TT's Miscellany
(Fan Fiction And Stuff)

Welcome to my page. After finally being tempted to write my first fan fiction and post it on-line, I decided I wanted a place where I could post it and control how it looked, updated, etc. So, I've created this page.

This will also include ideas and stories I'm working on but not posting. I made the mistake of posting the fic "Memories" before I really had it as far as I wanted and have since found myself struggling to update regularly. So, I've decided that only complete stories will get posted to the fan-fiction sight and the wips can stay here, hidden away until I'm done with them, but available for those who search.

If you'd like to let me know what you think of what I'm writing, please email me at: TT's Miscellany. Thanks!

Now for the important stuff - the fics!

Stories Recently Added To TT's Miscellany: This page will list out only recent additions to this site. Please not that most of the additions have been posted elsewhere and moved here.

Active WIPS (updated within the past 3 months)

Right Turn From Reality

* Cupcake middle, Babe ending * An AU idea that was sitting in the back of my mind for a while and finally demanded recognition. This story starts about 5 years before Stephanie becomes a bounty hunter. Each chapter will be based off of one of the numbered books 1-11. The story contains both Ranger and Stephanie's POV's. Last updated 27 January 2009 - Prologue to "Hot Six" now posted.
Take A Chance

*Babe* Something big happens to Stephanie and she needs some help and guidance. Diesel shows up and recommends she go to Ranger. Stephanie is torn. She and Joe broke up eight months ago, but Ranger's been scarce ever since. Can they find the time together for her to tell him her secret as well as reveal her heart? I really hope we find out soon because I don't want this dragging on forever. ;-) Last Updated 3 September 2008

Dormant WIPs (slow updating or stalled stories)
Technicolor Nightmare

(Suitable for people over 13) Stephanie is trying to get a skip when a Force 1 hurricane blows through Trenton. She is injured and finds herself transported to someplace much more Technicolor in nature. Last Updated 7/18/2008
Immortal Twelve

**Alternate Universe/Crossover with "Highlander"** (Suitable for people over 13) This story/AU is Babe-Cake in nature, though, as always, probably missing the romance. Set at the end of "Eleven On Top" - what happens to Stephanie when Ranger wasn't quite as "in-time" as he thought with his rescue. Last updated 12/31/07
Inheritance

(*Babe* - Suitable for people over 13) This story could stand as-is, but I feel like it needs to be developed more at some point in the future.Last updates 10/31/08
Memories

Plum Sentinel

**Alternate AU/Crossover with "The Sentinel"** This Au is a cross-over with the television show "The Sentinel". It is definitely an AU, though the events of the series through "Twelve Sharp" are exactly the same. This just takes a left turn to reality after that and filters the events of the series through the changes that take place. Currently there is no romance involved in this AU since I'm just setting things up.
