we know you're still thinking about it. (haha not to point fingers, but Julilly doesn't update so often, but I know eventually she will so I sit here... and wait... patiently... or you know... not so patiently... but I wait.) I'll have to read your stories and leave lots of gushy reviews and be your cheerleader so you can keep up the momentum.
I hate leaving people hanging too, and I'm just getting slower and slower with the updates lately. (haha I suck, and have no room to tell people to update.) Maybe my resolution should be to finish everything I've started before starting anything new....
Oh, I finally responded to your reviews. Sorry, I got them while I was in Arizona and didn't have time to respond, but I was super excited that you read my story! Thanks!!
You know what else of yours I still have to go read? The sequel to Ground Zero. (Cause you didn't leave us hanging at the end there or anything. :P)
-
Maybe my resolution should be to finish everything I've started before starting anything new....
Heh. I wouldn't make that resolution if I were you--I tried that last year and ended up not writing anything because I just couldn't seem to work on any of my in progress things. It wasn't until I decided "screw it" and started writing new things again that I was even able to start plugging away at the older things again. I think you just gotta write whatever it is that your muse lets you write, even if it's not the story you *really* want to finish.
On the other hand, I did decide not to start posting any new long/chapter stories until either they're finished (or at least darn close to being finished), or like "My Perfect Day" I'm co-writing with someone so that we spur each other to get that next chapter written, OR until I've finished at least a couple of my other chapter fics. So, while I may be writing them, I won't be leaving people hanging waiting for updates.
And no worries about the not responding to the reviews! I know how that goes. Woot for gushy reviews and cheerleading, though! That really does help the motivation. I still haven't gotten a chance to start reading your other SN stuff, but I'm working New Years (ugh) so I probably will get some time then, and hopefully can return the favor!
-
Yay Chaos!
-
Now i'm wooting for you! Excellent chapter :) *hands you gold star*
-
Yay for updating. :)
-
Thanks for the encouragement. I've now updated "Road to Hell", with some asthetic changes to the previously posted chapters (no major story change, but cleaned it up a bit and made some minor changes), and posting a couple new (to this site) chapters.
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7612 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7612)
-
I made another update to the Road to Hell http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7612 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7612).
And yes, believe it or not, I am finally updating Nobody Else Can Walk it For You with a brand new chapter. http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=1200 (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=1200) (I'm afraid to admit that it's not all that exciting a chapter, but it's all stuff that had to happen to get the story back on track and moving again. Woo!)
-
Woot!!! You are impressing me with your updating talents! But...Why do you always update when I don't have time to read? That's just cruel! lol love how I still manage to complain?
Yay Chaos!
-
LOL. Awww. Sorry. I'll try really hard not to update again! Erm...yeah. :P
(And hey, I'm so far behind on reading that my bookmarks for "read when I have time" fics spans over several computer screens *buries face in hands*. I'm actually afraid to sit down and start reading, though, cuz I'm afraid to break my writing streak...lol)
-
I'm actually afraid to sit down and start reading, though, cuz I'm afraid to break my writing streak...lol)
I do that too! (most of the time.)
-
LOL. Awww. Sorry. I'll try really hard not to update again! Erm...yeah. :P

Um...no, you must update again! You have no choice! lol You have started and now it's too late to back down buddy!
And I wish I could agree with the both of you but i'm ust as streaky reading as I am writing. So I feel doubly ashamed. lol
-
Nobody Else Can Walk it For You was updated? OMG lol. Yay!
I totally need to reread the chapters before it, but yay.
-
Hey, Chaos, Dancing Down With Red Moon isn't a sequel, right? I'm going through your stories right now and trying to decide which I should read first... Of all your SN fic, which would you recommend I start with?
-
Dancing Down in the Red Moon is what I would go with. :) It's awesome! Well, they all are but this one is more suspense for me. But, you didn't ask me so i'll stop babbling now. lol
-
Actually I was going to ask you too, but I didn't want to assume that you'd read all his stuff. So you say Dancing, before Road To Hell?
-
Personally, yes. I think they are both awesome but I would go with dancing. :)
-
I started reading the Scrubs fic when you first posted it but decided to stop and wait until the holidays were over. Now that they are I'm looking forward to getting into that one (and seeing the Season premier tommorrow!)
I LOVE that show :O)
Huge Zach fan ;D

