Zab suggested I share little snippets of my work with the community, as a means of both entertaining you and giving you little glimpses into how my brain works. I don't yet know what I'll dump into this thread. It could be concept sketch-outs I may or may not have adhered to any part of, cut or severely rewritten material, or sneak peeks into future chapters (via my muse's habit of giving me scenes I'm a long way from ready to slide into the story).
Before we get started, you should know that every story I have in the works or completed has its own folder in my files, and each of those has a sub-folder entitled "rewritten." I dump everything I no longer need into the "rewritten" folder, deleting very little. Old notes, cut scenes, original versions of scenes that went through major rewrites before being used, and scenes I wrote so far ahead, they no longer matched the story by the time I got to where they would have slid in. It's mostly garbage, but I've kept it.
I've recently given serious thought to beginning the slow process of digging through the rewritten folders and thinning them out. There are things in there are are boring, pointless, and should have been deleted ages ago. But there are also little nuggets of things you might find entertaining to read. If I can talk myself into cleaning out those folders, I'll likely use this thread to share what I dig up.
And again, for the record, I'm only subjecting you to this stuff because of Zab. Blame her for whatever oddities of fanfic end up in this thread.
