  • Congratulations, Phoenix Spiritus. You definitely deserve to be made a canon author, your work on Hank's stories is always a joy to read, you've brought such emotion to his protrayal. I can't wait to read more of your work, both on Hank and any other characters you come up with.

    Thank You for story comments appreciated and help me know me they are being read and liked. :-) Note: My story comments can't nor are trying to replace reading the stories, simply my way of enjoying them and letting the authors know I enjoy them.

    With you writing Hank, I hope we see a bit of TK wackiness.

  • Thank you all for you kind words, I hope to write many stories for your enjoyment :)

    I want to say a big thank you to ElrodW who first invited me to start writing canon stories, and who suffered through my original drafts, and constant email pestering, so if you want to blame / thank anyone for my Hank stories, ElrodW's your man :)

  • Congratulations Phoenix. The world of Whateley is a richer one with your contributions.

    Hopefully you'll have time to work on your Cylsteth writings between your adventures conjuring Canon creations. Look at things this way - with your promotion, there won't be any doubt about it fitting into the library.

  • I thought it likely you may eventually join the ranks of the Canon Cabal (TINCC) - not just for Hank but your micro-scenes of the younger Franks sibling, which served as inspiration for Elrod choosing a very similar fate for him - so I can imagine plenty of collaboration between you two on the poor lad's fate in the coming months / years...

    ...that is, assuming you don't immediately take a year's sabbatical to read through over a decade's worth of background material...

    As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

  • Congrats Phoenix I hope you have much success.

    Many people hear voices when no-one is there.
    Some are called 'mad' and shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.
    Others are called 'writers' and they do pretty much the same thing.

    Yes, but its usually not accessible. You (and/or your muse) have to drink a whole lot of scotch to clear enough of a path to the door.

    There goes Phoenix Spiritus

    In the lack of words
    At the birth of a site

    Wealth and fame,
    He's ignored

  • Congrats! RCG was a great thread in the saga of zany Jade. Thank you for fleshing out the story. The noodle incident was also some fun Jade craziness. You write effortlessly and I love the depth you brought to Hank.

    Any chance the story could get a date? It is clearly a post-Jamie tale. No biggie it's just easier to file away in my brain that way.

    Cheers! Welcome to canon!

  • OK, it's been a while and some worthwhile questions were asked earlier in the thread that I now know how to answer.

    ...that is, assuming you don't immediately take a year's sabbatical to read through over a decade's worth of background material...


    They are protecting me from this by keeping the material away from me, but still ... WOW! ... What they've planned, and what I've become privy to being planned, there is some deep stuff here!

    So, not quite a year, but a third Hank story I had at what I thought was about half done before I became canon, is proving to be way less then this once it came time for canon conversion and actually working together to progress not just my story, but the plot lines as a whole.

    Now, don't worry, I got the cliff notes, and after a hiatus while I got my head around things, I've started writing again to get this story finished, and it's going to be much, much better for all the awesome ideas the other authors suggested to me.

    Hopefully you'll have time to work on your Cylsteth writings between your adventures conjuring Canon creations. Look at things this way - with your promotion, there won't be any doubt about it fitting into the library.

    --Centaur Prime


    So, obviously, my priority is on converting and finishing my Hank story (because, well, I need to start paying them back for the honour of promoting me to canon author), but I do intend to finish all my stories after that (as, you know, a self imposed 'learn to write right!' goal).

    So, in order, I hope to finish my non-Hank Whateley Fan Fiction Solomon story next, then move onto the Clysteth stories. To be honest, I have five books worth of Clysteth at various stages of being written. Clysteth is basically my 'writers block' project. If I get stuck writing some story, I start reading my Clysteth books and eventually something will click in one of the books and I do a little more writing for it till I make a breakthrough with whatever story I was blocked with and go back to that.