Nope it's not a sequel. I actually would probably agree with Mare on choosing Dancing first, though. Road to Hell...I am still kind of cowed that I'm writing a fic with the basic premise of that one...it's kind of a plot that I once swore I'd never ever write a fic, though I *hope* that I'm putting a good enough twist on it to make it work. lol.
Actually the SN fic of mine that I like best is probably the short one-shot "In Memory Of" though. Of course that may just be because it's finished (unless I get around to writing a "sequel" or continuation.. .but it stands on its own, really...)
-
ooh, his December challenge one or the other one? The Christmas one was super good, but I haven't read the one he's co-writing yet.
-
Yeah, I've read In Memory Of. And you're right, I love that one! I may have to go read it again though, because it was a long time ago.
-
Nobody Else Can Walk it For You was updated? OMG lol. Yay!
I totally need to reread the chapters before it, but yay.
LOL. Yeah I'm as shocked as you are, if not more. I really wrote myself into a bit of a corner with that fic. And to make things worse, around the time that I had my "incident" the thumb drive I was using to keep all my ideas, outlines, and scenes crashed and the files were too corrupted to save, so...my memory not being at all what it used to be, I'm pretty much starting over. Eeps. But, I think I've finally got a new plan that works for it. Woot. (Thanks for sticking w/ it after all this time...)
-

I LOVE that show :O)
Huge Zach fan ;D
So you're the one! (JK. There are like 4 or 5 people reading it on this site, but over on FF.Net there are a few more scrubs readers than over here...)
I can't wait for the premier either! I hadn't ever really watched the show until a couple months ago and then I got totally hooked (I admit the musical sucked me in. lol).
-
My Perfect Day (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9336) has been updated. Woot.
-
Ok, um... so I had some time on my hands tonight, and littered your fics with reviews. I apologize for their rambling nature, but it's just how I operate.
Anyway, I now have to come in here and beg for an update. Not that you know, you haven't been doing an awesome job at that lately, (far better than my non-updating self) but now that I'm caught up have joined Mare in her quest to wait for updates, I feel the need to be vocal about it. Please, pretty please with a cherry on top? Red Moon is seriously wonderful! I'm also going to go read, "Road To Hell" "My Perfect Day" and "Superhero"
Woohoo for late night Chaos kicks!
-
Wow! Thanks so much for reading (and reviewing) all that last night! LOL. Made my morning! I couldn't respond to the scrubs-fic one there, but just want to say thanks! And say that you *so* should try your hand at writing one! There just aren't enough scrubs-fic writers and you'd be an excellent addition! Woot!
I do have to credit Spencer with the idea for My Jinx--and for pushing me to write for the Janitor...and scrubs in general, for that matter. I can't think of a single character on that show that I don't love for some reason or another and it really is fun to be able to get really silly, turn around and be really serious, and write just an absolutely ridiculous scenerio but have it actually "fit" in the fandomverse without anyone really questioning it too much. So again, highly recommend this fandom to write for! LOL
(PS. I gotta laugh at your apology for rambling. This is *me* you're talking to, you never have to apologize for rambling in my presence :P )
-
Aww, well you're welcome. Thanks for entertaining me in my otherwise boredom last night! I did get to Superhero, but I went to bed after that so I still have to get to Road To Hell and My Perfect Day, but I will.
I love your Scrubs stuff! You seriously do it so well. Yeah, part of me thinks it would be fun to try, but I just don't know that I can be that clever and quirky. (highly doubtful) Plus it's been so long since I've watched the show consistently. I'll have to think about it. Besides I am about to dive into a new fandom, so maybe just one new fandom at a time... But until the day I suck it up and stop being afraid to try, I'll just have to keep reading your wonderful stories.
OH! And I was so sad that there wasn't any other VM fics. You got me all excited when I saw that snippet, and then... nothing. No other VM stories. *sigh*
And LOL at you reading "Confession" on a whim this morning. Yeah, that was the challenge where we all made an alias and posted a story we would otherwise never write, and we all had to guess who wrote what. Basically we all sucked at guessing except for Julilly and Sarah. Good times, though. One of these days you should check out Julie's M-Preg fic and Mare's ... wait for it... sex scene!
Congrats on the being consistent with your writing every day! That one is hard, but I'm glad to hear you're doing it!
-
Yeah, I still kind of want to develop the VM fic I was working on, BUT I have *so* many others in the works that I want to finish that I pretty much decided that one probably just isn't going to happen. But I loved writing from Logan's POV, he's a fascinating character.
Anyhoo, I updated The End of the World (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=174&warning=4) today if anyone's still out there reading it. :woot:
I also added another of my stories that was posted under an alias to my own account (yeah, decided it's time to start collecting them all in one spot and owning up 'em lol.)
This one's a Psych one-shot fic called Stranger Danger (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9550).
-
As if I needed another fandom to write [insert angelic smile here]. This is my first(?) NCIS fic. I think it's a one-shot (it leaves some major questions hanging, but they weren't really the point of the fic, so...erm...yea h.) And it's in a very different style (and a bit out of my comfort zone in other ways) so...we'll see how it goes. lol.
Anyhoo:
Honey and Almonds (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9697).
-
:patpat: I read it! And yeah, it sounded a little different from your other fics, but it still had Chaos written all over it! Nicely done! Now, get some rest, that's an order Mister!
-
LOL. Thanks, Kelly. Sadly I'm still at work until 6pm, then have a 40 minute commute home. But then I'm *so* crashing. I hope. lol.
-
So long as you wait to crash until you get home!
-
So long as you wait to crash until you get home!
???
D'oh! lol. Yeah, I'll have to remember that order. Get home, then crash. Gotcha.
-
And now for something completely different. My fluffiest fic ever. I think. Hm.
Dear Abby (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9698)
-
You're making me want to write something! Stop it! LOL I don't have time right now!
-
Go on. Do it. You know you want to. :P
-
yeah, but what? Now I have fandom ADD!
-
Welcome to my world. lol.
-
I'd like to blame you for it, but alas, I know it's all me. You're definitely not helping though!
-
Huh. Apparently I totally forgot to add my previous updates here. Oops.
Anyhoo, I have a few NCIS stories (know there aren't all that many NCIS readers here, but hey...) The first one in particular I would *really* appreciate some feedback on because it was written as a prize for someone on another site and I want to get it fixed up before I send it out to her. SO...if you're into NCIS at all (or if you're not but willing to read anyway), it's
Unbuttoned (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9830)
In addition, some of the other things I posted in the past couple months:
Rockette (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9789)
Geek (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9749)
Boy Meets Girl (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9737)
Body Bag (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9719)
-
So far I've read Body Bag, Honey and Almonds, Unbuttoned and Rockette... I love your view into the NCIS world, Chaos! And of course, you've gotten me into it as well. ;)
-
^woot! So my
evil plan is working! (And thanks! I love the characters on this show--they're all pretty complex and not 'what you see is what you get'. Well, at least not if you're like me and over-analyze them! lol)
-
My newest NCIS fic: Honor (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9844).
Warning: It's a Death fic. And I'm told that the death may hit hard, even if you're not familiar with the character(s). So...yeah.
-
Okay, so "Dear Abby" was my Fluff Fic.
"Boy Meets Girl" was my Romance.
I guess that makes "The DiNozzo Experience (TM)" (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9884) my Slash.
*blinks*. Yeah, Surprised me, too.
This was written as a "Prize" for someone who requested some "McNozzo Fluff". Considering that I'm not generally fluffy, not terribly into romance, and although I've written a few "slash-friendly" scenes, really not a slash writer. Not really anything against slash, more against making characters too OOC.
Anyhoo, I've once again found myself betareaderless, I'm writing outside my comfort zone, and because it's writen as a prize for someone, I'd really appreciate help getting it whipped into shape, so if you catch any errors and/or have any suggestions for improvement, they're really really appreciated on this one!

