[19:31] <ArtimusDIN> hello
<inyx> Hi
[19:32] <ArtimusDIN> i'm new to this chat room
thing
<inyx> I'm an old hand - if you've got any
  questions, I'll try to answer them
[19:33] <ArtimusDIN> thanx
[19:33] <ArtimusDIN> how many people do you
think
   are going to come to the room
<inyx> possibly about 30 or so
[19:34] <ArtimusDIN> that's a lot
[19:34] <ArtimusDIN> ^_^;
<inyx> for this kind of chat it's average - I've
  been on a few that numbered in the thousands -
we
  crashed servers....
[19:35] <ArtimusDIN> ouch........
<inyx> that was for JMS - the creator of B5
[19:36] <ArtimusDIN> that went over my head but
   i'll pretend it didn't.
[19:36] *** ArtimusDIN has quit IRC (ArtimusDIN
has
left the room
)
<inyx> that's okay - the creator of Babylon 5
would
  do chats to talk with the fans - there were so
  many people - we crashed the servers - they
  couldn't handle the load
[19:37] *** ArtimusDIN
(~ArtimusDIN@proxy1.talkcity.
com) has joined #sentinel
[19:38] <ArtimusDIN> ok that was weird.
<inyx> you got dropped and came back on..
<inyx> it happens
[19:39] <ArtimusDIN> i figured that from how
many
   times that's happened on ims
[19:42] <ArtimusDIN> why would i want to do that
   when i don't really like star wars
<inyx> ah - the messages from the server - I
ignore
  them
[19:43] <ArtimusDIN> i would if i wasn't so bored

[19:49] <teddbar06> So, what's up?

[19:49] <teddbar06> Inyx, you wrinting anything.
<inyx> oh yeah -
<inyx> did you see my post earlier this week?
<inyx> I'm doing an alternate to the story you
were
  doing the beta on
[19:50] <teddbar06> I just read that post.  I'm
   still a bit behind.
[19:50] <teddbar06> Do you want a beta?
[19:51] <ArtimusDIN> what post?
[19:51] <ArtimusDIN> i love to read
[19:51] <teddbar06> On Cascade Times, or Senfic.
 I
   was on both
<inyx> sure - I can send you part 4 of the other
  version - and once this is finished (Bad Penny

<inyx> Hey KandaceK!
[19:59] <kandacek> Hi guys!
[19:59] <Stargazer4455> I went through internet
   withdrawal today....and was in a baaad moood
   part of the day....depressed...
[19:59] <ArtimusDIN> i'm sure people appreciate
   that fact dawn
[19:59] <Stargazer4455> so cheer me up guys!
[19:59] <ArtimusDIN> if i could i would
[19:59] <swellison> Hey, Most Wanted is on
tomorrow
   night, that should
[20:00] <swellison> cheer you up at least a
   little;-)
[20:00] <dawncapp> I know how that is - I have
to
   give up my laptop for servicing so I'll be
out
   of commision for about a week. I may even
have
   to miss Kim's chat! (graywulf, if I do, you
   think you could take over?)
[20:00] <Stargazer4455> TS is being preempted in
   Milwaukee for the game tomorrow and last week
   although I did catch part of Real Deal last
   night.
[20:00] <ArtimusDIN> kim, who's kim??
[20:00] <Stargazer4455> hard to sew and watch TS
at
   the same time
[20:00] <dawncapp> Kimberly Heggen is a Sentinel
   Author (fanfic)
[20:00] <swellison> Ack, are they rescheduling
it?
[20:01] <Stargazer4455> commercials were too
short
   last night! <g>
[20:01] <ArtimusDIN> ahhhhh........
[20:01] <Stargazer4455> rescheduled probably to

[20:03] <TVLIT101> Hi, everybody! Thought I
wasn't
   going to make it. It wouldn't let me do it by

[20:05] <ArtimusDIN> why not
[20:05] <TVLIT101> I'm ready (I think).
[20:05] <kandacek> You'll do fine.
[20:05] <teddbar06> I just finished the new AR
   story, where are you planning to take it?
[20:05] <dawncapp> Okay! Most of you know the
   format - it's pretty open, just ask questions
[20:05] <TVLIT101> My dear beta. Thanks!
[20:06] <kandacek> )
[20:06] <ArtimusDIN> )
[20:06] <TVLIT101> I have no idea where the AR
   series is going. I just write what I'm told.
:-)
[20:06] <toshua895> where do your AUs come from?
 
