SHV with Rogue Hangover: Ummm...hey we wrote and titled this post like two weeks ago and moved it to this week.... right ?
CPShawna: Yeah....
Burn
Haley's godson Sky is going to make a couple more cameos and I kind of forgot what how to write him so I ended up...re-reading Burn over break ? Burn was this really random thing I wrote but...it's maybe one of my top 5 Vice things ?
I'm not saying it's good, because it really bounces around in genre and tone, but it captures so much of what interests me. It had the SFF element, some mild cyberpunk leftovers from Vice and takes some big melodramatic turns which are always fun to write.
Sky is a lonely kid who always wanted a family and when he discovers he has one he expects to find the loving, functional, whole family he sees on TV and instead finds the exact opposite. At one point Lansing Prescott is just wandering around drunk and treats Sky like the 3-year-old he lost as he grits his teeth through a sham marriage with Maxwell so Maxwell can be president because even though he's seen Maxwell's dark side he's still in love with the idea of him.
I think that's why I subconsciously gave Lansing a mini-HEA in this. I'm not sure I know how to flex my cyberpunk muscle anymore but their is a certain "cold cruel world" aspect that doesn't exist when I jumped it in modern times. I just want everyone to be okay...but I miss the darkness 😈.
UPDATE: Uh, so Lile talked about this serial in her Rogue wrap up and I do not remember anyone having sex in front of anyone...it's from a 16yo POV so it wasn't on page but maybe I inferred it ? Now that I think about it...I didn't read the last chapter...it's not my fave, I like the melodrama parts.
Years 21
I really had fun breaking away from prose with that last chapter. The chapter originally opened with Haley at Nova's school and as they fought in the coffee shop they do a reveal of what had happened in the previous year but it felt very info dump-y.
Years 22
Recap
Sara Grace turns herself in and spends 11 months in federal prison. She is now free to live her life and decides she wants to spend half the year in New York with her daughter Twyla and half the year in Las Vegas with Luce and Rias.
Nova is kicked out of school for possession of marijuana and has to go to school online. Despite Nova's mounting behavior problems Haley still wants a baby and after they learn Luce's sperm are nonviable Twyla agrees to be the surrogate and egg donor. In my head that chapter was fall 2017 and this chapter is going to cover about six months later in summer 2018...
