FanFiction Exchange

I lied.

Sorry!!!  But I had to!!!  I already had a great alibi, my story was not done until after the submission date. In fact due to the awesomeness of my new beta, we ended up taking to the very last day, but she came through and busted out this story.

So I was not given a lot to go on.  And my brain wanted E/S/G.  So I sat here for a week or two (not sure it is all a blur in my head) telling my family I was hating not knowing what to write about.  I listened to music, I looked at millions of pics.  Anything to find inspiration to write this fic.

And then one night, I was listening to Between the Raindrops by Lifehouse, and the beginning hit me.  And I went with it. NO idea what it would become, I let the muse have the reins and just sat down to enjoy the ride.

Then I got nervous and told my betas.  My pre-readers Royal Ember and 4Padfoot stepped up to read it.  And they encouraged me to keep on it. That it was brand new idea to the fandom.  MissRissa81 was there checking it out, and making sure I wasn’t skipping anything as I wrote.  And they pushed me to finish it.  They wanted to know what was going to happen.

I never wanted a 27 chapter story.  I wanted something short, that way I could get it written, edited and beta’d before it was due.  But did my muse listen?  No.

But I did celebrate the day I finished the writing.  Then the next day, I got on the story to edit it.  Many things are added to the editing process.  Jason was given more time in the story to cover some blanks.  I fixed the second lemon to be better.  And over a couple thousand words were added. And I ran it all through Grammarly.  I learned some things from doing it.  I do recommend it to new authors, or authors like me who don’t understand things.  In addition, it gave me a huge boost when it started to send me the results each week of my work.  Seems I use more vocabulary than 98% of it’s users.  Go me!!! And I write a lot more.

At first, we had time, and I was doing the chapters here where the Beta will correct to make sure they were done.  Then I got sick.  Yeah, no fun and the pressure was on me and I just felt terrible. As soon as I could, I was in here in the office, on the laptop, anywhere to finish editing and posting for my beta.  I got done, and I went off to relax.  My beta was all set to work on the chapters, and then her internet went down.

She stayed up to I think 3 or 4 in the morning my time, to finish betaing the chapters.  I was right there with her, blearily blinking my eyes, but as she finished a chapter, I would strip it from anything that is my normal practice on posting and send the watered down chapters (not the content, just no title, no previous, and so on that I do) to the Queen of Area Five.

And she was awesome throughout this thing.  I told her where I was and she pushed out my submission as far as she could so I could finish.

I have to say I liked the result.  There is a little Doctor Who for anyone who watches it (10th doctor!!).  If you ever are curious, that episode is how Lucifer escaped.  There is Asimov in there.  There is many examples of what shapes me to who I am in this fic.  The muse dipped deeply in my subconscious for this one, and I was quite amused on how it came out.  I never got to use the InuYoukai that I found.

I own NONE of the pictures I used for this fic.  As often as I could, I used the artist’s copyright in the banner and left any signs they made it there.  Unfortunately, since I was going so freaking fast, I didn’t get the links to the original pics.  If anyone wants them, I can try to find them for you.

Now, I am still working on linking all of this, as well as adding the pictures, making banners (for both the chapters and the characters.)  Since I will be out as of Wednesday, I am going to be posting this all at once everywhere.  So as I work, this story will be added to until it is done here.

Here is the main page, and you can start there.  If you don’t mind, leave a review.  This story was so outside my normal, I want to hear your thoughts on it.  It is finished, and posted over on the Fanfic Exchange.  I will be working REALLY hard to post this here and the other places.

Hope you enjoy this, especially Natsgrl1.  I pushed myself to make sure it is a story worthy of your awesome talents!!

And Huge thanks to Queen of Area 5, for not only working with me, but for writing my own story!!!!  I loved it!!!