   They are all so different and alive?
[20:06] <teddbar06> I hear that.
<inyx> Any idea when the next GoH story will be
  done?
[20:07] <TVLIT101> Television warped my brain at
an
   early age.
<inyx> and thanks for the use of "The Sentry"....
[20:07] <kandacek> LOL! The corrupton of
television.
[20:07] <ArtimusDIN> i might have an idea to
help
   in the series GoH
[20:07] <ArtimusDIN> but later
[20:08] <TVLIT101> The next GoH is based on
   Inferno, part of Dante's Divine Comedy. So, I
   had to read it, then read reviews to make
sense
   of it, then create my own version of Hell.
So,
   hopefully, August.
[20:08] <ArtimusDIN> cool
<inyx> love it!
[20:08] <dawncapp> I found the whole idea of
Simon
   as a watcher very interesting... Where'd you
get
   that from (I get visions of Highlander in my
   head) LOL!
[20:09] <toshua895> I'm looking forward to it.
[20:09] <ArtimusDIN> gona be great
[20:09] <toshua895> I get these wonderful visual
   when I read your stories.
[20:09] <teddbar06> Are you near completion on
the
   next Family story?
[20:09] <ArtimusDIN> yeah are ya?
[20:10] <TVLIT101> Simon was so integral in the
   stories that he had to be called something. I
   knew using Watcher was going to get me in
   trouble with the HL fans, but that's what
Simon
   does... he watches. I couldn't come up with
   anything else. <g>
[20:10] <teddbar06> Observer?
[20:10] <dawncapp> LOL. Not in trouble! Not at
all!
   Hee Hee
[20:10] <kandacek> I think Watcher is a very
   appropriate term for what he does. :)
[20:10] <ArtimusDIN> amen
[20:11] <swellison> Do you physically outline
your
   longer stories, or just keep the plot in your
   head while writing?
[20:11] <toshua895> I love the idea of
Simon/Blair
   being Jim's 'staff'
[20:11] <TVLIT101> I'm hoping (fingers are
crossed,
   guys) that the next Family story will be up
by
   Friday or Saturday. I just finished Chapter 6.
<inyx> neat!
[20:11] <toshua895> And I loved Deep Cover.
[20:11] <ArtimusDIN> bless you!!
[20:11] <teddbar06> How long does it take you,
on
   average, to do a story, from concept to beta?
[20:11] <ArtimusDIN> that was a good one
[20:11] <TVLIT101> I can't outline. Even back in
   high school days, I would write first, then
do
   the outline. <g>
[20:12] <kandacek> I loved Deep Cover, too. I'm
   trying to get her to work on the sequel. ;)
[20:12] <teddbar06> Me, too.
[20:12] <ArtimusDIN> finally someone else who
does
   that
[20:12] <TVLIT101> The shorter stories can be
   finished in two or three days, the longer
ones
   take up to a month, or longer if I get stuck.
[20:13] <Stargazer4455> I don't outline either I
   just let it flow or let the guys tell me
where
   the story should go...ask Gray (Inyx) <g>
[20:13] <toshua895> i want to see what happens
to
   'what's her name?' from Portland, the woman
who
   almost blows Jim's cover.
[20:13] <ArtimusDIN> kill her
<inyx> where I plot it out...
[20:13] <kandacek> heh heh heh, so do I!
[20:13] <Stargazer4455> <G>
[20:13] <TVLIT101> Okay. I'll work on the sequel
to
   Deep Cover. Don't look for it soon though.

