I am really lost for a title ?

Challenge !
 
Recently Shawna and I agreed to switch things up with a little challenge in which I would write a (correct me if I'm wrong) side story to the Veritas series. I choose this  because I used to love science fiction when I was teenager.  I understand this is cyberpunk so we will see how it goes ! Any advice ?

Je' Ne Regrette Rien 


I really did not think I would be able to update with how hectic things have been, but after moving into a new house I am finding myself with so much free time, just listening to music.

Picspirations

I though I might give picks for the rest of the DeLune family. I found myself inadvertently choosing certain pictures for a reason.





Clair DeLune (47)



Elizabeth Hurley












Claudia (30) & Derek (28)

Victoria Beckham
Zachary Quinto


Clarice (28) & Colin (35)
Lacy Chabert







 
Jesse Tyler Fergunson


  















Rosalie (4) & Clara (26) and Mr. Fierro (29) (81)

Suri Cruise*
Katie Holmes
Kevin Zegers

Formatting that last one took me almost 30 minutes

* I feel bad for posting a picture of her, but her outfit is perfect.



Andover House

Pink House in New York





















I don't have one for Martin DeLune yet
Chapter 3

Rainer is accusing Clara, Clara is accusing Mr. Fierro, Mr. Fierro is accusing Clara, Juliet is accusing everyone and why do they keep mentioning Thanksgiving ?

I hope you don't get whiplash (:

ABWG Preview

Chapter one is complete so I decided to post it just to give you a taste. I have been holding on to this long before it was requested and putting it out there helps to shape the rest.

So, go ahead and read it and then under the cut there will be extra information about it.


Playlist

 The music is not as strict for chapter one but as the story goes on it gets more exact. One song absolutely makes this story but we haven't gotten there yet. For some reason the playlist is acting up so a link can be found here

Chapter 1, Angel Black, White and Gray






ABWG Section

I know strange to start a story about Sofia off with Tomas' POV but I couldn't stop myself that was how it came to me. As I mentioned I am a big fan of Tomas and I could kick myself for the times that I had to stop from writing him like another male character.

I think the other reason I did this because this is probably the first installment we are going to have where Tomas is actually not on drugs so that is something to think about in regards to how he is trying to function. I wish I had more to say about Sofia but that will come in later.

I find that this story will have similarities with UL2 I couldn't help but to use it for inspiration. I hope you don't mind SH !

Je Ne' Regrette Rien

Chapter 1 and Prologue

This chapter was just a little head start. I realize that it may have seemed like Clara doesn't have a daughter but she was lying to Rainer. I know I failed the Bechdel Test in every other story and someone mentioned how well I was doing here but it was almost unintentional

Pictures

Juliet is quite obviously based on Emma Watson














Detectvive Olive Rainer, I can picture Kate Walsh








Becuase I always pick a new one Natalie Portman in her Dior ad reminded me of Clara.











Chapter 2, JNRR

Chapter 1 and 2 were originally one chapter but I split them up for "tension" but I feel like this is a god set-up point.

Connections
In a complete non-cannon way the events that happen between chapter 1 and 2 of JNRR would be Standing In The Rain. But ABWG takes place in Summer 2010 and JNRR takes place in December 2011 so therefore it can not actually happen it just might explain why Clara appeared the way she did when I wrote that.

Chapter 2

So, where is Clara going now that she has her sister's passport ?

Playlist

Chapter 2

Which Web Serial Is Up To Bat ? ( AKA WHAT AN UPDATE !)

@ Shawna 

Original Spirits
SH kept telling me how inspired she was by the orginal spirits and I just recently read over it and I realize I could never flesh out that story properly. I can see the inspiration used in Veritas I always said it wasn't the kind of story I could tell but it was one you told beautifully. It's all yours if you want it !

Methodology
I was conflicted on which Web serial to post first. orginally I wanted to post whichever one was 10k first but they both reached that point, so that went out the window. Angel : Black White & Gray will be shorter than Je Ne' Regrette Rien.

Recap

Je Ne' Regrette Rien

Incase you couldn't telll I consider this the fifth installment in the Litany Lane series because I consider August a part on it's own  and I love the word pentalogy. Admittedly "Paranormal Mystery" may have been a slight understatement but I'll let  you be the judge of that.

Angel : Black, White and Gray

I knew I had to keep up with the name thematic here but I wanted to explore black, white and gray areas of life. I've mentioned numerous time that this story will cover the loose ends in Dark Ange land I'm sure people who know me will point out to me when I get to "real" but it a large part of the process. Also I think the 'trailer' was meant to come across as a little more abstract.

Why ?

I have such big plans for ABWG and there is so much that  still needs to come together for it to feel real. ABWG and JNRR are on two complelty different planes, the somewhat "surrealism" tone of JNRR made it so easy to write. I really need ABWG to be perfect before I start posting it.



JNRR Prologue and Chapter 1

There is not much to say except this takes place 6 months after Desert Sand Iris. Quite a few chapters are already written so maybe I will inter-post this with ABWG . This will give me something to do while I am taking breaks from writing my memoir !

As always I've been hoarding this chapter since November so it's sad to see it go.
