Title: In The Shadows
Post by: honey on September 26, 2007, 02:28:28 PM
Sarah and I have finally decided to stop gushing over each other's work and put all that energy to good use.  Thats right folks, starbeamz2 and honey have teamed up to create the ultimate Brian fic! :o Yay for Brian fics!!!!!!! We're really excited to be working together and have come up with an idea that were equally stoked about, so if you get a chance check out our first of hopefully many compilations! 

It's called "In The Shadows" and it's going to be primarily a suspense/romance with a bit of a superhero feel.  Yay for super b-rok!!! :D

here's the summary and the link! Check it out, cause Sarah is the best and I'm excited that she wants to write with me! :-*

Unable to save his wife, he spends his nights in pursuit of all that is evil.  Determined to apprehend the vigilante behind the capture of dozens of low-life criminals across the country, she plans to do whatever it takes to find him.  When their paths collide, neither one will ever be the same...

Quiet you ;) I'm so excited that YOU want to work with me!

Anyways, this story's going to have something for everyone, even if you don't like romance. We're trying to give it a comic book feel (Batman, anyone?). So, if that sounds interesting to you, check it out!

I've read what you have posted so far and I must BEG you not to let us wait too long between chapters.  This sounds like a story I will love.

 ;D Thanks so much, Maggie! We're trying to work as fast as we can because we've got ideas bouncing all over the place, even though most of the time we have the same ideas at the same time because we live in each other's minds LOL Hopefully, we'll have the next chapter up by the end of this week, so you won't have to wait too long. We, too, are dying to see what happens to Brian!

So before I forget, I finally got my act together and wrote the next chapter in the great crowning glory of a story that Kelly and I are writing! It's been updated on AC, and, hopefully, I'll stop being a lame writing partner and help out in getting the next chapter up soon! For those who've been reading it, we hope you enjoy..If you haven't...you SHOULD :)

Kelly updated our lovely collab today! It's a fun chapter, and we're finally starting to get into the story! While we're both working extra hard on specific stories, we're still going to try to fit this one in, but we're having lots of fun with Brian playing a vigilante who's trying to save the world one bad guy at a time! Check it out *nudge*

aww. Did Sarah put you up to this? lol

It's coming, I promise!!! Literally like paragraphs away. (I've been stuck...)  I hope tomorrow, but maybe Saturday cause I have a busy day. Thanks for the interest though! :-* We're glad you love it!

LOL I promise, Kelly, I definitely did not tell our fans to fawn over the story in order to inspire you to write more...althoug h, come to think of it, that would've been a great idea!

yaeh, at this point I'd take anything to get me out of whatever this little writing funk thing I'm in is...   Ick. I haven't been this blocked (for all my writing) in a very very long time. What's my dealio? Somebody come kick me cause I have two other stories beside this one that I am dying to write on and I"m just ...  :P  right now.

Maybe you should just drop Shadows and go work on the other two stories...unle ss you have general writer's block for any and all of your stories. In which case, I would say go see Dee's thread LOL Maybe reading some of the January Challenge stories would help because they're all fabulous ;D
Title: Re: In The Shadows
Post by: honey on January 04, 2008, 07:11:16 PM
lol maybe. I dunno. I'm just good and stuck in general.

*prepares opera singing voice*  LAME!


and yeah, I've read all the threads. I know what usually helps. It might actually be the crappy rain. We're drowning over here. I think I'll just have to wait it out. huh. oh well I have some reading to do anyway.

Post by: honey on January 06, 2008, 12:17:06 AM
ok I just spent like I don't even know how long on here chatting and not finishing this chapter... Am saying goodbye now to go and do that so that we can finally have an update.  :D

Aww. Am I a jerk for never wanting to write with anyone else besides sarah? I've actually turned a lot of people down in that department and I always feel sooo guilty about it. I love everyone but I'm such a one man show because I'm a bit of a story nazi and if Sarah didn't basically share my brain then I probably couldn't co-write with anyone.

I was actually really surprised how Sarah and I's collab came about. She seemed almost like she was afraid to ask me if I wanted to do a story together and it wasn't the first time someone had asked me to work with them. Usually I cringe, but when Sarah asked I got all giddy and was like we could so totally write the bestest Brian romance ever! So I never even hesitated. Weird huh? I never thought I would do a collab. (other than 00carter, but that's a huge thing and much different than working with just one other person.)

OMG NO WAY! I can't believe it either, but...There's an update to In the Shadows!!

Now, don't get too excited lol It's not really an update, update. It's something I like to call an interlude to the story. What I added to the story is actually a short little chapter designed to get me back into the mood to write Shadows. Kelly and I have been kinda letting my lack of motivation slide, but I thought "No more!" Our readers want the story, so we're gonna give it to them lol

Anyway, we both really liked my little writing exercise lol, so we hope our readers will, too! But yay! There's finally something new!

This time, there's been a real update to In the Shadows! I worked my fingers off on a chapter that ended up being almost 15 whole pages, and Kelly and I think it's pretty good on getting the ball rolling on the real juicy Avenging Angel/Mac's investigation parts of the story. So yay!

Also, since Kelly's writing next, I'm sure there will be an update soon since she's faster about those than me lol