[20:14] <ArtimusDIN> as long as it gets done i'm
   happy
[20:14] <kandacek> Just had to give you a hard
   time. ;-)
[20:14] <teddbar06> How many stories do you work
on
   at a time?
[20:14] <toshua895> I want to be the fly on the
   wall when Whitney chews her out.
[20:14] <TVLIT101> Y'all are kinda bloodthirsty,
   aren't ya? <g>
[20:14] <dawncapp> LOL
[20:14] <ArtimusDIN> always
[20:14] <toshua895> (g)
[20:14] <TVLIT101> We'll talk privately, K!
[20:14] <kandacek> Gotcha.
[20:15] <ArtimusDIN> you should see me with
people
   i don't like
[20:15] <ArtimusDIN> not a pretty pic.
[20:15] <TVLIT101> Usually, I have about four
   stories going at once. Then, eventually, one
of
   them will break out from the pack, and be
   finished.
[20:15] <teddbar06> Does that help with the
   writer's block?
[20:15] <toshua895> when did you start writing
   fanfic?
[20:16] <TVLIT101> Yes. If I get stuck on one,
the
   others cry out to fill the silence.
[20:16] <swellison> Four stories going at once?
Do
   you ever confuse them?
[20:16] <TVLIT101> I think I've been writing
fanfic
   as long as I've been watching television. But
   they were mainly in my head.

as
   surprised by them as you are.
[20:18] <teddbar06> And now they're in

   for the rest of us to enjoy
[20:18] <dawncapp> thank goodness! ;-)
[20:18] <ArtimusDIN> and enjoy we will

[20:18] <kandacek> Can I fourth it?
[20:18] <TVLIT101> Well, up 'til now, if you
didn't
   go to the conventions or whatever, and buy
the
   fanzines, there was nowhere to "market"
fanfic--
   except in your dorm room.
[20:18] <swellison> Fifth (hiccup)
[20:18] <teddbar06> I'm so glad that I'm not the
   only one whose muses bash indiscriminately
and
   take over
[20:19] <dawncapp> That's true  - the internet
has
   been wonderful for fanfiction
[20:19] <kandacek> Or keep it all to yourself,
   which I used to do.
<inyx> TAE - remind me to tell you about the day
  Major Crime took over my cubicle at work...
[20:19] <TVLIT101> And wonderful for fanfic
readers
   too!
[20:19] <dawncapp> oh yeah...
[20:19] <Starfree> DL, I know your X-Files
   crossover is now a 'zine. Is that your first
one?
[20:19] <Stargazer4455> me too..except I had 4
high
   school friends who lived 4 hours away and
we'd
   share our FF
[20:19] <teddbar06> Definitely
[20:19] <ArtimusDIN> tell me too
[20:20] <teddbar06> And, did you get your copies?
[20:20] <TVLIT101> Yes, it's my first 'zine. I
like
   putting my stories on the 'net to you guys
for
   free, but vanity convinced me that I needed
to
   see my name in print at least once. <g>
[20:21] <ArtimusDIN> you deserve it
[20:21] <TVLIT101> Haven't gotten the copies yet.
[20:21] <Starfree> agreed!
[20:21] <toshua> I bought it the instant I saw
   Misty's ad.
[20:21] <kandacek> And I advise all of you to
buy
   one. Circle is absolutely great!
[20:21] <kandacek> Lot's of suspense in that one.
[20:21] <toshua> can't wait to get it.
[20:21] <Starfree> <-- gonna buy it (loved the
'net
   version :))
[20:21] <TVLIT101> Thanks, Toshua! I had visions
of
   them cluttering up Mysti's desk.
[20:21] <teddbar06> I'm afraid I don't quite
trust
   the publisher, I've been waiting six monts
for
   my trib copy and still don't have it.
[20:22] <toshua> I have copies of all your
stories
   in a notebook.  It's been a constant companion
[20:22] <TVLIT101> Oh, dear. But are the paying
   people getting theirs?
[20:22] <kandacek> Glad to hear I'm not the only
   one that keeps them in a notebook. :)
[20:22] <swellison> TAE?  From Mysti?  I always
get
   my tribbers copies quick from her
[20:23] <teddbar06> I've talked with a lot of
local
   folks here who won't do business with her,
but I
   don't know.
[20:23] <toshua> i've never had a problem
[20:23] <TVLIT101> You carry my stuff around?
That
   makes me feel...so much like a real author.
   Thank you!
[20:23] <teddbar06> I've given up on her.  Once
   burned, etc.
[20:23] <teddbar06> I have a couple of binders
of
   your stories.
[20:23] * IroshiW has all of D.L.'s stories
saved
  to disk
[20:23] <toshua> Yeup!  And a friend demands
access
   to that notebook all the time.

