Today at BCTS I posted the beginnings of a Comic retcon, the first of which was “Samplings of the Population,” a Green Lantern (DC Comics) TG Retcon.
The next one will be Terra from the DC Comic’s Power Girl. She’s her sidekick, but in this story she’s her own girl. 
Center 9 – Finished
Retcon of DC Superhero stories:
Green Lantern: Jade – 4309 Finished awaiting conclusion of Terra for release.
Terra (Power Girl’s sidekick) – 19314 out of 25000 words
I have others but they’re still in limbo right now. Everything else is where it was at at the last update. Nothing’s changed.
My yearly summer visit from relatives begins tomorrow. Usually there’s not much writing going on during that time, so I’ll probably be somewhat quiet until I get something else out.
Just a little oil slick humor since it’s semi capped.

Another abandoned story that I wanted to get out of my head. This is just the setup and is ripe for someone to take it if they wanted. I really liked the idea and still do, but I know I will probably never get around to finishing it, because I have 3-4 others that I have been steadily adding on to for the last two months.
The working title was Mirror, hence the quote immediately following this sentence.
This is who I pictured as what he would look like after the operation.

Potty-mouth warning.
————————————–
I had nothing left to lose. “Fine, I’ll do it.”
The fire that burned eternal in hell had absolutely nothing on the fire of creation. That infinitesimal moment, at the beginning of all that was, when God pointed his omnipotent finger at the void and uttered his words of creation. The phrase wasn’t ‘Let there be light,’ it was, ‘Fuck it, I’ve got nothing else better to do.’
It was that same fire that created the universe that was shoved through me. It wasn’t without cost. I would pay for my escape from my own personal hell, a place where I shouldn’t have been to begin with.
Okay… this story was an experiment. I wanted to try to write an erotic story at first since it had been so long since I had actually written anything along those lines. I wanted it to be something classy and not the usual wack-along one would find at FM or Storysite. I wanted to push the edges of that boundary as close as I could and still be proud of what I wrote. I think its advisable to give you a warning as to the content, so as to not go running for the hills at the first sign of the topic.
Okay, here’s another one that is unfinished, and will stay unfinished, but is up for adoption if you want it. Ame rules apply.
The reason this one is abandoned is because I got disgusted with it and realized I was just rambling away at the point it stopped. I also realized that I had no real goal except for the “everyday living” story, which I am tired of. I like conflict in my stories and the lack of it shows. Anyway, this one had a working title of Alexis.
