I know a bunch of you are probably waiting on Damaged Souls and some of you are waiting for me to start posting the Secret Life/Firefly crossover, He's Just A Child.

Don't know how long that's gonna take.

I just can't get my muses to write the fics. They're happily coming up with a million and one new fic ideas, but they won't let me finish these two. *glares at muses*

I'll get the fics (more specifically, Damaged Souls) up as soon as I can. These chapters just don't want to write. Be patient with me!!

And on a completely unrelated note, any of you not hating me enough to tell me where I could get my hands on some Brian/Justin (QAF) animated mood themes?

Not a chapter.

I know. I suck.

I'd written in a comment a few posts back on here that the tentative return date for "Damaged Souls" was September 1...I think you can tell it apparently isn't. I'm sorry!

I suck times two.

Long story short...ish. School is about to start. Life is hectic. One chapter is being held hostage from my beta until I get something from her. Writer's block on the chapter after that which I can't ask my beta for help on.

All that equals out to one very stressed out Crissy.

I know some of you (there are fans still out there, right?) waiting for new chapters, but just wait a while longer! The chapter I'm blocked on is the epilogue and there's only three chapters until the fic is complete. I just want to give you a regular posting schedule. =(

I suck times three?

Okay, so I'd had a ton of tanarian's fics tabbed up on my computer, but lost them when my computer decided to be mean. I'd saved them to my favorites list and just realized that all the entries to tw_flashfic are gone, so now I'm missing a couple. Not sure why it only seems to be on that comm, because the ones on jantolution and torchwoodcoffee work fine.

The ones I'm missing:
- Silver Service
- Winner Take All

If anyone has those saved to their hard drive, I'd love it if you could e-mail them over. I'll provide my e-mail address when the fics have been found.

Thanks in advance!

ETA - Found! And I stupidly didn't realize until this was replied to that I didn't post this on twstoryfinder like I thought I had. *facepalm* Links in comments.

My summer classes are over! *dance* God only knows what my final grades are, but I'm hoping to get them soon.

Onto the topic of my fics which is probably all you guys really care about...

I'm going to be working on "Damaged Souls" (Torchwood/Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossover for those of you that didn't know) and I'm hoping I can get back to posting soon. I've made you guys wait much too long. Since my flashdrive committed suicide and started this whole drama, my typed out plan for the fic had been to be around 20 to 22 chapters. Since then, though, I've looked over what I can remember from my original plan and realized that I'd added a couple chapters that really had no point to them. Looking at it now, it's more of a better bet to say that there will be either two or three chapters left, leaving the total at 18 or 19, one of the chapters being an epilogue.

I'm also going to be working on a new multi-chapter fic that will be about 6 or 7 chapters total in length. It's a crossover between Secret Life Of The American Teenager and Firefly. Weird combo, I know, but trust me on this. It's called "He's Just A Child" and there's a picture to go with the fic that I'll post when I begin posting the chapters.

And lastly, I have some fics that I wrote (some finished, some not) while sitting in my night class. Those will be posted...eventually. There're are a couple Torchwood (Janto and gen), Grey's Anatomy (George/Alex), Secret Life Of The American Teenager (Ricky/Amy), and one that's Torchwood/Secret Life Of The American Teenager (either gen or having a hint of Ricky/Amy and Janto). There may have been a couple others that I can't remember just yet.

So I'll have a lot of typing to do.

Really...I'm not even sure if anyone even reads this, but I'm posting it anyway. If any of you are readers from "Damaged Souls", I'd love to know that you're still sticking around through my long as hell hiatus.

Note: Okay, you guys. Sadly, this isn't a sign of regular posting coming back. After some work, demonchildekyra and I were able to salvage the edits I had mentioned. It took some digging through lots of MSN conversations, but we did find it and I was able to reinsert the edits into the chapter. As of right now, I'm officially out of chapters for all of you, but finals week ends on Friday and then I'm off of school for a month before I start my summer classes, so I'm going to see what I can pull out and hoopefully get something for you. You guys have been great since I lost my stuff and I just want to thank you.

Note 2: Also for a bit of self-pimping, if you can't tell from my icon, "Damaged Souls" has been nominated for a Children of Time award under the WIP category. Please vote!

Note 3: There is also a banner with the story now that was made by the lovely demonchildekyra. Thank you, hun! Her Torchwood/Twilight crossover has also been nominated under the WIP - Jack/Ianto category on Children of Time, so please take a moment to vote again.

I'm guessing you guys just want to get to the chapter now, huh?

New Chapter:
Damaged Souls - Part 16/?

Okay, so I know you guys have probably been wondering where the chapters are and what's up with my flashdrive. The guy that works with my uncle couldn't do anything.

=(

And sadly, the importance of the flashdrive disappeared on the 17th when I got into a car accident. I'm okay. Just some scrapes and burns from the airbag and a few bruises. My car...well, it isn't pretty. So as of right now, my life is kind of hectic with trying to figure out rides and how I'm getting to classes with finals week next week.

And now I've got even more to do with being the Arts & Entertainment editor on my school paper that my life is...shoot me now. Got offered the position, next day my flashdrive broke, and then 8 days later I was in my accident.

FML.

X.x

I haven't given up on "Damaged Souls" though, guys. Just give me some time. We're trying to figure out this hell with my precious car (My baby!!!! *cries*) and then I'm going to see what can be done with my flashdrive. As of right now, though, my best guess is that I'm going to have to rewrite everything.

Can I say "FML" one more time?

FML.

To all of you that have been reading my Torchwood/Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossover "Damaged Souls", I'm letting you know that as of right now, there's going to be a hiatus.

My flashdrive chose today of all days to fail and in that I've lost all my school notes and essays from the last year and every fanfic I've been working on. I had been working on Chapter 17 at the time and had made a couple edits to Chapter 16 after sending it to my beta, so I've lost those edits as well.

I am so sorry to all of you who were looking forward to a new chapter, but I'm without options as of now. The edits I had made to Chapter 16 made pieces make more sense and I made the edits a week ago, so I can't remember just what they were and I don't think it's up to the standard you guys are used to without the edits.

Please bear with me, you guys. We're doing everything we can to try and recover this information. We've asked at Staples, where I bought the flashdrive, and the most they could tell us was that it was so corrupted that it was actually reading that the flashdrive was empty and that they could send it to a place in California to get the data strip out, but it would cost us a thousand dollars.

I hate that this happened on a Thursdays of all days because I had wanted to give you guys this chapter, but things just apparently aren't working for me right now.

I will finish this fic, I promise you guys that. But being almost 3,000 words into Chapter 17, I am not looking forward to rewriting it if there's any chance that I can get it back as is.

Again, I am so sorry.

I'll keep you posted.

Note 2: This chapter was the hardest so far to write. It literally took me about two months of slaving and staring at a blank Word Document until I could get my muse to work. So I hope it came out okay. Let me know what you guys think.
