To Boldly Go...

So I updated my ff.net profile regarding Standing Ground and never posted over here. Chapter 8 is almost done. Nothing will be posted until after the new year, but 8 will be up by the end of January. I know it's been a long wait and offer apologies.

I hit a giant roadblock with this story for months and lost the will to write. It's not an excuse but with RL becoming real difficult and tiring, it did nothing to help me get my muse back.

**ps-Like my 3rd NCIS:LA icon? I want one for Gibbs but...I think that would be a cop out *laughs*

So yesterday I reread Quiet Comes the Dawn by Admrl. McGill over at ff.net. It is a wonderful Harry Potter story that continues directly after the ending of Deathly Hallows. There are 10 chapters and though it hasn't been updated since 07' the author is back from a hiatus and is hoping to continue shortly.

It really is my all time favorite HP fic that I have ever read. And it is extremely well written. Go and check it out.

Another fic (series) this time are the wonderful HP stories written by Chelles over at ff.net. They tell the story of James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily and friends through Hogwarts. (Before Harry..)
 
Then continue on to James and Lily's untimely death, (Potter Legacy...)

And then at the end, the story from Remus and Sirius starting during book three, (Ties that Bind...)

All three are great prequels to the nooks we know, they just don't include details from DH.
 

So after the M*A*S*H Anniversery Special, TVLand aired a bunch of episodes. Of course it all reminded me of how much I absolutely adore this show. I mean I first really started watching it a few years ago when Hallmark channel would aair like four episodes a day. Thats when I watched the majority of the series.

Of course before I could see the early seasons (I had started at the beginning of 4) I watched the anniversery special. This was how I found out about Luietenet Colonel Henry Blake's death :( So of course this made me eager to see the early episodes and very eager to see Abyssinia, Henry.

The last scene has remained hands down  one of my favorite endings of any television show I have ever watched.

Of course this put me in the mood to watch some of the After Mash series that I have. Yet I need time to watch all that in one go and preferably be off work the next day. However I don't have that option until atleast next week and even that may be up for grabs.

In other news I finished rereading miss_porcupine's Qui Habitat Universe. Something I have done before but never in one sitting. Surprisingly it is no longer kinda depressing (which I can argue it really isn't because I have a skewed sense of whatever in regards to what I see/hear/say), since a lot of it involves death, invasion and loss in our favorite Stargate Universe. No, today I just had the craving for more, more, more! I always do but the little voice in my head was more demanding this time around.

It left me also wanting to reread Orpheus but that is another thing all together mainly cause to me it is slightly more depressing (again in regeards to my skewed whatever) in a whole different way. But It is still a great story that I love to read, as all of her stuff is:) I do want to reread the rest of her stories as well but again, it's in the realm of I want more, more, more! That and I have read all of those so many times that I know them all by heart so sometimes it's not as amusing to reread some of them.

So I just spent the last half hour writing up a page long outline for chapter 8. These are things that are definitely going to be in the chapter and just from that I can tell you it will more than likely be the longest chapter to date. It may take me a little while to write it up because there are somevery important parts in it that I would like to be as perfect as posible before it gets betaed.

Though I am hoping to aim at having an update every two weeks, so if all goes well-Twice a month.

This may be staggered-some time this week I am heading to my cousins to say goodbye to their 17 year old dog, something I am dreading.

General Disclaimer: I do not own RPM or Ziggy though it would be nice if I did.

AN: I am working on Chapter 7 of Standing Ground. I promise. I was in fact working on that when this Ziggy piece would not leave my mind so…

I would like to write more RPM but I need a bit more of a feel for the characters. Plus I don’t want to leave the JF story hanging.

General Disclaimer: I do not own Lily or Theo or Fran….Nor I own anything else related to Jungle fury.

AN: So I made a resolution-Every chapter from now on will be longer than the last. I will try to uphold this to the best of my abilities unless a chapter meets a natural endpoint and I can find no way to justifiably extend it. This means in the end, that you all can look forward to a chapter that has more than 2,021 words and is more than five pages.

Previous Parts: One Two Three Four Five

 

General Disclaimer: No I don’t own Jungle Fury. Stop asking.

AN: So as you may have noticed, this story finally has a title! Thanks to ChildofDarkness1988 over at FF.Net, it is now called Standing Ground.

Sorry this took so long, I got side tracked reading Of Love and Bunnies by CrazyGirl47 again over at FF.Net. *NEVER* Read any of that story after midnight!

 

My aunt had a heart attack this morning (she’s fine), and I have to work over 20 hours the next 2 days but I wanted to get something out now in case I am not able to for a few days.
