Yay, thank you!
🥰🥳🥹
I definitely did not have the full thing sketched out. There were elements of “oh, god, how did we get here?” while writing. But the earliest (last) scene sets up the latest (1st) scene so I knew where we were heading eventually. There was a lot of “how long are you going to keep this up, Sage?” too
Well, she’s awake now! 😂
Submitted a request, but didn’t have my reference files handy on my phone. Ready with them if you need. I don’t seem to be able to add to the request
Thank you! 🥰
At least she’s not too stubborn to eventually listen to reason. With mild threats
I knew it’d be this one
Thanks, Jim! 😊
Evie & Ace not knowing what the other did before provided me a unique opportunity to do the prompt, but I think it could work with any story where the author doesn’t want the reader to know what came before
It was ages ago, so I’m trying to recall.
I definitely wrote it backwards, but I have some memory of a very rough outline of “earlier” scenes I needed to hit. I also remember having moments of “ok, Evie found herself on stage doing karaoke. Where’d Ace wake up before, & what made him come here?”
Black text, green background, “shimmy” highlighted pink I unbutton his shirt and pull it off smoothly, as if showing him, *This is how it's done*, and then kiss him hungrily, stopping only long enough for Danny to get my shirt over my head. I SHIMMY out of my pants to speed up the process. His hands wander towards my breasts, but suddenly he whispers, "Why tonight?" I jerk back like he's slapped me. Which is a total overreaction, I know. But, dammit, Danny, this is why we can't get past first base. He's too worried about poor, fragile, human, crazy Evie. "What do you mean?" "I want it to be because you want to be with me. Not because you're upset about earlier." I sigh. "It's not about earlier." "It's not about me, either. I don't know what it's about, but it's not me." He sighs and heads into the bathroom.
In 10 books & >250 shorts, I have only 1 “shimmy”
It takes place in my non-canon H/V story that takes place roughly during S/H. The story’s told backwards. More in following post
Enjoy Evie trying to convince Danny to have sex. Again

My writing group was prompted to write a story backwards. I wrote Evie & Ace one-upping each other, with each scene/switch earlier than that before it
It revealed a truth about H/V. It led to BigBad’s existence. It’s why there’s 3 books, not 1
W/L contradicts S/H while overlapping it, so non-canon

Setting yourself up for success, yes!
If you write a story
and it gets rejected…
You still wrote a story. Do you think just anyone can do that? Be proud of yourself.

I literally dreamed last night about technical difficulties getting in my way for requesting this 🥺
That pun was just sitting there ready to be used
This is so fun!
I’m sure she’s made enough friends & BB’s made enough enemies that someone will help. There’s always an Ace up her sleeve, too.
Probably the justice will be poetic in the end ⚖️🧑⚖️
Danny and Evie do start assembling clues that point to him, rather than Ace, but he’s been hiding so long, & taking him down does seem like a dangerous affair for an amateur detective like Evie to take on, even after Danny puts the clues together
Maybe I’ll do another book tonight 🕵️
Her mother, Evelyn, is a grieving widow who’s out for blood in revenge for her husband’s death.
Poor Bug is the second victim, killed due to his unwilling assistance to the killer & evidence he has against him
My mysteries are Agatha Christie novels, if you couldn’t tell
…& is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. This ever-so-plucky heroine assists the detective, Danny.
She has her doubts about red herring Ace, who she was meant to marry, & starts having impure thoughts about the hero, Jesse, who tried to save her father’s life
The killer is obviously BigBad, & poor Ace is the red herring. I mean, he is awfully suspicious & BB set up all the clues to point to him.
Darrick Dark is the victim, but his daughter Evie was the intended victim. She discovers his body…

It’s okay. This is a point in the trilogy where you can count on Blake to put himself in harm’s way to save Ren from danger!
Wait….
It’s one of those ghostly things. Being here on Earth by unnatural forces led him to be drawn to the other unnatural force, & he tried to get Blake’s attention but just couldn’t help drifting towards the vortex inside the room instead
I just assumed they meant the magical Mr. Mistoffelees
Black text, green background, “residents” highlighted pink I'm not paying attention to Ren until his glow dims on me, nearly going out. I snap to where his presence is, but it's on the other side of Huck's door. "Ren!" I yell, not caring about the other RESIDENTS of this nursing home. One opens the door to check on us, but let them call the cops on us, let them arrest me. Especially as I'm about to assault my cousin in the hallway looking for that key. I don't have to search her, though, because she pulls it out immediately. I grab it from her shaking fingers and try to stick it into the lock, only my fingers are just as shaky, stupid things. "Ren, talk to me," I call through the door. "Ren, it's not funny."
Blake & Joy can sense that something dark is in Huck’s room as they investigate Huck & Aggy’s disappearance, but Ren’s still compelled to fly through the door
