Chapter 17 of Lost Years is up, with more exploration of intimacy, both physical and emotional.

While gradually uploading chapters of Daughters of Blood and planning out future chapters of Lost Years, I've also decided to take on the project of rewriting Everything Has Changed, the story I wrote 10 years ago that is still so close to my heart. It's about time to revamp it and make it less cringey to read, even if the cringe is part of its charm  I'm almost done figuring out what I'll change and what I'll keep, so keep an eye out for when I finally take this project on properly!

Now that the Halloween Special is finished, here are some details about it that no one asked for.
          
          The story comes from one I was writing around the same time as Everything Has Changed, after I found out that Quasimodo was likely inspired by a real person that Victor Hugo would have met. He was, as in the story, a stonemason who supervised a team of carvers working on Notre Dame, who was known only as Le Bossu. The name Trajan actually belonged to one of his employees. I wrote about a girl who went back in time to the 1800s, met him and fell in love, but instead of ending in death for both of them, she had to return to her time, and found something he left for her in Notre Dame when she visits it.
          The most historically inaccurate part of this story is the fact that Shakespeare and Co exists in 1820. In reality it wasn't opened till the 1950s, but I thought it would be a fun element of the story to include it.
          Victor Hugo most definitely wasn't living in a sharehouse in the 1820s, but I thought including him would be a nice touch considering he would have known Le Bossu. Speaking of Hugo, if it wasn't obvious, the fire was his fault. His window was open and the wind blew his candle over, into his paperwork.
          Even with all this historical inaccuracy, I still included an opera that would have been playing in the 1820s, in a venue that was open then.
          That's all I can think of for now.

I think this would make a GREAT historical fiction novel! I know a couple historians who would love to supervise and help :)
