Journey's Debt has begun.

Tales of the Ringbearers - Journey's Debt

This story is part of the Tales of the Ringbearers series. The three stories Last Man, Diplomacy and Artifact were the forebears of this tale but it owes debt to the works of Brother Grimace and Doggieboy. If it's bad, that's all me.

Bunch of writers are writing up tales, why haven't you?

Mentioned before that there are a couple of new writers hanging around PPMB, I hope someone remembers to feed them so they stick around.

I'm hoping to write out the last part to Two Aunts tomorrow and maybe even another part to Sometimes it Rains.

PS the font used under the picture is Ringbearer. Do a google seach for it.

Who's Jack anyway?

As in didn't get jack done this week.

I just posted an update to Two Aunts and Sometimes it Rains.

Two Aunts has one more part to go and hopefully I'll get to the action for Jane's new sister in the next part. (Not that kind :) )

 

I'll be posting the first part to Tales of the Ringbearers Journey's Debt this weekend as well.

 

TAG's asking for feedback about the web version of Jormungandr.

 

Couple of new stories over at PPMB so go check them out.

 

That's it for tonight.

Tales of the Ringbearers.

Spent the weekend writing a couple of stories in this world (multiverse). There will be a third one posted sometime this week. Consider these introductions for a larger story I'll be doing next. Reading the first three is going to be need to follow where the next picks up.

Tales of the Ringbearers Journey's Debt. I'm hoping this will go about ten parts or so. The first part is written and now I have to go clean it up a bunch while I start the second part. 

I wanted to go somewhere besides a zombiefic. As much as I love zombies, they aren't going to be the "bad guys" in this one.

Two Aunts is got two more parts, I think. And Sometimes it Rains is about to have some excitement.

 

Seriously though, I'd love to see a few more people hop in with some Ringbearers stories. I'm drooling over what TAG or NightGoblyn might come up with if they did stories.

 

Bigger news: The Other Side of TIme: A Father's Legacy has just been posted by Sidhe. CLICK HERE!!

Well time to go to work. Have fun.

Characters.

 

Got two stories running now. Two Aunts and Some Times it Rains.

Rayne Lane is going to find out the good times are over for a little while.

Becky Morgendorffer has decided to work for her money while staying with her big brother.

 

I guess I'm in a new character kind of mood. Not the first time, lets see.

Cleo Patrica Morgendorffer- Daughter of Quinn and Trent

Danielle Todds

William Dorn

Michael Morgendorffer- Son of Helen and Jake.

Samual - Son of Jake by another woman.

And of course Veronica Helen Morgendorffer- daughter of Jake by another woman. Also used a Veronica as Amy's daughter.

Shannon Morgendorffer- daughter of Jane.

Michael Rayne Morgendorffer- Son of Daria and Lurman.

Susan Williams

 

I might have to do a story that doesn't involve creating a new character.

Jewelry and Other things.

I got this new ring, had to trade some chocolate for it but it's worth it.

Do you think Daria would release a plague that caused everyone to lose their voices then discover she misses hearing them talk?

How about returning from a trip to Africa with samples of a deadly disease?

 

Sometimes It Rains will be getting an update tomorrow. 

I think I saw the sun today.

But I'm not sure, it's just been so long.

 

Any way I wrapped up Starbright. It was fun to play in that world a bit but truthfully I can do without trying to write pop songs. For a good laugh go over to PPMB and check out my sad, sad attempts.

 

Anyway I started Sometimes It Rains today. This is the Jane gets a sister story I've wanted to do for awhile.

TAG has started a new story and I'm intrigued.

 

Another story I'm starting is going to be Two Aunts. Amy and Jake's younger sister end up staying with the Morgendorffers that last summer before Daria goes away to school.

 

Counting down to the one year anniversary posting on the PPMB. Sept 9. (The day I joined.) Just a few days after reading one of the John Lane stories out on fanfiction.net.

 

Something to think about,  was Amanda really gone as much as Vincent. She makes far more appearances in the show. (Though once only as a pair of feet.) Even being around to star or be drawn (I never did figure out if that was supposed to be animated or "real life") in the MultiMedia project Jane and Daria did. I'm starting to think she was around but not available for Trent and Jane. Maybe hanging out with her hippie buddies. Not that she was at the house, but out somewhere nearby making art or whatever. Lets be blunt, a pack of wolves could have done a better job raising a family. 

