First story in the FarSight Trilogy ( and it will be a trilogy!) now completed. Second story nearly finished.... and Denise still hasn't kissed him. Ooops! SHe'll be cross with me! But there is a third story Denise... you'll have to wait!
I am going to put Betrayal on FanFIction and the Shado Library this weekend - hopefully! and I really really need to get some drawing done! Gay decided not to co-operate. Well, the picture at least. I've never done anything in 'colour' before ( apart from the beaver) so I wasn't expecting it to be brilliant, but the eyes just didn't work. I used metallic crayons for the hair and it didn't look right somehow either.
So I scrapped it. I'll try the full length ( no- not 5 foot something in length - Gay from head to foot and wearing that mini-skirt) picture later this month when I've summoned up the courage! But, pleasingly, I've cracked on with Story 2 in the FarSight 'trilogy'..although it's really looking more like two parter. (Trilogy sounds so much better doesn't it!) And when I've finished it, I am seriously going to try another Thunderbirds one.... just to annoy those people who disapprove of me writing Thunderbirds stories! A long story, not one of the usual short TB ones. I might even make it a cross over! That would put the cat among the pigeons! Perhaps I should base it on Alan Tracy ...... with a nasty rash :-) Oh yes, and I could do a picture as well! .......snigger........ I've been playing with a drawing of the alternate 'me' for Denise's Devilsgate Saga. Gosh, I wish I really looked like the picture I'm doing! Last night I finally completed 'FarSight- Resignation'. It's gone through four different titles (started as 'Getting Away', then 'Leaving It All' then 'DarkSide'... but RHO would have shouted at me if I'd called it DarkSide as its technically incorrect!)
So: FarSight it is..... for now! I just need to proof read it and hope I don't spot any glaring errors that will mean I have to re-write it yet again! It's a UFO story outside The Rachel Chronicles... so I'm not sure when I will post it! Oh, and there will be a follow-up story - at least one! There has to be! Also worked on my Virgil picture... not ready yet though! It's harder then I realised trying to get a puppet to look recognisable when he's 'normal' size! - and naked! So I treated myself to a few hours on my 'Gay Ellis in Moonbase Control' picture. First one I've done in colour (apart from the beaver that is!) and she's looking okay up to now! ( but that could all change!) I'll let you know how it goes! The front page to this site is a mess. So I am altering the way I do things! (Re-organisation is the refuge of the criminally untidy!)
I'm going to post updates of any Art work and Stories on this page. It will be easier for me! And hopefully easier for anyone ( if there is anyone out there) to read and sift through. So here goes; this will be a longish update as I am covering a few weeks work! End of March; Stories; - -Scott One Hour Virgil One Hour _ looking forward to doing the picture for this .. and it's on its way! Both under Just One Hour Thunderbirds Just Another Day ; UFO The Rachel Chronicles - Paul Foster's day doesn't go as planned (snigger) Betrayal UFO The Rachel Chronicles; Our Fears do make us Traitors Art Work Random NonUFO -a Beaver, Jake Davenport, Captain Scarlet Episodes 2; Sound of Silence - a Mobile Question of Priorities Alec Freeman Close Up - Lunar Shuttle And yes I should have done Straker waving to his baby in Q of P, but I didn't like that image! Oh...And Lt Ellis.... she's next! - in Moonbase mini-skirt! Well, that ' I hate this story. It's simply not doing as it should. You writers out there know what I mean. You have a plan.It looks good on paper. You think about all the fiddly little details. You plan out the character development, the incidentals, all the little bits that link the story together. and then you start writing. And it all goes wrong.
I couldn't even get the title to stick. So, Back to the drawing board....again. New character... Peter Fitzpatrick... it has to be a three syllable surname... don't ask me why... just sounds better. New Title... Leaving it All.. but that may well change. But I have managed to keep the central theme.... I hope...otherwise this story won't happen. Sorry, Denise! I am a little more hopeful of a successful outcome this time however. Time will tell. This is a tiny snippet; But later that evening, after his solitary meal at the same small locando, when he returned to the hotel he went down to the bar for the first time, and got a fresh lemonade and took it outside to sit on the wide patio overlooking the bay. She was there. He could see the flame of her hair, darker now in the reddening sunlight as dusk approached. She had her back to him, and he watched her for a while, noting the elegant curve of her shoulders, her slender neck, the curl of her hair....... he finished his drink and went upstairs to read his book on the balcony in the cool of the evening. ? Oh and by the way. and TIWF members - recent posts... naked Virgil? read Virgil Tracy One Hour. You might (just might) like it. But there again. It written by me - so you probably won't. :-) Break Time is now complete. As is Castled and Legacy. So that's three UFO stories waiting to be posted. Rats. I need to get my Beta reader to check them over. (I'm rubbish at punctuation actually!) and today I finally got the story line ( well the absolute basic storyline) for the next story 'Getting Away' outlined. Guess who ends up in hospital!!
It was going to involve General Henderson, but that's a bit cliched, so after a lot of thought and crossing out and scribbling, I finally managed to put together a decent plot - for the first part of the story anyway!! When I've finished sending my Beta reader 'Break Time' I'll be sending 'snippets' of this next story.... Hope she likes it. It's all about her! So now I still have three stories to finish. Life never gets any easier does it.. Getting Away, Combined Operations and A Matter of Degree. I don't really want to finish A Matter of Degree as then there will only be one more Rachel story to write. And I have really enjoyed writing those. As an aside; for anyone who thinks otherwise......I write for fun. Not for profit, or for approval, or for self-aggrandisement, or kudos. I write for fun. and that's all. And if you read any of my stuff and you enjoy it, good. I'm very pleased that I have entertained you for a short time. Or maybe made you think that you can do better... GOOD! Go for it! Life is too short to think. 'I wish I had........' but if I had to ...... I wish I'd tried drawing earlier... so many pictures, so little time! Oh Yes.. there's a One Hour Story involving The Hood on its way...sometime soon! New story. I finished this ages ago but decided to hang onto it until I had put out Verified and the April Fool story - Just Another Day. But it's got to the stage where I have four completed stories and three in the process of being completed, and so I've posted it here. I won't put it on the Library or Fanfiction yet, as I am still tweaking it in places.
I also completed the latest story today BreakTime. It needs proof reading etc, and may well end up with several additional scenes, but the bare bones of the plot are now in place. This was going to involve Denise, but I couldn't get the story to flow as well as I would have liked, so her story will have to come later - and it won't be a Rachel Chronicle story either! There was another crane on the motorway this morning. Perhaps it's a conspiracy.
As for beavers. I was asked to draw a beaver for someone.Foolishly ( I'd had a few drinks) I agreed and panicked later. Anyway I finally got round to it today. I'm going to put it up on my art page under a new heading Random:NonUFO Don't ask me to do anything else! I have oodles still to do for ME! |
