Dreamer's Sanctuary

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!

Yesterday, the Backstreet Boys celebrated their 20th anniversary as a group!  It was fun to look back on the last twenty years, but even more fun to look forward to what the future will bring for the Boys and us Backstreet fans:  new music, another album, a world tour, a documentary, and of course, the next cruise!  It’s so great to see the five of them together, when so many people thought they’d be long since broken up by now.  Last night’s celebrations made me feel proud and blessed to be a BSB fan!

Dreamer’s Sanctuary also has an anniversary coming up soon.  Next week, on April 29, the site will celebrate its 13th birthday.  That’s right, DS is almost a teenager!  It’s crazy to think I’ve been at this that long, since I was a teenager myself, but I’m proud of how much the site has grown since then and grateful to those of you who still visit, whether you’ve been around since the beginning or just recently discovered it.  Thank you!  I hope this place will be around for many more years to come!

In honor of both anniversaries, I have an update for you today:  three more installments of Revenge of the Slaughtered!  They are Kills #24-26, and together, they make up the Kitt Fit Kill Trilogy.  For those of you who have the stomach to digest my gory horror, I hope you enjoy!  For those of you who don’t… well, my summer vacation starts in about a month, so hopefully you’ll get some more variety when I have more time to write!

Until then, thanks for visiting, and happy reading!