Hurricane!

Maybe I should start breaking into song at random moments as the storm goes over us. That would be a real Daria tribute.

 

Just found out that one of my stories Esteem Roller counts as a novel, cool. Thanks for the info TAG.

I love the Dariawiki.

Just wrapped up a New Life and started Starbright.

I don't know what demon has processed me to do a Jem and Holograms crossover with Daria I don't know. If anyone does please forward name and best banishing spell.  The story isn't hard but the songs are tough.

 

Well maybe Fay will wipe me off the face of the Earth, if not I should have an update sometime this week.

 

Here's a question to ponder, assuming the Tom was physically attracted  to Daria. (He was willing to kiss, make out and even have sex with her.) Why did he make the play for Jane first instead of Daria.  Did he flip a coin or what?

Finally managed to Post something!

Again I blame summer vacation but I did manage to post an update to a new life today.

Things are finally settling down now that summer vacation is almost over. Hopefully I'll be able to spend a bit more time writing anything.

 

Well enjoy the end of the weekend!

Summer is truly here.

Has it really been a year already?

 

Still trying to get some time to do some writing but it getting to be a struggle. I have to admit it's much easier when the kids are in school.

One of the prices of being a single parent, I guess.

 

Still fighting off a couple of story ideas but I think my next one is going to be a short one dealing with Jane getting a new sister and how she deals with trying to explain her parents to her new younger sister. (Kind of a twist on the Veronica style story.)

After that I'm still undecided. Mostly it depends if on avail time.

I am thinking about doing a story based off Irish Myths. I would love to write Daria getting in an argument with Nuada. And Quinn having Lugh get her a drink would be priceless. "But he said he was The Many Skilled."

Have fun and try to not melt.

Just checking in.

Just wanted to say happy 4th of July to all of us in the USA and I can't remember what it's called but doesn't Argentina or Brazil celebrate their independence day next week. So happy whatever it's called.

 

I'm slowly getting back into my stories so hopefully I can get something posted this weekend.

 

Have fun and try not to blow off any important parts.

 

 

 

Yes I'm talking about you .... I still remember last year.

Hello and something like that.

Another week gone by and a little bit of writing done. Started another story. New Life also I'm working on I Have Another Sister?, it's a Veronica style story but with Jane as the big sister.

 

Someone asked me an interesting question the other day. What kind of writer do I consider myself?

I had to think about that for a while. I couldn't come up with an answer and I think I know why. I DON'T think of myself as a writer. Sure I do some writing and honestly I love it but I'm not a writer. I could say something about not being that good or something else but I think it comes down to self image.  I just don't see myself as a writer, kind of like the smoker that can't quit until they see themselves as a nonsmoker. I just like to do it and that's enough for me.

Just something I wanted to share.

 

Oh and RLobinske started a new John Lane, 35: Give Me a C!

Ranger Thorne started Long Trek Home

and the almighty TAG is still working on Death Takes a Holliday.

Avalon is Done.

 

I wrapped up Infected yesterday and Avalon today.

Doggieboy has finally released the long waited Epilogue 3 to A Little Vacation.

 

TAG has posted Part 3 to Death Takes a Holliday.

 

Now you go write something.

 

 

And post it!

Weekend update.

I posted a couple of updates over on the PPMB. Avalon is up to 23 and Infected is up to 4.  I've also posted a bit of backstory on Danielle Todds of the An Overlooked Flaw verse on my various story sites. HERE

 

I am declaring it the season of Zombie Daria fics. There is currently three active stories on the message board.

'A Little Vacation' by Doggieboy

'D: The Last Cynic' by CDM

'Infected' by me

 

Undead shipping is the new cool.

 

I have to mention again that TAG has a new story running.

 

CLICK HERE TO READ IT

STOP THE PRESSES

TAG has released a new story. (Death Takes a Holliday) Ranger Thorne has updated Big Jake's Harley-Davidson.

 

Everyone stay calm, it's only two signs of the end. I'm sure that nothing else will happen.

 

Stop hoarding.

 

 

Stop looting.

 

Ok you two in the back of the convertible, that's ok.

Another week down.

I just posted another update to Avalon on PPMB and tossed up Continue on my site. I wasn't really happy with it so I ended it after just a couple of parts. Rita is the devil in it. And I played around with the idea of Jake having a little sister.

 

I also posted a few scenes from Starting Over that I had written when I was playing with the story. (Before I killed it.)

