But they discover that they're in far more danger there, as one by one they are picked off by a mysterious opponent. Three chapters and epilogue.
Fifteen Minutes - Loosely based on a hurt/comfort scenario I crafted when I was five. Sean is separated from the others on a solo mission in Los Angeles when an earthquake strikes.

Date: 2009-04-10 07:59 pm (UTC)That McCune Mansion fic still sounds awesome. X3
Ah, and the cult fic has a name. XD **should've seen that coming**
Ah, the Boll Weevil Retrieval fic... X3 **hugs Elliott**
**eyes the desert fic**
And ooh, the building fic... ;__; Will that be expanded from that original Heart of Gold blurb?
no subject
Date: 2009-04-11 01:33 am (UTC)I wanted some lyric from that song, and the title itself seems the best candidate.
**hugs Elliott too.**
I don't know when I'll start writing it. I'll probably want to watch yours and ponder a lot to make sure they are very different. (Though the fact of an avenger is different. XD)
Yeah, very expanded. Though singing Heart of Gold will probably be removed, since I used that in the mermaid fic.
no subject
Date: 2009-04-11 02:08 am (UTC)Well, the "things aren't always what they seem" angle is going to bring about an unexpected twist... If you really want spoilers, I'll give them to you. X3
Ah. ^^

Date: 2009-04-11 05:32 am (UTC)And in general, when I write longer fics, it seems like the plots get resolved in ten or so chapters. However, the chapters are longer, so I guess in the end the length may be close to the same as when they were twenty. LOL.

Date: 2009-04-14 02:30 am (UTC)Oooh! ^O^ That sounds so cool! Yeah, I'd definitely like to see those! ^^
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 02:47 am (UTC)^^ **will scan them when she gets back!** There was also a ton of carved wall art that I wish I had the money to buy. My favorite were profiles of the eagles and ravens in the Native American art style. They were so gorgeous! They were solid black or dark brown, but the eye was some kind of pearly, iridescent round stone. X3 So amazing!
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 02:51 am (UTC)Oooh! X3 They sound gorgeous, especially the eyes!
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 03:29 am (UTC)**nods.** They really were! The eyes definitely stood out. I think, if I do ever go back at some point, I'd like to save my money for one of those. Though it would have to be one of the smaller ones, because of the price. XD;
It's so great to be back there and see that art again, though. X3 And be among the trees and even the cloudiness and rain. XD It's partly like being home again, even though it's been so long, and I didn't really have a whole lot to do with Native American stuff while I lived in Washington. But it's always represented that area for me. X3
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 03:38 am (UTC)XD; Blurgh @ high prices.
X3 The feeling of going home is awesome! It sounds like that part of the trip was definitely great! ^^
no subject
Date: 2009-04-14 03:47 am (UTC)**nods.** It really was, even if it was short. ^^ It was even great walking out of the airport for the first time.... There was a large plaza-type area next to the waiting area for the buses, and they had pine trees and large rocks scattered about. It was really pretty! And to top it off, even though it was cloudy, there was still a bit of sunlight, and you could see a rainbow over the buildings in the distance. X3

Date: 2009-04-14 03:56 am (UTC)Oooh! X3 Such an awesome picture to find!

Date: 2009-04-16 04:11 pm (UTC)I'll probably wait at least until a real insistent plunnie bites. XD **wants to do the cult fic first, and maybe the Washington one ... also if an insistent plunnie bites.**
