    The Girl with No Name

    The void was empty yet warm, like an endless summer night. Within it the girl drifted, without sense, without need. A million miles away the remnants of a battle echoed like waves upon some distant, receding shore. How long had it been? Hours? Days? Years? Perhaps eternity. And then, she began...

    Dawn

    Kidman lay on her back on the extra comfy mat on the floor. She felt much lighter now, freer, perhaps even as free as before she turned to hiding. She had been holding her breath for so many years, swimming for so many miles. At last, land. It was quiet in her small cell. Quiet and dim. And...

    In what seemed ages hence, two anomalies crossed each other upon a tarmac. They took each other in, sized each other up, then continued on their way under the eve of a solar eclipse. A year passed, damaging the more tender of the two while second grew further estranged. In spring they met again...

    Caution Aftermath (Resonating part 2)

    The diamond had rebuffed Kidman’s increasingly desperate attempts to access Flag’s biological matrix until a flash blinded her. Then she only had a moment to see the sorcerer smile before he swallowed her whole. Kidman opened her eyes to pulsing darkness. She didn’t know how she had gotten in...

    Caution Resonating [Kidman (Neb)/Flag]

    Every time Flag entered the decrepit bank he felt that he should at least be somewhat worried that someone would nail him for trespassing; that something as stupid as a recurring B&E would be what finally does him in. These fears were unfounded and as usual, there was nobody to stop him from...

    Co-Written Last Chance

    Previously! Written by Vic and Kidman At last the weight of impending doom was too much for Kidman to manage alone. It was time to talk to Vic, even though she was still intimidated by his rank. He was the closest to Carmen. Truly there must be something special to him. Now she found him on...

    Co-Written Anomalies

    Previously! Kidman/Flag collaboration Ever since his in-depth discussion at the Austrian cemetery, Flag found himself bouncing from one place to another in order to "prepare" for the heist to come. However, preparation only came in the form of information delivery and had he known that he...

    Training

    Previously! Kidman had spent her first night after meeting Carmen hiding out in the swamp, thoroughly panicked. Going from relative isolation to the den of one of the most powerful, magical people in the world, (where she'd promptly embarrassed herself), was stressful enough. But worse, she...

    Co-Written Let it Begin

    Previously! Written by Kidman, Carmen, and Vic. One year later Kidman was on the roof. No one else came up here and it had a wonderful view of the moors. She felt safe here, where she could see everything and no one could see her. There was a time when this base saw more action, years ago...

    End of Summer 3

    Previously! Kidman told no one about what had happened with the snake. Or the ants. Or the many other small fixes she relented to when they crossed her path. So long as no one knew, she was safe. That was the lovely thing about VILE, she realized. No one really knew anyone here, and the need to...

    End of Summer 2

    Previously! Exhaustion and hope that all would be restored by morning had driven Kidman to bed early, but she found only restless shadows there and so abandoned her alcove for the garage roof. Now she gazed out over the moors, cool and pale under the moon. "Grey hair, scars, and lost...

    Q & A AMA - Neb Ullyss/Kid Kidman

    Neb is 5 feet tall, about 7 stone, and looks completely, totally normal, except having grey hair and a face full of scars. She showed up at a VILE safe house when she was roughly 13, unable to talk, emotionally stunted, with no memory of who she was, and just sorta...stayed. She was named Kid...

    Co-Written Ice Cream Social

    (Patty/Neb) (Somewhere in the English highlands, about ten years ago) It didn’t get very hot in the highlands in the summer, but even if it was the middle of winter, the gray-haired girl with a face full of fresh scars would still have been stalking the ice cream vending machine. Ice cream was...

    Shirts

    Being considered ‘unnamed’ didn’t mean the same thing in VILE as it did in the outside world. Out there it meant a person without worth. Here it simply meant you were a member of the support corps; a grunt, or a shirt, who hadn’t taken on a named, solo henchman status. Blue shirts made up the...

    Co-Written Motives

    PREVIOUSLY! A journal by Flag and Neb Flag would never admit it, but he was thankful that the “doctor” had come in when he did, for the jester - with all his talk about the proper way to do things - seemed unable to handle himself politely in a hospital situation. While everyone was focused on...

    Time Enough

    PREVIOUSLY! (A Joe and Neb post) Once it was clear that Neb would survive her ordeal and the arrow had been pried out of her shoulder, the tiny woman was moved out of the admittedly creepy basement medical center and into a bare bones hospital room on the second floor. It didn’t have much, but...

    Aftermath

    (This entry was written a while ago by Neb, Flag, Joe, and Dr. Roux.) PREVIOUSLY! Neb had maintained a hint of a smile as the plane gained altitude. She had little doubt of Flag’s assessment that she'd been poisoned, and knowing Bran, it was probably a fatal. She wasn’t ready to go by any...

    Closed Dungeons and Dragons

    PREVIOUSLY! Background!: Flag has turned back time, nuking the old line. From the ashes Kidman has reformed as Neb Ullys, and, after realizing her heavy exposure to Chernobyl's fallout has sentenced her to an early and painful death, has decided to seek a way to use her healing powers on...

I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
