Sorry guys.
No, it's not what you're probably thinking. I'm still continuing this story. However, Possibly Maybe and ALL of my other current fics-in-progress are on hold. There are several reasons for this. The first and most obvious is that I can't write for Heroes due to my prolonged mourning period which will only end when Kring delivers that miniseries he's promising. The second is that, for my Gilmore Girls stories, I'm just lacking any inspiration. I am refusing to write without inspiration, because the result (substandard writing and storytelling) was felt in the later chapters of IIWII. I just don't really WANT to write any of my current stories. I will finish them eventually, but not until I get that spark back for them. Thirdly, I am loaded down with university work, and it's only the second week of classes!
However, I have a very exciting new project in the works.
Updates will be slow. I can tell you that right now. However, I will be focusing exclusively on this ONE STORY (well, and my little Gilmore Universe drabbles, but drabbles take about 10 minutes, so they don't even count), so although they will be slow, they will be somewhat regular, at least once a month.
So what's this exciting new story all about?
Title: Haven't got one yet. For now I'm just calling it The Runaway
Pairing: Duh. It's Lit.
Categories: Drama/Friendship/Romance/Humor/Suspense/Hurt/Comfort because I CAN'T PICK JUST TWO
Summary: Three years post-finale, Rory is all through with the campaign trail, and is one of the brightest rising stars of journalism. However, living the dream comes with a heavy price, and when the tax collector comes calling, Rory finds there's only one place left to run.
In-Depth: No, I don't mean a LITERAL tax collector, for all those who may be obtuse about that. I mean, she's getting in over her head in some serious bad sh*t, and some very bad people are going to want to do some very bad things to get her to keep her GD mouth shut. Running to Lorelai = predictable, therefore bad. Running to Logan (whom she is NOT with, but with whom she remains friends) = stupid, since his dad is Suspect Numero Uno. Running to the Gilmores = non-viable option, since Richard will just get blustery and ostentatious about his defense of her. Running to Lane = impossible, because she can't dump her problems on a woman and her children. Running to Paris = not exactly the most helpful situation, no matter how ingenious Paris can be. I won't even BOTHER to say why going to Lucy and/or Olivia would be dumb, because I think you all know. Who does that leave? Jess. He may not be pleased to see her, but he's too much like Luke to send her away. So what goes down when they're more or less hiding out in his apartment for several weeks? I don't think anybody would be surprised to find out...
I expect to have the first chapter posted within the next two/three weeks. If Labour Day weekend is quiet-ish, maybe even sooner. I tend to write chapters in one sitting and occasionally I actually read them a second time before I post, so it all depends on when I can carve out a 3-hour block of time from my weird-ass schedule.
Just... sit tight, and I'll be back in a few.
