looking through rosy-colored glass

So it's been a long time since I've posted here -- fannish migration and general difficulties with the site have led me to transfer most of my online activity to tumblr and Ao3. I was under the impression that not many people even visited my old livejournal anymore.

However. A recent comment I received on one of my fics suggests to me that this is not entirely true. So in the off chance that anyone's still lurking about reading this, I thought I would make a post and mention that I recently moved into the original fic publishing realm, with a collection of three short stories that I put up on Kindle. The collection itself is called "Three Stories" (original, I know). This is the summary:

Three interconnected short stories about family, love, and the slow process of moving on. In "Equation," a middle-aged man faces his father's mortality with the help of his ex-wife. In "Deleted Scenes," an aspiring actor finds new dreams and new connections. And in "Old Injuries," a runner learns that sometimes the best cure is the truth.

For those of you who are here because of my Glee fic, I will freely confess that these stories use two of the OCs that I created back when we were still speculating as to Blaine's family background -- Ben from the Ben!verse and Cassidy from the "Born to Run" verse. Obviously, these characters have changed somewhat in the transfer from the background to the foreground. But if you have fond memories of those particular characters and would like to see them in their own stories, it might be worth checking the collection out!

Regardless of whether you do or don't look into my stories, if anyone is here reading this, please have an awesome day. And if you haven't already, consider looking me up on tumblr or Ao3 sometime. Same username both places, because I'm a fan of continuity.

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Nothing major. Yet.
Spoilers: Potential spoilers (kind of) for all six seasons of LOST. I feel like at this point I've warped Glee canon so much it's physically impossible for me to spoil anything from that show. Bat country. We are in it.

.
Author's Notes: This is a Glee/LOST AU crossover. This story is a work in progress.

NOTE: The story will go on hiatus AFTER THIS CHAPTER so I can get a decent chunk of Part Three written. The whole thing is outlined, Chapter One is already written, and I'm starting Chapter Two. Do not panic. It will be fine. Everything will be fine.

Previous chapters and supplemental materials can be found on the masterpost. As always, if I haven't adequately explained any of the LOST stuff, please feel free to leave a comment here and/or pm me. I will answer. Unless it's a spoiler; then I might hedge my bets a little.

seldnei and the-rainbow-jen have been very patiently beta-ing chapters as they are written and then rewritten and then rewritten some more, and helping me through when I stop writing entirely, and I am enormously grateful to them.

NOTE: The story will go on hiatus at the end of Part Two, so I can make sure I have a nice backlog of chapters from which to post when I get going on Part Three. This will hopefully not be a very long hiatus, but I'm not going to give a definite time frame yet. Pray for me. Pray for us all.
