Alright TJ
I have noticed the amount of stories that you have done and I feel it is about time you did a real series...not just a trilogy but a series....
You are an awesome writer...up there with some who produced awesome fanfic series.
I challenge you my darling girl...
Um.... Joy to the World is a Series. Snowbound is a Series.
And Sunset and Invasion... they are so long, they could be called Series too, had I broken them up into smaller stories. And TECHNICALLY, Turning Point and It's Not Easy Being Green happened in the same AU as Discovery/Recovery/Reconciliation. So all three of those could be considered a 'series'.
But honestly, nothing has struck me yet, along the lines of your Final Battle AU. Perhaps, one day...

Nice challenge Ebony ......
But there are so many great authors over on Gatchafanfic who do not have series.
Why would writing a series make her better.
Besides, why do all stories have to be connected to one another. Sometimes I prefer "short" stories that are not connected to any other events or situations. And TJ does so well at writing this way.

But really, if I make it a new story every time, I can keep changing around whom the Swan ends up with....
No CD I didn't mean it would make TJ a better writer...I just had the thought thats all...I did say that she had done some great trilogy's...I just wondered if she had an AU in mind at all...
It was a compliment...anyway

Ahhh! now you are saying it will make TJ a worse writer, Ebony.
(JUst kiddding Ebony)
I do realize what you were saying Ebony. And I think TJ has stated somewhere that she would find it hard to stick to a AU.
She likes switching the Swan/Eagle/Condor pairing too much.

So, in your opinion, how long does a fic (or group of fics) have to be to constitute a 'series?

I think more than 3, a series is really an AU, you have stories that link in together, you could keep adding to it.
You are good at Trilogies TJ...
I guess I had the sudden thought because I was looking at the drafts I have for my AU.
There are about 5 stories aprox to write up for it yet. I will do them but post them in order. I have the end of the war to do and Jun and Kens wedding day, along with others that I have planned.

Well then technically I do have a series
I have Turning Point, then It's Not Easy Being Green, then Discovery, then Recovery, then Reconciliation.
5 stories... it's a series! Whoo hoo!
Lies on stomach propped up on her elbows with her chin in her hands looking so admiringly at TJ
Series/smut/one-shot/smut/sequel/smut - oh and did I mention smut? Anything you do, my dear, kicks some serious ass. There are very few writers I will read when on a fic writing kick myself, but you, darlin', I make the extra time for.
Like Springie with her art - I aspire to be as good/quick witted/energetic/thorough as you - oh and to actually get something finished ... LOL
You lot inspire me, really...

Where would this little swan be if it weren't for smut?
I know what you were saying, sweetheart, and what you were looking for, and I agree. I think TJ writing an actual "series" of Gatch (even though I am a BotP girl) would be fucking SWEET!
Could you imagine it? Week after week of new episodes ...
Swoons and stumbles against Ebony, overcome by the thought
Her universe is so lovely that it would so work! And we KNOW what the continuity fairy would hang around and make her series much more delightful and easier to follow than the actual show. Hell, I'd buy into THAT!! Ooh GREAT IDEA!!
How about ...
A comic?
TJ can write the comic, with Springie illustrating ... Dayum!! Move over Munier and Tortosa, we have a kick ass team right here!!
Taps teeth and paces in contemplation
TJ is talented enough to pull it off, and Springie has a fucking gift in being able to pull an image perfectly from someone's mind and replicate it so honestly ....
Grins evilly
And smut ... yummy smut ... that would work.
But, I love her one-shots so much too.
One shots are fun, they're great, they're awesome.
Sigh.
TJ rocks no matter how she writes.
Really.

Well, actually, Springie and I did do a comic for a short while... the one panel 'Weapons Rejected by the ISO' strip. I wrote 12 of them, but Springie only had the time to draw 5... I think.
As for smut withdrawal... you need to read the third part of my Christmas fic, Ebony.
That's what kept me going through the smutless Invasion fic.
I have to say, the fun with oneshots is that ANYTHING can happen. You can do the same story over and over again... in many different ways. How many times can Princess/Jun decide which man she wants? How many 'firsts' can she have? It's endless, I tell you....
Of course, obviously the big long stories are in me too. How else does a monster like Invasion get written?
But SJ, I definitely appreciate the vote of confidence. And I will post some more smut... eventually...

But then I got accepted to Birdscramble and now I'm trying to come up with a short and sweet piece first. But who knows. Maybe 'untitiled BOTP smut' might still be in the works at that time.

I had heard about Birdscramble in little hints before, but only just got the information from the BOTP list the other day.
Basically, there are 25 members, who each contribute (fics, pics, etc.) to a 'newsletter' four times a year. It's actually done through the mail, which is why there's a limit on members.
I heard there were openings, and I asked Wendy if I could join. And I got lucky.
But now I have an assignment for the February issue, which I have to complete by Christmas, since I'm going to be gone most of January.
