Achievement unlocked: 40K!
I have written 40 000 words [and counting] and leading up to the cliffhanger ending in just 20 000 words more.
Or, knowing me, possibly more. Lots more. BUT - 40 000 words is the bare minimum for an official novel.
So who wants in?
You might be aware that I’m trying to make a living with words. Anyone who doesn’t… go check out my Smashwords account and buy something, plib-blobbit!
Ahem.
Thing is, I need beta-readers. People willing to read things-I-consider-finished, things-I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-with and things-I’m-checking-up-on-to-see-I’m-still-going-in-the-right-direction. AKA WIPs.
I have a whole pet universe I want to share. Short stories, long stories, stories of inbetweenish dimensions… all waiting for readers to help with the

Challenge #00056: Human is as Human Does
When blandness strikes! Also include an explosion of confetti.
Certain words are a portent of doom.
“I’m bored,” is definitely two of them. From Shayde, very much so.
“I told you to subscribe to the calendar of events,” said Rael.
“I did. It kept spammin’ me in weird languages.”
One of these days, she was going to learn not to tick checkboxes she didn’t understand. “I’ll help you

Evoverse: Sara encounters the Morlocks. Up to you what happens next, but I am genuinely curious *chinhands*
Cold. Wet. Hurt.
Okay. Alive. Alive is always good. Remember the three O’s. Objective, Orientation, Orders.
Objective. Um. Getting out of here would be nice.
Orientation. It’s dark. Way too dark. Wind-up lantern in right hip-pouch. Get it. Wind it up. Find out where one is. Find out the damage.
Ow. That was going to hurt when she warmed up.
Orders&

So I took my laptop and my novel-in-progress with me on a grand adventure, this afternoon.
Said adventure involved writing two more pages and some damn good stuff.
But when I got it home… the laptop won’t work.
It has power. It was working just fine when I shut it the last time. It just won’t. Turn. On.
And I need those two pages, dammit!
Are there any Mac experts out there who can help me? I

So far, I’ve had requests for Love is Blue, Misfits, and that weird one with Kurt and Todd as a couple after an avalanche. I don’t recall a title.
The bad news is, I don’t think I even have that last one. I’ll look, but I have a LOT of fics, some of them are doubles, and not all of them are mine.
The good news is, I already posted Misfits. Starting here.

I just hit 30K words.
Halfway to having a decent novel.
And I still have to write two more. Yaaaaayyy…
Now I’m on the home stretch, I’m thinking about how to handle the second book. And how I’m going to handle polishing the first novel whilst writing the second.
Any volunteers for beta-reading?

There was that one time with the limes, the rhododendron hedge and the grand piano that all parties agreed never to speak of again…
Oh, the potential for each of these. I don’t know which universe to play with. So I’ll play with all of them :)
There is a certain genius for mischief. People who possess it are generally pranksters and the geniuses at it can make their chosen victims laugh at their own predicament.

Have hit 20K words.
A minimum of 40K to go.

Oh, and someone pre-chewed a bug for someone else.
Fun times.

Scott and Sara’s father have a conversation about Sara, Todd, Jean, Duncan and life beyond being a mutant. Bonus if Sara herself makes an appearance.
Sam found him staring at nothing, leaning on a balcony rail and looking teen-serious, aka constipated. “You’re looking flabblegabbed. Sara happen to you?”
“Uh. Yes. Sir. Mr Adrien.”
“You can call me ‘Sam’ if it suits your fancy.” He joined the teen at leaning on