 

TAG has apparently joined the collection of people not taking very good care of themselves. Someone call his mother/wife/girlfriend/creditor, anyone who has a vested interest in keeping him alive and tell on him.

Another weekend that isn't long enough.

I just updated Avalon on PPMB to Part 19.

RLobinske has started Falling into College 62: Run it Up the Mast and Dennis has had a couple of updates for Turnabout Confusion Part II.

 

In really big news. Doggieboy put up his first epilog for A Little Vacation.

 

All in all it's been a slow week but not to slow. I would like to offer up something to the Irredeemable Daria characters. Tom, mostly considered harmless except for the whole his entire reason to exist was they wanted Daria to have a boyfriend.

How about the fact he went after one girl before ending it with her friend. If Tom had broken up with Jane before he started making moves on Daria that would be different. But no, he went after his girlfriend's best friend while they were still dating. Here's a question for someone to ponder. If Daria had shot him down would he have broken up with Jane or tried to continue the relationship.

To me that's why Tom is irredeemable and why he has yet to play any real role in my stories. I tend to be very biased against cheaters.

Have a great weekend.

Sad goodbye.

I posted part 18 to Avalon on the PPMB. Where else duh.

 

For the title of this blog I offer The Oher Side Of Time: And All That We've Won by The Sidhe. He/she wrapped it up. This tale in both it's parts is incredible to say the least. If you haven't read it then you need to.

 

Doggieboy's A Little Vacation is closing on it's end with just three epilogs left. I just can't stand the thought of this one ending. sniff sniff. It's such a happy little tale of love and zombies and friendship and zombies.

 

I am freaking out about only having one story active right now. It's messing with my head.

Weekend.

Not much happening at the moment. I thought I would update my current projects list.

1. Mobius Strip.	Daria discovers she has more friends than anyone ever has before while Quinn’s new math obsession really takes her places.
2. Daria Arrives.	Daria shows up in Lawndale a year after her family moves there.
3. Of Metal and Men II	Continuing the story line of machines taking over the earth.
4. She died.	Someone close to Quinn dies and she doesn’t have anyone to talk to about it.
5. I have a sister?	Jane has bad news and she isn’t that upset about it.
6. But Why?	Quinn wants to know why Daria put away her camera.
The Girl and the Cynic.	Quinn passes away and Daria is left to raise her daughter.
8. I knew it!	Daria finds out Helen was married briefly to another man and becomes convinced he is her real father.
9. Continue.	Daria has to deal with a greedy Rita.
10. Danielle.	Just a bit of back story on Danielle Todds.

 

Also I will be updating EarthFall this weekend and ending the story. I might come back to it at another time but I'm not carrying the story very well in a regular series. I might throw out a few EarthFall oneshots a little later in the year.

That's all folks.

TGIF

Ok I've wrapped up My Sons and posted another part to Avalon (Part 16)

 

In real news NightGoblyn wrapped up The Misery Chicks and you have to go read it. This story along with A Little Vacation  by Doggieboy are going to rule the Booties next year, everybody else go home, it's done.

 

Gouka Ryuu has dealt out a Legion of Lawndale Heroes Minis and LSauchelli has offered up a Lawndale's Finest oneshot. Both are great and maybe it might keep us all from going twitchy on the writers of those worlds while we're waiting for them to update.

Dennis has released another update for Turnabout Confusion.

 

Is anyone else getting sick of reality inferring with people updating their fics. I mean, c'mon, shouldn't the government offer some form of restitution for all the Daria fans these people are keeping off the streets. But no they would rather give money to velvet pictures of Elvis, he's not even dead yet. So write your congressman or equivalent and demand support for the Daria arts.

 

It's not any sillier than them spending millions to build a road that doesn't go anywhere.

Sunday boring Sunday.

Just updated My Sons and Avalon over at PPMB.

 

DOGGIEBOY UPDATED A LITTLE VACATION with Part 18, you are a bad, bad person if you haven't read this story at least three times. Ok maybe you aren't a bad person but you aren't real bright.

RLobinske update his current John Lane story, 34 Part 3.

 

Side note, Brother Grimace hinted that there may be a Angst filled RLobinske story out there. That's a must read!

Solaris is putting out a lot of reviews to stories so that's worth a look.

Hopefully everyone will enjoy this last day off before returning to the salt mines tomorrow.
