Date: 2008-06-16 02:22 pm (UTC)As it happens, we hashed out a final revision for Ch. 4.2 last night, and you'll be seeing it in ... oh, another hour or so. :-)
Thanks for the query; it's encouraging to know that we've not been forgotten during our "hiatus."
Oh, and we've also been continuing to write future pieces of this, even while temporarily stalled on the current ones.

Date: 2008-07-13 10:28 pm (UTC)I'm a longtime
stalkerfan of your work, but since I never use my LJ account I don't comment often. I just wanted to say you guys are amazingly talented, I can't believe four different people can create such a seamless story. If you don't mind me asking, are any of you professional authors?Anyway, bravo for creating an AU vampire fic that manages to be completely canon, without distorting any of the tv character's personalities. Before this story I would have bet that was impossible.
Just wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying following this and that I'm
sitting sentry by my computer hitting refresh every eight secondseagerly awaiting your next chapters. :o)no subject
Date: 2008-07-14 01:13 am (UTC)Glad you're enjoying this ride. It's taking us a lot longer than Aftershocks did, because the universe involved is SO huge. The next few chapters are on the drafting board, and we hope to have the next installment up in a day or two, so do hang in there.
You can probably give the refresh button a rest until tomorrow evening at least; it'll help if you put this journal on your "alerts" list so you'll get an email when we put up a fresh chapter.
Thanks so much for coming out of lurk-mode to say hello. As the original creator of the Distress Call universe, I didn't imagine many other people would be willing to follow me there, so it's wonderfully rewarding to hear from people who are reading. :-)

From:YAY!
Date: 2008-09-12 12:22 am (UTC)BUT I can't open 1.6 Source Animal! The link is there but when I click on it it says I don't have access to the page. Oh woe is me! Do you have any idea what I can do about this?
Thanks for the update!
Re: YAY!
Date: 2008-09-12 12:28 am (UTC)Meanwhile, you can find any chapter just by scrolling through the entries on this LJ page. It's all right here; the links are just a convenient way to keep track of it all.
So glad you're enjoying the ride. :-)

Date: 2008-10-08 09:43 pm (UTC)But we're all deeply entwined in this ficverse and it's not as stagnant as it appears. Hang in there; we're hoping to have the next two segments up in ten days or so.

Date: 2008-10-16 03:34 pm (UTC)You are totally allowed to bother us, and the answer is a resounding YES.
We have finished:
2.4
A gorgeous little Interlude piece one of us wrote
2.5
And we are drafting:
Another interlude piece by that same one of us
2.6, in which they end their time aboard the Silver Bay.
So, lots of good stuff coming up, possibly starting later today with 2.4, which has been in final quality control stages.

Date: 2009-01-04 05:56 am (UTC)We are working on this pretty steadily -- it's a huge ficverse and we've written more than you can imagine -- but it's slow going. There will definitely be more.
It really was an atrocious idea, wasn't it? :-) I'm glad you found it compelling enough to keep reading. When the Collective says "WILDLY AU," we mean it.
Thanks so much for dropping us a line. It's very encouraging.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-08 09:36 am (UTC)I can't wait for the update! I check back about once a day(although I have to admit that I only read it 3 days ago. So its not like I've been waiting that long...^ ^;;;) to see if you've updated it. I'm kinda glad you're waiting to post when part 3 is almost complete because I don't want to have to wait a whole day between chapters. XD
no subject
Date: 2009-01-08 04:21 pm (UTC)We are working on the next story arc, though it is going pretty slow. When we post again we'll be posting a chapter at a time 'til that part of our tale is done, then taking a break while we write the next series of chapters.
This ficverse is huge. We've written an amazing amount of stuff for it already, future chapters, but it's going to take a long time to get there.
Eventually we do plan to introduce a few of the other supporting characters, but that's all we can tell you for now.
In a universe this large, OCs are absolutely unavoidable. Our boys have to interact with people, after all. So you can expect a lot more of them, in all shapes and sizes and levels of morality. Heh.
Thanks for letting us know you're reading. It really is helpful. :-)

Date: 2009-04-17 04:35 am (UTC)We're in the middle of figuring out the workings of the next arc, which involves a rather unusual patient for them to treat. :-) I wish I could say how long it's going to take, but I can assure you there's a lot going on behind the scenes on our various journals as we are continuing to draft it. And notes from readers only serve as encouragement, so thank you.
wait for it...

