When you least expect it Re: FDK Face Up Reply #47 - Aug 23rd, 2010 at 3:08pm Print Post I was so delighted with the scene with Jackson. that really was the icing on the cake... actually the cherry on the icing! Just finished a lovely afternoon drawing. Nothing special but nice when it works out. looking at it for a while to see if it needs tweaking and then I'll email a scan if you want.. The Man.. as usual! Got one of Ginny I am going to do for Matt... but don't get your hopes up Matt.! I need some air. WWW IP Logged

I'm assuming that the medical staff member it belonged to, had been compromised. Did you leave that open ended by design? : Not a quibble, just curiosity. What do you mean, we're out of coffee!

Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK Face Up Reply #50 - Aug 24th, 2010 at 6:43am Print Post I left it unresolved, because it was obvious that it would be resolved soon. Like the nameslip under the painting in the second story, it wasn't really important to pursue that thread any further. It did what it was supposed to do, which was to move the story along. But feel free to chase those rabbits all you want in your imagination! IP Logged
Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK Face Up Reply #51 - Aug 24th, 2010 at 6:54am Print Post I have to say that I wasn't happy with the way my story ended. Too abrupt, not enough emotional upheaval (which I find very difficult to endure in reality or write about in fiction!) But I've known since I started this series that this scene would be the hardest to do. And it sure as hell is! So I'm in the midst of rewriting the damned scene (Ch. 7) for about the fourth time, and when it's finished -- properly this time -- I'll post the story on my website. But I probably won't repost the scene here on the forum. So if you too wanted things to get resolved a little more realistically, you may want to go to my website in a few days when it's up and read it there. IP Logged

When you least expect it Re: FDK Face Up Reply #52 - Aug 24th, 2010 at 7:06am Print Post Ah Denise.... go on. post it here as well! You could always post it as an alternative ending... sounds intruiging... go on, give us a clue.... does she slap him across the face? run off with Jackson instead? go back to Seamus in tears? knock him out and tell the aliens to come and get him? sniggering here! I like the ending, but I can see what you mean, so if it is going to be as good as the extended epilogue in Face Off... then Great!! Off to finish a certain liaison with a dragon! I need some air.

Louise, you should have heard my beta tester! Man, did she read me the riot act! But that's why I keep her around. She doesn't let me slack off when I'm tired and just want to be done with a story. She made me thrash out the entire scene until it was clearer in my head. Hopefully now I can transfer that image into words that resolve things more successfully. (Keep your fingers crossed!)

I know what you mean.. I was getting a little 'jaded' with Glitch but having done 'it' yesterday, (which exhausted me!) i am looking forward to carrying the story through to the end... although I have absolutely no idea how to end it. So, Cait is going to sell Ed to the aliens eh? Sounds good to me! I'll buy him if they don't want him? Can I have him second hand when they've finished with him otherwise? smirking here now... smirking..... more self-satisfied than sniggering!! I need some air. WWW IP Logged

(Or to Louise, that would be okay, except she might put him in the hospital again, or have in abucted, or worse... ) Let her rip Denise, it will be her one chance to rip hubby a new one! (Unless they have more children, then all bets are off! ) Let us know when it's posted, I want to read it! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK Face Up Reply #56 - Aug 24th, 2010 at 4:06pm Print Post I think I have it fixed now. It didn't take nearly as long to whip it into shape as I thought. I had the right idea for it, but it was all jumbled in my head. So I'm off to reread it after a break to eat, and hopefully it will still sound good afterward. If so, I'll see if the delete button is working and get rid of the old chapter and replace it with the new. Thanks for your encouragement! It means a lot! IP Logged
