I posted a new story this morning! Hooray!
It's outside of my usual, predictable haunts (read: Lord of the Rings and... well... Lord of the Rings) but it's far from being outside of my realm of comfort! Being an absolute Anglophile and longtime lover of all things Shakespearean, I decided after taking a Shakespeare class a few semesters ago to try my hand at a fanfic inspired by the great Bard.
My favorite comedy being A Midsummer Night's Dream, I went for that, modernizing the setting and characters. It always bothered me that at the end of that crazy, bespelled night, Demetrius is the only one left under the power of the flower's spell. What would happen if he actually woke up from that spell one day? And what if Helena had the power to wake him from the spell? Would she actually do it?
In Athens, GA, Helena begins having nightmares that disrupt her dream life - she begins to remember what had happened in the forest. Should this interest you, feel free to click the link below and read!
Hope you enjoy!

Let the rewrites BEGIN.
So...
Are you ready for good news?? My dear friend and beta Siobhan said the words, "I'll be mailing you your edits next week." Everybody prepare yourselves, because the editing will be fast, and will probably be furious. As soon as that package arrives I will be ON IT.
I'm ready for them, though. I've had some time and distance since I gave them to her (last July) and since I have worked on the story itself, so I will be focusing hard on getting everything just right. I have some ideas already about what I want to change (in particular, adding in more conflict; I don't know that the story has enough conflict between characters, specifically.) I can think of a few scenes I'd like to write, as well, so I can't wait to get to doing that as soon as possible!
I may get to post the first chapter soon! Hopefully, I'll be posting more regularly on this blog as my account becomes more active.
This story has been almost four years in the making, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!
