An 11th Novel in the It Matters Series?

It's been two years since I last published an instalment in my multi-chaptered homage to Death Note. Naturally people occasionally ask about this, even as they declare themselves resigned to the fact that no further adventures will ever happen.

Never say never.

The fact is that I'm already twenty-eight chapters (fully or partially written) into an eleventh novel.  It takes place two years after the events in The Walls Came Tumbling Down and it's probably the lightest one yet.

Let's face it. We needed something a little heart warming after the sheer darkness of Annals of Fear and WCTD!

The as yet unnamed story focuses upon the activities of the EHC, hence it's more Matt-centric than most of the previous ones. However, those who've read the drafts say that the focus serves to provide much more insight into Mello. He gets to explore his softer side a little more.

However, please don't get too excited here. Glaciers move and continents form faster than I'm writing this. I began last October, and only 28 chapters are even vaguely there.

:D I would wait until my dying day for more of your series. You can't expect everything to fly smoothly or even have the time for it to, so i say that 28 chapters since last october is pretty good. Took me 2 years to get a 15 chapter one out hahah.

Hello there, cariad! Lovely to see all the old gang coming out to play!

You say the kindest things. Thank you. <3 I can totally empathize with it taking two years to get a single chapter out. Real life really does get into the habit of happening. :(

How is your writing coming on?

It is, I have missed MB and the people there.

And you're welcome :)

My writing is going good, when I am in the mood to write after work. I have too many ideas and not enough hands to write them haha. I am currently 24k into a new fic, so it's good.

Despite the fact that there's a sodding great 'reply' button here, I hadn't noticed it until you used it! I've been replying to people with a whole new thread. -.- (I swear I used to be a geek...)

I miss the MB gang too. Hence finding new ways for us all to hang out again.

Wow! Nice one on the 24k into the new fic! You put me to shame.

When I read this I could not help BUT to get excited!! ShinigamiMailJeevas and I were just talking about the series a few nights ago, wishing you would write more. *haha* Today I awoke to find out that more is already in progress. It's shaping up to be a good day. :)

Always good to put a smile on somebody's face! (And even better to know that you're still talking about the stories after all this time! *preen*)

Enjoy your day.

Well the replies went well until the button disappeared XD oh well.

Yeah...but my brain cant seem to find an ending to it. There is so much planned, except an ending.

Yes, me and Melmat discovered that last night. -.- I'll have to look at the coding again.

I am familiar with the genre of not being able to find an ending. Sometimes I sit on it. Sometimes I just write and write until one appears. The trick is generally to hand it over to Mello. He usually finds a way, unless you're forcing him into something he doesn't want to do.

Yeah, Mel mentioned that last night as we talked. No real worries, least its letting comments right?

See I can't hand it over to Mello, not really, as it's more from Matt's perspective and everyone else is just along for the ride XD The idea is actually a crossover. Funny since I always hated them with a passion and now my brain seems to have made it's life mission by writing them… urg.

In that case, take your Bolsh-iest, most dominant character and let Matt follow them around. Their sheer activity will carry the story along.

I might have to try that :) Thankfully i got a bit of notes down as to where i want to go with the latest chapter so i might be able to get something written while off work.

Your characters let you go where you wanted to go? Wow! Mine never did! I just kept on writing and hoped they'd eventually give me a jumping off point. :)

I wouldn't say they let me exactly. Especially if the Ms are not in the mood XD i just happened to get lucky. It happens occasionally hahah.

I've had it when I'M not in the mood, but if you let Mello have his head, then he's generally always ready to play. Matt, not so much.

That's my experience anyway.

You realise that non-writers probably think we're mad? But these people DO come to life inside our heads, else we wouldn't be able to write them.

For me it really depends on the fic i'm writing as to who decides to be a pain. Sometimes I get lucky and they behave, well as long as there is some sort of action. It's the small details and downtime they seem to fight me on XD

Matti

Have them reflect upon the action and see if that works as a compromise?

Hey there!
I don't want to be a bother, but I just wanted to ask if the It Matters series is available as a pdf-download, since I'd like to have it on an e-Reader.
I didn't know where else to ask, so I hope here is all right... :)

I keep being asked to do this, then never getting around to it. I did create an e-book of 'My Own Way', but it took a while, as all of the chapters are on individual notebook pages.

Mind you, I was trying to turn them into Kindle compatible books at the time, as that's what someone else had asked for. Leave this with me and I'll see if I can turn them into pdfs any easier.

Hi Gina,

Click the link on my name to see how far I've gone with this. i.e. Don't get too excited! But it's a start.
