Dreamer's Sanctuary

Well, I didn’t expect it to take me another month to finish the story I gave you a sneak peek of in my last update, but it did.  What can I say?  The end of the school year is busy, and so far, the start of summer vacation has been pretty busy, too!  That said, I AM on summer vacation now, so I finally got around to finishing the next installment of Footprints, “Yellow Roses.”  This one’s for the Nick and Claire shippers – it’s the sappiest piece of romantic fluff I’ve written in awhile!  Chronologically, this will probably be the LAST part of Footprints, though I may go back and add in some other parts before it.  Probably not anytime soon, though.

I’m hoping to go back to Guilty Roads next.  I have had some success finishing chapters for that lately and will start posting them once I feel more confident that I can keep them coming.  What I don’t want to do is update and then leave everyone hanging again for as long as I have the last couple of times.

I also have a couple of crossovers in the works – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Backstreet Boy, which is further along than what is posted here, and an ER crossover which I’ve started but haven’t posted.  If anyone’s interested in either of those projects, leave a comment and let me know!

Thanks to those of you who have registered for the site and left reviews on what you’ve read recently; I really appreciate the feedback!

As promised, I’m back with another update, but unfortunately, it’s not done, so all you get is a sneak peek today.

Over on the Absolute Chaos forum, Maggie posted a challenge in honor of the Backstreet Boys’ 20th anniversary.  The challenge was to write a story about a 20th anniversary celebration.  My mind went immediately to Nick and Claire, and that is why I went back to writing Footprints.  I’ve been working on what eventually may be the final part of Footprints (I will go back to fill in the gaps, but this one will be the last to occur chronologically), a story about their 20th wedding anniversary.  It just so happens that in the Broken universe, their anniversary is May 14, so I really wanted to have the story done in time to post today.  Unfortunately, real life (and last night’s tour planning frenzy!) got in the way, and I’ve only just begun.  So I’ll do something I rarely do and post a sneak peek now and the rest when I finish.  This is more to satisfy my own obsessive-compulsive need to halfway meet my deadline than to appease you all, but hey, you get something out of it, too.  So here is a snippet of the next installment of Footprints, “Yellow Roses.”

Happy 3rd anniversary to my fanfic power couple, Broken Nick and Claire!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

I’ve posted another segment of Footprints, this one called “Bygones.”  This is the first scene I envisioned when I got the idea for the story after watching the season finale of ER in 2007, so it was nice to finally get to write it, six years later… LOL.  (I’m hoping this will happen with Guilty Roads over the summer, but I make no promises.)

Enjoy the update!  I may be back with another one on Tuesday if I can get it written in time.

…I posted my first webpage on Yahoo! Geocities, and Dreamer’s Sanctuary was born!

In honor of the site’s thirteenth birthday, I have an update on a story that’s half as old!  Footprints has been updated again with a new part, entitled “Rejection.”  Enjoy!

It’s been almost five years since I’ve updated Footprints, the companion piece to Broken and By My Side.  It was started as a side project, but I’ve since moved on to other stories and characters.

A recent challenge got me thinking about Nick and Claire again, and I finally got inspired to finish the next “footprint” I had started about five years ago.  Hopefully there will be more where this one came from, but for now, Footprints has been updated with a new part, called “Windows.”

I hope my Broken readers will enjoy it!
