Present Time 10/27

Title: Present Time.
Series: Inuyasha
Author: animealam (a.k.a. alandrem)
Rating: This chapter is R
Warnings: Some characters may be a bit OOC. Violence, the mention of drug use, attempted rape, and bad language.
Summary: Inuyasha discovers the present is more dangerous than he was led to believe.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Although I’ll probably add a couple more characters of my own imagination.
Author’s Notes:

Thanks guys for the reviews both on FF.net and by e-mail. Sorry it’s taking so long, but real life intrudes sometimes.

Also I’ll like to give special thanks to Lightning, Naoko Cat Girl and Telosphilos for the wonderful job they did editing the chapter. You were great and fast thanks a lot again.

I also made my first attempt at an anime music video; I just finished it and would have it available through grokster, morpheous or Kazaa (It’s already available here, because I still have to upload it on the following places.) Streamload, http://www.animemusicvideos.org, and my own page. I only used footage from the 1st and 2nd. Eps. It’s kind of an introduction for Kagome of the Sengoku Jidai in Axel Rose’s voice (Guns N’ Roses Welcome to the Jungle) the song is old but I thought it fit just marvelously. Anyway it’s just a first attempt, and I’m already planning a few more. The name is: Inuyasha – GNR – Welcome to the Jungle(Short).avi

Before I go on I’m making a mailing list to inform you of updates, if you want to be included please tell me on the review.

Anyway here is the chapter, hope you like it.

Harry drawn

Letters, Truths and Hopes: Chapter 02 (02/?)

Title: Letters, Truths and Hopes 2/?
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Hermione, Severus/Lily
Warnings: Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Violence, Vampire Severus, Sevitus, Seer Lily
Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.
Summary: AU, Severitus Challenge response – When visions from the past come true, the time for truths has come, as well as the time for hope and life. But will the ones in the middle of this be able to find that hope, and want to live?

Author’s note: To avoid confusion this chapter starts after they arrive from OoTP.

Athenakitty: I don’t mind spelling corrections at all. On the contrary I appreciate them. It helps me correct my writing, last chapter was a bit rushed but I have corrected those spelling problems I found so far. About Petunia doing what Lily asked her, she already started by taking the potions and reading her letters.

Dug: Thanks for your comments; I will take them into consideration. I usually like to mix telling with ‘action’ as I’m more dialog oriented in my writing. You can probably notice that on my other stories, but in this story’s case it didn’t flow, as at least the first chapters have letters in them. This chapter though, has dialogs and some action. Lily, even though she’s dead, plays an important part to get the story going, hence the letters. Don’t know if that explanation made sense, if not I’ll try to re-phrase it.

Note on my other stories: I sent the latest Apprentice chapter to my new beta a few days ago. I’m waiting to get it back to upload it. Hopefully it will be soon, so please have some patience. Second Chance is also almost ready, should be up by Sunday with the muses help. Unexpected Child? (sigh) it’s progressing (that’s something at least) at a VERY slow pace. I also have three more stories going round and round in my mind, but I’m probably going to wait a bit until I upload them.

Hopefully I will be able to update this story every week or two at the most as I’m a bit ahead on the chapters. It still depends on how I’m doing with the other stories. The chapter is not beta’ed’, so if you find any errors I would appreciate it if you pointed them out so I can correct them.

Warnings:

  • THIS IS AN AU STORY (AU=Alternate Universe). I personally believe all Severitus Challenge responses are AU, but who knows what is in J.K. Rowling mind.
  • Not a native English speaker writing.
  • Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)
  • There might be spoilers for all five books.
  • If you are a James and Sirius fan then probably part of this story is not for you, no flames will be accepted on this. Constructive criticism is welcomed though.

Letters, Truths and Hopes: Chapter 01 (01/?)

Title: Letters, Truths and Hopes 1/?
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Hermione, Severus/Lily
Warnings: Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Violence, Vampire Severus, Sevitus, Seer Lily
Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.
Summary: AU, Severitus Challenge response – When visions from the past come true, the time for truths has come, as well as the time for hope and life. But will the ones in the middle of this be able to find that hope, and want to live?

Author Notes: This is based on the challenge by Severitus, but is does not comply completely. The Challenge is: Snape is Harry’s father. I tried to give it a slight twist, but if by any means it looks similar to other stories it is not intentional. There are far too many going around, not only in, but other places as well to be completely original anymore; though the challenge to do that is there.

I have already typed around 55 letter sized pages for this story, which are around four chapters, perhaps a bit more. I’ll try to update weekly since this story has been bugging my writing time wanting to be ‘born’.

