I know it's been a while since I last posted on this journal. I hope you guys are still around. ;) RL has been crazy lately. But let me assure you that I'd been planning to do NANO this year for a while now. I just hadn't had a chance to announce it here.

Then middle of October, as we all know, Gale got hurt and that sort of pushed me totally out of the writing mode. I had to wait till we got good news on his front before deciding whether I'd be able to do NANO after all. All my B/J, Brian and QAF love is tied up with my Gale love. He is the reason I fell for Brian in the first place. And since Brian is the reason I fell for B/J, and B/J is the reason I fell for QAF, so in a way, it's all connected.

Now that we've had several days of good, hopeful news about Gale's recovery lately, my muse has come out of hiding once more. I believe he's going to recover fully, thanks to God, and believing that makes me feel relieved enough to want to celebrate this good news with a new fic.

My plan originally was to do a gritty, angsty, painful Brian-in-a-well fic which had been brewing in my head for almost a year. Obviously, Gale's accident has totally taken me out of that "give Brian as much pain as you can" mode for the moment. I can't do that to my woobie anymore. Or to Justin either whom I love very much too. Maybe next year, when Gale will have gotten all better and will be gracing our screens and looking healthy and gorgeous once more, I will think about maybe testing the limits of my favorite characters again. ;)

So, I've decided. I'm gonna do the most unassumingly, unbelievably, categorically fluffiest NANO fic ever. And when I say "fluffy", I mean "fluffy". It'll be absolutely silly. No one will get hurt in it. There will be no angst whatsoever (which can be hard sometimes, since I'm an angst-whore before anything else but I'll try). Brian will be... Brian but with a twist. Justin will be in for a series of fluffy little surprises. ;)

I might not post everyday but I do think I'll post every time I finish a chapter, and I vow to finish 50,000 words by the end of the month. It's been a while since I've written anything, so...

Wish me luck. :)

Thought it was time to switch from the old, boring, bland theme on laylafic to something new, fresh and more vibrant. So here it is. ;)

Also, thanks to everyone who's sent feedback on the last chapter of Psycho Fic. I'll reply to individual comments as soon as I can. I've had some people ask me if the entire fic could be made available in one Word doc. To answer them, I'd say... yes, that's definitely in the plans. After Psycho fic has been betaed, I'll upload it in one file and anyone who wants to read it or keep it all together, they can have access to that. The timeline for that is sometime after November, when my designated beta, who's also doing Nano this year, will become available.

Another question was... if I could link to the first chapter, or the previous chapters... to guide those who want to read this fic in its entirety *now*. So for them, I've put all the chapters in memories and the link to them is here.

Thank you. :)

First a note about this chapter: I'd intended to post this chapter the way I'd visualized it, i.e. in 3 main parts. But the sections got too big for LJ so I had to break them into smaller sections. Hence, there are 5 parts instead of 3. Just to avoid any confusion, please note that the main parts are still sectioned inside the cuts as originally written. That's all.

Next a summary of the last chapter posted: Previously on Nanowrimo Story Chapter 17: Justin feels safer when Brian returns from the hospital. A link between Henry's missing wife and Lisa Marie Payne is discovered. Brian hires a detective and secrets his loved ones have been keeping from him are promptly revealed. The police find a link between an old house outside Pittsburgh and Henry. And someone is keeping an eye on the House.

Now on to Entry 19: ( Read more )

Here's the deal...

I will not be posting this year's NANOWRIMO fic as I write it every day. That plan barely worked for the first half of November last year and during the second half, I only posted sporadically until it was the end of the month and I was racing to cross the 50,000 mark till 11:15pm on the last day.

So this year, I plan to write without posting the story everyday and to keep working on it and to finally whip it into shape by Nov 30, 2007 to be able to post in this journal.

And yes, I'm gonna complete this one in 50,000 words. :)

In the meanwhile, the last chapter of PSYCHO FIC will be posted over this weekend. Keep watching this space. :D

And thanks for hanging out with me!

Since I can't deny severina2001 anything (she was the one who pushed me to do Nano after all), when she called for a fic from me especially written for her blogathon this year, I couldn't tell her no. I love her that much. ;)

So check out her blogathon lj at sev_4_blogathon and read the porn. For those who only know me as laylafic, it's posted under my regular lj name: ayesakara.

The story is named "Switch", because I suck at titles (those who're following psycho fic should be familiar with that) and that was the only name that came to me at 2:30 last night when I finished and emailed it to her.

This fic idea was something I'd wanted to do for over a year now, but I was always too lazy to go for it. Being the world's worst porn writer, I just don't have the patience to write out the action because I always, ALWAYS wanna get inside the scene myself and do those things to Brian with my own hands. And lips and tongue and teeth. :D

In any case, please ignore any blatant typos or grammatical errors. It's not betaed yet. I'll post a cleaned version of this story on this lj in a few days when I've gotten the green light from Vicki. And check out the rest of her amazing blogathon stuff. She rocks!

See yah!

Just thought I'd let you guys know this so that you don't start panicking!

My muse is alive and kicking! I have a mental deadline to finish this thing, but I won't tell you what that is. :D But I'm writing, and that's what matters the most! Right?

See you guys soon!

I remember the time when reaching 50,000 words was looking to be a daunting task. Now this behemoth has crossed 100,000 but thankfully, I won't say the end is nowhere in sight. Because from here, I can see the end verrrrry close. Just one more chap to go. YAY!

I just wanted to thank all of you who've hung around for this monster. Thank you for reading and enjoying this crazy ride.

See ya soon!
