Two years, and counting


Today marks two years since I’ve posted the first chapter of my first Chuck fic.  I've learned a lot since then, reading the greats like Frea O’Scanlin, ninjaVanish and quistie64, to name only a few.  And I owe a lot to Nervert, the other “man” in my life (sorry, buddy, couldn’t resist), for all his patience and encouragement and the amazing job he’s doing as a beta – trust me, if you could see the ‘before’ and ‘after’ drafts, you’ll understand.  You’re an amazing friend and I hope I get to go to Seattle someday and actually meet you in person.  I also have the privilege to work with mxpw on some of my stories and everything you’ve heard about him is true – he puts the awe in awesome.  Now if we can only get him to free Bryce Larkin…  Of course no learning experience is complete without feedback, so thank you to each and every reader who has taken the time to leave a review or send me a PM or a tweet.  Your support means the world.
So now two years have passed, but it’s not the end.  I know updates have been slow lately, but I have every intention of finishing Cover Life, A Common Spy Problem, Inconvenient Truths and For All That We Are.  Speaking of Cover Life, I unfortunately don’t have a chapter ready for posting today, so I bring you another outtake.  And as a bonus, the scene I’ve finally decided on.  Enjoy.

It's A Wonderful Cover Life - Outtake

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that it took 19 tries before I finally liked the next scene of Cover Life (and came up with one that didn't bring the story to a staggering halt).  This is not that scene.  But I've figured that the story's been gone a while, due to various reasons, so I'll give you a lil' somethin' somethin'.  Plus Nervert liked it and the poor guy has been beta'ing so much stuff that fell victim to the delete button in the end, so this is for you, buddy.  Mistakes are mine - I can't remember anymore what I've fiddled with.