Date: 2009-05-15 02:37 am (UTC)If it is okay with you ladies I wouldn't mind sharing my converted files with anyone else who has a Kindle. I still want to do a little tweaking to the original PDF file of "Aftershocks" (adding an appendix with the comments because many of the comments and discussions just add to the story) but I currently have both converted to .prc file as they are. I provide an updated version when I am finished tweaking (still learning the conversion software that allows me to tweak the PDF).
Obviously "Distress Call is incomplete but I will definitely be updating the file each time you guys update the story.
Hope all is well and time and RL has permitted you to continue with the story. I patiently await the next updates.
Thank you for sharing your talents!

Date: 2009-05-15 03:32 am (UTC)Hi. I mean ... wow.
Share all you want; we think it's pretty amazingly cool, in fact, and very unexpected, and ... wow.
You'll be pleased to know we've been actively drafting the next arc of this story; I was putting part of a chapter together just last night. It isn't just stagnant even when it moves slowly.
Thanks so much for dropping by with this. It's just ... wow. :-)

More soon! Adieu for now.

Date: 2009-07-28 05:51 pm (UTC)We are working on more of this ficverse, and adding us to your friends page is a great way to keep up with it. We're afraid this thing has a very irregular schedule ... because it keeps getting bigger as we write.
While Distress Call is a giant work in progress, our first Big Project, Aftershocks, is completed. You might enjoy that, too. But ... don't get yourself in trouble at work.

Date: 2009-07-29 12:53 am (UTC)Your writing is so vivid. It's like I'm right there with the characters. I mean when Greg tumbled and rolled in the dirt, I could see and feel it. I cannot wait for the next update. I am so excited :))))

Date: 2010-02-20 10:58 pm (UTC)And for your encouraging word of the day...
I passed this story on to my father who is a big science fiction fan but not a big House fan. He tolerates House because of me but otherwise he could care less. He loves it and asked me to pass along his compliments to The Collective. He also said to tell you to hurry up, he's 80 and wants to find out what happens before he dies! LOL! :D
On a side note I am finally back to getting things tidy in mobile format. It's taking a lot longer than I thought.
And of course THANK YOU ladies for all your loving care, hard working and sharing your talents with us.

Date: 2010-03-28 03:30 pm (UTC)This is, like, the coolest thing ever, and I'm so sorry we didn't respond sooner. We were sort of grinning like idiots and I think we all figured one of the others could find something intelligent to say.
I'll try to help you out here. We've got one segment just jammed in "neutral" and it's frustrating, but it'll get worked out.

Date: 2010-06-07 02:11 am (UTC)Hi! I'm sorry this is anonymous, but I'm a bit lazy to have an LJ : )
A friend suggested this story to me, and I must say, I'm usually leery of fanfic, especially AUs. But this is fantastic! Really ... I'm a writer and have done copyediting for book publishers, and the quality of your writing -- the care, the attention to detail, establishing mood, dialogue -- is far better than most of what I've seen professionally.
And the fact that you could do something so very AU and have them still be so very House & Wilson is truly impressive.
Anyway, just wanted to say that your work is appreciated ... And, seeing how long it's been since an update, I hope you haven't abandoned this. Because I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Thanks!
Emi

Date: 2010-06-07 02:21 am (UTC)I hope you're still reading this thread. This fic is very much alive, just delayed due to Real Life kicking two of the main contributors in the ass. We've been drafting away on the next arc when we can. It's largely because we do put so much effort into it that it takes this kind of time. We appreciate it so much that you notice and that you chose to tell us so.
*is all warm and glowy*
If you do get an LJ account, you can put this journal on your alerts list and you'll get an email when we update.

Date: 2010-08-26 01:26 am (UTC)I hope every thing is OK with you. I really miss your story. It looks like from the comments that you had been planing to post sometime in July but didn't. I can only guess that something must of come up or that the story was not where you wanted it to be. Looking forward to wherever you are planing to take this story. I hope you will be updating soon.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-26 06:32 am (UTC)Yes, we're all right. We were indeed working a lot on this in July, and before we got it where we wanted, I suddenly found out I had to move by the end of August! It's been pretty stressful, but ultimately a good thing.
Thanks so much for the check in. I hope to get this thing back on the rails soon.
