#TimeTravelAuthors Jan 1: Intro
First, Carrie meets the person trying to kill her. Later, he encounters her for the first time. Also, one of the assassination attempts succeeds in killing Carrie, meaning... does he actually go back to the start of the book then? Well, he might, since someone else will go back and save Carrie...
Having a day job isn't the only reason this thing has taken me almost ten years to work out.
#TimeTravelAuthors 3: "Deal"
*
“There will be a blast rendering you unconscious. I want that data recorded by the chip. Particularly if the blast kills you, so that I know how for it to not do that again.”
Carrie did a double take at the cavalier way Heather had presented that. “What, for your next guinea pig?”
“No, for after we go back to save your life, idiot. I do not want to have to deal with all this again with someone else,” Heather said irritably.
Touche.
#TimeTravelAuthors 5: Projects?
Main one is "Time Untied", the sequel to "Time & Tied". It's been a WIP since 2017 and is now over 300k words with the final climax approaching. T&T is currently reposting to AO3.
Epsilon's "Angel Pasta" serial featuring the lesbian duo of Angel and Patty in 1963 France was put on hiatus after 8 episodes in 2024. It will return.
"Last Magical Girl" has been on hiatus since 2010. It MAY return. Annual XMath parodies continue. There's always something.
#TimeTravelAuthors 7: name?
*
“Your name is actually Sherlock? For real?”
“For real,” Sherlock asserted. “Why? You expecting a more African-American name?”
“Oh. I, uh...”
Sherlock’s hands moved to his hips. “Might I also point out that my stated interest in mysteries is related to my family in general, not merely my name in specific? Moreover, the famous fictional detective could have been black.”
Carrie frowned. “What?”
I wonder how soon Sherlock shows up. We haven't run into them yet.
@NaraMoore @juliebihn If you're referencing "Time & Tied", he doesn't. All my online ruminations (about Jenny, Sherlock and Peaches) are for the "Time Untied" WIP sequel, which is first year University.
"Time & Tied" (unfolding on AO3) was strictly high school. It took 4 "books" (1 & 2 in junior year, 3 & 4 in senior year) while "Untied" is already substantially longer... though it does have a natural breakpoint too (in October) for when it comes out.
Hope that's not a disappointment.
No disappointment, only curiosity.
@NaraMoore @juliebihn Good to know then, thanks. :)
My honest goal is to have "Untied" ready to roll out on AO3 as soon as "Time & Tied" finishes it's rerun there in early 2027. It's partly why I haven't resumed other writing.
Granted, my original goal was to have "Untied" finished by 2025, but Oh My God was 2024 a bad year for me.