[20:24] <IroshiW> I don't have a printer, or I
   would have them all in a notebook, too.
[20:24] <Stargazer4455> I have all of them on
hard
   copy too....I can read them anywhere then and
   not be tied to the puter.
[20:24] <Starfree> Speakign of GoH...what's next
   for them?
[20:24] <teddbar06> Absolutely, and I do reread
   them.
[20:24] <ArtimusDIN> lucky people
[20:25] <ArtimusDIN> i've read them so often i
   could probrally quote from it
[20:25] <TVLIT101> As I said earlier, the guys
are
   going to Hell in the next GoH. Hopefully,
they
   will meet up with a few people they sent
there.
   <g>
[20:25] <IrisWilde> DL, in what direction do you
   expect your AU to head?  What do you foresee
for
   your Jim and Blair?
[20:25] <toshua> heehee
[20:25] <Stargazer4455> LOL I have such bad CRS
I
   could probably reread them over and over and
   they'd STILL be new!
[20:25] <Starfree> cool!!
[20:25] <TVLIT101> In which AU?
[20:25] <IrisWilde> BTW, I absolutely love you
Jims
   and Blairs in any shape or form.
[20:25] <IroshiW> lol
[20:25] <Starfree> good point DL :)

dear....title...um....Blair
   as lawyer/Jim as ex-con
[20:26] <teddbar06> How did you like TS by BS?
Any
   problems dealing with the idea of Blair as a
cop?
[20:26] <toshua> Obviously, S2p1&2 had a huge
   impact, based on your fic.  What did you
think
   of the episode?
[20:26] <ArtimusDIN> no
[20:26] <TVLIT101> Oh, by the way, the next GoH
is
   a crossover with Friday The 13th: The Series.
   Any of you remember that one?
[20:26] <dawncapp> Yes! I do!
[20:26] <ArtimusDIN> no
[20:26] <teddbar06> Yes.
[20:26] <Starfree> I've heard of it...
<inyx> oh yeah - love it
[20:27] <dawncapp> Mickey and Ryan
[20:27] <toshua> I think I saw it once.
[20:27] <IrisWilde> I do!
[20:27] <kandacek> I've never seen any of the
   Friday the 13th stuff, but it should be
   interesting.
[20:27] <ArtimusDIN> never saw it
[20:28] <Stargazer4455> ne either
[20:28] <imbrillig> doyou, or does anyone, have
any
   plans to write Blair's reputation back?
[20:28] <dawncapp> D.L. if you're doing a Friday
   the 13th XO, does it have Ryan in it or that
   "later" guy
[20:28] <dawncapp> or neigther :-)
[20:28] <kandacek> Will Willow make a cameo
again?
   :)
[20:28] <ArtimusDIN> please, willow, i like her
<inyx> that was sooo much fun - Blair talking
  online with Willow....
[20:28] <toshua> Candy just did (Blair's rep)
but
   it's slash.
[20:29] <kandacek> Candy's got a new one up?
Cool.
[20:29] <TVLIT101> Definitely Ryan. Couldn't
stand
   Johnny. The premise of the story is that Jack
   and Micki ask Jim to go to Hell and retrieve
   Ryan.
[20:29] <ArtimusDIN> do a xo with her and buffy
   that would be cool
[20:29] <Starfree> <--- read Candy's story,
loved it
[20:29] <dawncapp> Yes! I hated Johnny (okay got