Dreamer (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9885)
I know I said I wouldn't post any more chapter fics here until they were either complete or nearing completion. This one is several chapters in, but is not complete. It does, however, have a deadline of completing it before Oct 13th in order to complete a challenge, so I'm hoping that by starting to post it, it will make me get my butt in gear and get it done by that time!
-
Yay! Woot for more Chaos stories! We've been spoiled with all the updates from you recently. Thanks!
-
Added 6 more chapters of Dreamer (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9885). Fortunately the "Deadline" was extended until Oct 27th, so I have two more days to write that last chapter. Eeps. Still hoping to meet the deadline, but at least the story's ending is in sight and I didn't screw up by starting to post another long-story that I won't finish! (erm...yeah.) Woot?
-
Posted the final chapter(s) of Dreamer (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9885) :woot:
-
woot! Glad you finished! YAY! If I weren't so crazy busy at the moment, I'd read it. Man November is going to be insane. But you know me, I'll get around to it eventually!
-
LOL. Thanks. I'm kind of thinking it's not one of my better fics, but I am proud of myself for completing it in time to actually meet the (much extended) deadline. Woot! lol. It's a totally over-the-top and not for everyone sort of fic, so no worries if you don't ever read this one though! lol.
I am highly amused by some of the feedback this story got on ff.net, though. One of my favorites:
I've just spent the better part of 2 days looking for this fic again, because I read it when I was drunk and then for the life of me couldn't find it. And I really wanted to review it!
I'm thinking perhaps it's a fic best read drunk? (Though I am flattered they remembered it and actually took time to search for it again. lol)
-
Posted the first 6 chapters of Acquired Tastes (http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9923), which although does have it's humor, is more of a "Case File"/mystery, and hopefully will return me to my "roots" a little bit with suspense.
-
hahaha nice. I wish the reviews I got for my stories were that awesome.

Good for you doing all this writing, Ash!
*gives you a cookie and some nog. You can pick the variety of nog you'd like*
-
Thanks, mare! It's been nice to be on a writing streak again...now if only I could transfer that prolificness to some of my older incomplete stories, but hey...I think the "short story" thing is working out a lot better for me. ;D

I'm on a roll...