I am, as those who have been following my other stories probably noticed, a slow writer, and used to be even slower when I had to handwrite my ideas and then type them (can’t carry the desktop computer everywhere with me). I can only say that the invention of the tablet PC might make me write faster (I positively adore the thing, this whole story was written by hand on a tablet PC which converted my handwriting to a word document. NO MORE TYPING!:) ).

About my other stories, Unexpected Child is giving me one MAYOR migraine (past headache now) even though I have drafted a lot of the story I just can’t seem to get it to flow nicely, yet I’m still working on it. Apprentice’s next chapter should be out really soon, just giving it the final touches before I send it to be betaed. The same happens to Second Chance (I had to do some corrections with the timeline). For those who have read my Inuyasha story Present Time, I’m still not giving up on finishing it one day, but I’ve been having one hell of a time to get the muse to go back to it.

Also on an OT note, I am looking for writers that want their stories (from all fandoms not just HP) posted in my website fanfic-zone, if you’re interested e-mail me. I accept all ratings and types. I have some of my favourites already posted there, but I still have to receive an answer to my request for permission. If your story is there and you haven’t received an e-mail from me please inform me if you give your permission.

Warnings:

  • THIS IS AN AU STORY (AU=Alternate Universe). I personally believe all Severitus Challenge responses are AU, but who knows what is in J.K. Rowling mind.
  • Not a native English speaker writing.
  • Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)
  • There might be spoilers for all five books.

Snape 1

Apprentice: Chapter 8 (09/?)

Title: Apprentice: Chapter 8 (09/?)
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None yet, previous Snape/OC
Warnings: Violence, child abuse, manipulative but not evil Dumbledore, OOC-ness.
Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.
Summary: The war had been over for several years, and Harry’s life did not turn out the way he expected it. He ended leaving England and travelling the world. That’s where death found him, but he was the Master of the Hollows and second chances were a given. He would not waste them.

Aditional Warnings:

THIS IS AN AU STORY (AUAlternate Universe), even though I try to follow the original novels as close as I can.

Not a native English speaker writing.

Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)

There might be spoilers for all books.

Author Note: When I started writing this story, book five was not yet out.

I have decided to include details from the fifth book, not may and not yet, but there will be certain aspects of the book included.

Author Note: Well finally it’s here. Chapter eight, I hope you like it.

To some Severus might sound slightly OOC, but my beta Aphy and I believe there is enough explanation to his behaviour in this and the other chapters to justify the changes.

I can’t promise I’ll update this soon, but I’m working on the next chapter for all the stories I have pending. So will try to get something up soon.

I’d like to thank Aphy for betaing this chapter. The explanations were great :)

Well here is the next chapter. I hope you like it.

Author Note: After much thinking, I have decided to include details from the fifth book, how much will depend on how the plot is working. But so far, in what I have already plotted in my notebooks, there will be more than I originally thought. It’s really working great, even though this will definitely remain an AU.For those who disliked (or liked) toad-woman Umbridge, she will be making an appearance in later chapters. I had planned on creating a character that would have a similar role anyway, so why not use the one that J.K. Rowling had already created? And I barely have to change a few things of what I had already plotted.

I had originally planned to break this chapter in two but since I took so long in updating I decided to leave the 18 pages it is in one file. I’m also already working on typing the next chapter so with luck I won’t take as long.


In this chapter some things will be explained, so it’s not one filled with a lot of action. This is to keep building a background and also explain things that will be happening in later chapters.Also Phoenix Angel, please e-mail me if you’re still interested in beta‘ing’ this fic for me. I had some problems with my e-mail program (my own fault for not backing up and experimenting with the stuff) and lost all my archived e-mails and addresses.

For the reason above, this chapter is not beta‘ed’, although I did as much proof-reading as I could some errors might have slipped past either MSWord’s grammar/spell checker or myself.

Work on the sites

Originally published at alandrem.net. Please leave any comments there.

I’ve been having problems with the WordPress SI CAPTCHA plugin. For some reason it keeps sending errors in the code, but it does this only for alandrem.net even though I have it installed at Animealam’s Stories and at Jan’s List of Harry Potter Fanfiction, Potions, Snitches, and unlikely relations I can’t figure out what the problem is. But I like how this worked at the other sites, so I’m probably just going to wait for an update and see if that corrects the problem.

There is an security update for WordPress 2.8.2 to 2.8.3 and I hope this corrects the problem I’ve been having with deleting posts. It keeps telling me I have no rights to delete even though my user is the admin.