[20:30] <TVLIT101> I would love to do an xo with
   Buffy, but I can't get Buffyspeak into my
head,
   so I couldn't be true to the series.
[20:30] <toshua> ever think of doing another xo
   with Early Edition?
[20:30] <ArtimusDIN> ok
[20:30] <kandacek> Or Homicide?
<inyx> now that one was a hoot
[20:30] <ArtimusDIN> just an idea
[20:30] <TVLIT101> Maybe this season. But I
missed
   Chuck last season, and I couldn't stand the
   girlfriend and her son.
<inyx> why not write one where Chuck comes back -
 
  like the episode where he did....
[20:31] <TVLIT101> I agree that Homicide needs a
   closing one. But the actual series ended so
   ambiguously.
[20:31] <toshua> I've only seen a few eps, just
   loved your story.
<inyx> he doesn't have to stay around, but he
could
  be there for the story
[20:31] <teddbar06> I hated that ep.
[20:32] <TVLIT101> I'll think about another EE
   cross, but don't hold your breath.
<inyx> TAE - which ep - EE or Homecide?
[20:32] <teddbar06> EE
[20:32] <kandacek> Someone asked what you
thought
   of TSbyBS? I know, but they don't. :)
[20:33] <dawncapp> TSbyBS - ah, the controversy
   continues *grin*
[20:34] <TVLIT101> I loved TSbyBS. I just didn't
   get all the angst the fans had over Blair
   becoming a cop. Being kicked out of school
   doesn't stop you from learning.
[20:34] <teddbar06> YES!!!
<inyx> I'll second that....
[20:34] <ArtimusDIN> amen
[20:34] <dawncapp> Ah but reputation is
something
   easily destroyed but difficult to rebuild
[20:34] <imbrillig> HE LOST HIS REPUTATION.
WHERE I
   COME FROM THAT MEANS SOMETHING!
[20:34] <TVLIT101> K, once again, we'll talk
later.
[20:34] <Stargazer4455> He could teach at the
   academy and still have a teaching job...
[20:35] <dawncapp> LOL. (K, I think you're in
   trouble. Hee Hee)
[20:35] <imbrillig> eXCUSE ME, HE'S A FRAUD. hOW
   DOES HE GET TO BE A COP? hOW DOES HE PASS THE
   SECURITY CHECK?
[20:35] <Starfree> I agree with you Dawn :)
[20:35] <kandacek> Hmm, you think so?
[20:35] <teddbar06> Legally, he isn't a fraud.
[20:36] <teddbar06> He never actually submitted
   that diss.

[20:36] <dawncapp> legally, he is a fraud, they
   just didn't take him to court
[20:36] <IroshiW> Imbrillig, I've talked to a
   friend who works with the police, and she
said
   that here in Dallas, Blair would likely not
even
   need to go through the Academy. Just pass a
few
   tests, including the firearms one, and he'd
be
   in, because he's already *done* four years in
   the field.
[20:36] <dawncapp> Ah, but he apparently
confessed
   to "submitting it" in the press conference
[20:36] <TVLIT101> Reputations come and go. In a
   year, no one will even remember the grad
student
   and his "lies". If the cops turned down
everyone
   who lied, there wouldn't be a police force in
   the country.
[20:37] <ArtimusDIN> scary
[20:37] <teddbar06> LLAL!
[20:37] <dawncapp> Ouch, DL!
[20:37] <toshua> Remember Nixon?
[20:37] <ArtimusDIN> unfortunately
[20:37] <Starfree> vaguely :)
[20:37] <IroshiW> He didn't do anything
*illegal*
   and that's all the cops can care about.
Because
   he didn't actually submit it, therefore no
crime
   was committed.
[20:37] <teddbar06> Hey, I liked Nixon.  Give me
a
   boss who tries to cover for his crew any day.
[20:37] <IroshiW> Loss of reputation alone can't
   keep you from the police force.
[20:37] <kandacek> I don't remember him
admitting
   to submitting it, but let's get back on track.
[20:37] <imbrillig> I'm a little concerned that
   this seems to matter so little. Does it carry
   over to the way we see things in RL?
[20:38] <TVLIT101> What track is that, K?

