Fic Update

[cornerofmadness]

Believe it or not I've 'finished' another chapter of Hyperion's Son (not sure if I'm 100% happy). This chapter is dedicated to a2zmom  for her charitable donations. Tempers flare, money is stolen, and the past becomes overwhelming. Chapter Eighteen

hope you enjoy. well it's not pretty and enjoyable but you know what I mean

Yeah!

Lovely and absolutely heartbreaking. I really like the the Angel/Connor relationship is so frought with emotion and is developing so slowly. One step foward and two steps back is so much more realistic.

The Connor scuplure was hysterical and a much needed bit of lightness. (I'm choosing to belive that his endowments were a genetic gift from dad.)

Please tell me that you are not going to wait so long for the next chapter?

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yes, I think it's very realistic that Angel and Connor's relationship isn't all peaches and cream now that Angel's there to help. Mistakes will be made.

Of course Dawn could be just flattering the boy or it looks bigger when you're that skinny or maybe he did inherit something from daddy after all :-P

I sure as hell hope it won't take that long but you can bet you won't see another until at least december

Thanks

Firstly, I would like to thank you for updating. It has been a long time since I've read chapter 17 and finally 18 is out. Yeah!!

Read it last night after watching the movie "Love Actually". When I opened my email informing me about chapter 18, I knew I couldn't sleep. I have to read it before I go to bed.

Anyway, I have to tell you that this is another good chapter.

I like especially the first part where Angel and Connor bonding together and Connor sort of letting go his hatred towards Angel, letting out his emotions. But in the later part, where Connor was accused of stealing the $20 which he didn't (I knew it), I just felt so sad for him especially where Angel lost his temper beating the crap out of Connor (when reading that part, I really cried). That part really reminds me of Angel Season 4, Episode 20, where the spell was broken by Cordelia's blood and Connor exposing Angel & his crew that they are here in the hotel.

I like that kid, Joshua. He is so sweet and cute. I'm sure he is also a mischievous kid.

As for the last part of chapter 18, I felt that Dawn really suits the part as a friend for Connor at this point of time. Sometimes, I think Connor really needs a friend like her to talk to. Dawn and Connor, their lifes is not much of a difference so I guess they could really connect.

I guess this time Angel really screws up, huh..well, parents do make mistakes right and nobody is perfect.

So Dana, am I/are we going to wait a long time for the next chapter?? Not rushing you at all, I know its not easy to write. Ya, juz wanna tell you that I'd really enjoy this chapter a lot. I was in the train of different emotions while reading it.

And thanks again ;p

thanks for all the great feedback. I'm so glad you liked it. I'll admit the scene fromcanon in the hotel was what I was aiming for with the scene between Angel and Connor in the brothel. Dawn is surprising me. It's like I didn't intend for you to do this, Dawn and she's like yeah so?

Hopefully it won't be AS long as last time between chapters but it'll be a little while with Nano and a couple of promised stories I have to get done. then again I'm off all Decemeber practically (ah the few joys of being a college professor)

Re: Thanks

Just wondering, what is Nano?? What is it about?? I always see the percentage bar. I'm very curious cos I always see you, its_art and many others talking about the Nano thingin, so what it is??

It's short hand for National Novel Writers Month. It's a challenge started by Chris Baty to get writers to break a few bad habits, like talking and not doing, reediting the same chapter again and again and never moving on, obsessing on every word and not moving on etc.

Basically the challenge is to write a novel in one month, or at least 50,000 words of it. This forces you to just write and not worry if it's good or not. Yes you'll cut lots of it later but you'll still have more usable stuff at teh end than with those other bad habits in play

Wow looks challenging!! Hmm..I'm not good at words but I wish you luck and hope you have lots of inspiration when you are writing =D
