Greetings one and all! Before I do anymore writing, I wanted to say a few things about my future stories. I just finished one of my most harrowing storylines, Return, and I'm still a little jazzed about it. As I got to the last few chapters, I realized that I had to continue this story beyond just bringing Buffy back. So as I finished up Return, plans started to develop for my next big story arc, which I call "Defenders of the Night". For the record, it's a crossover between Buffy and Disney's Gargoyles. I'll be working on that one this week. Probably after the season premiere actually. I already put togethera Photoshop graphic teaser, which you'll find attached to this letter. This will be my priority story for the time being. It's in several chapters and will essentially be an alternate sixth season. No, I'm not going to copy plotlines from upcoming new eps, I'll let Joss and crew go their way while I go mine. That's what I like about fanfic. You can do your own thing, and still enjoy what the pros are doing. Anyway, the bad news is that some of my other stories are moving to the back-burner. Specifically, Somewhere I Have Never Traveled and the Third Power series. I hope to get to those at a later date, but for now I'll be concentrating on Defenders. Don't worry, I'll still be working on On Occasion and my contributions to Sappho's Spell. As for Planet of Darkness, no I haven't abandoned that one either, but I'll be re-working that storyline a little. The first four chapters that I've posted, that's one complete story,which I'll be calling "Escape from Tatooine". I plan to write two more stories for Planet of Darkness, making my own little Star Wars Trilogy(it's Star Wars, of course it has to be a trilogy, doesn't it?). One more thing that I have to get off my chest. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Gargoyles, the show involves a clan of supernatural warriors, or gargoyles, who defended a Scottish castle in the tenth century, and now defend Manhattan island from criminals and other threats. The reason I bring this up is that some of the action in my story will take place inNew York City. After much rumination, I have decided that this story takes place in an alternate universe where the World Trade Center wasn't destroyed by a terrorist attack. This is not to belittle the terrible tragedy, because it deserves to be remembered. I only know that I won't be able to fully describe theactual attack, to give it the proper weight. And simply putting it in thebackground would lessen its impact. I know this sounds like a copout, butout of respect for those who died, and for those heroes who were and are part of the recovery process, I cannot put this event into the background ofmy story. I thank you for your understanding. Okay, so you know my plans. Just hang tight, this is going to be one helluva ride!