   type of thing.
[21:02] <bjkira> Bonnie!  Baby!  How's it going?
[21:02] <stargazer4455> Hey girl! How's Iowa!
It's
   hot here! <g>
[21:03] *** IrisWilde has quit IRC (IrisWilde
has
left the room
)
[21:03] <bjkira> It's so hot out right now...
not
   a wisp of wind to be found.
[21:03] <TVLIT101> Imbrillig stated that if
people
   knew about Jim, Blair sacrificed his rep for
   nothing.
[21:03] <imbrillig> SO what Blair did was a
   temporary get the press off Jim during a
current
   case. Now figure out how to get Blair's rep
back
   AND protect Jim.
[21:04] <TVLIT101> Blair can get his own rep
back
   by being the cop he has been for the past
three
   years.
[21:04] <teddbar06> Exactly.
[21:04] *** BeckyB_27

[21:04] <swellison> Isn't that what Simon did by
   sendiing Blair to the Academy,
<inyx> formality mainly
[21:05] <ArtimusDIN> yeah
[21:05] <imbrillig> No, he cannot. There will
   always remain a question as to what else is
   important enough to him that he would lie to
get
   it.
[21:05] <swellison> lets things cool dwon while
   Blair gets his credentials, then blair
returns
   as Jim's partner
[21:05] <imbrillig> Besides which, I thought it
was
   just commented on that Blair had still not
won
   acceptance from any but the majorcrime team.
[21:05] <toshua> I would worry about the first
   hungry lawyer who gets him on a witness stand.
[21:06] <kandacek> The people who count know
   Blair's rep is fine, and pressure put in the
   right places will see things fine
[21:06] <TVLIT101> That question can apply to
   everyone. Everyone will lie for something.
[21:06] <imbrillig> I would worry about the
first
   DA who has to put him on the stand.
[21:06] <swellison> wouldnt' they have to have
   relevancy to the case?
[21:06] <ArtimusDIN> most people will have
   forgotten by then
[21:07] *** Misty54789461 has quit IRC
(Misty5478946

[21:07] <swellison> I mean, w/Mark Furman, they
   didn't say have you ever lied about anything,
[21:07] <kandacek> We're overlooking the fact
the
   university could care less. They should have
   stoped the press fiasco from the get go.
[21:07] *** IroshiW has quit IRC (IroshiW has
left
the room

[21:07] <imbrillig> What are the right places
fpr
   pressure to be put and what constitutes fine?
   Most people are not lawyers preparing a
defense.
[21:07] *** sbjb (~sbjb@proxy2.talkcity.com) has
joined #sentinel
[21:07] <toshua> But if a 'character' question
   comes up?  A lawyer would imply a lot in body
   language
[21:08] <teddbar06> It could probably only be
   brought up by the defense as a means of
casting
   doubt on his honesty as a witness.
[21:08] <TVLIT101> It would be nice to talk
about a
   story or two.
[21:08] <swellison> it was, have you ever said
xxx?
   and then when he said no, they brought their
   other witness forward
[21:08] <ArtimusDIN> what was your fav. story to
   write
[21:08] <teddbar06> OK.  So, when will the next
AR
   story be out?
[21:08] <swellison> Okay, Obsessed.  Where did
you
   get the idea for this one?  Esp the back and
   forth two timelines going at once?
[21:09] <toshua> Since S2p1&2 started 'Traces"
,,
   what did you think of the eps?
[21:09] <TVLIT101> Bayou. It was the first time
I'd
   ever delved into something so dark, yet so
human.
[21:09] <ArtimusDIN> kool
[21:09] <dawncapp> I read Bayou in record time -
it
   was an intense story
[21:09] <ArtimusDIN> that one was very good
<inyx> very well done

