Netwanderer: Blog

It was fairly easy to update chapter 1 so I did so and resubmitted for posting under current guidelines. The rest will take a little more work but I think I can fit them into where the story is going, I will just have to excise a few characters and maybe create a couple of new ones. Slow and steady wins the race.

The story seems to have been removed and I am not sure why...

Please stand by.

Okay, so since I had last posted along this line there is now a 14 year age minimum. I could easily adjust this particular section, but it won't make much sense for where the rest of the story goes without some adjustments, which I may do.

Still please stand by.

Seriously. I have no recollection of originally writing it.

I've been cleaning out some old old notebooks and I found a notebook. When I opened it I found a story I have absolutely no recollection of writing. From other things in the notebook it looks like it was written in the mid to late 90s, just when I was starting to write this type of story and when I still wrote on paper. I read it, and realized with a little cleaning up, it was pretty decent, so I did just that.

It's only the first part, and I can definitely see themes I used in other stories like IOA.

I've posted the first chapter under the Netwanderer classic universe and will post the next two a few days apart.

Also, an irons in the fire update...

I've got a couple of projects in the works.

I actually wrote a followup to my most recent D59-DCTU story, did the whole thing and decided I hated it. So that's on hold.
I am also working on finally finishing Islands of Adventure and getting that posted - I hit a spot and was stuck for a while, but just yesterday came up with an alternate scene that will work and get things moving again.
I also dug out my old notes from Mummy and started plotted a few more chapters of that...

Also, when I found this notebook, there were TWO stories in it. The second is MUCH darker than the first, more in line with the Kelly series, and I am honestly not sure what I am going to do with that. I probably will transcribe it, if just for archival purposes, but not sure I will be posting it anytime soon.

I'm really going to try to publish SOMETHING at least once a quarter this year, but thats up to real life...

Yep. It's been over 6 years since I have posted a story. But I am back! Maybe?

So, the short version. 6 years of writers block. I have at least 15 stories in some stage of development, in different areas, including expansion of 2 existing stories, several new ones, etc. But over the last couple of years I got stuck on all of them, either on story dead ends, or blanking on where I planned to go.

But for the first time in a few years, yesterday, a full story idea popped into my head. End to end, all the details. A little bit different from my normal stuff (and in many ways the same).

I was watching an episode of Supergirl on the CW and a thought occurred to me. The DCU has 52 parallel earths. What if the earth of my D59 universe was one of those. Therefore, would not some of the same people from the D59 earth exist on some of the parallel earths. Would there be a D59? What would happen if there wasn't. This meant only one thing. Crossover. Everything kind of flowed from there.

So, tonight I submitted Parallels Part 1 for publication. It's part of the D59 universe, even if nothing is happening there yet. And its a combination of 2 of my favorite forms, FanFic and D59 type stories.

Even more exciting, I have a rough idea where this could go longer form, hence the Part 1 (specifically I have an idea for Part 2 and the End. Will this sudden convergence of creativity and time last? I wish I knew, but lets see where it goes.

Sorry folks! Some unplanned real life drama has delayed work on the last two parts of Valentine. Hoping to get back on the ball shortly...
