WrenExperimenting

This is the point at which I finally admitted that I was writing an extended story. For good or bad, the ideas just wouldn't leave me alone, so from here it stops being a series of connected one offs and becomes I think a little more cohesive.

Like I said, a long one. Here is part two. Adults only warning still applies.

Believe it or not, another challenge, although again I can't remember the topic. But once more it seemed to go very well with what had been written so far, so it seemed logical to just keep going. I was still in denial however about being in the process of writing a long fic - a prospect which simply terrified me. Although it was around here that the name got shortened to just "Experiment".

( Chapter Two: The Experiment Continues )

Experiment was my first long fic. Not that I knew that when I started. If I had, I never would have written it. I was totally appalled by the very notion of writing anything longer than a few pages. So Experiment started life as a one-off challenge fic. Then another challenge came along that that naturally seemed to flow on from it, then another, and so on. Till finally I had to admit that I was writing a long fic and actually enjoying it.

For good or ill, without that gradually easing into the process, there would have been no Homecoming and certainly no Reverberations.

Such is life.

I started writing immediately after S3 and as a result we have not lost Vic; Brian has both his balls; neither the lesbians nor Debbie have yet degenerated into irrational shrews and Emmett and Ted have not been stripped of their dignity by the ridiculous plot lines that were forced on them in S4 and S5. On the other hand, Ted hasn't stepped up into the place he held as Brian's friend by the end of canon S5 either.

Anyway, here it is, the first chapter - which started out life as a little one off called:
