Yellow is a kick ass color. So is red and bright blue and green...and pink...and red with pink...I'm like a crayon box. Laura has seen my multicolored checkered boots. Colors. *happy sigh*

Yellow is pretty - to look at others wearing. I'd look like a dyspeptic squirrel in a banana peel suit.

Thanks so much, Silver! I'm so glad you liked them. I haven't given an update for Cai & Darryl yet, it will really depend on the editing process and writing process. Once I begin writing something other than an outline, I'll probably have a better idea. Wish I coul give you a better timeline =), but I'm pretty obnoxious about editing the crap out of things. NSI will also go to two editors this time, I think, instead of one. And then the five beta readers. So I will have to wait until all of them are done reading before I begin the process of self-editing again.

That was probably the most boring way to tell you that I don't know =D Heh. Hopefully the latest will be the end of the summer? Does that help? It's not set in stone, but it's my goal.

As long as you wear all of them, and I can go with black is all good :D

Few of notes before I post links to two outtakes from the original SG. This was the one I scrapped and I did it for a couple multiple of reasons:

1. It was 1st person present tense.
2. If you thought Austin was an asshole in the one you read, he was ten times one in the first book LOL
3. My editor said it sucked. I agreed.
4. This is by far not my best sex scene.
5. I've only edited the sex scene (2nd link) and only once; to change it from first person present to first person past. If you see tense changes, I apologize that I didn't catch them all. (I also edited lightly for content). First link is unedited.
6. This was a somewhat different story. Although the basic premise was the same, Austin and Peter were a couple earlier in book 1.

I would have edited more heavily, but, tbh, I'm concentrating on NSI and I didn't want too much time taken away by that.

So without further ado. THESE ARE PASSWORD PROTECTED! You enter (without quotes) the pw: "questions"

The first scene is (and you will NOT like this one, I'm warning you now): http://slashfiction.org/deleted-scene-1/

Prezzies!!! *dives in*

Halfway through #1 : (view spoiler)[ OMG!! You killed Darryl!!!!! You heartless jerk! I hate you! (hide spoiler)] That about the reaction you expected?

ETA: still fucking awesome, though.

[[deleted user]]

Okay #1 was a bit grim, but I'm sick and I liked it (view spoiler)[ if I ignore that it's Darryl lying dead with flies crawling out of his nose. I've mentally made him into a different pink leathered Darryl (hide spoiler)]. I really like Peter blowing up because it was so different from the rest of SG where his reaction is to tighten in on himself like a hedgehog. It was like "Aha. Rage and losing it!! That feels so real". Anyway, I told you I was sick.

[LenaLena]

You and me both. That was a lovely meltdown!

Thanks Dani! Now I can go to bed happy.

Yah, that was before I started to read about tourette's and what real effects that would have. Instead of rage, Peter's ticks made him seem glacial. It was one of my favorite realizations for Austin. It broke his last stereotype.

Lol glad you're not organizing a hit. Darryl remade was better anywho.

[[deleted user]]

I liked the sex scene too. I can't figure out how it would possibly fit the current story, but it was hot. Mostly because Peter and Austin are hot.

Thanks for the treats, Dani. You do fine with the gritty gruesome stuff. I'm going to pester you and Aleks even more now. You two together will be awesome!

Thanks for those scenes Dani. :)
I'm way happier with Darryl alive since he's a character I love, but it was very interesting.
The sex scene was hot! :)

" I'm going to pester you and Aleks even more now. You two together will be awesome!
"

They are going to write something together? That would be glorious!

[Christina]

Thanks for the posts Dani! I agree with the rest, the sex was HOT! The first scene was, well I think Marleen said it best. Can't even image and I'm not going to try.

[Aiko]

Dani! I'm just halfway through the first. And I want to throw things at you. Just so you know. How could you even THINK that???

ETA: Done with 1st deleted scene. And you can write my angst any day. But please don't kill Darryl again? Hurts my heart :<

ETA2: *purr contentedly* Love the Austin/Peter scene. You can write my smut any day as well :D

Thanks for the candy <3

[LenaLena]

Dani and Aleks sitting in a tree.....

Yay! I am all for that.

Ditto Kate on the sex scene.

[Dani]

I actually love writing sex scenes, though that was, I'd say, one of my bottom (herdy herr) three sex scenes ever. The typos are probably extreme. But I'm glad I could share it with y'all. You can thank Kate for the reason =) I owed her bigtime =D

And no, no death scenes for Darryl or any of my main characters. I can guarantee that in this series of books. Having a good editor tell you things like that ruin a book is priceless =D

Thanks guys for the awesome, kind words. =D I'm motivated more than ever now =).

I want to say that while reading this book I have completely lost control of my usually controlled tourette XD


(Ow, just writing the word makes me start to twitch my nose...)

Lawlz! I'm...sorry?

No worries, this just made me feel even closer to the characters. :)

Yay! Lots of hot yummy sex for Cai's book, then. Can't wait. :>

I'm more than repaid Dani. Thanks!!

In the interest of sharing and because I'm had a lot of fun trying to find the original shattered glass story last night, I thought I'd post some more snippets that I came across.

When I put away the first Shattered Glass (though it was called Bunny Slippers, Just Kiss Me, No Kissing and a slew of other terrible titles), I began to really think about writing and the story I wanted to tell. Of course, since I had already written over 75k, it was easy to finally decide that I really liked the original, I just had to tweak it.

But, on the road to discovering that I should just rewrite the original, I played with various concepts of Darryl, Peter and Austin (who was actually Scott at the time LOL, until I fleshed out his mother in my head).

So, here, in all my weird tries to get a story that wanted to be written, are the beginnings of various stories. What you should know:

1. Darryl and Peter are really varied when I used them lol.

2. I tried different characterizations with everyone, none of which stuck (which is why I went to the original).

3. I found myself continually writing comedy, so you can see how my writing developed through this process of elimination of narratives.

4. The stories are varied in terms of everything except Darryl and Peter's ages (until the last one, where the MCs were in high school) =)

5. I might use these bits an pieces in stories later, so you may see the characters and situations, under different names, show up in later fiction =D.

6. I thought the problem with my writing was first person narrative, so I tried various 3rd person.

7. I read over these once before posting. Other than that, the editing is only what I did back last year.

Okay. Now I'm going back to writing NSI =D <3

[Christina]

Woohoo more!

The YA version of Peter is really funny. So perfectly awkward kid with a crush :D

Looking at all the weird iterations was fun. I like the first one (Peter the cat burglar finding Scott/Austin in the middle of sex) as a setup for a new story with different characters. It makes a fantastic opening scene. Just seething with possibilities. :D

[LenaLena]

*sighs* It must be Christmas and we've all been good little girls!

I liked the Young Adult version too. But, yeah, my favorite was the cat burglar scene. That's the one I want to expand on someday. =D Maybe it'll be the start of my first paranormal =D.

Thanks for reading =).

Did you see that SG was voted Book of the Month for April in the MM romance group?!
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...
Congrats, Dani!

I've read the first set of offerings so far, and the Austin/Peter scene was yummy! Now off to read the rest!

[[deleted user]]

Hey, congrats Dani. BOM on your first release is great!!!

[Dani]

@@ Omg! That's crazy. And Awesome. And crazy-awesome. Seriously! I'm did that vacant-stare-at-the-computer thing for a few minutes.

Thanks so much for telling me.

Kate wrote: "Hey, congrats Dani. BOM on your first release is great!!!"

Thanks, Kate =D. Oh gawd. Now I'll have to chew my nails off wondering if they'll hate it *snort*.

[[deleted user]]

*Snort* They'll all love it. Everyone will demand the next books NOW NOW NOW. It will be just like dealing with us only louder and more. :D

See, we've been useful. Breaking you in on loud, irritating demanding fans on a small scale before you move up to dealing with crowds of them. ;)

Makes perfect sense :)

Thanks for posting more scenes Dani! :)
And... " Maybe it'll be the start of my first paranormal =D."

I'm already metaphorically chewing my nails while I wait for the next book :D

oO Thank you? LOL I have yet to run into "irritating". So far everyone has been insanely nice to me. I was expecting more fruit thrown at my head. I bought baskets to regift it =/.

Congrats Dani!!! :D

[Lenore]

Ahem. I figured it was high time I made my appearance on this thread. I finished Shattered Glass today, loved it, came over here to say so and I discovered the snippets! :) Talking about a treat!

(view spoiler)[See, Kate (and Marleen and Aiko and Sara and Christina)? Took me some time but I got there :P You just need to be a liiiiittle patient with me and my insane RL schedules (hide spoiler)]

[Aiko]

*jump on top of Lenore and snuggle* welcome to the madhouse sweetie! ^^

And congrats Dani :D

[Lenore]

*hugging Aiko and jumping up and down with her* Thank you, girlie!

LOL too late for no pressure. Thank you for the congratz =) I'm still a little stunned heh.

Welcome, Lenore. And thanks you for the compliment! =) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And especially the very quickly poorly edited snippets/deleted scenes lol. You're a trooper for reading them.

I'll probably post some more snippets next month. I have another deleted sex scene that might piss people off ^^. It is part of Peter's "voyeurism" kink. If I can find someone to edit, I'll throw that up when I have time; and then I'll hide from the knife throwers.

[Lenore]

Christina wrote: "Welcome to the party Lenore!"

[Dani]

=D Thank you, Christine.

I am seriously considering making a bed up here on Cloud 9. Every time I come to this thread, I float up there. May as well LOL.

[Aiko]

Pffht...of course it's a good thing to be jumped on. It makes it easier to steal cuddles.

And are you enjoying your view up there? I'd so live on cloud 9 if I could. I just have to make or do something extraordinary first....

Voyeurism? Did I hear voyeurism????? I so need to read that. And heck, I'll edit it for you if you can't find anyone else. I do that for a living. Kinda.

Bring on the kink!

[Aiko]

The majority of us worship books like SF and TA...I doubt any kink will scare us

I'm reserving the space next to me for you. =D No doubt you'll be up here (probably booting me off).

Knowing it's in first person, it's never seen an editor other than me, it's present tense and it's way OOC...is that offer still valid =D? If so, let's talk =D LOL

Aiko wrote: "The majority of us worship books like SF and TA...I doubt any kink will scare us"

*grin* I'm not worried about the kink but some might consider it cheating =D. There's more than Peter and Austin involved. LOL *hint hint* In fact, Peter is barely involved.

[Aiko]

Oh Dani you must think I'm the lowest scum on earth if you believe I'd ever boot you off your cloud. You deserve that spot! I'd happily come visit if you have cookies though ;D

And for the...threesome? I'm just projecting my fantasies into what you say here..hehe...I have no problem with it ;D

[LenaLena]

I'm not a monogamy fundamentalist. Bring it on!
