Midnight Whispers
QAF Brian and Justin Fanfiction
[Reviews - 52] Printer
Summary: REPOST. After watching QAF Episode 213, I kept waiting for another episode involving Divina Devore. Since it didn’t happen in the series, here’s my version of her return. This story was intended to be a standalone story. In truth, it is one of several sequels to Between Now And Then and the explosive Sunday dinner at Debbie’s on Day 49. Brian and Justin have legalized their relationship and are back in New York. Ben and Hunter have moved out of the house, leaving Michael living alone. The dates in the story follow the existing timeline of the Talisman Series.

Author’s Comments: Okay, I know this isn’t quite what you were expecting. The sequel “And So Moving Forward” is still coming soon. I just needed some extra time because the research is taking longer than I expected. In the meantime, I wanted to share this sequel with you. I will admit this story is a little different than what I usually write. There is some angst, so I will be posting frequently, so it won’t be too painful. (smile)

3. Impromptu Data Gathering by paeansong [Reviews - 1] (1291 words)
Author’s Comments: Just so that you know, in late May 2007, the National Archives did, in fact release to the website ancestry.com…military records going back to 1607. Ancestry.com is usually where searches start when one is tracing family histories. As I understand from the news reports, the site spent three million dollars to digitize the information it received. You could access the information on the site for free until June 6, 2007. Ancestry.com is one of those sites that you usual pay an annual fee for unlimited access to their data. Obviously, Hunter and I did our research during this free period. (smile) The references in this story to the type of documents viewed are essentially true. Just a touch of art imitating life! (smile)

26. Chapter 26 by paeansong [Reviews - 1] (2666 words)
Author’s Comment: There is a reference in this chapter to the comic “Owly”. Here is how Google describes the comic: This Eisner award winning series (think the Oscars of comics) delves into the story of Owly, a likeable owl who has many adventures with his friends. The great thing about this series of graphic novels is that they actually have no words…just symbols and pictures that help tell the story. This is a great way to help kids use their imaginations to tell stories and to encourage them to come up with their own meaning of the story. This is a great series for beginner readers to get comfortable with books, storytelling, and will be a great lead in to reading. Michael, because of his vast experience with comics and storytelling, used this to created a slightly different experience for Jenny Rebecca.


27. Why Don't You Join Me by paeansong [Reviews - 2] (2512 words)

Author’s Comments: Just a note to let you know that there are only a few more chapters remaining in this story. I realize that it takes me a long time to tell a story, but, I admit, the length of this one was still a bit of a surprise, even to me. However, I needed this many chapters to permit the story, with all its characters, to play out to its logical conclusion. I thank everyone for their comments…even if they didn’t necessarily agree with me. (smile) And now, here is Chapter 41 of 43. Enjoy!

Author’s Comments: Well, here it is…the final chapter in my little experiment of the sidebar/sequel. I should warn you that this chapter is a little longer that normal at almost 6,000 words, as I tried to tie up a few loose ends. I hope that you like the ending. And finally, here in the U. S. with Thanksgiving approaching, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you and your family enjoy the day. Now, here’s the final chapter of the story. Enjoy!
