it has been a very, very long time since I logged on. Now, I am in the middle of a personal crisis And the story that is working on bringing me back is Sammy Keyes. I won't make any promises, but I might try to tackle the stories I started but never finished. We'll see how that goes.

Completed Sammy Keyes Stories

-This is my ultimate fandom. I love writing for SK because I can channel Sammy really, really well. I promise, I will keep updating and writing my stories…I just keep getting sucked into other places. But SK is still my home base community.

-I prefer writing these stories in Sammy’s point-of-view. I find that I can capture her voice easily, especially her attitude. There are so many times where I wish I was Sammy, or even like her. She is such a strong character and wonderfully witty.

The Date: A Casey and Sammy story filled with what if’s for the next Sammy Keyes book. Very cutesy and contains spoilers. This is also my first FanFic, so it isn’t my best work. Completed with three chapters.

Graduation: A future fic involving, you guessed it, Sammy and Casey. Just a little somethin’ about our favorite couple and what is next for them. Completed with one chapter.

Saving Lives: This contains major spoilers for Sammy Keyes and the Cold Hard Cash. It is in Casey’s point-of-view as the events surrounding the pool party unfold, dramatically, as is the Acosta style. Completed with one chapter.

Misunderstanding Courage: Get out the tissues because this one is a tear jerker. And, yeah, there is Casey and Sammy, but really, the focus is on Grams and Sammy. Completed with one chapter.

September: Set in Casey’s point-of-view and his reflection on his first love, who never really left his heart even after he graduated and left Santa Martina. The fic is based/surrounded by Daughtry’s song, “September”. Completed with one chapter.

Fingerprints: Sammy mulls over life in high school and why she feels so different from everyone else. Her musings are inspired by Katy Perry’s song, “Fingerprints”. And maybe it’s because she always has been different and confident in her differences. Completed with one chapter.

Her Impact: A small little story set in high school about why Casey changed so much from being the good guy with the bad boy friend’s to the good guy with solid friendships and normal sanity levels. Completed with one chapter.

Casey’s Plan: The story of how Casey managed to get the courage/guts to ask Sammy to the Farewell Dance…and all the little steps it took for him to make the night one to remember. Completed with one chapter.

In-Progress Sammy Keyes Stories

The Wedding Crasher’s Story: Casey Acosta has had one hell of a time trying to get together with Sammy. And every time his name came up in the Wedding Crasher, he was going through his own issues about Sammy and their parents and his sister. So, in about a month, I will publish, one chapter at a time, Casey’s story during Wedding Crasher. In-progress and will be published a month after the release of Wedding Crasher.

Lessons in Backpacking: Everyone remembers how Sammy ran into Casey backpacking and how she freaked out. How exactly did Casey react when he saw Sammy on the train…in just her underwear? Well, Casey isn’t exactly the cool customer he makes himself out to be. And in-between trying to calm his mind down around Sammy is a hilarious adventure as he, Sammy, Cricket and Gary solve the condor mystery. In-progress and will ideally be done by before Christmas. There’s a ton of inspiration to work with here; I’m surprised I didn’t think of it sooner.

Reunion: A future fic for when Sammy, Marissa, Holly and Dot finally make it to high school and get to reunite with old friends and flames. Major Casey and Sammy romance and of course, Heather drama. In-progress as inspiration strikes.

Echoing Friendships: Kind of an alternate universe where Sammy is sent to Hollywood, but comes back three years later as a junior to try and re-meet her old friends, and maybe punch some enemies in the face. In-progress once I decide whether the twist is worth it or not.

Beyond Life: This was supposed to center around Holly’s story, but my idea changed drastically once I started writing, so a mere reflection/action of the past years of junior high and high school for Marissa, Sammy, Dot and Holly. In-progress and should be done within a couple of chapters.
