I've figured out Stella's family history in the Snafu-verse. This makes me extremely happy. Now we've just got Aiden left, and I don't think there are going to be any big family dramas planned for her. Although Danny's family on the Messer side wants to make an appearance...which I really hope they don't, because the Messer family is hugely disfunctional and nothing to do with Danny, his brothers, and his father all put together can possibly end well. Or begin well, for that matter.

Just off to go check canon for what we know about Stella to make sure we don't have a problem with the Snafu fanon.

I had problems with this chapter. I really did. Unlike with Snafu, I had no real idea how NYM was going to end (Snafu I knew all along, which is what kept me writing) until yesterday (I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you). I had no real goal to meet except to get it done so I could get to Omerta. NYM is a "bridge" story, I guess, tying together Snafu and Omerta. It's told through Danny's eyes, mainly, but it's not his story the way Snafu or Omerta are. It has a lot to do with the team, it's much more character-oriented than case-oriented. It continues the plot line that started in Snafu and will (hopefully, if the PTB don't hate me) conclude in Omerta. It sets up story lines that will be resolved in Omerta, maybe a few that will be resolved somewhere later down the line than Omerta, introduces important Omerta characters, and allows me to develope my version of the CSI: NY team.

I haven't had a lot of time to write lately, what with homework, sax lessons, band and orchestra practice, and the fact that it's concert season. However, last night I came back from my band concert and had maybe half an hour till the time I usually go to bed. I turned on Deneb (that's my computer. Yes, I name everything, I have issues that way), opened up Word, glanced at what I'd written previously in NYM, and started writing. I wrote for an hour and came back with 2300 word chapter and actual plot. I was afraid I'd have to step away from CSI: NY fic until I got back into the flow, but I don't need to anymore, because I know where NYM's going now. I know the characters, and I know the plot (more or less). I know how it's going to end, and what the epilogue's going to be. And I know what's coming next.

And you call yourselves criminalists. )
