Project: 2013

As 2012 starts to come to a close, and I zap my owners with cattle prods to get them to finish up the odds and ends and edits of several stories scheduled to come out for this year’s Advent, I’ve already started looking toward the new year.

 

(points up…this is what Gil is doing right now)

 The biggest project by far is the next storyline for Border Clan, centered around Dom and Brian and their new Mate, Ronon. It will continue the storylines you will find threaded throughout many of the Advent fics of 2012, and will span a timeline of five to six years. I have ideas for the story that I’ve been lobbing at Gil’s head over the last couple of months, usually when she least suspects it.

 

Another story that will be written and likely posted during 2013’s Seven Days is the story of Don and Charlie Eppes, and how they managed to get themselves into a spot of trouble and ended up being turned. I was supposed to prod my Gil into writing this for Advent, but alas, she seems to think that school is of more importance than trying to squeeze in another long story among several others at the end of the year. I tried to get her to change her mind, but I ended up with this look:

 

I decided that in this case that it was probably better to leave it be and not risk getting my fur singed off from the fire coming out of her nostrils.

There will be more coming out for the Criminal Minds characters…I’m anticipating several stories, both timestamps and longer fics, coming out throughout the year, to move said chess pieces where they need to be for upcoming storylines. *cackles evilly*

I am also attempting to cajole Gil into working on some of the Old West stories, as well as the stories involving David Crockett and Daniel Boone, and the Magnificent Seven group. They’re beginning to insist on their stories being told as well, and well, most of them are kind of cute and tend to get naked at the slightest provocation, so I can totally get behind that.

It is likely there will be more from fandoms such as Hawaii 5-0, NCIS LA, and SGA as I prod my other owner into submitting to my will. I’m not sure exactly what I will be torturing her with, but we shall find out soon enough.

In July, at the Gathering, I will be combining forces with Bob, Bob 2, and several of their minions to continue plotting for future stories and solidifying timelines so that we are better able to hit our owners with new and altered storylines that will inevitably go epic.

Why do I get the distinct feeling that when the Bobs knock, the door will be answered and we will get this response?

 

 

Ah, well. Such is life, I suppose. Now if you will excuse me, Gil needs to resume her school work, and I need my nap so that in a few hours I will be fresh to clamp my razor sharp Wraith-teeth on her leg and get her to writing for tonight.

Damn Italian Update

‘Demons and Angels‘ has been finished and is in it’s last stages of editing.

The artwork for it is in it’s last stages of tweaking.

The Sequel ‘Roads Untraveled‘ is starting the editing process.

 

What does this mean?

 

It means in a few weeks – you’ll be seeing these two stories!!!

All leading up to Advent!!

 

Wow time flies when Bob and Bob 2 is driving their writers insane!

 

Sylum Update

Sylum Advent is fast approaching.  Fast.

*eyes fics that need to be done*

So with that in mine I figured it was time to do an update of where things are.

Evolution is on it’s final Chapter. *woohoo* So far the Arc looks to be surpassing 400 + pages.  It’s got some great new characters, wraps up some storyline, and sets whole new ones.  This one has been long in coming mainly to do with RL and it being a bitch.  But now that I’m close to the end I really like how it turned out.

Damn Italian – you’ve probably heard this curse a few times.  Well it started off with Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons…. then worked it’s way from there.  These two stories plus the next Fast Furious Story that Gil is working on – is soon to be debuted.  The post-production on these guys are taking longer than anticipated but they are coming.  And I will say you’re in for a treat.  Demons and Angels will introduce whole new characters and clans, while its counter part Roads Untraveled will continue with the story and bring in variety of characters and histories.   The next Fast/Furious will bring the gang closer as they pursuit an enemy.

All three of these are tied together – which is the beauty of Sylum.  The stories interconnect.  For this particular group – to understand Roads Untraveled you have to read Demons and Angels.  And if you want to know what some of the F/F Guys are discussing in their fic – you must read Demons and Angels.  Plus all three of these tie into major storyline down the road – some of which will come out in Advent.

Ah Advent.

It’s that time of year.

Lots of good things heading your way.  Next installment of The Fisherman.  The circumstance behind Jim Longworth’s turning.  New H50 Fic.  An introduction to the Annoying Englishman.  Then there’s the Frenchman who snuck into storyline.  More stories about Border, Tallikut, and Serenity Clans.

So as you can see many good things to look forward to!

Quick Note: During Advent we post links to the Advent Calender on the list – this year we’ll also be posting them here.  We’re prepping to make this blog the main source of information for Sylum so if you haven’t please click the subscribe button on your left.

Thanks!!

We’re in the Final Stretch

*dances around*

 

Finished Chapter 7 of Evolution!!!! Despite the extras Bob tossed in! Hah! *eyes evil bunny*

This particular Arc has been a long ass journey.  Between RL and Bob, it’s been started, stopped, started, reworked, additions added, re-started and finally now close to finishing!

 

For a thanks for sticking by me:

 

Tony stood up next to his brother; “We’ll discuss this later.”

 Speed just grinned over at him. “You complained dad didn’t take you on the Vatican adventure.  Admit it you haven’t had this much fun in years.”

 “We will for sure be discussing this later.” They looked over their shoulders to see Jethro and Horatio glaring at the both of them.

Alien’s Summer of Fun

*hops in with shades and a towel*

 

Hello, everyone. I saw that Bob was talking about what he was doing to torment BJ, and I thought I’d give you the inside scoop on what kind of torture I have in store for my owners.

