A Note From the Author:
I love and hate Dan Brown in equal measure. I’m not entirely sure how that’s even possible. But there it is.
His historical and artistic interpretation of … everything, drives me batshit, in provoking a willing suspension of disbelief that you want so very badly to actually believe, thinking he’s leading you on an epic journey, only to fall flat on your face at every ending he ever writes.
I had to do something about this, having hurled my copy of Angels and Demons across the room in anger and frustration.
I had to save the Camerlengo.
I had to do something productive with a fantastically ruined character of charisma and depth whose motivations were pushed from ‘willing suspension’ to ‘you are fucking kidding me with this shit’.
So here he is…
…and then Ernesto came along with him, because he was so goddamn hateful in the book, and so ridiculously cute in the movie, it was a contradiction that’s never quite worked.
Nothing in Angels and Demons worked, even one of the Altars of Science was placed in the wrong damn spot in Rome! And for the record Raphael has NEVER been buried anywhere else in the history of ever… (don’t get me started cos this could be a long list).
I’m thinking of Sylumizing Dan Brown’s ‘The Lost Symbol’.
Hold onto your butts. Antonio Crisafi is coming along for the ride … just as soon as Speed’s eaten his copy of Langdon’s book.

Timothy Quinn

*Note – this has been updated to fit new canon
Woohoo!!! * Starts downloading fics to read!*
Thank you thank you thank you.
Awesome. I will re-read as soon as my brain comes back online. I didn’t sleep well last night (storms and power kept going out), and I ended up napping this afternoon. And now I have nap hangover, and cannot brain. I has the dumb.

OH..MY..GOD!!!! WHAT THE ….??? I dropped my tablet!!! okay, I’m good, I’m good!!! Though seriously!!!!! How much rewriting did you all do? (But did I miss a new story?)
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Can’t wait for the rest of the week!
*puts pillow on floor to catch tablet*
Should we put warnings on stories may induce dropping, be cautious?
*cackles evilly* no you actually didn’t miss a story – this was the first drop hint at the changes coming. *cackles evilly*
Changes in Demons/Angels?
Yes both stories have been updated to fit new canon.
Roads has more to show for it, which will be seen when it’s posted. But Demons/Angels does have an very important change in it.
So I need to reread and hopefully spot the change.
OK, just reread Demons and Angels, and I have one question:
WTF Ellis and Horatio one night stand how did I miss that what what what? WHAT DID I MISS?
*cackles* this is the new thread thats developed … we decided this would be the perfect spot to drop that particular bomb *grins* Dont worry more about this will come out 🙂
I want to see the fight!
Also, I still occasionally have Sylum-based nightmares where it’s Speed who dies instead of Ellis during that swordfight. Rereading after ten PM=bad plan!
(There’s an evil little part of me that kind of wants that AU, though.)
Don’t worry you’ll see the fight … it’s part of the reworks.
