I feel awful that I have, hopefully that'll come to a stop really fast and we'll be back to work on that one, too!
And you're right, I'm thinking 2 chapters and the Story'll be done. |
Awesome. I really liked Tabitha because of how dramatically different it was from SOtS. That and all the emotion in the story was staggering. I think I read all the available chapters in the same day because I couldn't let it go, I had to know what was going to happen, even though I read far enough into SOtS to know a thing or two. Still a very gripping story.

His name doesn't appear on the last couple of chapters because either he never got back to me or he told me there was nothing he could do to make them better than they were. I had to disagree myself, James' contribution to Tabitha has taken that Story into areas I'd never have thought of. I've said before I can't write Tabitha without him, and I still stand by that statement. He's a terrific writer and a terrific guy. |
Well, that's unfortunate. I hope you guys can work something out, in regards to Tabitha at least. But it does seem like James is getting back to writing though. Chapter 101 of the ZZ story was posted this month. Hope to see more from him, he is a talented guy.

That's great that you have good friends to help out. Sometimes a fresh approach can work wonders, and get the creative juices flowing.
Props to Racky!

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm FAR from disappointed. I'm happy as hell you're still keeping it going, even after 10 years. That's incredible and rare, considering some of the other sabrinaverse stories that never got a fraction as far. |

If you are up on ZZtS please feel free to check out my other fanfic A Two Way Street. |
Sounds good. I went ahead and saved both to my PC off the bookshelf and will def get to them once I'm done with On Location. |

I had to stop after ch. 6, it had me racked with tears and was so depressed I couldn't go back to it for more then a weak. It felt like a real friend had died I told Chris I had thought he was evil. _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners." Charlton Heston

Wow man, thank you! Be sure to let James know, too!!
I wanted to go with a lesser comedy style with this Story, I wanted it to contrast with Sabrina , not be a cookie-cutter copycat. When Mark White hit me with the opening, most of which became Chapter 1, I had to give myself some recovery time, then the second time I read it I sold myself on the idea. James then was an up-n-coming writer, I'm not even sure if Zig Zag had gone live yet or not. He bumped stuff into Chapter 2, and wow was it an improvement over what I'd written.

Thanks, I do too. I honestly can't write it as well without him. And I don't care what he says about that.

So do I. I can't believe he's doubled my output like that. But when the muse strikes, you run with it!

That's the truth!! Racky deserves most of the credit for these chapters!

Really? This must have been back in the day when it was new, right?
I only just discovered Sabrina Online back in September, so I knew about a few things from SOtS before I got around to reading Tabitha. Most notably the endometriosis storyline. Of course, I didn't understand it at the time, but once I started reading Tabitha it became clear.
Still, the parts where Chris Foxx was dreaming of Sabrina or watching those family videos had me chocked up pretty bad. The hospital scene was particularly powerful. |

What would be the best order to read those in?
It's funny, but I'm almost afraid to read some of these more emotional stories. Almost. |

Well, maybe you can motivate him for the last couple chapters. Send him some extremely horrendous stuff that's almost personally insulting and see what he says. hehe

If only I had that luxury.
But I don't think I would, even if I could. I'm a bit pedantic when it comes to reading and watching movies/tv. I can't stand spoilers or these movie trailers that show too much of the movie. I have HBO and if I come across a movie I've been wanting to watch, I'll change channels away really quick. I don't care if the movie started 5 minutes ago, I'm not watching it unless I can start from the beginning and watch it uninterrupted beginning to end.

I am NOT alone!!
I'm weird about spoilers too, that's why I'm always careful when talking about a show or a film to anyone. I almost didn't see Transformers because a guy I was talking to at Anthrocon dropped one on the ending.
If someone does try to drop one on me ... well, then that person sorely underestimates my ability to put my hands over my ears and go LA-LA-LA ... !

I had a very similar experience reading some of the 'Variations' stories as well--Final Farewell and Time Enough for Love particularly affected me.