[21:10] <ArtimusDIN> that one introduced me to

[21:10] <TVLIT101> AR? Have no idea. Don't even
   have a title or idea yet. Obsessed? That was
   back in the virgin years too. Don't know
where
   it came from.
[21:10] <stargazer4455> loved the little girl

[21:10] <Ceci> Hi :) [whispers: Am I interrupting
   something?]
[21:10] <teddbar06> I want to see Blair take down
   William and Stephen.
[21:10] <dawncapp> Hi Ceci!
[21:10] <ArtimusDIN> hallaluah
[21:11] <TVLIT101> S2 pt 1 was intense, part 2 was
   a bit so-so I think because of the wait.
[21:11] <BlKGlDraGon> I'd like to see who else
   Garrity recruits
[21:11] <stargazer4455> ooo good one tae write it!
[21:11] * Ceci had no idea when the chat would
  be... Sorry she's late
[21:11] <ArtimusDIN> please!!!!
[21:11] <teddbar06> Not me.  That's D.L.'s story.
[21:11] <teddbar06> I'm just hinting.
[21:12] <stargazer4455> :) but you can write your
   own version too
[21:12] <teddbar06> HINT.  HINT.
[21:12] <ArtimusDIN> then, pease!!! d.l. i'm begging
[21:12] <teddbar06> Nope.  Not in her AU.  I don't
   poach.
[21:12] <TVLIT101> Hey, I'm open to people

[21:15] <ArtimusDIN> from buffy the vampire slayer
[21:15] <Starfree> what's in the Equalizer

[21:16] <teddbar06> Sorry.  Should have gone

[21:18] <TVLIT101> Bye, Imbrillig. Good dialogue.
[21:18] <BSgal> Hi Dawn! I've been waiting for your
   upcoming stories 'Framed' and 'Inversion'. I
   love the 'Family'   series which I orginally had
   misconceptions about because you really threw me
   off with the first part of the first story! And
   I dearly love the traces series and you AU too!

[21:19] <TVLIT101> Well, they were begging for

   Framed is one of those that will probably write

[21:19] <teddbar06> So, start, just as soon as

[21:20] <kandacek> Okay, here's my plug for Framed.
   :) Write it. :)
[21:20] <teddbar06> ;]
[21:20] <BSgal> Great! I'm be watching for them!
[21:20] <TVLIT101> I thought you wanted the Family
   one finished?
[21:20] <BlKGlDraGon> Framed sounds as if it would
   fit with Inversion and Deep Cover
<inyx> which one will be hopefully out by the end
  of this week?
[21:20] <kandacek> Yes, yes, but you know me. :)
[21:20] <teddbar06> Any, all.  More, more, I'm
   still not satisfied.
[21:20] <TVLIT101> The Family One- "Pains Of Power"
<inyx> I'll thank you for the BD present in advance
  then....
[21:21] <TVLIT101> I hadn't thought about it, but
   you're right. Framed does fit in with the other
   two. Thanks.
[21:22] <BlKGlDraGon> welcome.<g>
[21:22] <kandacek> Wish I'd thought to tell you
   that. :)
[21:22] <teddbar06> I'm waiting, without bated

   with writing.
[21:22] <BSgal> Hey Dawn...as long as you keep
   writing and posting I'll be happy with which
   ever story you do next!
[21:23] <TVLIT101> Thanks. Someone asked me if I
   was going to stop because the series has been
   cancelled. In a word, no!
[21:23] <Starfree> Good, don't want you to stop!
<inyx> we gotta get our fix somewhere...
[21:23] <BSgal> Yea!
[21:23] <teddbar06> HUZZAH!!!
[21:23] <BlKGlDraGon> Thank you!

