Great...I hope it is worth all the hype you spout at us about it.

Sigh, vacation's almost over. I think my fanfic is flappn in the breeze. I haven't written in a long time. Well maybe I'll do it in spurts and see what happens.

Well, just wanted to say that in addition to the interactive story, I'm working on an individual one as well. There is a teaser to it in the Title images thread. It's on page 6 I believe, and near the top. I'll post the link to it when I upload it, but that won't be until I finish the story, and I'm about a third to halfway there, I think, and am not too sure about the title.

I've just finished not one, but two individual stories that I'm going to put on the fanfiction site later on tonight when I get home. (Meaning they'll probably be up Tuesday morning, one for sure though.) The first story is the one I talked about in the last post. Called "The dizzy helping hand," it's based on another strange event with the suit. After a simple good deed to help others, Ralph has to deal with the suit dealing with an alien situation of its own. Not only that, terrorists have a plan to wreak havoc on Los Angeles. After finishing this first story, another one popped into my head. In this case, it's a missing scene from "Train of Thought." The scene, well scenes I think now upon rereading, occur between the time Bill finds Ralph lying unconscious near the railroad bridge until Pam arrives at Memorial Hosptial. There was quite a bit of time between the two events not shown, so I thought I'd try to fill in the gaps. Both stories should be up completely by tomorrow afternoon, once I take one more look over the stories for spelling and other minor errors. Hope you enjoy reading both. (ETA - I'll also post the links to both stories Tuesday once they're in.)

As promised, here are the links to the two stories: "The dizzy helping hand": www.fanfiction.net/s/2746279/1/"Train of Thought" revisited: www.fanfiction.net/s/2746008/1/Both are already up on the Fanfiction Web site and are complete. I don't have any more individuals planned in the near future, as I want to work more on the interactive game thread now. Enjoy.

Well, since you don't accept anonymous reviews, I won't give you one on that stupid fanfiction site. I guess I won't comment on your deleted scene one.

Sorry, didn't know that was disabled (didn't check is why). I'll fix that real quick, HD. I'm just lucky my home computer was conscious enough to let me post the stories at home. (It drove me batty last night). (ETA - Just fixed it. Thanks for giving me the note, and if you'd like, please still comment. It'd be greatly appreciated. )

I don't know if my Muse wants to comment now....hmph. Hmmm. ... Very funny HD. Still, you've been helpful as a beta reader. You've caught some logistic problems and nuances that I didn't (and probably wouldn't) get, and I've read the story a lot. This also holds very true to the others who've helped beta my stories, Lauren and billswoman, and I greatly appreciate the help/advice from all three of you.

Since I'm waiting for the next two moves in the interactive game thread (hint ), I decided to write another "missing scenes" story, this time to "The 200-Mile Per Hour Fastball." I've got to check the dialogue again, but it'll be put up later tonight. Now, as far as any in the works, I have a couple of plot bunnies in mind. I think I'll expand on the two recent commercials I wrote in the Title images thread. One is based on what-if the suit could morph, what would happen. There are some interesting twists I've got in mind for it. The other is based on a what-if, in this case what-if Ralph was seriously injured not wearing the jammies and the suit went to Pam in the interim. I've read the "Ghostbusters" one, but this one will stay in the realm of "GAH" (as in no crossovers). And, Ralph still plays a big part in all of it. There is a third, but definitely AU, story in the works. It still has a few quirks I have to work out, but it's going to be pretty long and involved as well. When I have the link to the missing scenes story, I'll put it up, but more than likely, it'll be tomorrow.

As promised, here's the link to "The 200-MPH Fastball" revisited missing scene: www.fanfiction.net/s/2767847/1/I've accepted a challenge from someone to write one to every episode. The one exception will be to "GAHeroine" because there's too much cut out of it as is. My luck, I'd end up inadvertently plagiarizing, so better to not write one for it.

Well, I read it, but I guess I don't see how Bill could have done all that...especially taking the guys to jail and getting back at the same time Ralph did to nab Shorty. Plus, Ralph at that point in the series usually screamed into the communicator rather than spoke. I know...holes poked everywhere.

Plus, Ralph at that point in the series usually screamed into the communicator rather than spoke. I know...holes poked everywhere. Bill drives fast, everyone in the cast mentioned that. And the police picked up the other two, so he could head out. Also, if you watch the scene, Bill gets Shorty in the parking lot, so he could've just gotten there when Shorty tried to escape. There was so many continuity errors in regards to the game. Miss Dante is cholorformed during the third inning, but by the time Ralph and Bill rescue her, it's the bottom of the ninth. So, I guess Ralph must've gotten lost to begin with finding Stadium Road. As far as Ralph screaming into the communicator, I've always felt that if he had someone's life literally in his hands, he'd stay more focused and calm. Just my two cents.

More focused while carrying someone? He couldn't even take off properly the first time.

I'm always amazed that Ralph can take off to a crime scene, stop and ask for directions from a shocked gas station attendant, find the correct stop, and just after he enters, Bill drives up.
I seem to recall that from both "Reseda" and "W&W" but I'm sure there are plenty of other instances...

I seem to recall that from both "Reseda" and "W&W" but I'm sure there are plenty of other instances... My point exactly, and why this second one was a lot of fun to write. He had to fly real fast to get back to the game, but I also figured that when Miller was HIP, the Mets would've put in a relief pitcher, and Ralph'd had more time to get back. If they didn't, he wouldn't have made it to the field in time.
