Because I'm off on Spring Break this week, and my brain insists on explaining what's happening to George, I give you this! Warning, it's a WIP, but concrit is welcome and will be taken into consideration as I finish the fic. It's not a shipper fic, and it's not a mystery, but it's somewhere inbetween-I'm making progress, y'all!  Title: The Rip Author: Fallenbelle Rating: T for Suggestive Adult Themes Characters: The entire core MM gang: William Murdoch, Julia Ogden, George Crabtree, Thomas Brackenreid, and Emily Grace. Special visits by Margaret Brackenreid, Henry Higgins, Edna Garrison Brooks, Simon Brooks, Lillian Moss, and Jackson. Who knows who else might make an appearance before this is over?  Genre: Drama/Romance Summary: His gut instinct told him that all was not as it appeared. Spoilers: Everything in season 8 is fair game. Do NOT read if you don’t want to be spoiled for 818, The Artful Detective. Major spoilers from that episode. Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters-just having fun, and promise to put them back when I’m done. I’m making no money. Notes: Title comes from the song of the same name by Portishead-who prove an excellent soundtrack to which one can write MM fic. Thanks to I’dBeDelighted for taking a look at this, and making a few suggestions, but this fic is unbeta’d and all mistakes remain mine alone. This story, while based on the events of 818-The Artful Detective, is pure speculation based on intuition, imagination, and interview with Peter Mitchell about what happen next season. Any similarities are entirely coincidental. I’m trying something new with this fic, and I suppose you’ll let me know if it’s worth continuing? www.fanfiction.net/s/11169123/1/ |

It looks like your preparing to take the full dive into alternative history here! I encourage you to go for it. The exercise will teach you a lot about the structure of mystery novels. You may even end up repurposing what you wrote. A number of bestsellers started as fanfic: Outlander, 50 Shades of Gray, and the whole Twilight saga reeks of fanfic as well...anyway, if you have the time and energy, why not see if you can carry something book length?

I've always been meaning to write a book, and while I've started a few, I've never finished one as I've never had an idea that moved me that much. This is my first mystery, and writing it has been eye opening to say the least; I'd never considered this genre before. This is the longest thing I've ever written, and while my goal was to see how much I can write in a week's time, I don't think that I can carry this to novel length, this is still a writing exercise for me. My goal is to have this finished before I return to work Monday. I'm working on the last chapter or next to last chapter now. |

For the record, the fic is now complete-all 19,000+ words/43 single spaced word document pages of it.  Longest thing I've ever written. No, seriously, my graduate thesis was only 21 pages, double spaced. Admittedly, this was a helluva lot more fun and didn't go through 13 drafts like my thesis did...  |

Hey, that's karmic revenge: you got away with murder on your graduate thesis! Those can be as long as a doctorate!  Looking forward to reading your magnum opus!  |

Well, my thesis contained original research written, performed, extrapolated, and analyzed by me. That's probably how I got away with a shorter thesis--I wasn't just researching others work. . This may have been longer, but it was way more fun to write, and took 8 days as opposed to months. I left it open to a sequel, but I have to come up with a plot first. |

I really enjoyed this fic good plot and believable scenario for Brooks. I thought you wrapped it up a little too quickly but I realize you had time constraints. |

Still need to carve out a block o' time to finish this. I really enjoyed the first 3 chapters!  |