[21:24] <TVLIT101> Hey, now I'm a supplier to
   addicts. Guess i can't join the police force,
   huh? <g>
[21:24] <sapphiredove> <G>
[21:24] <teddbar06> Yeah.  After all, fanfic *is*
   shadily illegal, isn't it?
[21:24] <BSgal> We'll get you a ride along like
   Blair!<G>
[21:25] <sapphiredove> Hmm, I've never thought of
   myself as an addict, but you're right
[21:25] <TVLIT101> Uhm, no thanks! When I bleed,
   Jim won't be there to pamper me.
[21:25] *** sapphiredove has quit IRC (sapphiredove

[21:25] <dawncapp> Me either, Stargazer! I'm

[21:26] <Starfree> same here
[21:26] <TVLIT101> I have a stack of paperbacks I
   haven't touched. I know Waldenbooks is worried
   about me.
[21:26] <teddbar06> It's much cheaper than books,
   although I'm running out of room on the shelf.
[21:26] * Ceci 's truly addicted... Even got her
  mom to watch an eppie ;)
[21:26] <BlKGlDraGon> Reading addict here... I do
   both...
[21:26] * dawncapp be right back, folks!
[21:26] <teddbar06> I love to read, but don't have
   time to get more than the fanfic, if I want to
   have any kind of real life.
[21:26] *** sapphiredove has quit IRC (sapphiredove
has left the room)
[21:27] <teddbar06> Or write.
[21:27] <BSgal> I was showing my niece my Blair
   wallpaper on my computer today and trying to
   convert her.
[21:27] <TVLIT101> What you want with a real life
   anyway...oh, you mean it will get in the way of
   your writing? Why didn't you say so in the first
   place?
[21:27] <teddbar06> I  get some of the funniest 'is
   that your husband' comments on my JE wallpaper
   at work.
[21:27] <Ceci> BSgal - Did it work? ;)
[21:27] <Starfree> LOL!
[21:27] <swellison> But I've found that an
   all-fanfic reading diet isn't good for your
   writing
[21:27] <teddbar06> Well, I also have horses that I
   like to spend time with.
[21:28] <swellison> stylewise, you need to read
   some professionally produced stuff
[21:28] <stargazer4455> I ihave my daughter hooked
   on reading and she's almost 11
[21:28] <BSgal> She's going to watch tomorrow
   night! Yea!
[21:28] <TVLIT101> Fanfic sorta helps me write. If
   I find a real good long one....
[21:29] <teddbar06> Real life helps me.  I've found
   a new source for PD warstories, so I may soon
   have lots more.
[21:29] *** IndigoCat (~IndigoCat@proxy3.talkcity.co

[21:29] <BSgal> I read so much TS fan fic that I'd
   be afraid to even try writing something for fear
   I would accidentally come too close to something
   I've read.
[21:30] <Ceci> BSgal - Been there, done that ;)
[21:30] <stargazer4455> You'd be surprised with
   what you can come up with BSgal
[21:30] <Starfree> I wouldn't even attempt to
   write...not good at it :)
[21:30] <teddbar06> If each of us wrote the same
   story, each story would be very different.
[21:30] <stargazer4455> yeah - look at all the
   different challenges and how each story turned
   out different!
[21:31] <teddbar06> I love to hand out 'dares' when
   a group of us get together.  I know.  I'm still
   owing a 'Simon Says' story.
[21:31] <TVLIT101> So what's our dare for tonight?
[21:31] <teddbar06> Hmmmm.  Give me a second or
   twelve.
[21:32] <BSgal> I'm trying to rediscover another
   creative outlet I use to do. I like drawing and
   I've just dug out my pencils and paper once
   again to see what I can do with the TS two.
[21:32] <teddbar06> Blair getting his hair cut for
   the acacemy?  Just a short snippet.
[21:32] <TVLIT101> Oh, goody! I like the artwork
   I've seen.
[21:32] <kandacek> I used to draw and paint, but I
   haven't done it in so many years, I'm very
   rusty. <sigh>
[21:32] <teddbar06> I love artwork.
[21:33] <TVLIT101> Of course, I can't draw a lick.
[21:33] <teddbar06> Hey, DL asked for a dare.
[21:33] <BSgal> I got really excited by some of the
   great artwork I seen at MediaWest Con.
[21:33] <teddbar06> So, how many takers?
[21:34] <stargazer4455> you go first TAE....
[21:34] <TVLIT101> I'll take it. When would you