On to other things, I have yet to decide if I’m going to use Drupal, although it does look like a good option even though it is much more than what I really need. But I have to say that it has the flexibility I need to create content types. Perhaps some testing would be what I need to be convinced. It does require a bit more dedication to learning how the program works, unlike what I did with WordPress, but the challenge is rather interesting. In the mean time I stopped adding fics to the WordPress site for the thematic lists.

Considering Drupal

I'm considering Drupal for my Themed List site.  I originally wanted to go with WordPress, and might still do it, but I wanted to see if there were better options. I tested Joomla, but it did not allow me the use of subcategories, and frankly it seemed a bit cumbersome for what I really need. So now it's Drupal's chance.

I'm probably going to create a test site and play araound with it for a bit. If it works then I'll place it in Fanfic-Zone's domain.

Unfortunately I left this site unatended for a long time, and it crashed. I'm still trying to see if there is any chance of rescuing some of the information there, although the database seems massive and I fear the site was heavily spammed until it finally crashed. Anyway The themed list should be ok on this domain.

If Drupal does not work for what I need then I guess I'll still go with WordPress. I already have a tentative site working, although since I updated to vers. 2.8.2 I'm having a bit of a problem with installing the Pods pluging. I could re install the whole thing, and probably will anyway.

The site is Harry Potter Themed Lists, and it will basically focus on Snarry, Severitus, Sevitus, and in general fics that DO NOT contain Ginny (although there are some that should be included since they are excellent despite being Harry/Ginny)

The Blogs are back on line again

I got Iycorner.net back on line yesterday and have been doing some testing. It seems to be working fine and I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress which is 2.8.2. Alandrem.net is also back on line, but unfortunately I lost what I had there. Not that it is any great loss since I really had left that poor blog without any attention. Hopefully it won't be so abandoned now that I'm experimenting with some plugins and the option to Post Links that interest me straight into the blog.

There are several plugins testing, but the two that affect LiveJournal are the LIveJournal Crossposter, and FeedWordPress.

The FeedWordPress was a away to add some stuff directly into the blog, and it does work, but I have a bit of trouble limiting how much it post. I tried it with Dictionary.com's Word of the Day in Iycorner.net and I like how it works. I really wanted to add to the blog some wrting tips, and this should be a start, as well as a way to improve my english. The problem I found with FeedWordPress was when I added the feed for the Ubuntu news, to Alandrem.net. The blog got the news from all day, and they were rather a lot. Since I had the LiveJournal Crossposter plugin active well, poor LiveJournal got all that stuff posted. So removed the link. Still this will be very useful when I update iycorner as it will also update LiveJournal. By the way I deleted the Ubuntu News posts. They were too technical to keep here, although I plan on posting here the interesting articles and tutorials I come across.

Crashed Iycorner.net

I updated to the new version of WordPress this weekend, and it was doing great until I started woking with the plugins. One -I'm not sure which- crashed the site. Luckily I did a back up prior to adding the plugins so I will be able to have the site back up soon.

Hopefully later today.

There were several very interesting plugins that I want to add, but I'll have to go slower with them and back up the site constantly to avoid crashing it again.

Alandrem.Net crashed as well, although I'm not sure why since I did not do much with it, except the upgrade. I'll work with it as well and see if I can bring it back up again today as well.

Present Time: The Re-Write 5/?

Title: Present Time: The Re-Write 5/?
Series: Inuyasha
Author: animealam (a.k.a. alandrem)
Rating: This chapter is R
Warnings: AU, Some characters may be a bit OOC. Violence, the mention of drug use, attempted rape, and bad language. The characters are OOC. This story will live up to the M rating as I plan to add a bit more violence and/or gory details. I believe the original version was a bit mild in that respect. I knew that later on there would be some rather gory scenes as telosphilos and I originally planned, so I decided that adding a bit more description to certain scenes would only enhance the story. This warning will be in every chapter to avoid problems even though not all have violence or gory scenes.
Summary: Inuyasha discovers the present is more dangerous than he was led to believe.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Although I’ll probably add a couple more characters of my own imagination.

Author’s Note: From the start I believed this chapter was not really complete, I felt it needed more police interaction, and more background for the police characters. But I was not really inclined then to modify what I already had because it would probably change some things later on. Now though, with the rewrite, I have the opportunity to do since I’m already doing modifications to the story. I hope you like how this chapter turned out. I personally like it much better.

I did a bit of research on the web, and I found some information about ranks in Tokyo Metropolitan Police. But the information was not clear enough for me to use them, so I’m going to keep the system I originally used. It’s an Americanized version, and for that I apologize. I really would have loved to introduce into the story some actual facts of about the Japanese police system. It would have added some more realism.

The original chapter was 5,594 words. This chapter is 8,710. I’m not counting the author notes.
