Bring Me Flowers Story and Playlist

As you may know, I am writing a new story on fanfic.net called "Bring Me Flowers." I started just as I was finishing GA. Flowers won't be nearly as long as GA, but it's a good writing voyage for me. With this story, I've combined the use of colors and flowers to portray the feel of each chapter. For instance, Chapter One is entitled "Bright Pink Roses" and the chapter I recently posted is "Black Orchids." It's fun because it's a subtle way to help the reader foresee the theme of the chapter. And I also love flowers and am learning more about them as a result of this project. This story will be more detail accurate in terms of BB storyline, unlike GA, where I took a few liberties. I'm basing the story on the episode "Hooked Up" where Terry must save Max from Spellbinder's virtual reality machine at the VR Room.
I won't give away the plot, but it is a Terry/Max story with most chapters in Terry's POV (a little different from GA). It's a romance that will touch on some delicate issues. (These songs may speak for themselves in regards to the plot.)
So here's the link to the story:

The BB episodes on which the story is mainly based:

Hooked Up Episode Part I
Hooked Up Episode Part II

The End

The two words every writer hopes to someday write for each story they begin.
Guardian Angel: The Return is now complete! :)
I've spent a good few days finishing the story, so I'm a little burnt out. But it's the good kind of tired - productive tired, hehe. GA was a project in the works for years, so it will be a little different without it, I'm sure. But I created this blog so that it can always be remembered, and, of course, that's another reason why I posted it onto FanFic. Others will read it over time, and hopefully they will enjoy it and take something away from it.

While I obviously wrote GA in the beginning for myself (as I believe all writers should do - express themselves for personal fulfillment), what I'm taking way from the experience is how much I've learned to express myself for others to enjoy. That may sound pretty basic, but I've honestly enjoyed participating in online fan-fiction. Sure, good reviews boost your confidence, but when you can entertain someone else, encourage them, or cause them to think or feel something, or simply to give them a getaway from the stress of life, you really feel totally humbled and part of a bigger picture.

My favorite part of writing and finishing GA is my audience - everyone who has read it and taken something away from it.

My plans? I'll be writing more on my new fanfiction piece Bring Me Flowers as well as working on my plot idea for an original novel.

This isn't the last you'll be seeing of me! I'll keep posting on this blog with updates on my writing, media, observations about Batman Beyond and my best friend OhGodofWriting's fanfiction, etc. I'll be around. :)

What I (Elizabeth) have to say about Stephanie's story...

So we are about one chapter away from the finish of the complete Guardian Angel. After reading her most recent chapter, chapter 27 of The Return, this is the comment I left:

"You do not even know...what you have done...with this masterpiece. It deserves to be published. It is a great novel. I only wish more of the world could read it. You are truly a gifted, talented, and brilliant woman and writer."

She truly astounds me with what she has done with this plot, these characters, this chemistry...she has woven a masterpiece.
