The Red Curtains Trilogy

The Red Curtains Trilogy is a series of stories in three arcs ("In The Beginning", "The Long Game" and "End Game", though the names are not final at the moment), that tell the life story of Albus Dumbledore, through his eyes, the eyes of a character named Selenes and through the eyes of Tom Riddle.

However, it is also a cross-over with the world of Twin Peaks. (Though obviously only the spiritual part of that world, since for most of Dumbledore's life, almost all the characters in Twin Peaks hadn't been born).

The stories don't cover all of Albus' life, but instead moves to the important parts (his early home life, until he finishes Hogwarts, then Tom Riddle's time at school and the first of the dark wars until the first fall of Voldemort, then the second dark war from Harry's return to the world until the end of the war.

Unusually, these stories won't focus on Harry or the other main characters - instead it will be Dumbledore, Selenes (who is Selenes? Well - you'll figure it out eventually) and Tom.

Currently the second arc is being plotted out, and I have more or less reached the point where Dumbledore and Grindlewald are fighting.

So - this is a huge, long term story that will not be done any time soon, but should be fun.

Catch Up Time!

What's been going on? I'm glad you asked.

The Princess Husband is complete, pending proof reading. It ran out to 108 pages, and was finished in 14 days. I am pretty proud of the way it has turned out, but it will be a while before it is posted because I have to figure out a formatting standard, then convert it. (Celtx doesn't save to HTML, only to PDF).

The Wish is a new short story, all about Harry making a wish not to be a wizard, and the results that come from that wish. It was finished tonight, and posted to HP Fandom. It will come to ForeverFandom in the next day or so, and ArchiveOfOurOwn when it speeds up a little.

Silver Linings is on hiatus, because of ScriptFrenzy and The Wish, but has been fully plotted out.

The Western Sky, Series 3 is also on hiatus, because of all the other things I am writing. It will no doubt get started again soon enough. Possibly after ScriptFrenzy ends and Princess' Husband is posted.

Twilight Over Ingleside - Episode 2 is done, but the formatting is all over the place (Celtx again), and until I can sort it out, it can't be posted.

So - that's it. Y'all are up to date.

100 Posts!

Wow. Already reached 100 posts. Who knew? (Well - me obviously).

Normally I would write a huge summary entry, but it is way past my bed time.

Instead I will say I am up to page 8 of my 100 for Script Frenzy (which, for an hour, isn't bad) and I have only just reached the part where Lesley and Harry say goodbye. so I might end up going a tad over 100 pages.

Meanwhile this might be the last post until Tuesday, because my sweetie arrives in less than 12 hours, and I am going to take a break from everything except her. Cause that's the way it is :)

(Silver Linings is now through the Outline Stage and next is the Narrative plot, and after that comes the writing, but probably not until May as I mentioned previously).