 

First, there’s the next story for Border Clan, entitled Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye. It takes place in the early summer of 2006 and involves many of Border’s members. I’ve been jumping on top of Gil’s head daily to get more and more words written, and it’s coming along swimmingly if I may say so.

 

I’ve also started my annual poking for stories from Shep for Oceania Clan, most notably from the H50 and NCIS LA characters. She has no idea about the teeth-sharpening appointment I had a couple of days ago just especially for her. *cackles evilly and prepares to bite*

 

*coughs* Okay, where was I?

 

Oh, yes. I also have many fun things planned for Gil for the latter half of the year.

 

I’ve decided that Don and Charlie Eppes need to come out and play, and their story has to be told, and on the other side of the country, the men and women of the BAU will find themselves in a little bit of a windstorm soon enough.

 

Daniel Boone and David Crockett are getting most insistent that their own stories need to be told, and they’re tied up with the stories of other characters within Border, most notably Chris Larabee and Jason Doyle, who will be making his Border debut in Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye.  He’s been around for some time, but had been busy elsewhere until recently.  I fully plan to brand my taser and threaten her until she begins the detailed outlines for these stories.

 

I prodded Gil’s short timestamp that takes place after The Darkest Hour and manipulated it into becoming an at least 10k word fic. *rubs paws together with evil glee* That should teach her to ever think she can write anything short.  There is also a timestamp dealing with Dom, Brian, and their new Mate Ronon that takes place just before and during Evolution that I think needs to be written, just as soon as Evolution is complete. She will be hearing from me about this one soon.

 

I have many other bunnies that I can lob at Gil and Shep’s heads  at any given moment, when they least expect it, for so many characters. I’m also conspiring with the one I call Shadowdancer, the graphic muse that lurks in the dark recesses of the home, making her presence known without ever being seen. We have big plans for Gil. She has no idea what we’re planning, but it should be fun when she finds out.

 

Until then, a small snippet from Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye….

 

His arms flailed about for a moment before he managed to find purchase on her shoulders, and then he tried to shove her away, a movement that was as ineffectual as he feared. Still he continued to struggle against her, becoming more and more lightheaded, his meager attack on her lessening, until he couldn’t move his arms anymore.

 

His vision darkened until it was as if he were looking through tiny pinholes, and he could vaguely hear someone speaking, but his drifting mind couldn’t latch onto any of the words. So this is death, he thought to himself.

 

Then a splash of warm, metallic liquid splashed into his mouth briefly, making him gag, until his body kicked in and drank down what was offered. His mind remained in that vague nothingness until the liquid was gone, and he faded into the black.

 

The Theory of Evolution

While Bj is distracted with actual work (she had this theory that she has to work for a living and not devote all of her time to me… What is up with that?!) Anyway. While she’s distracted I figure I would give a sneak peak into my evil plans.

Evolution. It’s been a slow process, I blame the Damn Italian  while ignoring the fact I was the one who came up with that storyline.

Evolution. Yes I’m getting to that.  Chapter 6 is in the final stages which means only two more chapters to go!! Which is good cause I have evil plans and ideas that need attention.

There’s the IMF Bunny that I’ve outfitted with full gear including harness and wire, ear piece to communicate to the Yogurt Eating Bunny From Hell (or so Bj calls him), a tricked out bow and arrows, and the Mission Impossible theme song that plays as he hovers over Bj.

Then there’s the next story in The Fisherman Series.  As of the moment Plot Crab is working his summer job at the Pirates Ride at Disneyland – when he gets done torturing the Tourista’s he should be back tormenting … working with Bj to get that story done.

James Longworth is demanding his story – I’m not sure why he thinks he gets priority but he’s a snarky bastard and sneaky.  And that Mate of his even more sneaky.  I can admire that!

Then there are the small bunnies that I leave laying around for Bj to trip over at the most inconvenient moments.  *grins wickedly*

Snippet Teaser (Because my kid Bob 2 learned being an evil tease from me)

 “The problem with you.” The sound of sirens could he be heard in the distance as smoke bellowed out of the office building. “You have no faith in humanity.  Theirs or yours.”

*falls over dead*

The next time Speed makes a suggestion that there should be something in Sylum involving a book, a film, and enough research to be able to do a guided tour around Rome with my eyes shut and my paws tied behind my back..

…I’m moving to Rome.

Teaser – unedited (because I’m evil and y’all need to learn to live with that!):

Saint Peter’s Square.

They had to be close to the end.

They hit another gate.

Heavier.

Dustier.

Also unlocked.

They were inside the city boundary itself, surely?

The noise outside faded off a little.

Still they ran.

A sharp turn to the right.

And without warning the Passetto simply ended.

A thick wall of riveted iron blocked their way.

Nick slapped his palms on it.

“No way!  Not after this!!” he cried, scrabbling around for a handle, a switch or a release mechanism of some kind that would give them access.

He felt like a rat in a laboratory maze, facing one too many puzzles before a wrong decision blew his constituent atoms into nothingness.

“Wait!  Wait, wait!!”  Langdon realised what they were facing, and totally understood the fury Nick was experiencing.  “Un Modo Portale!  A one way portal.  Architects call it a Senza Chiave.”

A keyless door.

For total security from the outside.

It was perfectly smooth.

No hinges.

No knobs.

No entry.

A surge of utter panic hit both Vampires square in the chest.

“It only opens one way,” the Professor explained, “on the other side!”

‘Demons and Angels’ – by Timothy Quinn, coming soon to Sylum Clan.
